https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sm_qbRovtA8Xzkdp6zeyX18

Fog of War will reduce the chance of targeting monsters in the middle and backline. The only monster with Opportunity Ability can perform sabotage inside the enemy team.
Reverse Speed can make the lineup become entirely different from the normal battle since most of the high-speed monsters shouldn't be used in the battle;higher chance to miss the attack and attack slowly.

Line up:

Delwyn Dragonscale LV 4

Edition: PROMO
Rarity: COMMON
Element: DRAGON
ABILITIES: All friendly monsters gain an extra 1 magic attack.
Delwyn Dragonscale was chosen in this battle since I would like to play a magic Earth splinter monster team. Delwyn Dragonscale will provide extra magic damage for the rest of the team.

Elven Defender LV 3

Edition: UNTAMED
Rarity: COMMON
Element: NEUTRAL
ATTACK: MELEE
ABILITIES: Shield at level 5; Knock out at level 10

Elven Defender was picked as the first tanker due to his high armor and health. With his high health, he can endure most of the damage from the enemy team. Moreover, Wood Nymph's Tank Heal Ability will prolong his life for a while.

Elven Defender comes with 2⚔️ 2🐌 4⚙️ 9❤️

Centauri Mage LV 2

Edition: REWARD
Rarity: RARE
Element: EARTH
ATTACK: MAGIC
ABILITIES: Return Fire at level 1; Repair at level 5

Here comes our monster of the day, Centauri Mage was chosen as a second tanker. Centauri Mage is a great tanker due to her high health Return Fire Ability. Return Fire Ability provides a direct benefit to the team when encountering an enemy with Snipe Ability.

Centauri Mage comes with 1⚔️ 3🐌 0⚙️ 10❤️

Mushroom Seer LV 1

Edition: REWARD
Rarity: RARE
Element: EARTH
ATTACK: MAGIC
ABILITIES: Silence at level 1; Poison at level 5

In order to make sure that our tanker can survive for a long period, some monster with debuff Ability must be put in. Mushroom Seer was chosen in this battle due to its Silence Ability. Mushroom Seer was put somewhere in the middle of the team. One huge weakest of Mushroom Seer is its low health, it can be easily targeted by monsters with Opportunity Ability.

Mushroom Seer comes with 2⚔️ 1🐌 0⚙️ 3❤️

Serpentine Mystic LV 3

Edition: REWARD
Rarity: RARE
Element: DRAGON
ATTACK: MAGIC
ABILITIES: Affliction at level 1; Slow at level 5

In order to make sure that the enemy tanker will be killed a short time, some monster with Affliction Ability must be put in to cut lose a chance from any Healing Ability. Serpentine Mystic was chosen in this battle due to its Affliction Ability. Serpentine Mystic was put somewhere in the middle of the team.

Serpentine Mystic comes with 1⚔️2🐌 0⚙️ 4❤️

Wood Nymph LV 3

Edition: REWARD
Rarity: COMMON
Element: EARTH
ATTACK: MAGIC
ABILITIES: Tank Heal at level 1; Strengthen at level 6

In order to make sure that our tanker will stay until the end of the battle, some monster with Tank Heal Ability must be put in. Wood Nymph was chosen in this battle due to its Tank Heal Ability. Wood Nymph was put almost in the last position of the team to ensure its survival until the end of the battle.

Wood Nymph comes with 1⚔️ 2🐌 0⚙️ 3❤️

Sand Worm LV 3

Edition: REWARD
Rarity: COMMON
Element: NEUTRAL
ATTACK: MELEE
ABILITIES: Sneak at level 1; Snare at level 6; Piercing at level 10

Sand Worm was chosen as the last line of defense for the team from its high health. Its high damage combing with its Sneak ABility will break a backline of the enemy pretty fast. Unfortunately, I forgot about Fog of War Rule, therefore I just wasted 9 mana for free haha.

Sand Worm comes with 5⚔️ 2🐌 0⚙️ 6❤️

Battle

ROUND 1

The opponent team chose the EARTH splinter with Mylor Crowling summoner along with Nectar Queen, Prismatic Energy, Sand Worm, Sporcerer, Wood Nymph, and Onyx Sentinel.
From my wrong decision to choose Sand Worm in this battle, the enemy team also made the same mistake haha. The enemy team used Onyx Sentinel as the last line of defense of the team; he must forget about Fog of War Rule as well, haha.

Mushroom Seer reduced the magic attack of the enemy team from its Silence Ability. At the end of the first round, Centauri Mage took down the enemy tanker; Nectar Queen.

ROUND 2

At the end of round 2, Wood Nymph took down Prismatic Energy while the rest of the team still survive; most of the magic attackers suffered some minor damage from Magic Reflect Ability.

ROUND 3

At the beginning of round 3, the enemy Sand Worm caused massive damage to Eleven Defender and was followed by an attack from Wood Nymph which took down Eleven Defender. Then, Serpentine Mystic took down the enemy Sand Worm.

ROUND 4

Mushroom Seer took down Sporcerer. Then, Serpentine Mystic took down the enemy Wood Nymph. Only Onyx Sentinel was left on the enemy battlefield.

ROUND 5

Here comes the final round, Mushroom Seer took a final blow on Onyx Sentinel and secured the victory for the rest of the team.

Great on Team, nicely done!!!!

Questions and Answers:

1. Did my strategy work?

My strategy worked really great as planned. Elven Defender did a great job as a tanker, it took every incoming attack from the enemy team and stood almost until the end of the battle. Centauri Mage hadn't got a chance to perform her Ability, since there was no Range monster on the enemy team. Mushroom Seer reduced some magic damage of the enemy team. Serpentine Mystic was perfectly chosen in this battle to block the Tank Heal Ability of the enemy Wood Nymph. Wood Nymph did her job pretty good on healing our first tanker, without her Eleven Defender would have died pretty fast. Sand Worm was the only mistake in this battle, but luckily that the enemy also forget about Fog of War Rule as well.

2. What will you try differently next time?

For next time, I might consider using a tanker with Healing Ability like Fresh Golem. Monster with self-heal Ability combing with Tank Heal Ability from friendly monster can make our tanker become immortal until the end of the battle. Moreover, next time I will carefully concentrate on the Rule of each battle.

3. Do you like the CENTAURI MAGE? Why or why not?

YES, I like CENTAURI MAGE. CENTAURI MAGE is always my favorites choice for a second tanker when playing melee monster Earth splinter. CENTAURI MAGE comes with high heath and useful Return Fire Ability. It can act as a great second tanker to absorb range and magic damage from Snipe Ability and is ready to return some damage to the attacker. The higher level CENTAURI MAGE comes with a higher attack and speed. Moreover, LV5 CENTAURI MAGE comes with a Repair Ability which can be very useful for the team.
