Hello to all Splinterlands warriors!
Original Challenge announcement post is here

This is a ruleset I've become quite familiar with. There may be many more aspects of it I still have to learn and understand, but as far as I've understood from its simplest definition and my little experience with the game, in the Explosive Weaponry ruleset, all cards on the battleground have the Blast ability, which causes 50% of the damage of each successful attack to be dealt to the cards surrounding the targeted card.
What I understand from this simple fact is that the higher the initial damage of your cards, the greater your chances of winning the battle. So, in this rule set of battles, I'm especially focused on cards with bigger attacks, and thanks to @bravetofu, currently I have good options for cards with big attacks, and when teamed up with them, I'll rarely lose a battle in this rule set, and I'm going to show you one of those battles today.

For this battle, I built a team with the Water Archon, and as I mentioned above, I focused on choosing cards with bigger attacks, because the bigger the initial attack, the greater its 50% damage. Furthermore, my Archon has granted two ranged attackers +2 ranged attacks, and my small team also includes a card with the Repair ability. Yes, the card I played in place of the tank was a rarity draw I won yesterday. Furthermore, my two ranged attackers have the Slow ability, which reduces the speed of all enemy cards by -2, a benefit I'll see from round one.

This is the battleground just before the start of round two. Almost the entire enemy team was wiped out in a single round without losing a single card. I would recommend this battle for everyone to watch, especially new players like me. Because with the right strategy and some powerful cards, I was able to take full advantage of this ruleset.
The Slow ability prevented the enemy from performing their first attacks, allowing my cards to attack first. And since my cards had good attack power, they also inflicted 50% of the enemy's damage. When you watch this battle, you'll see how one attack from my cards defeated two of the enemy's cards.
I believe that every battle is a kind of opportunity for us to enjoy the game and also learn some different tips and tricks so that we can play better next time. You know what, sometimes when I lose the battle, then I replay the same and I try to find out what went wrong and what good could have done to avoid this Situation on the battleground. I'm hopeful that over a period of time, I will improve my win rate, but this time, whatever it is good for me and I'm happy with it.
As a piece of advice, I'd say that whether your attacks are big and first or not matters more than what element you're battling with. It would also be good if you pay attention to cards with the Deflect ability, because while reading about this ruleset, I found out that cards with the Deflect ability are protected from additional damage caused by this ruleset. The key thing to keep in mind with this ruleset is to make your attacks strong and early. Just like in my battle, your first attacks may weaken the enemy enough to ensure victory. Let's continue to play the game and to enjoy the game at the same time.
