Splinterlands Social Media Challenge | I chose to strengthen my team!

Namaste to all the Warriors of Splinterlands!🙏

In this week's 🌟Splinterlands Social Media Challenge🌟, I'll show you the benefits of strengthening your team, where despite having less cards, my team performed exceptionally well and defeated the enemy

And I assure you that you will not only enjoy it thoroughly but will also understand its importance!😎

The total mana cap for this battle was 31, including the summoner's mana cost as we all know and the ruleset for this battle is Standard: No change to standard gameplay rules or mechanics!

My lineup for this amazing battle!

Position	Summoner/Monsters	Abilities
Summoner	Kelya Frendul	+1 armor and +1 shield
1st Position	Giant Apline Skink	Shield
2nd Position	Pallus	Flying, Reach, Kindred Spirit
3rd Position	Merdaali Guardian	Tank Heal
4th Position	Djinn Oshannus	Void

I created my team by using 31 of my total mana cap!

I chose Kelya Frendul a water summoner by spending 4 mana because he provides +1 Armor and +1 Speed to all friendly units. As per my strategy, I needed at least 2 attack-type cards in my team. I focused on choosing only melee and magic attack-type cards along with a tank healer. I placed the tank healer in the middle to save it from initial attacks. If you pay attention you will find that each one of my cards has some kind of shield ability such as shield, void, tank heal, and flying.

Let's now look at the Battlefield and how I positioned my cards!

Before the cards get summoner's powers.

After the cards get summoner's powers.

Here is the screenshot before and after getting powers from summoners. You can see that due to enemy summoner's ability all my cards have lost 1 health and my magic card's attacking power has also decreased by 1 but one important area where the enemy remained weak is SPEED. Because the speed of my cards was already higher than the enemy's and due to the powers of my summoner it has increased by +1.

Now let's see what happens when the battle starts!

🔥Round 1

Here, at the beginning of the first round, due to higher speed, my cards performed the first attacks on the enemy, but due to the Thorns ability of the enemy's first-place card, my attackers also suffered damage.

🔥Round 2

Did you see? This is the advantage of having more speed. At the start of the second round, once again my cards got the chance to perform the first attack and this time my second-place card PALLUS knocked out this enemy card in a single attack.

And right after that, my second card's attack took another enemy card out of the battle. However, I think that the enemy placed this card just to protect the rest of his cards. Well, whatever, now it's the enemy's turn to attack.

After such a good performance, finally, one of my cards got martyred and now I have only two attacking cards left. Let's see what happens next in the battle.

🔥Round 3

Here once again both my attackers built pressure on the enemy at the beginning of the 3rd round and one more card of the enemy was knocked out.

🔥Round 4

Here, like the previous round, once again with the advantage of striking first, my attacking cards took one more card of the enemy out of the battle. By watching this battle, you will be able to understand what happens when the enemy attacks and why those attacks do not prove to be that effective on my team.

Despite the enemy still having 2 cards left, he has completely lost the battle because both of his cards are range attackers which cannot perform attacks from the front row in normal conditions.
So one of these two will not perform because he is in the first position and after just one more round the other one will also lose the ability to attack despite having the power due to the situation.

This is also a lesson to either use the range attackers in a safe last place or with Close Range Ability so that they can perform attacks even from the front row in the worst conditions.
