Good morning, warriors! This is @zusi78, it is two days left in the season — how's the grind going for you? It’s been intense for me. I’m racing in three tiers: Frontier, Modern, and Survival. Good luck to everyone as you climb the ranks!
There’s a battle I’ve been looking forward to: Quora and Xulag facing each other on the battlefield, each showcasing their abilities and fighting to win for their team. The gods of Splinterlands granted my wish in Modern Ranked — it’s Quora versus Xulag in “Are You Not Entertained?” You may ask why? Quora is an EPIC gladiator,why Xulag is a LEGENDARY gladiator.
Quora got taken out early by my magic dealers, but Xulag’s Void Armor turned him into an unkillable tank! He soaked up damage for ages and bought enough time for the team to secure the win.Absolute Gladiator masterclass.
Splinterlands is no walk in the park,but that's what amps up the excitement.A winning strategy weighs stats, abilities, rulesets, mana caps, and beyond. That's why you must factor them all into your deck building.Toss in strong cards to boost your setups, and push hard to rack up as many victories as possible! 🔥
"Are You Not Entertained?" ruleset lets players bring one extra Gladiator card. It turns battles into Gladiator-heavy slugfests where high-mana tanks and sustain monsters shine.

Fallen Angels:You cannot legendary archons.
This is what played out;

Line up.
Ambush Round. Quick attack on Quora,you just have to take her out early.
Round 3,Xulag now assumed tank position,and with its inbuilt void armor ability,he held on for is other units before he was finally taken out.
Xulag taken out finally.
3 verus 1 situation,I already had the upper hand.
I really expected more from Quora, maybe because my opponent featured her in the tank position,maybe.
Verdict.
I used my other magic dealers to remove Quora early (since she’s a major threat with her dual attacks + heal), while Xulag’s Void Armor let him eat up magic damage safely — turning what would normally be a quick death into a long, annoying sustain that bought my team crucial time.
Even if Xulag died “much later,” he did his job perfectly: absorbing focus, wasting enemy attacks, and letting the rest of my lineup close it out. That’s exactly what a good Gladiator tank does under the Are You Not Entertained? ruleset.
