🧙‍♀️Hey Battle Mages!

Here's a warm welcome to this week's battle mage secrets and Happy End to Season [EOS], how was your seasonal chest opening? pretty sure it was way better than mine😄. New season already in motion with 13DAYS:23HOURS left, the grinding is on again, Hope the battlefield been kind to you my friend. I wish you a strong fist as you fight your way up to your preferred league💪.

This post is my continuous attempt to explain how I approach the various kinds of Splinterlands battle rulesets. I have so far shared my approach to twenty five (25) Rulesets, here's the last one on TARGET PRACTICE and I have come to introduce you to another.

This is an interesting ruleset with a good number of approach. But, before I tell you all about it, there's few days left, so if you want to know other battle mages secrets and take part by sharing with us yours, simply visit 👉BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge!

Splinterlands seeks to sharpen player skills by allowing us explore various strategies via rulesets. I have tried to study a few cards especially with the newly introduced rulesets, giving one more reasons to know what cards strongly suits them.

Before the start of any battle, each player is shown what ruleset is allowed in battle and it is extremely beneficial to read and strategize accordingly. The secret I will be sharing with you to in this post is the UNPROTECTED

UNPROTECTED RULESET Implies that monsters do not have any armor and do not get armor from Abilities or Summoner Buffs.

With this in mind;

• Players should note that Protect, Piercing, Repair, Rust are useless. Hence, focus on a tank with high HP and Heal.

Not that bad, summoners don't give any buffs/debuffs, so you got to pick self standing monsters with high HP and good enough abilities for the collective whole, yes?. Well worry not because I have the perfect battle to demonstrate this and a possible lineup that works for low-mid mana battles.

RULE SET
STANDARD	MODIFICATIONS TO THE RULES AND MECHANICS
MANA CAPACITY
AVAILABLE ELEMENT	only Fire🔥 and Water🌊 elements allowed

This was a mid mana cap battle with the spotlight ruleset of the week UNPROTECTED in combination with KEEP YOUR DISTANCE and SILENCED SUMMONERS.

📌TIPS TO NOTE ABOUT THESE RULESETS:

UNPROTECTED : Monsters do not have any armor and do not get armor from Abilities or Summoner Buffs. Keep in mind that Protect, Piercing, Repair, Rust are useless, so focus on a tank(s) with high HP and Heal.

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE : Monsters with Melee attack may not be used in battles. make sure to keep no attack or higher HP monsters in the front. Instead keep higher speed Magic monsters with abilities like Flying, Dodge, Blind in the front.

SILENCED SUMMONERS : Summoners do not give any stat buffs or debuffs or grant/use any abilities. Try use a summoner with no abilities or low Mana to preserve mana.

Though I could see some mistakes made by my opponent, still @olopezdeveloper2 came at me with a decent lineup, wouldn't make the mistake by underestimating these cards. I will quickly introduce you to my fantastic Summoner and Monsters.

⚔️ TEAM LINE-UP & REASONS I ENGAGED THEM IN BATTLE ⚔️

---

🔮ALRIC STORMBRINGER (Summoner)

The +1 magic Alric. I like to use a powerful magic attack against my enemy, something that can quickly deplete their health points so that the battle lasts a few rounds but not too long. Unfortunately the ruleset doesn't permit this summoner to offer any stats buff or debuff or grant/use any abilities.

---

---

ALMO CAMBIO - Frontline offense

As the frontline of offense monster, ALMO CAMBIO's capabilities shine bright. A non attacker in front with a good HP tank.

---

---

CORNEALUS - The Offense Ranger

Comes the second tank, a distraction strategically placed for damage. A range attacker with self Heal and Return fire.

---

---

CRUSTACEAN KING - The Healer

A powerful monster and range attacker with Protect & Tank heal.

---

---

ALBATROSS - The Healer

Cunning and deadly, ALBATROSS is a non-attacker with Tank heal and Fly ability t rain destruction on non-flying monsters.

---

---

MERDAALI GUARDIAN - The Healerr

Next on the team is the powerful MERDAALI. A non-attacker with Tank heal as well as to Repair team monster shield that's taken the most damage.

---

---

ANGELIC MANDARIN - The Triage Master

A master at dealing decent damage to the opponent from behind. A range attacker with Triage boosting team's fortification and Silence to weaken enemies magic.

---

---

Players should focus on a tank with high HP and Heal.

✅ This is why I have placed ALMO CAMBIO in first position as he serves perfectly. He is a non-attacker.

✅ Because the Ruleset also took away all their defense, I decided to Triple my Tank Healers, having CRUSTACEAN KING, ALBATROSS and MERDAALI GUARDIAN.

✅ Also, should ALMO CAMBIO get annihilated depending on my opponents lineup, then I have set CORNEALUS to take over and deal damage using it's return fire and Thorns.

---

Without further ado, let us now enter the battleground and see if my lineup works or not.

• The Enemy came at me with the Life element, ENEMY SUMMONER - BORTUS as Summoner. ENEMY-PRISMATIC ENERGY in first position, ENEMY-ALBATROSS in second position, ENEMY-RIVER NYMPH in third position, ENEMY-RULER OF THE SEAS in fourth position, ENEMY-CRUSTACEAN KING and finally ENEMY-NAGA WINDMASTER in last position. My enemy came at me with great set of cards, so Let's see what happened.
