Hi friends,
It's full of fun as I keep playing the splinterlands battles, but my wins in last 2 3 days have reduced due to limited cards I have. I did open the other Rebellion packs gifted by Rob Wilberg and didn't get any major cards in the remaining packs.
My collection of cards from the packs that were gifted are as below:
The major of all these cards is the summoner I got in the form of Risquel Death as share below
This is a legendary summoner and it is having so many options and we need to select 2 monsters with some additional benefits it provides in the form of impede and true strike as additional abilities or taunt and redemption as additional abilities for 2 cards.
By default. this summoner is increasing the ranged attack by 1 and also it is providing the benefit of flying option to all the monsters.
I think I did explore the game much better compared to the time I wrote my first blog on splinterlands couple of days ago.
I now know that, there will be a summoner which calls a maximum of 6 monsters (all are cards) and all the summoners have some powers to provide the benefits to monsters they call and all monsters also have different benefits based on what they have and we need to put melee attack monsters first, the ones with that running disks and then we use monsters with magic attack which are the ones with that purple gel and finally, we will use the ranged attack, means the ones with that arrow to complete the 6 slots and there are monsters which are without these running discs, purple gels or those with arrows but they do provide some additional benefits to other monsters.
OK, I think I explained about it enough, but believe me, there is still lot to learn with regards to monsters usage and placing them in relevant slots but, here I am explaining about this one battle which is all with magic monsters, yes, those with that purple gel.
So, the battle is as below with details of monsters and summoners used:
The summoner used by me and the other battler is same and it is known as Obsidian and as I was telling, each monster provides different benefits to monsters and this summoner of Obsidian provides that 1 extra purple gel attack or magic attack and I see that this magic attack doesn't remove the horn like structure but it reduces the health of the monster it attacks.
I used a card provided to me by a splinterands player who has sent some of his cards which he isn't using and he said he will take those back once i have enough cards to play the game, fair enough.
So, the first monster I used is the monster of Xenith Monk which is a melee attack monster and it has 6 life/health, then I used the monster of Regal Peryton which is a magic attack monster and it provides 2 magic attack with 1 increased by Obsidian.
I have to tell something about the next 3 monsters, I see many are using this one monster which helps other 2 monsters without any attack to gain magic attack if this monster is used in between those 2 non attack monsters.
The monster is Moxian Rebel which is with that mask on and the other 2 monsters adjacent to this are the Lurking Puffer and Chaos Agent and both got 1 magic attack from Moxian Rebel and that is increased to 2 by Obsidian summoner.
The link to the battle is this one:

So, the game was easier with other person using one no attack monster Chaos Agent in the first slot and then another melee attack monster Hill Giant in second slot and then another one Mycelic Morphoid in third slot followed by 2 magic monsters Regal Peryton and healing monster of Goblin Psychic in the last slot.
As we can observe the battle from the link shared above, the first 3 monsters used by opponent were removed early by the ones on my side and remaining 2 magic attack monsters did resist first, but combined magic attack of 8 apart from 1 melee attack from Xenith Monk means, they couldn't survive and the battle went on for 3 rounds and the monsters used by other person all were removed and my usage of magic monsters worked well here.
I know I can play better as I continue to play, but any tips on playing the battle are welcome and also if any spare cards you can delegate for some days will also be of great help for me to push my game further as I have been losing more battles than winning in last 3 days.
Thanks friends, wishing you Merry Christmas in advance as we enter holidays.
