<h2>Hello Friends,</h2> <center>  </center> https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@splinterlands/share-your-battle-weekly-challenge-carrionshade ###### Good day to all. I am sure many of us have invested on Cub and started earning PolyCub as per LeoFinance's recent airdrop programme and it's going smooth barring some small issues which the LeoFinance team is looking at. ###### Well, here comes another Splinterlands blog for the weekly **SHARE YOUR BATTLE** Challenge with another **Chaos Legion** edition monster getting featured in **Carrion Shade** from **Death Splinter**. ###### I am closing in on maxing out most of the summoners and even monsters from **Chaos Legion** and should be ready to move back to Champions leagues soon if not from this season. ###### Oh yeah, let me write about this battle with **Carrion Shade** used. <center></center> <div class=pull-left>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/coolguy123/AKTy7EupeuVDdrkqtUDir7HHBE3wkyFq9A8tn2bNTLysHpspiqeKvtXRLH3jZ7T.png</div> ###### **Carrion Shade** is one of those *most sought* monsters as it just costs 1 MANA and will be useful in *equalizer* rule set battles. ###### This one is a *melee* attack monster from *Death splinter* from **Chaos Legion** edition from *Common* category. <center></center> #### Stats: <center>  </center> ###### This monster costs just 1 MANA as I said and it gives a *melee* attack ranging between 1 to 2 . ###### It has *speed* varying between 2 to 4 in it's 10 levels and strts with 2 speed. ###### The *health* too stays in same range as in case of speed with starting *health* of 2 and that only increases by 1 in the final level to be a max of 3. ###### As for as the *abilities*, it gets lone ability of *flying* from level 3 onwards. <center></center> ## Battle and Lineup: <center>  </center> https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_ded3dd152eb96a3a338dbc4120ca557f&ref=coolguy123 ###### This battle had just 16 MANA cap and had 2 rule sets I love the most with *Super sneak* (all melee monsters attacking the last monster on the lineup unless there is a *taunt* monster) and *equalizer* being the other one which makes all the monsters have equal *health*. ###### The battle's 16 MANA cap means, I had to look out for low MANA cost monsters and with lots of those introduced in **Chaos Legion** edition, it was not much of difficulty to select 6 monsters. ###### Keeping these points in mind, I selected below lineup for this battle. ## Lineup: #### 1. Cursed Slimeball: <div class=pull-left>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/coolguy123/EogKwcwQPnuPisZmTHzgJqXiccnAvHGbuNee5ZLZnsMD9nhzRGa25o77TijA9B8L9r2.png</div> ###### I particularly use this to remove *divine shield* but for this battle, it was required as a monster to reduce the armors or main health since it had *equalizer* rule set. ###### Besides the ability, it can also give 2 useful *melee* attack (ofcourse with *inspire* by **Enchanted Pixie**). --- #### 2. Carrion Shade: <div class=pull-right>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/coolguy123/AKTy7EupeuVDdrkqtUDir7HHBE3wkyFq9A8tn2bNTLysHpspiqeKvtXRLH3jZ7T.png</div> ###### Used the *theme* monster in Second position to make most use of it's 1 MANA cost but 3 *melee* attack again inspired by **Enchanted Pixie**. ###### Being a *flying* monster, it also has increased chance of evading the attack and thus can last longer. --- #### 3. Undead Badger: <div class=pull-left>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/coolguy123/23tGRhRZaQBuNkYowRL6GxmXcyurHqiEwZBgwfLV4NnoS8HhbcrmGJtJSqghPXqRyuBF6.png</div> ###### Another low MANA cost monster with just 2 cost and gives 2+1 melee attack and has good speed of 5 to make him an early attacker. --- #### 4. Enchanted Pixie: <div class=pull-right>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/coolguy123/23zS1DsH8HYyHXqRYJxBJvopTPQmzacwCap9niLKTqvqUVNfGY9iLFHpiU8SATnmGxLww.png</div> ###### Used this to *inspire* all *melee* attack