Battle Mage Secrets Weekly Challenge with Holy Protection

Splinterlands one of the best card battle game on hive blockchain. This week BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge is Holy Protection. This challenge is easy and also requires some basic understanding of cards used in battle. In this ruleset all units gain the Divine Shield ability which reduces the damage of the first attack received to 0. Divine Shield will be re-applied when a unit is Resurrected. Blast damage will remove divine shield. As in this battle Monsters with Ranged attack are very helpful so I decided to use some ranged attack monsters with high health. In this battle used "Diemonshark" as tank card having 8 health with trample / enrage ability with one extra ability like Holy Protection. This ability adds on every friendly monster. In this battle I used one magic reflect ability card and one opportunity and repair ability card. This battle was high mana 53 so I decided to use some strong back line cards. This battle was water vs dragon summoners.

1. Only Common and Rare Monsters may be used in battles.

2. All Monsters have the Divine Shield ability.

As battle was high mana so I decided to use some extra ability cards and also try to fill all spots. I decided to use some strong back line cards having opportunity and repair ability. I used "Diemonshark" as tank with 3 malee attack, 6 shields and 8 health with trample / enrage ability. On 2nd position I used "Prismatic Energy" two magic attack and 10 health with magic reflect and void ability. On 3rd position I used "Venari Wavesmith" two magic attack and 4 health with protect ability. On 4th position I used "Angelic Mandarin" two ranged attack and 6 health with triage ability. On 2nd last position I used Deeplurker 4 malee attack and 7 health with opportunity ability. On last position I used Swamp Spitter 2 ranged attack and 5 health with repair ability. I am very happy with my team and if my tank card survives then my other cards will destroy the enemy team monsters. Let’s discuss my team one by one.

Diemonshark

I used Diemonshark Rare water Unit as a tank card. This card has 3 malee attack, 6 shields and 8 health with trample and enrage ability. I used this card on tank position in high mana fight as this card is very helpful with trample ability and 6 shiled. This card is the best choice for tank card in high mana battles.

Prismatic Energy

On 2nd position I used Prismatic Energy Rare neutral Unit with magic reflect and void ability. I always use this card in all mana fights because of its magic reflect ability and 10 health. Hope this card could reflect enemy's magic attack on every turn.

Venari Wavesmith

On 3rd position I used Venari Wavesmith Rare water Unit. This card has two magic attack and 4 health with protect ability so all friendly monsters get 2 extra armors.

Angelic Mandarin

On 4th position, I used Angelic Mandarin Rare water Unit. This card has 2 ranged attack and 6 health but this card's triage ability is very strong. So this card heal backline monster cards on every turn.

Deeplurker

On 2nd last position I used Deeplurker Common water Unit. This card has 4 malee attack and 7 health with opportunity ability. I always used this card as my back line card so this card eliminate enemy's weaker card first.

Swamp Spitter

On last position, I used Swamp Spitter Common water Unit. This card has 2 ranged attack, one shield and 5 health but this card's repair ability is very strong. So hope this card repair my tank card shield on every turn.

So my strategy in this battle was very simple as in this battle I mostly rely on my opportunity and repair cards. I used "Diemonshark" as my tank card with 6 shield so this card waste enemy's few attacks. If my tank card survives some rounds then hope my other cards could eliminate enemy's back line monsters. My repair and opportunity ability cards are very strong so they can do some damage to enemy back line monsters cards and also repair my tank card shield. I think in this battle my repair card performed well and hoped "Swamp Spitter" could repair my tank card shield on every turn. Also hoped that my cards could not miss any attack and did proper damage to enemy back line monsters. Overall my entire back line cards did 5 ranged, 4 magic and 4 malee attack damage to enemy team. This battle lasted for 5 rounds.

My strategy failed in this battle although my all cards performed well. Our today's battle challenge with "Holy Protection" not completed successfully. In this battle my enemy also brought a water team with dragon Summoner. So my enemy had a better option to chose cards and also arrange a strong lineup with better card placement. I liked this new change of weekly battle challenge from monsters to ruleset, so we can learn some new methods how to tackle enemy in any specific ruleset. You can watch this battle on My Battle link. Hope you will like this Battle Challenge and I would love to hear your thoughts on my battle lineup in my post comments. Thanks
