BATTLE MAGE SECRETS ✶ SHADES OF GRAY ✶ SECOND GO

The ruleset for this week's challenge

• Shades of Gray - Only Neutral Units may be used in battles

The ruleset that I managed to get

• Rulesets - Shades of Gray, Heavy Hitters & Aim True
• Mana Cap - 23
• Active Elements -

Here's my starting lineup

Summoner: Kelya Frendul

• With the ruleset and element pick that I got the thought the best possible summoner I could go with is Kelya Frendul
• I picked him because he has some amazing stats and also because I felt like my enemy would not play any magic monsters with this type of low mana cap battle so the +1 armor should be huge for my team

1st Position: Disintegrator

• Disintegrator was my main tank for this battle
• Main reason I like Disintegrator here a lot is his Demoralize ability
• Demoralize - Reduces the Melee attack of all enemy Units by 1
• Trample - When a Unit with Trample hits and kills its target with a Melee attack, it will perform another Melee attack on the next Unit on the enemy Team

2nd Position: Furious Chicken

• Nothing really to say here other than why not play him he costs 0 mana when you have room for him of course

3rd Position: Uraeus

• Love this card so much because of how many stats you get for low mana
• For 3 mana you get 2 melee damage (with Sneak), 3 speed, 1 armor and 3 hp
• Sneak - Targets the last unit on the enemy Team instead of the first unit

4th Position: Parasitic Growth

• Next up in line is another backline hitter monster
• Even tho you don't get as much of stats as you get with Uraeus, Parasitic Growth is still strong enough to earn a spot in my team
• Opportunity - Units with the Opportunity ability may attack from any position and will target the enemy Unit with the lowest health

5th Position: Magi Sphinx

• And for last but not least is Magi Sphinx
• The idea for him was to basically be my only magic monster so my enemy could not play someone with low hp and really high armor
• Also she was like a backline tank for my backline hitters so they could to more damage than my enemy if he decided to got with a team like my own

Starting board

• The starting board did not really say anything other than my summoner pick was definitely a right call
• But all my efforts to take down his backline fast was totally missed as my enemy played full front up team comp
• But anything could still happen so lets start the battle and have a look

Here's how the battle went

1st Round

• After 1st Round my confidence was slowly fading away
• I was taking down his backline to slowly and his frontline was giving some big hits
• Next round I was going to lose my tank and also my Demoralize ability with him

2nd Round

• After 2nd Round my board was looking quite sad already and sadly I did not have any hopes left for winning as he needed to miss to many attack in a row
• If I somehow managed to survive round 3 I was definitely done in the 4th Round
• But anything could still happen so lets keep watching

3rd Round

• 3rd Round was also a total disaster for me
• I just did not have enough damage left to take down is frontline
• Now I just needed to wait for the start of round 4 and face a Loss

4th Round

• It took him 1 turn to to take down my last standing monster
• After my Parasitic Growth had fallen I took the loss
• Battle Replay Link

Summary

• This battle was definitely far from victory
• I believe the battle came down to me playing only backline attacking comp and my enemy playing strong frontline attacking + no damage, high hp backline which my comp could not get through in time
• If you also would like to hop on the Splinterlands train feel free to use my Referral
