Splinterlands Battle Of The Week: from a Frown to a Crown

The Ruleset

• Rulesets - Reverse Speed, Maneuvers & Four's a Crowd
• Mana Cap - 57
• Active Elements -

Here's my starting lineup

Summoner: Immortalis

• With the ruleset and element pick that I got I felt my best possible team was going to be a earth one
• So in my case I went with Immortalis as he is one of the best summoners in my opinion

1st Position: Mycelic Infantry

• Mycelic Infantry was one of my main tanks for this battle
• Main reason I like Mycelic Infantry here a lot is his Shield ability
• Shield - 50% less damage (rounded up) from physical attacks or 0 damage from physical attacks of 1 power

2nd Position: Quora Towershead

• As this battle was a brawl I could play Quora Towershead without needing Conscript or Are You Not Entertained?
• Quora Towershead is definitely my favorite and most played Gladiator cards so far
• Bloodlust - +1 to all stats after dealing a killing blow
• Heal - Each round, restores 1/3 of max health (rounded down)
• Immunity - Provides immunity to magic debuffs and Cripple

3rd Position: Goblin Psychic

• Goblin Psychic was my healer for this battle
• Even tho you do not get a lot of stats for 6 mana in my opinion you do get both Tank Heal and Affliction which i really like as one buffs my team and other debuffs enemy team
• Tank Heal - Each round, restores 1/3 of max health (rounded down) to the allied unit in the first position
• Affliction - 50% chance to apply Afflicted after a successful attack. Afflicted units cannot be healed

4th Position: Mycelic Slipspawn

• Last but not least is Mycelic Slipspawn my backline tank for this battle
• His entire idea was to tank backline as long as possible
• Also because he had Taunt I was hoping he could block enough hits that I out heal my enemies damage to my Mycelic Infantry and that way I get an head start in the frontline
• Taunt - Draws the attacks of enemy units. Does not affect Reach, Scattershot, Wingbreak, or enemy units in the first position
• Forcefield - Attacks dealing 5 base damage or more instead deal 1 damage

Starting board

• After I saw the starting board I was almost 100% sure this battle was unwinnable
• My enemy had four level 3 legendaries and an summoner who countered almost my entire team that incase I should miss because of the Phase
• But I also manage to counter my enemy with my summoner team layout
• My predictions could still be off by a mile so lets start the battle and have a look

Here's how the battle went

1st Round

• After first round even tho the board looked the same his Harklaw was only on 2 hp and I had only lost 3 armor on my Mycelic Infantry
• My backline had lost 4 hp which meant he still had two more rounds in him to tank
• At this point my mood changed as it started looking quite promising

2nd Round

• 2nd Round was super huge for me as I managed to take down both of my enemies melee monsters in a single round
• Also my Quora Towershead got a single take down so now she was even stronger
• This was the point when I realized I had won this stupidly hard battle extremely easily somehow

3rd Round

• 3rd Round was not the greatest but that did not matter as my enemy could only do 3 damage and I heal 3 hp which meant there was no way for me to lose
• If my calculation were right and I managed to not miss the battle should be over after the next round

4th & 5th Round

• My calculations were right but I did managed to miss a single attack so the battle ended after 5th Round
• After his last standing monsters had fallen I took the victory
• Battle Replay Link

Summary

• This battle was incredibly easy compared to the incredible starting board that my enemy had
• The tip to take away from this battle has to be the art how proper teambuilding could easily beat teams level difference
