Hey there splinter-buds and Hive-bees! Community Engagement time for our game Splinterlands! Weekends! Wew! My days felt same with weekdays so there is nothing to look forward with weekends. Anyways, the scope of the challenge for this week focus on how to architect your team to gain victory. Splinterlands battle can be perform in different format. Wild, Modern, Guild Brawl, Frontier, Survival (currently on pause at the time of writing) ranks and Tournaments. With the categories mentioned above, a familiarization and awareness of what cards can be use is a must. You should not confuse yourself so to avoid getting unnecessary lost performing a battle. Such a waste that is.

Forming a Competitive Team for a Battle

So if you are now familiar or a bit familiar with the game splinterlands, you should know that winning in every battle you fought, there is a reward that will be awarded. Neglect the practice mode ok? Getting reward is for sure satisfying for this will be the key to your earning or game enhancement to become more competitive. You should always be aware of that for you are battling real persons here and they have their own knowledge playing the game. Equipping your self with game knowledge is a must here and not just for battling, but also on how you can update and take your assets to the next level to gain more rewards.
So with those bit of thoughts of mine that I shared, Now I am going to share a Tournament battle that was from Silver League.

Battle Rulesets

• The set of Rulesets for this round will be:
  46 Mana Capacity.
  Only Life and Dragon Splinters are allowed.
  Aim True - wherein there is no missed in every attack.
  Up Close and Personal - Just melee attacking cars are available to use.
  Rise of the Common - Which only Common and Rare monster units can be summoned.

• My Team:

Elias Max Pruitt as my Summoner - He can summon either Water and Life splinters. I am Using him for the boost ability it can grant to the monster unit and I believe that is very helpful to the melee attacking units. Shield repair is the boost i chose for this fight for I plan to balance my attacking and defending power. The additional of Melee attack and Armor is good for this type of rulesets

---

Anyu Huntswoman serves as my tank. With her Flank ability, it can grant a second attacker next to her which will gain a reach ability.

---

Skyspire Leopard will be my second unit of my team. Also, this card will be the bearer of the repair boost coming from the summoner. I chose this card for it will be fitted for next tank role if my first card fell down in battle. Void armor and Retaliate abilities are good counter to magic and then a chance to fight back to the attacker is a good call to be in the field.

---

Phlegmor, Vengeful Monk and Sherrigham Logger will be the cards that will deal with the back and took out the on the verge of dying card of my opponent. An additional Life coming from Phlegmor is another great boost to my team.

---

New Beluruc Aegis will complete my team. Its taunt ability is necessary to divert the attacks coming from the opponent's team that got either sneak or snipe ability to avoid an early casualty to my low HP opportunists. Its decent HP and Armor should fit enough for the role.

---

The Battle:

The team that I am facing right now will be Dragon made team summoned by Nidhoggr. One of the Aggressive type of summoner I know. The team that my opponent form is kind of a bit lacking in the offensive structure for it has not place a good number of melee cards that can sneak or perform opportunity attacks. Well, this is one of the reason that when you rent, or buy your own cards in splinterlands, it is always better to find and research cards that you can always use, as much as possible, for every rulesets or situations. Limited cards means limited chance of winning nowadays in this game. So as I said earlier, building your assets or able to rent is really a must playing the game to earn back.

In this round 4 of the battle is already shown my team's domination. Getting exhausted while fighting is another disadvantage of my enemy's team. Even they have the power to attack, they don't have the energy to do so.

Full Battle Here, if you want to see the actions.
