Namaste to all the Warriors of Splinterlands!🙏

In this week's 🌟Splinterlands Social Media Challenge🌟I will talk about a battle where team building based on ruleset was not possible due to limited cards available in my deck, so I focused on one of my favourite lineups and built a strong team. You will notice that my team uses all three attack types equally, and I have also paid attention to team defence and shields. I am not saying that this is the best team, but I am saying that you can build a better team by using the cards present in your deck properly, and that is what I try to do. So please read the full blog; you will definitely like it!🙏

I created my team by using 45 of my total mana cap!

Let's now look at the Battlefield and how all the cards are positioned!

Before the cards get the summoners' powers!

After the cards get the summoner's powers!

You can see that the ruleset in this battle is Earthquake, according to which all non-flying cards will suffer a loss of -2 health at the start of every round from the second round onwards, but neither of the two players has built their team keeping the ruleset in mind. However, I still have a card that comes with flying ability, which will benefit me throughout the battle.

Round 1🔥

The enemy's card in the first position is one of the most troublesome cards in my experience so far. If it gets knocked out in the first round itself, it feels like you have won half the battle. Pro players will think that this card is nothing, but I am not a pro yet, and for me, defeating this card is a big achievement because the more rounds this card survives, the more trouble its enfeeble ability causes to my cards. Now, if you look at the remaining cards, the enemy has mostly ranged attackers, and these are also lacking close-range ability.

Round 2 🔥

Above you can see the effect of the Earthquake ruleset in which every card present on the battlefield takes damage of -2 health impartially, provided you have special abilities like my 2 cards have, and they are able to survive this earthquake safely. ✌️

Round 3 🔥

As I explained earlier, the Earthquake rule set gets activated from the start of the second round and deals -2 health damage to all cards in every round, and this continues throughout the battle, so it is important to choose the best cards possible according to the rule set. There are still some cards in my lineup that have protected themselves from this damage, but the enemy team does not have a single such card, due to which it has suffered heavy losses. And complete dependence on range attackers is also a reason that prevents the enemy cards from performing frontally. In contrast, my team has a mix of all attack cards, which provides it a balance to a great extent. You also have to choose your team in every battle by paying attention to every aspect and including better cards in your deck while practising. Like before buying Pallus, I tested dozens of bottles and when I found it good in every way, then I bought it and made it a part of the team forever.

I hope you have now understood how important it is to pay attention to the team selection and the lineup. Keeping in mind every possible situation, you can make a better team even in such battle conditions. And as I always say that it is not just about winning or losing; important is to know how everything happened in the battle because based on that, you improve your strategy and learn from the shortcomings and correct them. So I am sharing this battle.
