[ES/EN] 👊Winning with 🔥"shield" and 💥"void" in ✅"Briar Patch"

Greetings to the entire #Splinterlands community, today I won thanks to the "Void" ability that my Archon "Fithe Bladestone" used on my "Dwarf" bloodline monsters. I used a "Fire" team and faced a "Life" team played by "Sorel." It was a "22 mana" battle, and there were no "Water" element monsters available.

This battle rule states that all monsters have the "Scattershot" ability, which means that archers and magic players will attack a random target.

This battle rule states that all units will receive the Thorns ability, and monsters with a melee attack will be damaged when they attack. It is recommended to use magic monsters, archers, or monsters with the Reflection Shield ability. Melee monsters with a shield will be more resistant to Thorns. If you use a monster with Amplify, the Thorns will do more damage.

## I'm using a "Fire" team with melee and ranged attacks. My archon is "Fithe Bladestone" which grants +2 armor to all my monsters, and if they share the "Dwarf" bloodline, they'll gain "void." My tank is "Grimbardun Fighter" a neutral with excellent melee attack power. His "Shield" ability allows him to reduce enemies' physical attacks. My second monster is "Halfling Refugee" a neutral epic with good health at a 1-mana cost, but his "Weary" ability prevents him from being very active.

## I place 3 archers at the back. Here I have "Portly Cannoneer" with "Inspire." Its ability allows it to increase my monsters' melee attacks, and because it's of the "Dwarf" lineage, it will gain "Void." Almost at the end, I have "Flame Mephit," a warrior who will be very agile against physical attacks thanks to his "Flying" ability. And my last monster is "Kha'zi Conjurer," who has a great arrow and good speed, but his "Incendiary" ability can inflict "Burning" on his closest companions.

## I'm facing a "Life" team with melee and magic attacks. Their archon is "Bella Ratajowlski," who grants "Deflect" to all their monsters, and if they share the "Ulund" bloodline, they'll gain "Shield." Their tank is "Janni Rebel," a sorceress whose "Inspire" ability will boost her friends' melee attacks. Her "Flank" ability allows her to grant "Reach" to "Halfling Refugee," a neutral who can now attack from the second position, although his "Weary" ability won't let him be very consistent. And their last monster is "Harbinger of Chaos," a legendary mage with excellent power and good health. His "Divine Shield" ability protects him from the first attack.

## Round 1 "Kha'zi Conjurer" is the first to attack, and although his arrow hits the target, "Harbinger of Chaos" takes no damage because his "Divine Shield" protected him. Then, "Harbinger of Chaos" shows no mercy to "Flame Mephit," who succumbs to the terrible damage he has suffered.

## Round 2 "Kha'zi Conjurer" manages to reach "Harbinger of Chaos," which suffers heavy damage, but then casts a massive spell that annihilates "Kha'zi Conjurer," which is sent to the Monster Graveyard. "Grimbardun Fighter" then subdues "Janni Rebel" with a powerful attack; the first enemy is defeated.

## Round 3 "Harbinger of Chaos" nearly eliminated "Portly Cannoneer," but the "Void" he gained thanks to the Archon's ability to be a "Dwarf" saved him.

## Round 4 "Harbinger of Chaos" fires its power ball and knocks out "Grimbardun Fighter." Then "Portly Cannoneer" fires its small arrow, leaving "Harbinger of Chaos," the most powerful enemy, with only one health point.

## Round 5 My "Halfling Refugee" eliminates its evil twin, but the thorns manage to injure it. Only "Harbinger of Chaos" remains standing, but it fails to overcome my "Halfling Refugee." "Portly Cannoneer" seizes this opportunity and fires its arrow, wiping out the last enemy's hit points.

## Strategy work? What will you try differently next time? My strategy paid off. My archon, Fithe Bladestone, was very useful, granting "void" to Grimbardun Fighter and Portly Cannoneer, who share the Dwarf bloodline. This ability makes them more resistant to magic attacks. My tank, Grimbardun Fighter, was great up front, resisting physical attacks thanks to his Shield ability. While Portly Cannoneer was a pleasant surprise, increasing my warriors' melee attack and ultimately taking out the strongest enemy. Kha'zi Conjurer was incredible, dealing massive damage to the enemy backline with his powerful arrow. Next time, I'll be using a Drake team. My archon will be Kavor Skarn, who will grant +1 Speed ​​to my monsters with the Drakoshan bloodline. My tank will be "Night Reaper" because it has great magic attack, excellent health, and good speed. Its "flying" ability allows it to be very agile against physical attacks, and its "wingbreak" ability allows it to do more damage to flying enemies. My second monster will be "Redwyrm Dragon," a flying dragon whose "immunity" ability protects it from poison. Its good armor and "flying" ability protect it from archers and ninjas or opportunists with "melee" attacks. Finally, I will place "New Beluroc Aegis" so that it dies by taking all the attacks thanks to its "taunt" ability.