monsters and also to utilize it's 1 *magic* attack. --- #### 5. Skeleton Assassin: <div class=pull-left>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/coolguy123/23wgBTnBqUGWrbcwXn5CJyoXWSveeJc7a6NXE8xsU3GH4KCZoVgZV3M31vZmHLygKjK5t.png</div> ###### This *poison* ability monster is also among the early attackers with same speed of 5 as of **Undead Badger** and gives 3 useful melee attack as well. --- #### 6. Crypt Beetle: <div class=pull-right>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/coolguy123/AKYGp9wkiyGVh2uDuXrepWC8TqSdZ86WNGMuvZskZ7QGUjSqCYXGvT311dUf7LX.png</div> ###### Lastly, I used this *armored* and *shield* enabled monster as we can expect most of the attack towards it and it always takes 1 less attack because of *shield* ability. --- ###### Opponent used Life Splinter and he had a good front monster in **Pelacor Conjurer** with his monsters as **Feral Pixie**, **Stitch Leech**, **Uraeus**, **Armorsmith** and **Furious Chicken** to complete his lineup. <center></center> ## Battle: #### Round 1: ###### Opponent's usage of **Pelacor Conjurer** made all the monsters to have 8 *health* as that was the one with highest *health* among all the monsters used on either side. ###### The battle started with most of the attack towards back end and **Furious Chicken** and **Crypt Beetle** bearing those attacks. ###### There wasn't any casualty in this round although the *poisoned* **Furious Chicken** was to get removed even before next round starts as it was wit just 2 *health* by the end of this round. <center>  </center> --- #### Round 2: ###### **Skeleton Assassin** *poisoned* Second monster in successive rounds with **Armorsmith** being the victim this time and barring that getting removed by next round, there weren't any other monsters removed in this round. <center>  </center> --- #### Round 3: ###### **Crypt Beetle** became the First monster to be removed from my lineup as it was *poisoned* and was under continuous attack because of *super sneak*. <center>  </center> --- #### Round 4: ###### Opponent lost one more monster in the form of **Uraeus** in this round and that was the only one to complete this round's *casualties*. <center>  </center> --- #### Round 5: ###### As many as 3 monsters got removed in this round with **Skeleton Assassin** being the Second one from my side and opponent lost **Stitch Leech** and **Pelacor Conurer** and is left with just One monster to continue the battle. <center>  </center> --- ### Round 6 and 7: ###### It took 2 rounds to get rid of the **Feral Spirit** and that ended the battle of this *equalizer* rule set one with 4 of my monsters staying alive. <center>  </center> <center></center> ## Questions and Answers: ## Did my strategy work? What will I try differently next time? ###### Yes, the usage of low MANA cost monsters including **Carrion Shade** worked well and **Crypt Beetle** took most of the attack and stayed alive for almost 4 rounds. ###### The strategy of using the **Enchanted Pixie** to *inspire** all the monsters was also a good move here. --- ## Do I like the CARRION SHADE? Why or why not? ###### Actually, I haven't used this before as most of the *equalizer* ruleset battles makes me to use **Fire** splinter with **Exploding Dwarf** at the front. ###### But, yeah, I will be using this whenever there is an *equalizer* ruleset and I have to use **Death** splinter. <center></center> ###### That is all I wanted to write about this battle and I hope as always that, you liked the way this battle explained thru this blog and do keep pouring in your comments on this battle and this blog. ## <center>Thanks and Have a good day :)</center> <center></center> #### Join the new Official Telegram for Splinterlands via link given below to participate in contests and have fun. #### https://t.me/splinterlandsHQ --- ##### Not yet signed up for Splinterlands? ##### You can join using my referral link: <a href="https://steemmonsters.com?ref=coolguy123">splinterlands.io</a> and get some monsters from me :)
