In this week's 🌟Splinterlands Social Media Challenge🌟, I'm going to show you a battle where, with the Armored up ruleset, I paid a lot of attention to my lineup and attacking power, and my cards won by delivering big attacks against an equally strong enemy.
I created my team by using 43 of my total mana cap!
Kelya Frendul a water summoner is my choice for this battle because he provides +1 Armor and +1 Speed to all friendly units at just 4 mana cost and as per my strategy I really have to focus on both of these stats. If I am fighting a Water Summoner then Giant Alpine Skink, Pallus, and Djinn Oshannus are mostly part of my team. In this battle, I have placed Chaos Agent in the first position so that he can protect his team's main attackers from the initial attacks of the enemy. And in the last position, Venari Wavesmith provides +2 armor to the whole team with her ability. So in this way, my team has more attacking power and double armor.
Now let's see what happens when the battle starts!
Here in the very first round, Chaos Agent played his role and got knocked out while protecting his team from the first 2 attacks of the enemy. Meanwhile, my cards gave a blow of -4 health to the enemy's Taunt Ability card.
At the beginning of the second round, due to higher speed, my cards in the second and third positions performed the first attacks and knocked out the enemy card with Taunt Ability in the last position. This is like a demonstration of having higher speed which is not used to directly harm the enemy, but imagine that you and your enemy have equal health, then who will win in such a situation? Well, obviously the one who attacks first will have a higher chance of winning.
You see, both of my melee cards have comparatively higher attacking power and all my 4 main attackers have the highest speed as well. This combination of higher speed and higher attack power gives you an edge in battle because not only do you attack first but your attacks also cause the most damage to the enemy.
Here, one of my main attackers finally got knocked out after being weakened by the enemy's Thorns ability, but you see how weak the enemy team has become now. Because firstly the enemy's cards do not have much health left and secondly 2 out of its 3 cards are range attackers which will stop attacking as soon as they come to the first position and that situation will prove to be even more beneficial for my team.
Now you can guess the battle ahead based on your in-game knowledge and if you want to enjoy this entire battle from the beginning then click on its link.
And believe me, you will learn a lot by watching these battles and especially you will get to know the significance of different stats. These stats are not a part of these cards without reason. Not only the attacking capability of a card but also its health, speed, abilities and positioning play an important role in your strategy.
