My Battle Analysis: HOLY PROTECTION Strategy in Splinterlands
2 comments
Hello Splinterlands fans! This week’s Battle Mage Secrets challenge theme is HOLY PROTECTION. This rule grants each monster in the battle a one-time shield against damage.
In this post, we will go over the HOLY PROTECTION rules. This could be a source of information on Splinterlands monster battles. Let’s dive into effective strategies to handle this rule and analyze a battle using this theme.
HOLY PROTECTION
Battle Rules
- HOLY PROTECTION: All monsters receive a one-time shield against damage.
- FAB FOUR: You can only place 4 monsters in the battle, excluding the summoner.
- UP TO ELEVEN: All monsters gain the amplify ability.
Key Strategies
1. Speed is Crucial
Speed is paramount in HOLY PROTECTION battles. Attacking first allows you to break the opponent’s shield and then directly target their health. Choose monsters with high speed to ensure the first strike.
2. Use Blast Attack
Blast attacks are highly effective. When you hit one monster, the blast will also break the shields of adjacent monsters. This increases attack efficiency and speeds up the destruction of the enemy’s shields.
3. Utilize Resurrect Ability
Monsters with the resurrect ability regain their shield upon being revived. This offers additional protection and extends the lifespan of your monsters on the battlefield.
4. Combine with Other Battle Rules
Combining HOLY PROTECTION with FAB FOUR and UP TO ELEVEN allows for more complex strategies. The amplify ability from UP TO ELEVEN boosts damage from magic and other attacks, quickly breaking shields and reducing the enemy’s health.
Example Battle and Strategy
Summoner and Monsters Used:
- Summoner: Quix the Devious, reducing the opponent’s ranged attack and speed.
- Monsters:
- PRISMATIC ENERGY: Magic attack, magic reflect, and VOID.
- DEEPLURKER: Poison attack and opportunity.
- RIVER HELLONDALE: Magic attack with INSPIRE and resurrect abilities.
- CHAOS DRAGON: Magic attack, blast, and blind.
Opponent’s Summoner and Monsters:
- Summoner: Valnamor, boosting magic attack, health, and speed of monsters.
- Monsters:
- DJINN OSHANNUS: Magic attack and VOID.
- PRISMATIC ENERGY: Magic attack and magic reflect.
- PHANTOM OF THE ABYSS: Magic attack and dodge.
- RULER OF THE SEAS: Magic attack and blast.
Battle Analysis
1. Effectiveness of Magic Attack and Magic Reflect:
The opponent’s strong magic attacks backfired against PRISMATIC ENERGY’s magic reflect ability. The amplify rule increased the reflected damage, quickly draining the opponent’s health points.
2. Opportunity and Poison Attacks:
DEEPLURKER’s poison attack and opportunity ability targeted the lowest health monster, RULER OF THE SEAS, rapidly depleting its health and reducing a major threat.
3. Blast Effect from CHAOS DRAGON:
CHAOS DRAGON’s blast attack dealt additional damage to adjacent monsters, efficiently breaking their shields and health.
4. Resurrect Ability from RIVER HELLONDALE:
The resurrect ability revived PRISMATIC ENERGY, restoring its shield and providing crucial additional protection, which was key to winning this battle.
Conclusion
The HOLY PROTECTION rule adds a layer of complexity to Splinterlands’ battle strategy. Focusing on speed, blast attacks, and resurrect abilities can maximize your chances of victory. Combining this with the FAB FOUR and UP TO ELEVEN rules adds further strategic depth.
