Hello Splinters
It has been a busy week with many games played so far. Today also happened to be the day for the end of splinterlands season, and I'm here to present to you my first battle in the new season. This battle came after an announcement has been made for a new battle challenge week having Mycelic Infantry in the spotlight. Please check out the publication in splinterlands community for the requirements of eligibility before presenting your battle. For easy navigation kindly the publication from here
MYCELIC INFANTRY
Mycelic Infantry which according to the description from the splinterlands lore tab are lumbering behemoth fungus. They are considered the least intelligent among the Mycelic family. However, they make strong defense and are always put in the front line. They certainly do have an obvious weakness which is visible in their speed. In other words, they are really slow, though tough.
I have stated a little about the descriptions from the lore tab. If you wish to know more, kindly visit the splinterlands website and navigate to the lore tab of this card. The link to get there is provided above.

Team Selection
WIZARD-OF-EASTWOOD
The choice of a summoner fell on the Wizard of Eastwood. The strategy behind the inclusion of this monster is based on the fact the battle was intended to be physical. ie monsters hitting one another, unlike magic. Since the plan was to rely mostly on melees, there was the need to use a summoner that can help lower the enemy's armor.
MYCELIC-INFANTRY
Monster of the week explained already above.
REGAL-PERYTON
One thing I have learnt to do is not to rely the game entire plan on a particular attack type. This is the reason for the inclusion of this magic monster. Regal Peryton is good at evading attacks from melee and ranged monsters which makes it a better addition than those other earth element magic monsters.
URAEUS
Uraeus had to come in to strike the enemies from behind, an ability is got from being a sneak monster. Its combination with Regal yielded a positive result.
The Strategy Behind the Gameplay
The battle set rules were friendly enough to allow the gameplay exists on neutral ground. The game plan was to enable Mycelic Infantry and Uraeus do the physical damage while Regal does the underground work. Knowing that Mycelic Infantry has what it takes to defend the team, Regal and Uraeus also had it in them to take out the enemies. The removal of the enemy's armor by the summoner made them vulnerable to attack.
To say what seems already obvious, the strategy worked well and the earth side succeeded as the victor.
My Opinion of Mycelic Infantry
This is a monster that has shown high defensive quality. Mycelic Infantry is vulnerable to magic monsters as it has no special ability to shield it from magic attacks. In terms of melee and ranged, it's one of the best and it's quite affordable in the market.
That will be all for this week.
Again, I'm hitting the pause button here for this week. I'd hope to see you next week when I hit the resume button
Thanks for Reading
