The Mayhem of Melee on Thorny Field
Introduction
Hello there! @saydie here, playing Splinterlands everyday!
This will be my entry for this week's Battle Mage Secrets with the featured ruleset Melee Mayhem. This is a ruleset Melee units can attack from any position.
For this battle that I'm gonna show you, I will be using my @crimepoet account which is my alternate account playing in Diamond League on modern format.
But before I reveal my battle, let us learn more about this ruleset.
Melee Mayhem
 Melee Mayhem |  Melee attack Monsters can attack from any position. |
With Melee Mayhem, all melee monsters can attack the first position monster regardless of their position. Abilities such as Reach, Sneak and Opportunity though takes priority and will work as intended.
In terms of ability, the equivalent of Melee Mayhem was Recharge which is a new ability from Rebellion with Venka the Vile so far as the only monster with this ability.

1st Position: Pelacor Conjurer - A 2- mana non-damage unit that has the Flying ability, increasing its evasion chance by 25% together with Magic Reflect to return magic damage to the attacker and Phase to evade magic attacks. It can also nullify the first damage it takes with Divine Shield

Battle Recap
Here is a replay of the battle which at you can watch at Splinterlands.
Did My Strategy Work?
Although, there was Briar Patch that comes along the Melee Mayhem ruleset, I still proceeded with using Jared Scar as for its every win, it would also recoup its health and armor and that bear fruit in this battle as he would always be able to inflict damage regardless of his speed.
That was it for this post. Thank you and see you at the next one.
