Hello everyone who love to play splinterland, almost EOS now, Have you reached the rating for the intended league? Have you receive good chest reward this season ? So far i only got 2 chaos legion pack. This week i want to write blog about Battle Weekly Challenge held by splinterlands. This battle theme is about Runemancer Kye, monster from Water Element with 11 mana cost, have good magic damage and can get some HP everytime it attack the enemy monster. I play in Gold league Modern Format using my main account and silver deck max card. All my card is renting. I have several reward card max level but i delegate it to my scholar account.
I'm not very good at writing, sorry if there are mistakes or many shortcomings in this writing. I will try to explain as best I can the strategy that I use, hopefully it can help new players / beginners get more wins.

Ruleset
From left to right :
- Noxious Fumes, all monsters inflicted by poison status at the start of battle. It will give 2 damage to all monster HP everytime the round start.
- Melee Mayhem, all melee monster can attack from any position.
- Mana Cap 29.
- Can Use element Fire, Water, Death and Dragon.
My Lineup and strategy
For Noxious Fumes ruleset i think the most important when choose monster is :
- Search if there is monster with immunity skill in element ruleset.
- Then we look if there is monster with cleanse skill to cancel the effect of poison in the first position monster.
- We can used monster with skill tank heal/heal/triage to prolonged the life of self or other monster. Other option is to used monster with life leech or Scavenger skill.
- Use a summoner that can increase the amount of HP or armor. If have armor at least first attack will not hit HP. Can prolonged the life of the monster which the HP already decreased each round by poison.
Noxious Fumes is battle of endurance.
Sometimes we can ignore all of the above and just choose the monster with big mana with great HP and attack. Usually in High mana battle.
This battle have Meele mayhem ruleset, i'm guessing that the enemy will bring melee monster with immunity skill and other melee monster which have good HP and damage. That monster with immunity skillis is in Fire and Death element To counter that i choose water element because the summoner can give armor and have monsters that have skill Tank Heal, Triage, Cleanse and life leech.
Let's discuss my lineup for this battle :
My summoner Kelya Frendul, can give armor and speed by 1.
This is our main tanker in this battle :
Strength :
- Has a good magic attack of 3
- Great armor and good HP.
- Skill Flying will increase the chance to dodge melee and range attack monster by 25%
- Skill Life leech in this battle will make Runamancer life longer, everytime the monster attack will give back 2 HP.
Weakness :
- Decent speed only 3.
- Big mana cost. If the enemy bring monster with giant killer will easily killed the Runemancer Kye.
This meele monster with reach skill can attack from this position, have good speed, but only low HP, i used it because only cost 3 mana and have reflection shield just in case the enemy bring monster with blast skill.
This monster main job to remove poison status from the first position monster. Only low HP, it will die fast but it's okay, as long poison from monster in the first position is remove.
Can't attack i used it because of the Tank Heal skill to heal the Runemancer Kye, Have 5 HP so at least can heal for 2 round before dying.
Triage another heal, but only can heal monster not in the front position. Will make the monster life longer will attacking the enemy.
This is our backline tanker, Cause i only have 1 mana left and 1 slot not fill yet so i bring the 1 mana cost monster to put here. If the enemy used sneak monster at least can withstand 1 attack before died cause of poison. This monster can attack because of the ruleset melee mayhem but only 1 damage and slow speed.
The Battle
Round 1 :
This round only Harklaw can hit Runemancer Kye, other monster miss.
Round 2 :
Every enemy attack in this round hit Runemancer Kye but it manage to survive. At this round Runemaster Kye HP reach 12.
Jinn Chwala enemy and our Hardy Stonefish died.
Round 3 :
Enemy Naga Assassin and our River Nymph died because got poison damage.
Enemy Desert Dragon died killed by Runemancer Kye.
Round 4 :
Our Angelic Mandarin and Tide Biter died because the poison damage.
Runemancer Kye HP now reach 16. Only 1 HP left for Merdaali Guardian.
For sure will died in round 5.
Round 5 & 6 :
Merdaali Guardian died received poison damage, and now Runemancer Kye VS Harklaw.
Harklaw tried hard to hit Runemancer Kye but miss 😀. Easy win for Runemaster Kye.
Did your strategy work?
My strategy work because the enemy brought monsters that match my expectations which is melee with immunity, and because luck too, u can see in that battle many attack miss because of that flying skill Runemancer Kye have. With Leech skill and Tank Heal from Merdaali guardian the Runemancer Kye like having double heal.
Other lineup option for this ruleset
For this ruleset especially the poison you can try several monster combo from this element :
- Fire element, Forgotten One with Immunity skill and Scavo Chemist for cleanse skill
- Death element, Harklaw with immunity skill, Windeku with heal skill and Riftwing for scavenger skill
- Water element, if u used max gold level card, Baakjira have skill heal, it can combo with Merdaali Guardian, Angelic Mandarin and River Nymph like this battle formation
- Neutral, Xenith Monk with heal skill
That combo still not 29 mana cap yet so you can add another monster you like which strong or benefit from this ruleset.
Do you like Runemancer Kye ?
Yes I like it and use it alot in the high mana cost battle (30 or more mana battle). This is the first time i used it for tanker, usually i put it behind so can safely leech the enemy HP.
