This time we will talk about the condition __Broken Arrows__, this battle took place in the silver league and the maximum hand was 19. The condition __Broken Arrows__ consists in the reduction of the available cards, since the cards with distance attack cannot be used, that is to say, it is only possible to use cards with direct attack and magic attack. Therefore, it is possible to apply different types of strategies, such as placing cards with the Thorns ability or cards that reflect the Magic Attack. The Unprotected condition is also active, this condition causes the shields to be eliminated. ![3RTd4iuWD6NUeJEn5AVrJUoyatFqBqfcCJi1N7UixR4g2KPKN7w8NpZL7qrJ4ETeGdj5C8fSCmkKo5djkeFuzvQWcR64ztnms59fiTFetwZi249BQ8d1sxNhQ4Z7U3zmzJsPFgJz4qJbeZkV6xZWsNAT9pwr6jS1NWNnjSbb9Pu2Az.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darwinjj/23wWpeRmZ1qTsqJMoRQptKFPpbcCLj8yMwWTTm9rMLzaVLiH7JMd59SZwpk4dGt7pvjw7.png) _{[Source: Splinterlands](https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@splinterlands/battle-mage-secrets-weekly-challenge-s84x96)} ![Picsart_23-11-10_08-49-32-430.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darwinjj/EogNJnZQaN8fPVRDjuHotYZnZmSULGy2165qFJNEJzk6BBEicP2JaTdP7MBWVcBTHNb.png) ---

It would have been great to be able to demonstrate the strategies in a battle with more mana available, but in this battle it was only possible to use water element cards and with a mana limit of 19, neither could I use monsters nor summoners with the Thorns or Magic Reflex ability. So the only option available was to create a team with few cards. My first option was to choose a low mana summoner, so I chose Zeddica. Then I used a zero mana card, such as Torrent Fiend, which would serve as a filler or bait. ![IMG_20240204_225606_969.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darwinjj/23xeXMEFX1FJYTPbjcWy4LJRWVJj4Q8CCb8Voemu3dYoCDf5cydXHCdTJQCQuf2wUmhJg.jpg)

In the other positions I placed Sea Monster, this card has a good attack and can also heal itself, that way it could stay longer in the battle, finally I placed Djinn Oshannus, this card is very strong, as it can use magic to attack and also reduce the magic attacks it receives.

While my opponent used the summoner: Kelya Frendul, plus Cruel Sethropod, Tider Biter, Torrent Fiend, Uraeus, Pelacor Bandit, Chaos Agent. ![Picsart_23-11-10_08-49-32-430.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darwinjj/EogNJnZQaN8fPVRDjuHotYZnZmSULGy2165qFJNEJzk6BBEicP2JaTdP7MBWVcBTHNb.png) --- ### Battle. --- ![IMG_20240204_225549_855.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darwinjj/EoCbLgsLc4FpYoJtEbSAdy8LTvBy1RKCiUfMkPiyN1cHdFKj9ufLJ9vmQVLGWetN4Gy.jpg) _{__Link to the battle Splinterlands web:__ https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sl_1b7aa6deca14fc8f1c53caa297ee20c0}

- In the first round, everything went as planned, so Torrent Fiend was eliminated, and on my opponent's side of the field Cruel Sethropod was destroyed. From there, the real battle began. - __Round 2 and 3__: Again I was able to destroy another card of my opponent, this time I was able to eliminate Tider Biter. The combination of Sea Monster and Djinn Oshannus generated resistance and attacks, which allowed me to maintain stability. In round 3, I was able to eliminate Torrent Fiend, as well as Uraeus. In that round, there were two cards left on each card in the field. - __Round 4 and 5__: In the last round, I finished the battle after eliminating Pelacor Bandit and Chaos Agent. The latter were destroyed by Djinn Oshannus' magic attack. ![IMG_20240204_225552_154.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darwinjj/23tvAS7oUVbCNJ6Dm4EprkhE8zdmTZTZdvtiosdBuxjnekemxLU9Dk6dpUJYaZcxwyNEF.jpg) ![IMG_20240204_225554_712.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darwinjj/23tkk3YJPh6iKVojJhu9JEw6UQcXmLSk3Cfb57iSRft6x2WBFXXy7Xc8CUdTwVqPu7Amz.jpg) ![IMG_20240204_225556_709.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darwinjj/23tkjvBWPqX5LqZSgVTHB6ugZ5Czath2HxHy2QouJ1GyUKnCs8MJcU5kERTFvBrijLmCF.jpg) ![IMG_20240204_225559_966.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darwinjj/23tbJxJhKVYd5kLALNkNmcwzbuutCPSf1vgrQJwPeCZSnF564YDUYvrGWsRddmUQeNFy2.jpg) ![IMG_20240204_225602_844.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darwinjj/Eo8KdYtZHJzZ3B4K9MTyBj46cF9oW89xhf6bN2VFTA3rdrFtFfdoFQ4K2QAFUA9zv9g.jpg) ![Picsart_23-11-10_08-49-32-430.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darwinjj/EogNJnZQaN8fPVRDjuHotYZnZmSULGy2165qFJNEJzk6BBEicP2JaTdP7MBWVcBTHNb.png) --- ### Conclusion.

As I mentioned, the ideal is to create a strategy that generates damage to direct attack and magic attack cards; but this time it was not possible, since I could only use water element cards and the mana limit was 19. So I based my strategy on Sea Monster to keep it as a tank, this was possible because of the healing ability of the card, while in the second position Djjin Oshannus generated attack from the rear position, this combination was effective in the battle.
