Feel like sharing this brawl today. This is my first post on braw battle, i was happy about this battle and you can use the format for your ranking battles.
This battle is not my best battle but the strategy is very good and useful- the combination of two zero mana cost and the position I used them.
Corpse fiend is a chao card and while furious chicken is a rewards card. What a good combination card.
Corpse Fiend is a chao card with zero mana, this type of monster is good when small mana is given in battles just like what happens here. It ha speed of three which makes it attack faster in battles
Both monsters are good in battles if the mana cap given is small, especially in equalizer rule. I was so deliberate in using both monsters because I needed to win the brawl battle.
RULESET
Unprotected: Monsters do not have any armor and do not get armor from abilities or summoners buffs. Following this rule, no need to use any monster or summoner that gives armor. Using such a summoner will just be wasteful because the armor will not reflect in the monsters. This was the reason I did not use any armor monster.
Equalizer: The initial health of all monsters is equal to that of the monster on either team with the highest base health.
Choosing one monster here may result in defeat. It is good to choose more than one to avoid defeat since it is the equalizer rule.
Mana: 12
The smallest mana cap in splinterlands
ARRANGEMENT
Furious Chicken: I thought my opponent would come with good melee monsters. My plan was to use furious chicken to delay while magic monsters would be doing the damages. Unfortunately, it was scorch fiend that my opponent used as the first monster. This scorch fiend zero mana monster.
Corpse Fiend: never expected that my opponent would come with zaku. But it was awesome for me because the blast ability was reflecting on corpse fiend in the front and reflecting on life saver at the back. It got destroyed by blast ability in the second position.
Shadowy Presence: furious chicken, corpse fiend and shadowy presence were to delay attack from the front of the battle. This was to prevent the two major attacking monsters from being eliminated.
Shadowy presence also got selected due to its one mana.
Venari Bonesmith: hmmmm! Life leech was one of the major factors here. Before getting to first position, it would have gotten more life: never mine of one magic attack of venari bonesmith bot understood that, its one magic attack would contribute significantly to the damage of opponent monsters.
On getting to round 5, venari bonesmith health had increased to 10. Therefore, even though the monster led the battle, I would have won.
Life safer: addition of another monster with life leech ability made the battle interesting. Life leech ability kept this monster in battle to the end.
Cursed Slimeball: this was the major reason I placed slimeball as the last monster; I placed it there against a sneaky monster.
When i selected slimeball, i placed it in the middle while life safer was the last monster. I just remember a battle like this where I arranged all my attacking monsters at the back and my opponent used silvershield assassin and feral spirit to destroy all my attacking monsters from behind.
This silly mistake of mine made me wise and arranged my monsters very well. If not for the repositioning of slimeball to the last position; I might have lost the battle to my opponent.
Sometimes, it is good to place such monsters in the last position, to delay the attack.
