The best advice is to use your lowest cost and highest level summoner within this ruleset. *** # The upcoming Battle ruleset ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23tbML8ysKnNF1TBRm3w1ZYXz1Mpp9XpLAg7BEgXUeHutvVxMZgGQJb88rCa6vfvrDyZ4.png) |Ruleset|Description| |-|-| |Silenced Summoners|*Summoners do not give any stat buffs or debuffs or grant/use any abilities.*| |Keep Your Distance|*Monsters with Melee attack may not be used in battles.*| ||| The mana cap for my next battle was 31, which is not that much I like to see, but it is still enough to build a medium mana based team. The **Summoners** will have no abilities, so it is important to choose a low mana cost summoner to save some mana picking up more or better monsters. The **Keep Your Distance** ruleset is a tricky one, because it will not allow to use any **melee** attack monsters on either side, so it is important to choose a strong tank to allow time for the squishy backline to do their job. 😁 *** ![diablo_divider_non_fig2.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23ydETjEUkUbakymwtuBYfEFDguAv4efJtDtJsaBfUtS9DQC7HfZ3JWYhUPqn12UQR6d6.png) # My lineup ||| |-|-| |![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23tm96fMYvBhng2u1HrkHjuZHPSLB1qJSHoFoQDkdV8kAnY2pR3itDnYtbrh8UShRYwb2.png)|**Quix the Devious** is quite useless in this battle, because of the **Silenced Summoners** ruleset, but at least he cost only 4 mana, which is nice and I am able to use the **Dragon** cards as well if I will find any usable. 😆| |**Baakjira** is an excellent tank in this rulesets, because he doesn't have any attack, so he is usable in the **Keep Your Distance** ruleset and he has a lot of **health** compared to his 6 mana cost. He is very good against the **magic** attack monsters, because he has the **Void** ability. 😉|![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23u5XFwCRQy34wNyacNVnXvbYQfRJk5ymjjwKk7DKKjjDD4iecgoiddDiC6TDFecKE5ZX.png)| |![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23wWkXPevGeT25pzTaNXUpKbvVsp7dRGv1F2SW5pJjZh7R92DAkj9cy689rz2PnwvQud7.png)|The **Djinn Oshannus** is another amazing tank, because he has 12 **health** to sustain as much damage as possible and he also has +2 **magic** attack as well with high **speed** and his **Phase** ability to try to dodge some incoming **ranged and melee** attacks. 😊| |**Kra'ar Xoc** is a new reward card and I used him, because he cost only one and got the **Scavenger** ability, which means that he will gain one **health** when a monster dies on the battlefield. 😇 |![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23vsJMoicUgnzMU6jWZDDM1YTcTByXNafprW1aAJfW86pjB3n9q2u1xFFCEZKMLy4EwDX.png)| |![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23xAMYCL7pEW1hEFKhSc5zShrYnR4m2pV5UCDYERLv6CqCwNRFemgRPK66bsmSW2y1MC8.png)|I used the *Merdaali Guardian** to support my big **health** tanks in the front position, because without any **Sneak** attack monsters she is quite safe in the fourth position in my bacline. 🤗| |The **Axemaster** is my main **ranged** damage dealer, because he has +3 **ranged** attack on its own and it is even boosted further with his **Double Strike** ability, which will enable this monster to attack twice in every round. 😁|![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23tm72gVDYYRgD7yDjTYsSTJRegQUq1utoocduyRgADSF38ad45db2RX8fLZozM2HgT2P.png)| |![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23uEwqAQ9juNr5PHaRHgDx6wAmwZYbLvDvpPCx4aGhpctaxPkZy4aakq6j3mAxxTJSf7v.png)|**Igor Darkspear** cost only two mana, so he is an easy fit into any low or middle mana cap battle. Unfortunately he doesn't have any ability on his Level 3, but the +2 **ranged** attack damage is more than enough to compensate that. 😜| ![diablo_divider_no3_dragon_top.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23wC9nLh8BwvULBnyuVNTXtGx5LEdKNidb2TzQgvGMasQskzUyaoc29MCZWJxLF7L9sXo.png) # The Battle [![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23tvAVXboLAfvZYjCz64viufNE4GJWYPAboLFjsterUTZNWppHLBbJRVATNTqrrfmLnHC.png) ](https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sl_39873f0846405a70bd487a47ac14ed62) *Please click on the picture if you want to see the replay of the battle.* ![26uUsAjKTsXCDw7zixZR182JbFKvgzJ9YwsFpTVcRaGCmsqhA1unTgpqrAP9TBG3ngbmQff8XmGHioYU3At33cTpyHohG4z2ZWA19cNAtQpXz8JTL2Eth5Vxc1U3ozJdzUmyRRsLcmFgYoQ2JHa18eEtgZCjy2QR4hqU22 (1).png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23zRpcQqrj857J3tre7d4Eowxbnjn577W2sWSAuwDCVkV1zrtJjjifksdH99AsY595zX8.png) In this battle my opponent picked **Kelya** who also cost 4 mana like my **Quix**, but he can only choose his monsters from the **Water** Splinter. My team was very lucky in the first round, because they managed to hit my opponent **Djinn Oshannus** and damaged him down. Their healer also gave him some **health** back, but in the second round my team finished him off. 😊 In the third round my opponent lost two of his squishy supports and my **Baakjira** got very close to die, but he was still alive with only 2 **health** left. The fourth round was the last of my opponent, because they didn't have any more big **health** monsters to withstand my attacks and my team finally managed to secure the win for me. 😇 ![26uUsAjKTsXCDw7zixZR182JbFKvgzJ9YwsFpTVcRaGCmsqhA1unTgpqrAP9TBG3ngbmQff8XmGHioYU3At33cTpyHohG4z2ZWA19cNAtQpXz8JTL2Eth5Vxc1U3ozJdzUmyRRsLcmFgYoQ2JHa18eEtgZCjy2QR4hqU22 (1).png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23zRpcQqrj857J3tre7d4Eowxbnjn577W2sWSAuwDCVkV1zrtJjjifksdH99AsY595zX8.png) # Battle Result ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23tkk8GqD2ZV9vCXW83z9uDjTSADtAu5kycwAQPJ9yCZe4HpPUy4jswyL1cBP8AwxBorg.png) # Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time? My strategy was to bring huge **health** into my front two position and use high damage output monsters at my back, because without the **Sneak** monsters they were pretty safe there. Even thought my opponent would choose to bring **Snipe** monsters my **Djinn Oshannus** would be able to hold that fire for quite some time. 😊 ![diablo_divider_no3_dragon_bottom.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lorddiablo/23vhying5i84gUed2okDaPLzgsf9K8XeNMHWeo4VwE51e9czR99RqbsQyCSqnXVpFcm6o.png) I like to help new players 😉, so if you are just starting this game and you can use my referral link to sign-up, write me a message on Discord (LordDiablooo#3750), so I will send you 100 DEC and few key cards (delegated for an entire season) to kick off your career in Splinterlands. 😊 *** If you would like to use some of my dividers I have created for your blog feel free to use them following this [link](https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@lorddiablo/free-blog-dividers-to-the-splinterlands-community). 😉 *** Thank you so much 🙏 that you took the time to read my Weekly Battle Challenge.
