Hello Splinterlands lovers, how are you feeling today? It is always an opportunity for us to showcase our skills and strategies every week. This week has come again; and we are given a task of sharing our battle with 'heavy hitter'. Heavy hitter is one of the Splinterlands game rules; I so much love this rule because the moment a particular monster is stunned, other monsters attacking the stunned monster do double damage.
The week is running so fast, do make sure to share your battle challenge because I love to read those articles. It gives me the insight of what to do when such a rule is given in battles.

I love this Battle Mage Secrets Weekly Challenge, it makes me conscious of Splinterlands rulesets. I even forgot how 'heavy hitter' works until today when I wanted to Play Splinterlands; and I checked Splinterlands battle mage secrets: I saw players posting their battle experiences in the comments section. I began to read those posts and watch the battles. That was how my knowledge of the heavy hitter rule set came alive.
That was how I started battling for hours.
Heavy hitter ruleset is not new to me; because I don't come across this rule all the time like super Sneak, I forgot how the rule works.
✅✅HOW DOE HEAVY HITTER RULESET WORKS?✅✅
Heavy hitter ruleset without a stun monster won't work. The rule can only work when a monster with stun ability stunned a monster.
Therefore, a monster with stun ability is very crucial to this rule. The moment a particular monster is stunned, other attacks will be doubled.
The battle I am going to share here today does not have a stun monster: This is because I was given 59 mama which is incredibly much; and I had only one stun monster that cost 4 mana. Using this monster simply means that I would have more mana left. That was the reason I preferred to use one of the important monsters in this battle for me, which is Dragon Jumper.
More also, it is a Brawl battle. When I was waiting for the heavy hitter rule to come for hours, I did not get any one. Then, a message popped up that said, "your guild is fighting a Brawl. Have you done your part to help?"
The moment I clicked to arrange my monsters, it was a heavy hitter rule set I was given.
Without wasting time, I arranged my monsters, and won the battle flawlessly.

Three rules were given, they are:
Unprotected: Monsters do not have any armor and do not get any armor from abilities or summoner buffs.
Therefore, using any monsters or summoner that gives armor in this battle is useless. Because the rule has nullified it. Even though you use such a monster or summoner, it won't give any armor.
Earthquake: Non-flying monsters take 2 melee damage at the end of each round. If you look at my lineup, I only used two monsters with Non-flying ability. I knew the first one would have the ability to heal herself and the second would do massive damage to the opponent's summoner before it would be destroyed by an earthquake; then, the rest of my monsters were monsters with flying ability.
Heavy hitters: All monsters have the knockout ability.
Well! There was no stun monster in my lineup which would have made this rule effective.

👾👾MONSTERS ARRANGEMENT👾👾
Nectar Queen
Splinter: Earth
Level: 3⭐⭐⭐
Ability: flying
The major two reasons I selected this monster as the first monster was the flying ability and the health. I knew Nectar Queen would not take 2 damage from Earthquake due to flying ability: also, the monster would not be easily destroyed because of high health. Nectar Queen was one of the monsters with high health in both my lineup and opponent lineup.
Nectar Queen led the battle to victory, if I had used monsters without flying ability or small health in the first position, such a monster would have been eliminated.
Quora Towershead
Splinter: Earth
Level: 1⭐
Ability: Healing and Bloodlust
Just like my opponent, I wanted to chose Katrelba Gibson but I realized that the earthquake rule would damage its health. I knew that even if the Earthquake damage the health of Quora Towershead, it would heal itself back: and that was exactly what happened. If I had chose Katrelba Gibson, it would have been eliminated by earthquake in the second round.
I also considered the bloodlust of this monster; unfortunately, the bloodlust was not activated because she did not destroy a monster in this battle.
Dragon Jumper
Splinter: Dragon
Level: 1⭐
It is understandable that this monster can not be affected by earthquake. The opportunity ability was very important to me to eliminate monsters with lowest health in this battle. After elimination of Mycelic Slipspawn in this battle in round one. In the second round, Dragon Jumper eliminated Goblin Psychic.
The Speed of Dragon Jumper was also incredible which made it attack faster.
Zyvax Vuul
Splinter: Dragon 🐲
Level: 1⭐
Ability: Recharge and Flying
I knew that before my opponents would be Nectal Queen, Quora Towershead, and Dragon Jumper, something would have been done. I knew before Zyvax Vuul would lead the lineup, damage would have been done to opponent monsters.
The recharge ability of Zyvax Vuul was important to me, and the flying ability of Zyvax Vuul would not allow the Earthquake to damage its health.
Sandworm
Splinter: Neutral
Level: 3⭐⭐⭐
Ability: Sneak
The melee attack of the sandworm is so powerful that I can't overlook it. The six melee attack was wonderful and which made me go for it without thinking of the effects of earthquake rule.
Fire Spitter
Splinter: Dragon
Level: 2⭐⭐
Ability: Flying.
Fire Spitter was my favorite monster to place as the last monster. If it was another monster without flying ability, Katrelba Gibson would have eliminated the monster which would have increased the stats of Katrelba Gibson and makes it difficult to eliminate.
⚔️⚔️⚔️BATTLE ROUND⚔️⚔️
Round 1
At a start, Dragon Jumper was the first monster to attack. It attacked Mycelic Slipspawn due to its taunt ability. Without Mycelic Slipspawn, the first monster that Dragon Jumper would have attacked was Goblin Psychic because it was one of the monsters with lowest health in the opponent lineup; and the ability of Dragon Jumper is to attack ! monsters with lowest health.
All my monsters kept attacking Mycelic Slipspawn until it was eliminated, except Nectar Queen. This was because Nectar Queen was the monster that led the lineup and it is impossible for the monster that led the attack to attack monsters in other positions.
Opponent Mycelic Slipspawn could not have a chance to attack because of its lower speed, therefore it was eliminated before the end of first round.
I was very pleased to see Katrelba Gibson missing in the first round. Assuming it hits the target in round one, it would have been a nightmare for me because it would destroy all my monsters from behind. That is the reason using flying ability is good as they evade melee attacks.
I said it earlier that the major reason I love sandworm was the 5 melee attack; Sandworm eliminated Mycelic Slipspawn.
I was also happy to watch Mycelic Infantry missing the target.
By the end of the round, Mycelic Slipspawn was eliminated.
Round 2
At the beginning of round 2, an earthquake damaged the health of monsters with Non-flying ability. We all know that monsters with high speed attack first, then, Dragon Jumper eliminates Goblin Psychic in the beginning of the second round.
Zyvax Vuul eliminated Mycelic Infantry in the second round. The recharge ability made it possible for this monster to damage 3 health in a single attack.
Before the end of round 2, Regal Peryton led the battle and 2 monsters were eliminated in the opponent lineup - Goblin Psychic and Mycelic Infantry.
Round 3
At the beginning of 3rd round, an earthquake damaged and eliminated Katrelba Gibson, this is the beginning of my joy.
Dragon Jumper eliminated Regal Peryton; only Pelacor Mercenary was left in the opponent 's lineup.
There was no chance for Pelacor Mercenary to attack, hence, there was no opponent monsters that attack in the third round.
Therefore, none of my monsters was eliminated in this battle and that makes it a flawless victory.
In conclusion, there was no time for me to use knockout in this battle. Since I understand the knockout rule, I will use it when the opportunity comes.
I love the rule so much based on the battles I have watched.
