Splinterlands | Weak Magic Challenge

in Splinterlands5 months ago

There are only a handful of game rules left in the Share Your Battle Challenge which now also is called 'Battle Mage Secrets" in Splinterlands. This is the Up To Weak Magic Rule where magic doesn't bypass armor.


Magic is by far the most powerful attack given that it both bypasses armor and it never misses (unless the opponent has the phase ability). Even then there is a game rule where armor gets hit first by Magic, it is still worth playing Magic mosters since the deck of the opponent is less likely to have magic counters and more likely to have counters to Melee or Ranged. So this game rule in a way doesn't change that match aside from the fact that you can be sure that the opponent is going to play a lot of armor.


The other 2 game rules for the battle were that all monsters get blast and also Devine shield.


With 25 mana to spent, I still opted for the Astral Entity Legendary Summoner mainly to get 1 rebirth and make it so that the opponent had more chance to miss. As nearly always with the Death Splinter, the Nightmare was my primary tank even though it already had Blast and could not benefit from that. Wit the high speed I hoped there would be at least a couple of misses which would help a ton avoiding blast damage. In 2nd place the Cursed Slimeball which just costs 1 mana was there to take some blast damage and destroy all divine shields on the opponent quite early on with the redemption ability. The Runi has blast protect and hits the lowest health monsters increasing the chance to do 3x damage with the blast. I still love the Shadow Prescense card which has quite some health and gives 1+ health to all other monsters helping to keep those alive. For 3 Mana cost I alo added a 4 damage ranged monster with the Soul Strangler which I rarely ever use. in last place I put the Furious Chicken in case the opponet would have sneak attack.

The Dodge ability from my supponer and the Opportunity ability of the Runi which could not miss hitting 3x blast damage really made all the difference in this match.
