It was a no limit game as the rule permits every element to be used with a decent mana cap of 26 enough for me to get up to 4 monster in the battle field. The battle was against the earth element which my side's Life element came out victorious.

TEAM LINEUP


image.png

NAME: GENERAL SLOAN
ATTACK: SUMMONER
MANA CAP: 4
ABILITY: +1 HEALTH


STRATEGY

The choice of General Sloan is because it offers +1 damage to the range attack monster. It also has a decent mana cap of 4 which gives room for other monsters to fit in


Chaos Knight_lv1.png

NAME: CHAOS KNIGHT
ATTACK: MELEE
MANA CAP: 6
ABILITY: DEFENSE


STRATEGY

Chaos knight
is a perfect match for defense. Most of the 1 damage melee attack monster does not have an effect on her. She has a mana cap of 6, 2 melee damage, 2 speed and 4 health. The idea of having chaos knight as my defense was for it to put up a good fight before being eliminated


Time Mage_lv1.png

NAME: TIME MAGE
ATTACK: MAGIC
MANA CAP: 4
ABILITY: SLOW


STRATEGY

Time Mage, the reason for this week post is a magic attack monster. The way I uses her varies. Sometimes, I use her in-between while other times she comes behind but this selection involves range attack monster which can't attack from first position. So Time Mage was use in-between to make space for the range attack monster. Time Mage is very important because it gives her team the game advantage by slowing down the speed of the opposition monster and most fight, speed is essential because by the time the first side with higher speed takes turn, the damage will be too fatal for the other team to recover from


Venari Crystalsmith_lv1.png

NAME: VENARI CRYSTALSMITH
ATTACK: RANGE
MANA CAP: 4
ABILITY: HEAL


STRATEGY

Another great monster and a good support for the Frontline monster. This monster has 4 mana cap, 4 Health and threatens the opposition monster with 1 range damage plus additional 1 range damage from the summoner making it 2 range damages. This monster also help heal the Frontline monster by refilling its health. This monster was a great help in winning this particular battle.


Pelacor Arbalest_lv1.png

NAME: PELACOR ARBALEST
ATTACK: RANGE
MANA CAP: 6
ABILITY: DOUBLE STRIKE


STRATEGY

It take a very strong monster or a flying monster to survive the attack from PELACOR ARBALEST. By default it attacks the opposite monster with 2 range damages but here with the help of the summoner, it's damage capacity increased to 3 with a double strike ability, which means the opposite monster take 6 damages from him per round. I positioned the monster behind because unless the set rule says otherwise, most range attacks don't attack from Frontline. The monster also has 6 mana cap with 2 health.


Celestial Harpy_lv1.png

NAME: CELESTIAL HARPY
ATTACK: MELEE
MANA CAP: 2
ABILITY: FLYING/OPPORTUNITY


STRATEGY

Ordinarily, I do use this monster in-between but here I positioned it at the last space hoping for her to her evade attacks from sneak since sneak attack monster starts from behind. Harpy is a low cost mana monster with 2 mana and has the opportunity ability which makes it attack the weakest link on the opposite team. Being a flying monster, she can dodge attack from melee attack monsters.

ROUNDS ANALYSIS


ROUND ONE


The round started with my summoner offering all the range attack monsters +1 range damage and Time Mage slowing down the speed of the opposition monsters. Unfortunately, the round ended with the elimination of the defenders from both sides.


ROUND TWO


This was the determining round and the ugliest for the opposition team as they saw 3 out of 4 of their monsters eliminated with causing any damage to my Life side. After Time Mage eliminated the second inline, PELACOR Arbalest used his double strike to take away two of the opponent's monsters. This left the opposition with only one monster advancing to the third round.


ROUND THREE


It costed each of my side monsters one turn to eliminate the opposition one remaining monster. Because it was a flying monster, there were many misses but at the end, the team won with only one monster lost.

In total, the match lasted for only three rounds which saw my Life side lose only one monster with the opponent losing its whole team.

As a matter of fact, it was an easy win for the Life side.

DO I LIKE THIS MONSTER AND WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?


For me, "Time Mage" happens to be one of my favorite monster in the Life element. Though it's not a defense monster, it's very perfect when used in the middle while allowing the range monsters take the back role. As a magic monster, it has the advantage of being able to attack from any position which is very great. Honestly, I think the match was perfect, I wouldn't do anything differently if given the opportunity to face the same team again.

DID MY STRATEGY WORK?


Haha. It couldn't have gone any better. My strategy did work perfectly. Time Mage is really an incredible card but is not of great use when used against some monsters like UNICORN MUSTANG & DJINN OSHANNUS, I will shop for more better summoners that can enhance her skills in the future.

For now, I have to draw the curtain here for this week

Here is the other problematic post I mentioned in this comment - someone pointed this out to me on Discord, and I agree that this seems like you stole the post template from another @splinterlands player, but changed up the battle information. Is that the case?

@traciyork please I'm sorry. I have spoken to HW and apologize. This footer if you check my post for some time now, you will notice that I have been using this footer. It didn't start from this splinterlands post. Please I'm sorry for offending you. What can I do again? Please help me out

Hello @traciyork
Thank you for calling this out. I reached out to him concerning this when it came to my attention, as I find it really disturbing aswell and before then, he had DM asking how I made my GIFs etc, I had no idea this would happen.
I am not sure he understood anything I said, cause his reply of
"It's just Tables and Markdowns"
and also added
"I put in great effort to the work",

just makes me feel weak.
I did tell him I'd let this post go as an oversight (Prolly he's not aware, it's he's first Splinterlands post), plus it's already been curated, but, If his next Splinterlands post follows this same exact format/template style of mine then I'll have to report him.
It's just not right, we should all strive to be unique and different in our style of presentation, same way our Contents should be our own. There's a dozen creative means, literally a million.
