On the battlefield.
I think that in this battle both me and my opponent had the same strategy- we both used a monster with no attack but with high health as a tank and used only magic attack monsters as the rest of our teams. I think that using a lot magic attackers makes sense in battle when monsters lose all abilities. I was not happy after seeing my opponent's line up because it's power seemed quite comparable to my own. But my summoner was better so I still had hope.
We both no longer had our tanks. At this point I could only hope that my mages will survive longer.
Now I was confident in my victory because I still had a lot of monsters and my PHANTOM OF THE ABYSS had enough magic power to one shot each of enemy monsters.
I won but this battle was really close. Well I basically beat another version myself so I guess that counts for something...right?😜
In this battle I won 15.548 Dec and 36 League Rating. My strategy worked fine- My team had a lot of magic power and was able to claim victory.
CORAL WRAITH is a good monster(especially on higher levels) but I rarely find enough space for it in my team. Perhaps I should use it more often.
I would like having some monsters with healing in my team but that was not an option due to battle rules.
I hope that you enjoyed my battle. If you would also like to start playing splinterlands and earning by making posts about your battles or by making art inspired by splinterlands please consider using my referral link:

Also please consider visiting my art gallery. So far it has only one piece that is inspired by splinterlands ( Sea monster). But in the future I might add more works with splinterlands monsters.
Thank you and have a nice day.
