Hello all Splinterlands friends,
This is my entry to the Battle Mage Secrets challenge from the Splinterlands team.
This week's theme is the Explosive Weaponry ruleset, so I would like to share a battle with it.

The battle ruleset

  • 33 mana cap
  • Ruleset - Noxious Fumes and Explosive Weaponry
  • Splinter - Water/Earth/Life and Dragon

Usually, I will choose the high-speed monsters in the Explosive Weaponry battle, to take advantage of early attacks and deal as much damage as possible. However, I need to change my strategy because of Noxious Fume. The ability to stay longer on the battlefield is much more important than making the attack.
With this ruleset, I decided to use Water splinter (again), which is my strongest splinter.

My lineup

SummonerKelya Frendul - to have +1 Speed in order to give the early attacks and +1 armor to protect my monsters
1st positionSea Monster - I chose him because of his Heal ability which can heal himself an amount of health and can stay longer on the battlefield
2nd positionVenari Marksrat - he will die 1st because of Noxious Fume and give +1 to all stats to Sea Monster and DeepLurker
3rd positionDeepLurker - he has good speed with high damage and health, he can attack the lowest health monster and deal the additional damage to adjacent monsters with Explosive Weaponry
4th positionRiver Nymph - her Cleanse ability to remove the effect of Noxious Fumes on Sea Monster
5th positionRiver Hellondale - his Resurrect ability will revive Venari Marksrat 1 time to give the additional +1 stats to Sea Mosnter and DeepLurker
6th positionCreeping Ooze - to use up all the mana and reduce opponent's monster speed in order to deal the early attacks

The battle

  • My opponent also used a similar strategy with Venari Marksrat, River Nymph. But my opponent used Merdaali Guardian to heal Djinn Oshannus. It has a little disadvantage because Merdaali Guardian has low health so she will die after 2 rounds and couldn't heal Djinn Oshannus anymore.
  • Finally, I can win the battle within 2 rounds and 4 monsters out of 6 still stood on the board.
  • Another thing that I should keep in my is to avoid using low-health monsters in the Noxious Fumes battle like my opponent.

That's all for now and hope you enjoy this battle.
I would love to see your battle with the Explosive Weaponry rule set in the Splinterlands community.
