Splinterlands: Magic monsters are amazing in Equalized Armor

Splinterlands is a complex game, and it allows for various cards and strategies. Each fight is different as there are various rulesets applied, and this can give specific cards an advantage depending on how you use them. In this post, I talk about a battle where I did won because I had a better strategy.

Rule Set, Battle, and Plan

The rulesets this time are Fates Certainty and Equalized Armor. This means that all monsters start off with the same armor, and all abilities that have a chance work always. There is also 34 mana available, and I can use fire,water, or life splinter.

Splinter	Mana Cost	Position	Reason
Marlai Singariel	6	Summoner	+1 magic
Halfling Refugee	1	1st
Thanalorian Scion	5	2nd	Void Armor
Torrent Sniper	7	3rd	Snipe
Daigendark Surveyor	2	4th	Magic Reflect
Daarg Deadblast	7	5th	Weapons Training and Swiftness
Grimbardun Smith	6	6th	Immunity
Total Mana:	34

The focus of this lineup is to keep my monsters alive while dealing damage and outlasting my opponent. My archon is Marlai Singariel for the +1 magic damage. My tank is Halfling Refugee, and my backup tank is Thanalorian Scion. After that are my magic monsters and support monsters. My support monsters gain magic damage due to Daarg's weapons training.

Round 1

round 1.png At first glance, I think that this match is my win. My magic damage just overpowers my opponent, and I see no way for my opponent to overcome this with his spread-out damage.

Round 5

round 5.png A few rounds later, my opponent has 2 monsters, but my side is still all alive. There is nothing my opponent can do anymore.

I won later that round.

Conclusion

I won the match because my strategy worked out. The magic monsters buffed by my archon made quick work of my opponent. My opponent had to deal with the massive armor on my side due to Scion and couldn't deal any effective damage. This led to an easy win on my end.

You can see my entire match here.

What did you think of my match? Was there anything you would have done differently? I think it is quite interesting to see how different players use the same card.

The match was indeed easy and one sided in your favor

The spread out damage by the enemy team puts them to disadvantage

I think the cheat code for you was having that weapon's training, having more magic cards and powerful damage behind your attacks, really good win, honestly. Nothing comes close to fielding magic cards

10 armor and monsters at lvl 1 looks pretty strong! 👊🎃
