Focus Other Stats When Life Is Equal

Introduction

Hello there! @Saydie here, playing Splinterlands everyday!

I'm here for this week's Battle Mage Secrets with the featured rule set Equalizer. It is a rule set that makes the health of all monsters the same on the monster with highest health.

The Battle that I will show to you this week was from bltzr-wizard-726 which is the scholar account awarded to me by Balthazar guild that has max level Chaos Legion deck and is currently playing on the Diamond league for modern and Gold league for wild but before I show you the battle, let us learn more about this rule set.

Equalizer

Abilities to Consider:

Rule Set Icon	Description
Equalizer	The initial Health of all Monsters is equal to that of the Monster on either team with the highest base Health. Don't use high HP monsters and focus on high damage. Try to use a lot of monsters as well.

Buff Abilities	De- buff Abilities	Counter Abilities	Desired Abilities
Protect Divine Shield	Rust Weaken		Shield Void Heal Tank Heal

Protect and Divine Shield if monsters have extra armor and divine shield, their health won't be reduced so easily while when attacked by melee monsters or use melee monsters to attack the opponent.
When there is an Equalizer ruleset, reducing the health and armor of the opponent with Weaken and Rust would serve to defeat the opponents faster.

Its Ideal to have Shield or Void to reduce the damage taken from the opponent and any form of heal can allow monsters to sustain damage more and last longer.

My Team

Summoner	1st	2nd	3nd	4th	5th	6th

For this battle, we have the featured rule set Eaqualizer which equalizes the health of all monsters allong with Target Practice and Going the Distance which makes range monsters the only cards that I can use. Given this conditions, I choose the following cards for my line- up:

Summoner: Obsidian since I can only use the Earth element and this is the only max level summoner that I can use.
1^st Position: I used Drybone Raider as it is both a melee and range monsters that can still be used with the given rule set and has the Double Strike ability that allows it to be able to attack twice per round. It also has the Shatter which removes the armor of the target monster and Cripple to deduce its max health every time it gets attacked.
2^nd Position: I placed the Fungus Flinger to be the target of Snipe attacks so that on it's death, the Martyr ability takes effect and give a stat boots to the monsters next to it.
3^rd Position: I placed Gargoya Devil as it has the Close Range ability that allows it to be able to attack at the 1^st position and has the Flying ability which gives it 25% chance to evade attacks.

4^th Position: I placed Goblin Tower as it got armor so even it it can't attack, can still last longer at the front. As a range monsters, its Blast ability will be helpful to deal damage to more enemies per turn.

5^th Position: I placed Hunter Jarx which got the True Stike ability, meaning all of its attacks will never miss the target but was very slow so the near to the last position would be ideal for it to be able to deal damage as far as it can.
6^th Position: I placed Supply Runner since it gives Strengthen and Swiftness to increase the health and speed of my team as long as it remains on play.

Revealing Battle Secrets

^{Pre- battle Phase: Applying ability buffs and de- buffs}

Round 1:

Both sides Drybone Barbarian attacks each other but my side has the advantage since I have Shatter that reduces its armor at the 1^st strike and Cripple that reduced its max health when I damage it.
Both Fungus Flinger was defeated by the Hunter Jarx on both side which increases the stats of both Drybone Raider and Gargoya Devil on both Sides.
Both Goblin Tower attacked Gargoya Devil but my team's attack missed while the opponent hit, causing it to lost its armor and deal Blast damage to my Drybone Raider and Goblin Tower's armor.

Round 2:

As my Gargoya Devil does not have armor, attacks penetrated it and was eventually defeated by Hunter Jarx but the same thing also happen to his Gargoya Devil,
Both Drybone Raider attacks each other by which mine remains with 1 more health so when my Goblin Tower landed an attack on the opponent's Supply Runner, the Blast damage has taken Drybone Raider of the opponent while mine remains with 1 health when his Goblin Tower attacked.

Round 3- 4:

My Supply Runner attacks their Goblin Tower which got its armor reduced to 2. Meanshile, Drybone Raider attacks the opponents Supply Runner which got it defeated followed by an attack on Goblin Tower which removed all of its remaining armor.
My Hunter Jarx attacks the opponents Hunter Jarx which got its health reduced while it attacks my Goblin Tower that removes all of its armor but my Goblin Tower gets back with and attack that defeats their Hunter Jarx.

As Goblin Tower cannot attack and only has 2 health, 1 hit from Supply Runner is all I need to finish the match and won the battle.

Battle Recap

Here is a replay of the battle which at you can watch at 3speak or in Splinterlands.

Did your Strategy Work?

As Equalizer rule set makes the health of all monsters the same, the mana ocst of the monsters does not really matter whether you fill it all or not but what's important was that you have placed as many monsters as much as you can with as much damage and speed as you can cause this will help you to be able to do more damage and be the faster one to be able to attack.
