Hello everyone, how are you feeling today? Playing splinterlands these days is not that easy. I lost so many games this season, I don't know maybe is due to my network. Yesterday, my battles was pending till the time exceeded, I kept on losing battles without playing it.
We are anticipating the launching of SPS. When I saw the comment section in the blog, players were happy about it. @starbork said, "I'm so excited and impressed with the level of thought and planning that splinterlands put into this. This is going to take splinterlands, in general to New level". Splinterlands team made a lot of effort and planning to make this happen. I am very happy with this new development of splinterlands. This is going to make people troop into the splinterlands. A friend of mine told me that he saw SPS in pancake swap, he told me that he want to register the game so that he will become player. Therefore, launching SPS will bring positive change to the game at large.
• The first day I used Beatrix Ironhand monster, it fucked me up because beatrix missed the target throughout. There was no single target recorded for this monster, and I did not use this monster for a while because of that. One day, I used this monster and it was the monster that made me to won the battle and since then, I kept on using it.
Beatrix Ironhand is an Earth monster's with so many good characteristics. Bellow are the reasons I used Beatrix Ironhand in battles:
Speed: Beatrice have a good speed of 4 and this allows it to attack faster than any monster that its speed is below 4. Beatrice is one of the Earth monsters with the highest speed I have. It is very useful for me in battles, especially battles with 'no rule' of reverse speed. Most times when I use this monster, it is the monster that will attack first in my lineup. The ability to attack faster made me to fall in love with it.
• Range Attack prowess: Range Attack of three is quite good.
RULE OF THE BATTLE
Silenced Summoners: Summoners do not give any stat buffs or debuffs or grant /use any ability. Even Stevens: only monster with even Mana costs may be used in the battles.
I was paired with @RUS27-BOT in this battle. Click here to watch the battle.
BATTLE ARRANGEMENTS
• Golem Flesh: In this battle, I did not select flesh golem because of speed or melee attack. I selected it to keep on restoring its health each round so that it can stay in the first position till the end of the battle. Though, it attacked well but my major priority is that, I don't want the monster in 1st position to be eliminated. I knew, the moment flesh golem is eliminated, Spirit Shaman will not be able to lead the battle to glory because of its health. It is evident in round 1 that when flesh golem was attacked, its health was seriously damaged to 4. when it was golem turn to attack, it gained more additional 3 health that brought its total to 7. At round 2, its health was cut short to 3 but the healing ability brought it back to 6. At round 3, because many opponent monsters have been killed, the health got back to 7. At round 4, flesh golem's health got back to 9. This ability of restoring its health makes me to used it. You can see that, flesh golem was not eliminated throughout the battle.
• Spirit Shaman: I understood that the first monster of my opponent wouldl be strong monster with good melee. I introduce spirit shaman to stun it. Introduction of spirit shaman made it possible for golem to stay throughout the battle. If shaman wasn't in the lineup by the time its health was 5, it would have been destroyed by Unicorn Mustang and Spirit Miner. It would never get to its turn where it would restored certain portion of health; which would have forced spirit shaman to lead the battle. Spirit Shaman does not have what it takes to lead, it would have been destroyed also, and I would have being defeated. Spirit shaman does not have any effect on unicorn mustang's health because of the 'void ability' that reduced damage from magic attack.
• Goblin Thief: this battle shows how important sneaky monsters are in the battles. This is the reasons, I used sneaky monsters in my battles. If there was no goblin Thief in this lineup, mustang would not die, because it would keep increasing mustang's health. At level 1, goblin thief eliminated khmer princess. At level 2, its eliminated wood nymph. At level 4, it also contributed to the downfall of spirit miner.
• Beatrix Ironhand: The reason I love Beatrix Ironhand reflected so much in this battle. Beatrix was the second monster to attack in this battle after spirit shaman. At level 3, it was Beatrix that eliminated mustang from the battle. An attack from beatrix damaged 3 health from mustang, this shows how unique this monster is. Beatrix is placed in 4th position because it can not fight in the first position.
•Furious Chicken: I was more strategic. My intention was that, my opponent might used sneaky monster; furious chicken was there to delayed attack. with the furious chicken as the last monster, It would have taken 2nd round to attack beatrix.
At the end of the battle, none of my monsters were eliminated and I was crowned as the winner.
I am a big fan of beatrix, it is one of the Earth monster I used frequently, and I will continue using it in different positions except in the first position.

I never know beatrix can start battles. Three times now, beatrix led the battle into victory
I also didn't notice the "Close Range" at first.
Hero of Beyond from the Life splinter has the same ability.
