Splinterlands Memorable Moment | A Fun battle to be had

[cherokee4life]

I got another battle with Earthquake as the battle condition. And I thought to myself..

Me talking to myself in my head:

"You know what cherokee4life? Since you suck at Splinterlands why not just try stuff you normally don't do cause obviously what you normally try to do never works"

So that is exactly what I did and to capture the pure essence of this battle as soon as I joined I stopped and paused it so I could write down each step as I experience it LIVE (well live for me but its after the fact for you all lol).

Battle Requirements/Setup

So it is a 36 Mana battle

Elements allowed are: Water / Life / Death / Dragon

RuleSet: Earthquake

My Team

My entire strategy this game is to purely outlast the opponent. With Earthquake, every nonflying unit takes 2 damage each round starting in round 2. So you either need a lot of healing or health to outlast them or flying units. I decided to go both!

	For my Summoner I went with "Avina Of the Wolf" solely because she let me put 'Heal' on one of my units. Which I ended up putting on Pelacor Conjurer.
	Janni Rebel in spot 1 because she has 7 health and figured she could tank a little but still do some damage as well
	Gargoya Lion in 2nd place because he has FLying and 6 health + 2 Armour
	Honestly only picked him because he was a Gold card and because giving 2 Armour to everyone would benefit from shielding the initial attack or two
	Gorgoya Devil in 4th spot because he has some range attack but also flying and Close Range just in case the first 3 guys die off he can still attack
	Now this guy is only here as my last resort. He has 4 health but has health so will health 1/3 of his health each round. Meaning he should last because he won't take earthquake damage
	And last but not least is Albahoo Forester and he/she was picked because of Return Fire and Gold Card lol

Let the Battle Begin

Normally I would have gone the Death route and had a team very similar to my opponent. And I was hoping this would happen because I wanted to see if my strategy of not falling my normal strategy would pay off or not.

Round 2

By the start I already lost my Janni Rebel which sucks. I was hoping she would last longer than 1 round but whatever.

Now it's time for Earthquake to shake up the battle!

You can see all 5 of their non-flying units took 2 damage and only my Nimbledook took 2 damage. This is what I wanted to happen.

Round 3

It's not looking to good for me at the start of Round 3 if I am being honest.

But that is before Earthquake!

And BOOM great damage to their team and my Nimbledook is out for the count as well.

Round 4

Not looking too good still but here we go.

And earthquake do your worst!

Let's GOOOO, taking our both of their only troops left that can attack and both of my units have flying!! LETS FREAKIN GO BABY!

Round 5

Since all units left have flying earthquake does no damage to us. But that also means my Gargoya Devil with Close Range is just going to widdle down his stupid Riftwing by 2 damage every turn

Round 6

Riftwing is down to 10 health and no way to heal up.

Skip to Round 11

This is it. Riftwing is down to 2 health and my Gargoya Devil will destroy him this round

And with that my new strategy paid off!

If you wanna help another splinterland player do you have any insight in how to strategize around corrosive ward? I don't really understand the effect.

[nozem01]

Hey, sure, well when you attack a unit with corrosive ward with an armored unit, it loses 1 armor every time it attacks, it's not a big deal really.
Armor lost with corrosive ward can't be repaired.

By the way, are you in a guild? I think one of the benefits of being in a guild is that some of your guild mates are more experienced and can guide you, if not there's room in our second guild

[artofkylin]
