Holy Protection ~ Be Focused On One Target

Hello My Fellow Splinterlands Summoners

After a few week, I make this kind of post again, so welcome to my Splinterlands engagement challenge post. In my last Splinterlands Post about battle discussion, I talked about small mana cap battle, not a little league ruleset. This time let me pick another battle topic, about a ruleset, we call this Holy Protection.

Holy Protection is a ruleset that give all units a divine shield ability. So all first incoming attacks will be nulled. It likes having Lorna as your summoner, but in this ruleset you can add another traits from your summoner. So let say it is LORNA + or LORNA V 2.0 for this ruleset.

Before it goes too wide, let me pick a battle for reference, and of course all good
Splinterlands post should have a battle reference as we always have it that way.

I pick this battle for two reasons. The first one, this battle as a holy protection ruleset. Of course it does, doooh.. If it is not, I could not use this. The second one is not because this is an epic battle or it has great combination of ruleset, but let me show you the battle excerpt below

I hate when they match me up with someone whose rating is far above me. In this battle, that condition came in again, I had to fight people who had 240 rating above me. It does not matter for me, I still won it anyway, but everytime I experiece this condition, I feel like there is a stats padding here. Some people are getting matched with lower rank opponent which supposed to be a weaker opponents. Well it would not be like that if that opponent is me.

Ok let me share you general approach I use everytime I have Holy Protection rulset.

1. It gives divine shield to all units which negates the first incoming attack. The more units you have, the more first attack you negate, so better you have more units than a single one, because you will negate more opponent attacks. In this battle, I go with 6 units, not with 5 units like my opponent does.
2. Employ more attacks, use double strike, blast or dual attacks. The goal is simple, more attack = the more you dry up your opponent divine shield. In this battle I use Anachron Bolter dual attack, range and magic.
3. Focus on the kill, which means you need to focus your attack either all into the front line, or a bunch of sneak attacks. In this battle, I go all for frontal attacks, aiming their main tank.

Well the result was simple, I win this battle. In general their units are actually stronger than mine, and they have better and proper summoner too, but they have made two big mistakes there

1. They use less units than mine, it means they are not properly exploiting the divine shields they could have. This could always be a debate, because there are special situation that having more units do not bring better result, but this is not that special situation.
2. The second one is the biggest mistake, they disperse their attack. They have one with snipe ability, one with scatter shots, and one with sneak ability. They are aiming everywhere, which build up the gap between as. While they are depleting my team divine shield, My team is already killing them one by one.

so let me show you a milestone in this battle:

In round 4 the situation is sittled as my win. I do not win on that round, but Janni Rebel will be healed 3 health point per round by Anasth Soothsayer, so literally they could not kill Janni Rebel anymore. it is locked and I will win later.

At this point I realize that their intention was to kill my backline units first, so letter they would come with that Infernal Firestorm and wiped the remaining units. However that would not work due to Divine Shield that all my line up have.

You can not do this like in other ruleset, Holy Protection gives divine shields and in this battle I killed their units first before they start killing my units. There would not be any lucky shoot from scatter shot, because divine shield will null it first. You would not get second or third chance because your units get killed first.

So that is my simple tips about Divine Shield ruleset. What do you think about it, care to share another method or opinion here? Be my guess, please leave a reply below, I always open to any kind of feedback and input.

That's all for today post and See you in Splinterlands battlefield...
