Hello again, my coffee loving friends. Splinterlands had recently removed the level limits for the leagues and I am enjoying it so much. I'm currently at 1400 Silver 2 after 1 day and still going up.
Of course, when I read about it, the first thing I thought is, "I wonder how strong The Kraken is in full force?" which will be a topic for another day.
This post, will give you an insight though on this one. Even though I did not abuse the use of Equalizer rule set, it still didn’t matter in front of raw power and pure terror.
RULE SETS
 | Active:  Fire,  Water,  Earth,  Life,  Death, Inactive:  Dragon |
|---|---|
 | Equalizer: The initial Health of all Units is equal to that of the Units on either team with the highest base Health. |
 | FabFour: Up to four Units can be used. |

STRATEGY
Have the Kraken as the front and absorb every attack with Taunt. The rest would support The Kraken with Tank Heals, except for Captain's Ghost, which would focus on inflicting the Affliction so any possible heal for the enemy would be negated.
Alternative Strategy: You can remove Captain's Ghost for another healer which I usually do. I just added him in case the enemy would have a healer themselves in order to reduce the number of turns needed to win, for documenting purposes.
CARD POSITIONING
In this battle, I used the summoner, Bortus and units, The Kraken, Captain's Ghost, Tortisian Chief, Merdaali Guardian .
Quick Stats
 |
Level 8: Rare Summoner. Allows level 1 common, level 1 rare, level 1 epic and level 1 legendary.  -1 Magic: Reduces the Magic damage of all enemy Units by 1 |
 |
 |
 |
   Taunt Demoralize Enrage |
 Affliction |
 Tank Heal |
| 1. Level 4: Note: Missing Retaliate. The Kraken alone, without any support, is strong enough to take care of the entire enemy team. The compatibility between his abilities are very good especially the Enrage that would increase his raw damage and increase the damage of Retaliate at the same time. | 2. Level 1: I added him, to be honest, in order to reduce the number of turns needed to win. I don't normally need any Affliction as three Tank Heals would be pretty hard to beat. You can remove him and change to another one as you see fit. | 3. Level 4: A neutral unit with Tank Heal at max level. I am actually thinking of providing a separate budget for him since he can also be used for a Death team, which lacks the Tank Heal units. |

| |
  Tank Heal Repair Strengthen |
||
| 4. Level 8: She's the epitome of defense. Tank Heal and Repair in one unit is huge. The Strengthen is also very strong since at max level, The Kraken only has 14 health. This meant that the Tank Heal gives 4 Health each round compared to 5 Health each round at 15 Health due to Strengthen. |
