Greetings,
Splinterlands players how are you doing in this special week of September?
I hope you are doing very well so far in your season. Can you believe that the archer warriors in a modern format can put to bed a magic offensive strategy without too much effort from the defensive side of their actions?
It was like a dream when I watch this battle in Champion League. You will see how a cool combination of melee and archer can create the different in your favor despite the presence of magic warrior on the opposite side of the board.

## Rulesets of the best battle
---
***No change to the standard game rules***
---
Mana value: 52

It is impossible to think of winning strategy at the higher level of competition with out association of magic elemental cards in your set up.
I was sure that in this battle the magic warrior in the Tofu team will make a severe splash winning without resistance considering the limitation of Range warriors in front row, but I was surprise at the final round.
## A. Power matters
In this battle you will see how the boost of key cards in the archer group of warrior can force the opponent to back up and ultimately create the shift in power.
Tofu team looked very solid I could not have summoned a better team considering the ruleset.
It was a simple battle where the parties in the game had the potential to play at the best of their capabilities.
All the teams were ready to boost their skills in a collective matters where abilities were vital to the success of your strategies.

Tofun called to the arena a group of warriors dominated by the magic light and neutral warrior.
The presence of the unique hearth warrior Sentinel on both sides showed the value of resurrection in the strategies deployed on the board.
Ambush game an advantage to the Fire and hearth summoner who took out the sentinel in the Tofu team.
This breach in the defensive side will later cost too much to the Tofu formation but It is interesting to look first at the abilities in favor of the Light warriors action in the arena. The defense against magic attack, healing and reduction of Drath team speed were the main abilities that support the magic attack in Tofu lineup. I was worried to not find a major tanker in front row but the Gramel at the back was a serious adversary in normal condition.

Drath team operate heavily on the side of the archer warriors. It was difficult to identify the scenario that will create the potential change of power on the battlefield.
It was only noticeable the archer boost in offensive power.

The ruleset was simple. The restriction was only on the mana side with a good number to allow powerful warrior to combine their skills against the opposite team.
Tofu did the best it could against the heavy drop of strikes against his defense. On the Drath side Graybrow did an excellent work holding the front row for the first two rounds.

## B. Possibility to reproduce this combo
I can find this operation very costly in term of maximization of many cards from the range type then take the risk to use this cards in a setting where the only barrier before they hit the front line is a solo tanker.
It is possible to reproduce this setup but the condition favorable to deploy it may be scarce.
I don't know if you are a regular user of archer warrior on the battlefield but I prefer the others type of warriors. Do you see a positive win rate with archer combo often place in the arena?
## C. Tips with range strategies
When I figured that the archer warriors can only attack in the front row when special conditions are activate, I was less interested to use archer as main tool in my offensive battle plans. However, you will see that the game offers opportunity to place tanker that are powerful enough to hold the first line while Range warriors do their work.
It is a measured risk to bring this combo on the battlefield but it is way more powerful than magic selection present in the arena.
