What is Splinterlands?
Splinterlands is a Play2Earn game, where you can play battle against other players to get a better rank or in tournaments. It is a NFT game based on Hive Blockchain, with multiple ways to capitalise and make money, real money, by playing it or trading in it. You can start earning as soon as you buy a Spellbook ($10) getting SPS tokens and NFT monster cards via daily quests and season quests (every 2 weeks). Sometimes you may even win a 5 cards packs with your rewards. You can also get rewards from staking the SPS you got from rewards, or by owning a node licence (4 Vouchers and 22 SPS daily this week), or from owning Nightmare packs (the Tower Defence game) or Land NFTs. Bonus, if you stake SPS, until October 2023, for a whole year, you will receive daily GLS tokens airdropped to use on the Genesis League game, which can be also staked now for extra rewards.
Right now you can still buy NFT packs from Chaos Legion and Riftwatchers collections. An awesome hint from a really good player (not me), if you open your packs after the Legendary summoners are introduced, you have a small chance to get them from the packs. There is also a bulk pack buy on splinter.fi, where you can get CL with 2700 DEC per pack.
The River Nymph is a protector of the river, using Cleanse at level 1 to deal with Poison, Reflect at level 4 (great combo with the Sea Monster level 6 or more, as its Thorns are greatly improved) and Swiftness (do not use on Reverse Speed ruleset to put yourself at disadvantage). At max level 8, this Rare Water Splinter unit has 2 Magic damage, 3 Speed and 4 Health. Combined with Alric as summoner will do 3 Magic damage.

So, for the challenge, this were the starting conditions:
Mana Limit: 46
Rulesets: Super Sneak (all cards has Sneak) and Stampede (Trample is activated again and again when the tank dies)
Teams:
Mine - Summoner: Alric, boosting Magic by +1, with The Kraken as main tank, with Taunt, backed up by Djinn Oshanus with Void ability to reduce Magic damage, Merdaali Guardian to heal the tank, Rules of the Seas with Blast, hiting multiple targets, River Nymph with Cleanse against eventual Poisoners and Torhilo the Frozen last, to defend from Sneak attacks. A full Magic combo.
Opponent - Summoner: Kelya Frendul as summoner, boosting Speed and Armor by +1, DiemonShark with Trample, boosted by the ruleset, Djinn Oshanus with Void, reducing Magic damage, Naga Windmaster reducing all Ranged attacks by -1 (I had none), Venari Wavesmith with Protect, boosting Armor by +2, Axemaster with Double Strike, hiting twice, and Frozen Soldier with Shield, defending against Sneak attacks. A decent defence agaisnt Melee and Ranged, luckily for me, I chose Magic.
Round 1 - My mages killed the opponent tank, the Diemonshark.
Round 2 - My tank was destroyed. No other loses. That Ranged double strike is heartbreaking.
Round 3 - After repeated attacks and Blast use, I managed to kill both Oshanus and the Windmaster.
Round 3 - Somehow my Oshanus got full health, while I took out another two monsters, the Wavesmith and the Axemaster.
Round 4 - The Frozen Soldier was eliminated. Victory is mine!
Star of the game - The Merdaali Guardian, keeping the tank alive long enough for me to win the round.
All the best,
George
