Social media challenge armored up double protection using fire element
My today's social media challenge battle pick will be using fire element monster sormmorners, fire element ain't my favourite pick when battling in the arena but some battle ruleset need one to come up with good monster if they aim to win and level up their chest rewards, not every monster here on splinterland is heavily protected with some good shield there are monster who rely on other friendly monsters for protection but in this battle ruleset each playable monster is equipped with some additional armour which makes the battle even more fun.
Little tips for playing this ruleset.
Since we can't totally predict what our opponent will be likely coming up with during a battle we can only counter their strategy by coming up with lineup monster that will stand the test of time during the battle.
For this ruleset Magic attacking monsters are most preferable sormmornering monster best used for armour up ruleset reasons are because magic monsters don't focus on a monster armour but health therefore coming up with collection of magic elements monster one has good chance of winning the battle.
Using shattered armour monster can also boost one's chance of winning in this ruleset since shattered monster completely destroys an opponent lineup tank shield with one strike.
Combine sneak and opportunity monsters since some players will choose to rather come up with all magic attacking monsters with a good set of sneak and opportunity monsters one can easily eliminate all opponent magic attacking monsters.
Combine shield repair monster or shield friendly monsters to give additional shield to all your lineup monster this will increase level of protection.
Below is the battle link on armour up ruleset using fire element against earth element monsters.
Battle detail/ruleset
Armour up battle ruleset gives +2 shield protection to each monster lineup at the beginning of the battle this means there is good level of protection buff added to each monster although for this ruleset there are no restrictions on monster use any monster can be used for this battle ruleset which mean one need to lookout for monster with magic abilities, snipe, opportunity, sneak, resurrection and repair there is little chance of predicting what one will be coming up with in such ruleset which mean splinterlanders most be ready against any counter offensive attack and come up with good defensive tactics.
For this ruleset my opponent as predicted came up with earth element and because of their magic abilities monster while I used fire element since they have some good attacking monsters with some sneak, opportunity and friendly armour the mana cap for this battle 39 giving each player good chance to come up lineup monster of choice.

Battle lineup
LIVING LAVA this monster already have 4 shield with the ruleset being an armour up this will be increased by plus 2 making giving it additional protection against melee attacks it has special ability to reduce melee and range attacks by 50% making it a good choice for tank position it also have good slashing power which can easily be used to eliminate opponent lineup tanks.
FEROX DEFENDER My second lineup monster has plush 6 shield its is used as my second tank because of shield ability being a friendly monster it gives additional plus 2 shield to all my lineup monster it can also attack from first line if my tank is eliminated my FEROX DEFENDER will now defend the rest of my lineup monster with it good shield and as well attack my opponent tank.
TENYII STRIKER Next on my lineup is a sneak attacking monster it can attack my opponent lineup monsters from behind making this a very formidable monster it attacking power is quite good with it speed if my opponent comes up with more magic monsters it can come very handy.
SERPENTINE SPY I'm predicting my opponent move by coming up with an opportunity monster added with sneak they can be very destructive in the battle arena it looks for monster with low health and attack them this will also be used to counter magic spell attacks.
FIRE ELEMENTAL finally a range attacking monster with some special ability it has blast fire ability which affects an opponent tank and second line monster it will be used to increase my chance of winning battle.
IIDRI FYRE a taunt monster which will be used to distract my opponent monsters it has good health which can be used against magic attacks and s good shield which can be used against melee attacking monsters although it doesn't have any attacking abilities it can serve as a distraction.
My strategy
My used strategy for this ruleset was taking advantage by using more shield to enter battle arena with FEROX DEFENDER being a friendly armour distributing monster to all my lineup up monster adding it plus 2 shield to the ruleset plus 2 shield make every monster in my lineup have additional 4 plus shield protection basically this strategy will be used to counter any melee or range attacking monster from the backline my IIDRI FYRE taunt monster will take up 1 or 2 rounds attack before its eliminated this will give my sneak and opportunity monsters to strike hard before my taunt is been eliminated my fire blast monster will assist my tank in inflicting more damage to my opponent tank my second line monster will help out once my first line tank is eliminated.
My strategy will only work for melee, range and magic monster if my opponent comes up with thorns ability monsters all my strategy will be futile, well it turns out my opponent came up with more magic monsters which automatically decides the battle.
Battle arena
Rumble set my lineup gets additional shield my opponent came up with majority of their lineup monster being magic attackers with a healing monster my lineup is short of magic monsters it was fire against earth the battle lasted six round with most of monster on both side almost eliminated from the battle thanks to my strategy which did workout well.
Round 1 since its magic against shield my shield protection are more of less useful in the arena although my opponent tank is a melee monster which is only where my shield will work against for the first round my taunt monster was eliminated as it shield was of no use my sneak monster got hold of one of my opponent backline monster.
Round 2 this round wasn't in my favour as well my tank got eliminated with some few attacks leaving my second line tank to take up the position of a tank my opponent tank is still in good shape at this round.
Round 3 my sneak and opportunity monsters are actually doing most of the work in the battle as they are busy eliminating more of my opponent backline and low health stat monster two more monsters down on my opponent side.
Round 4 Another magic monster eliminated from behind both my sneak and opportunity monster are championing the battle.
Round 5 finally my opponent tank is been eliminated at round 5 with my friendly armour monster also out of the battle arena it's now three against one no where to hide.
Round 6 is a wrap with my sneak, opportunity and fire blast monster reclaiming victory at the end of the battle.
