Battle Mage Secrets Weekly Challenge with Going the Distance

Splinterlands on of the best card battle game on hive blockchain. This week BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge is Going the Distance. This challenge is easy and also requires some basic understanding of cards used in battle. In this ruleset only monsters with ranged attacks may be used. Consider including monsters with the Close Range and Return Fire abilities in my lineup. 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 "Lava Launcher" as tank card having 6 health with close range / stun ability with some extra ability like opportunity. This opportunity adds on every friendly monster. In this battle I used one snipe ability card and one double strike ability card. This battle was high mana 40 so I decided to use some strong back line cards. This battle was fire vs fire summoners.

1. All Monsters have the Opportunity ability.

2. Only units with ranged attacks may be used.

As battle was high mana so I decided to use some extra abilities cards and also fill all spots. I decided to use some strong back line cards having opportunity and snipe ability. I used "Lava Launcher" as tank with 4 ranged attack, 6 health and close range / stun ability. On 2nd position I used "Pyrewatch Devil" 2 ranged attack and 4 health with life leech ability. On 3rd position I used "Lava Spider" 2 ranged attack and 4 health with snipe ability. On 4th position I used "Drybone Raider" 2 malee /1 ranged attack and 7 health with double strike ability. On 2nd last position I used Xenith Archer 1 ranged attack and 2 health with opportunity ability. On last position I used Halfling Alchemist 1 ranged attack and 1 health with halving 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.

Lava Launcher

I used Lava Launcher Epic fire Unit as a tank card. This card has 4 ranged attack and 6 health with close range and stun ability. I used this card on tank position in all mana fights as this card is very helpful with stun ability. This card is the best choice for tank card in all mana battles.

Pyrewatch Devil

On 2nd position I used Pyrewatch Devil Rare fire Unit with life leech ability. I always use this card in all mana fights because of its leech abilities and 4 health. This card also have 2 ranged attack.

Lava Spider

On 3rd position I used Lava Spider Common fire Unit. This card has 2 ranged attacks and 4 health with snipe ability. I always used this card as my back line card as this card eliminate enemy ranged attack cards first.

Drybone Raider

On 4th position, I used Drybone Raider Legendary neutral Unit. This card has 2 malee / 1 ranged attack and 7 health but this card's double strike ability is very strong. So hope this card perform well and do maximum damage to enemy tank card monsters.

Xenith Archer

On 2nd last position I used Xenith Archer Rare neutral Unit. This card has 1 ranged attack and 2 health. I always used this card as my back line card as this card has only 2 mana.

Halfling Alchemist

On last position, I used Halfling Alchemist Epic neutral Unit. This card has 1 ranged attack and 1 health but this card's halving ability is very strong. So hope this card perform well and do maximum damage to tank card and enemy monster cards.

So my strategy in this battle was very simple as in this battle I mostly rely on my opportunity and snipe cards. I used "Lava Launcher" as my tank card have close range and stun ability with 4 ranged attack. If my tank card survives some rounds then hope my other cards could eliminate enemy's back line monsters. My snipe and opportunity ability cards are very strong so they can do some damage to enemy back line monsters cards. I think in this battle if my tank card performed well and hoped "Drybone Raider" could do double strike to enemy monsters. 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 8 ranged and 3 malee attack damage to enemy team. This battle lasted for 4 rounds.

In this battle my strategy not worked and I lost this match in 4th round. Our today's battle challenge with "Going the Distance" not successfully completed. In this battle my enemy brought some balance and strong team. My enemy also place his cards intelligently and get maximum advantage in this battle. As my enemy place martyr card at first place so when this card eliminate then his 2nd tank card all stat increased. so this card eliminate my other cards and also stay strong till end. 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.
