Greetings to all and sundry on this great platform, I welcome you all to my blog and today I write to participate in this week's challenge. This is going to be my third participation in the weekly challenge and I am very happy to be part of the Splinterlands family. I hope that you guys would like my entry. Without much ado, I would like to go straight to the purpose of this post. Today, the battle ruleset is "Heavy Hitters" and I would submit my entry to that here in this post including a video of my battle.
Per the Ruleset of the game, All units gain the Knock Out ability. I used my personal account @abu78 in participating in this battle. I am currently playing in the Silver stage. Before I demonstrate my battle here, let's briefly look into the Ruleset of the game.

I chose Kelya Frendul; summoner so that my monsters would get an increase in armor and speed. It was a 31-mana game condition and I have to manage my card selection to suit that. In using the Kelya Frendul, I decided to get cards that would fit into this mana condition. I also considered selecting monsters that can attack with high damage as well.
Djinn Oshannus, this card has the ability to reduce magic attack effects from other monsters. It is a level monster and it has 10 lives with no armor. It has a speed of 5 and choosing the kelya frendul summoner gave it a speed of 6. It cost 8 mana.
Round 1:
First of all, all monsters took their effect from the summoner by gaining extra armor and also extra speed as well. My Noa the Just monster with its ability reduced all friendly monsters' armor. My Djinn Oshannus monster made the first magic attack followed by my opponent’s same monster as well.
My axemaster monster then double-attacked his first position monster where it did four damage to its lives. Pelacor Bandit monster of my opponent then attacked my torrent fiend monster where it damaged the armor. The swamp spitter also did damage to Noa the Just’s monster armor. At the end of the first round, no monster was killed from both sides.
Round 2:
Round two then began and as usual, I first did one magic attack on his first-position monster which was left with just three more lives to go. Pelacor bandit then attacked my axemaster monster and it was left with 3 more lives to go. Axemaster then attacked the first position monster of my opponent which finally killed it and then swamp spitter took its position.
Axemaster then performed the second range attack on it as well. At the end of this round, my torrent fiend monster was killed by deeplurker and also I was able to kill his Djinn Oshannus monster as well.
Round 3:
In this round as usual, after my first position monster made the magic attack on the swamp spitter of my opponent. Axemaster then proceeded to attack it again and was able to kill it with its double-range attack.
Deeplurker also attacked my Djinn Oshannus monster but missed and similar to that of Uraeus and Pelacor Bandit that tried attacking my Axemaster monster but failed by missing their attacks. At the end of this round, I was left with four monsters and my opponent was left with three after I killed the Swamp Spitter monster.
Round 4:
In this round, I was able to finish the remaining three monsters of my opponent. My opponent wasn’t able to make even a single attack damage to any of my monsters in this round. Wow, I felt I had it so easy to win this one haha.
That was a cool battle for me, axemaster made a double-range attack and caused four live damages to Deeplurker after which two damages were followed by tide bitter of which one live was left and the kulu swimhunter then killed it with its range attack.
This was how my battle went and I won it with ease. With just one card defeating all three cards of my opponent. It was a successful selection for me in this battle and I think my strategy for going in for the lava launcher card alone was a great one.
