Namaste to all the Wonderful Warriors of Splinterlands!🙏
This is my entry to the Splinterlands Social Media Challenge For this week's challenge, I've chosen one of my battles where I used a newly hired monster of neutral element for the first time and I liked it so much that I bought it soon after. It was my first purchase on the Splinterlands site itself which was really smooth and amazing. :)
The total mana cap for this battle was just 26, including the summoner's mana cost as you all know.
| Rule set (Standard) | Meaning |
|---|---|
 | This ruleset means there would be no modification to the standard gameplay rules. |
| Summoner | details |
|---|---|
 | I chose Tarsa a summoner of the Fire element whose mana cost was 4. This Summoner would provide +1 melee attack and +1 health to all friendly monsters. She is really a great fire summoner especially when you have a low mana cap. |
Monsters on the battlefield!
| 1st position (Molten Ash Golem) | Ability |
|---|---|
 | Mana cost of this monster is 6, this is a Range attack monster having Close Range Ability and 9 health. That's why I put it in first place so that it can attack and the second-position card also has some protection. |
| 2nd position (Pallus) | Ability |
|---|---|
 | Mana cost of this monster is also 8, and it has Flying and Reach ability. With Flying Ability, this monster has a 25% bonus chance of evading melee or ranged attacks from units who do not have flying ability and with Reach Ability, It may attack from the second position on the team. |
| 3rd position (Endless Ape) | Ability |
|---|---|
 | This monster has a mana cost of 7 and it has 2 abilities, one is Charge and another is Piercing. With a Charge ability, this unit may use melee attacks from any position and will target the enemy unit in the first position and with a Piercing ability, if melee or ranged attack damage is in excess of the target's armour, the remainder will damage the target's health. |
| 4th position (Chaos Agent) | Ability |
|---|---|
 | This monster has a mana cost of just 1 and it has no ability. |
With these 4 monsters, I created my team using all my mana caps.
Now I will take you to the battlefield!
Round 1 
This is how the battlefield looked after the monsters received the powers of both summoners. As per my opponent's summoner's power, all my monster's health decreased by 1 and as per my summoner's powers, all monsters got +1 melee and +1 health. After which my monsters had one melee more than their own melee attacking power and their health became the same as their own.
Round 1.5
Soon after the battle began my 3rd positioned monster was the first to strike, knocking out the opponent's 1st positioned monster in one hit. Initially, my monster had 4 melee attack powers which became 5 after +1 melee received from the summoner and since Opponent only had 5 health, he was knocked out in just one hit.
Round 1.7
After that, the next attack was made by my 2nd positioned monster and because Initially, this monster had 3 melee attack powers which became 4 after +1 melee received from the summoner so he also knocked out the opponent's 1st positioned monster in one hit. This 2nd positioned monster PALLUS is the one that I was talking about in the beginning. Although the first attack monster is also amazing but it was too expensive so for the time being, I decided to buy this one. :)
Round 2
After this, at the beginning of the 2nd round, Venka the Vile once again destroyed another monster of the opponent in a single attack and in this frame, you can clearly see it attacking as well. The opponent monster had 4 health and Venka's attacking power was 5. 😎 This is the power of this monster, in front of which even the best monsters cannot stand.
Round 3
Here at the beginning of the 3rd round, you can once again see how Venka the Vile has gone wild and roared with his full attacking power towards the opponent's first-positioned monster who has 5 health and Venka also has the power to take 5 health. Do you think Venka's attack would have been successful here? And then what would have happened next in this battle?
If you are as excited as me, here is the link to this battle, go ahead and enjoy each and every move. ;)
Conclusion and what I learned!
I won't say that the opponent had very good cards, but if I did not have these cards and especially these 2 monsters, the outcome of this battle could have been different. I have also won some battles with opponent's cards, meaning those cards are not bad but it matters a lot who you are facing. In this battle, I learned the importance of special monsters and that is why I decided to buy them but Venka was too expensive so for now I bought Pallus and mind you it is also a powerful card and this monster has given proof of this in many other battles. :)
