# <div class="phishy">Introduction</div>
This week Back to basic. This is one of the rule set I actually hate / find it difficult to play. I don't know why because my opponent has the same rule set and my card deck is not that bad, I should come up with a good team. 

I hope writing about might proof me wrong and it is only a feeling 🤣. 
When it is combined with *silenced summoners* https://images.hive.blog/50x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/icons/rulesets/new/img_combat-rule_silenced-summoners_150.png rule set it becomes even more depressed.

All monsters lose their abilities. 
The summoners buffs/debuffs are still in place, like *reach* and *trample* from https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Possibilus%20the%20Wise_lv2.png


Official ruleset information from splinterlands: [List-of-In-Game-Rulesets](https://support.splinterlands.com/hc/en-us/articles/9123215350548-List-of-In-Game-Rulesets)

# <div class="phishy">Abilities Synergies / Strategy</div>
There are no monster abilities that is synergies well with because other monster also do not have any abilities 🤣.
So it is up to the summoner abilities and the monsters core stat. 

<hr>

Two abilities that might be positive effected by this rule set. Normally they tend to have a lower mana cost because of their lack of abilities.
https://images.hive.blog/50x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/ability_recharge.png *recharge*, now that monster will hit every round with the normal attack
https://images.hive.blog/50x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/ability_scattershot.png *scattershot*, now it becomes predictable where it will strike

<hr>

In general i like monster with high *health* https://images.hive.blog/50x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/stats/health.png and *armor* https://images.hive.blog/50x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/stats/defense.png in this rule set.

<hr>

Then there are the monsters that already did not have any abilities like:
https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Cruel%20Sethropod_lv8.png https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Nerissa%20Tridawn_lv3.png https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/rift/Runemancer%20Florre_lv1.png https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Magi%20of%20Chaos_lv3.png

Because they do not have any abilities that is reflected in the mana cost. Most of the time you pay more for the ability. **Runemancer Florre** not of course there you pay for the *double attack* and *high health*.


<hr>

There is a particular attack order in my opinion/general lineups

### <div class="phishy">Preferred teams</div>
Really depended on other factors like: 
* Other rule sets 
* Mana cap
* What you opponent is often playing
* What cards and level do you own/rent

Here are some setups that I like to play. Viewed with the levels and stats that I own.

|Summoner|#1|#2|#3|#4|#5|#6|
|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|
|https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Grandmaster%20Rathe_lv2.png| https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Uriel%20the%20Purifier_lv2.png| https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Magi%20of%20Chaos_lv2.png| https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Adelade%20Brightwing_lv2.png| https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Temporal%20Master_lv5.png|  https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Portal%20Spinner_lv6.png| https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Prismologist_lv2.png|
Strong magic and ranged team with very good tank that can now attack every round.
The *void armor* of **Grandmaster Rathe**. The **Portal spinner** is not predictable hitting the front target.

All magic. Not possible to get magic reflect monsters.
The chance is low in modern gold to see https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/dice/Owster%20Rotwell_lv6.png
I like this play because of the summoner buff +1 magic all monster do 3 damage ore more

Mixed setup the extra health of **Possibilus the Wise** together with the already high health monster this is pretty strong team i.m.o.


## <div class="phishy">Avoid</div>
I try to avoid low health monsters because they are now very squishy and have no protection from some abilities. Also monster with the redemption abilities becomes useless:
https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/reward/Exploding%20Rats_lv6.png

Monsters with very good abilities, those abilities are also in the mana cost, monster like: 
https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/reward/Uraeus_lv4.png, without the poison and sneak not that interresting
https://images.hive.blog/100x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/reward/Venari%20Wavesmith_lv6.png, mostly chosen for the extra shields that it does not get now.

Placing of my ranged attack was not correct (ran out of time 🤣), win because of the **Venari Heatsmith**.

Pretty similar setup almost full magic do as much damage as possible. In this case I just win because of the extra magic monster and the level 3 **Magi of Chaos**.
