Social Media Challenge | It was head to head till the end! 😉

This week I brought a **Ranked** battle, which will be difficult to play, because their will be no rulesets at all to modify the battlefield. That is quite rare, so it will be interesting to see how the both teams will prepare for against each other. 😁

The mana cap was 22, which is not that much, so I had to plan carefully what to bring. Some of the non-attack monsters are quite cheap, but they can not attack, so it is a good idea to bring one or more monsters with the **Weapons Trainer** ability, because they will give their own attack to the non-attack monsters next to them, which might work. 😉 Their are four **Splinter** available to choose from and many times it is worth to use the **Dragon** Splinter to mix their monsters with another Splinter, but in my case I will pick the **Life** one, because I prefer a bit more protection for my monsters. 😇

My plan was to use **Franz Ruffmane** as my **Summoner**, becasuse he gives +1 **Armor** to his monsters therefore they will be able to block one incoming **Melee** or **Ranged** attack. He is also one of the highest levelled Summoner that I have, which made my choice picking him more easier. He is also able to bring one additional **Gladiator** monster into this battle, which is always a nice addition to any team. 😊

Usually the **Pelacor Conjurer** is not the strongest monster within the **Life** Splinter and he also doesn't have any attack, but many times his high **Speed** and his **Flying** ability means a lot to dodge the enemy **Melee** and **Ranged** attacks. Luckily in this battle he will get +2 **Magic** attack from his friend behind him, so for only two mana he evolves to a perfect tank. 😆

**Aves Sturges** doesn't have too much stats apart from his +2 **Magic** attack, but he has the **Weapon Trainings** ability, which will give his own **Magic** attack to his adjacent non-attack monsters making them damage dealers, which is truly amazing. 😋

**Helmet Kharafax** doesn't have any kind of attack on its own, that is why he has such a good passive abilities plus with the power of **Aves** he would be able to attack and try to take advantage of his **Bloodlust** ability, which means if he kills his target he will increase all of his stat by one. 😌

The **Venari Crystalsmith** is one of my favorite **Life** monster, because she cost only four mana and has +2 **Ranged** attack damage, which is pretty good. Her most important feature is her **Tank Heal** ability, which means that she will be able to Heal the monster in the first position. 😁

The **Celestial Harpy** stats wise is super weak that is why she cost only two mana, but at least she is able to use her **Opportunity** ability to attack the lowest **Health** monster from the enemy team with her +1 **Melee** attack. She is also able to **Fly**, which wil lgave her +25% chance to evade the incoming physical attacks. 😎

The **Soul Spawn** cost zero mana and that is why it is so easy to use him in any battles. Even though he is 'free' to play he has +1 **Melee** attack damage, but he can not attack from the back of my lineup. The reason that I used him there is to protect my lineup against the enemy **Sneak** or **Opportunity** attacks. 😆

My opponent brought **Helios Matriarch** who is a **Dragon** Summoner and such she is able to mix any **Splinter** with the **Dragon** monsters, which means that he will have larger monster pool than me. She also has the power to increase the **Speed** of all of her monsters by one and on top of that she is also able to bring an additional **Gladiator** monster into this battle. 😱 THe first round started amazing, because my team was able to kill their tank first and almost their off-tank as well, but my **Celestial Harpy** just missed the lethal blow. Still my **Pelacor** was able to survive the first round thanks to the help of my **Crystalsmith** who healed him up right before he would have die. 😁 In the second round we killed their off-tank and sadly we lost our tank as well. Luckily my **Kharafax** killed their **Marksrat** and managed to activate his **Bloodlust** ability to increase his own stats by one. Their **Kharafax** benefited of the plus one boost from their **Marksrat* *as well, but he fell into the first position, so he would start taking damage. In the beginning of the third round their **Kharafax** killed my **Aves**, which further boosted him up, but I have high hopes for my **Venari Crystalsmith** to try to keep my **Kharafax** alive. 🤞 It was a very dangeroud situation, because the enemy monsters had more damage than my team and they were damaging my tank much quicker than my team their tank. Luckily my **Celestial Harpy** killed their **Aves Sturgis** behind their **Kharafax** and that reduced the incoming damage by two and my **Crystalsmith** managed to recover the **Health** of my **Kharafax** back to normal. Their was a point when my **Kharafax** had only one **Health**, so it was a very risky situation, but my **Crystalsmith** and **Harpy** saved the day and won the battle for me. 😊
