Splinterlands:Weekly Battle mage secrets submission with the Theme Aimless

Hello splinterlands gaming fans!
This is my weekly battle mage secrets submission with the Theme #Aimless.

https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sl_e0f832b272d4a87a95d79c2da6b12b3d

First I would like to say Happy New Year to my all #Hive friends. May new calendar bring more success and happiness over Hive blockchain as well over #play2earn #splinterlands.
So many amazing things happened in the previous calendar taking splinterland. Hope there will be so many more new things in the current calendar.
It is my first post in the new year calendar and in this post I am going to share my weekly battle.
I well remember, when I started my splinterland journey in 2020, since then I have continuously been invested in play2earn gaming platform.
With the end of December we are capable of purchasing rebellion and these rebellion monsters and summoners are going to change the game strategy in the new calendar.
Meanwhile I am able to reach 47k sps** staking along with 7 lac collection power. It means there are countless cards in my game wallet. Overall I am happy with what I got from splinterland.

PREPARATION FOR BATTLE WITH AIMLESS

There was little doubt in my mind choosing my Splinter. Finally, I decided to use the **Dragon** unit. Actually I wanted to use Djinn Chwala and Phantom Soldier in my battle squad that's why I chosen **Quix The Davious** as my summoner. I know well that this battle will be fought between Magic and Range monsters. To keep balance in the battle squad I kept Handwinds ability summoner and Silence ability monster Phantom Soldier. Quick the Davious is 3 Mana Legendary summoner that comes with two debuffs Headwinds and weaken. While my opposition team showed their faith in Silence ability summoner Thaddius Brood.

BATTLE RULESET AND MANA
It was just 31 Mana game play and 3 splinters Dragon, Earth and Death were active for the battle. My strategy was not clear taking my battle setup, so I decided to use Dragon unit. It was Amplify battle ruleset, so I wanted to use Thorn ability Monster at front from Dragon unit. Legendaries were off colour from battle so I was little alert taking my battle lineups.

Lost Legendaries

Legendary Monster will not be available for the battle but one can use legendary summoner. One have to battle with Rare, Epic and common Monsters

Up To Eleven
All monsters will get Amplify ability.
It means Thorn, magic reflect and Return fire ability monsters and summoners will be effective.

Aimless
Taunt ability monsters will be ineffective. All Monsters will get scattereshot ability and will target randomly to the opponent cards.

BATTLE SQUAD AND THEIR PLACING
It was just 31 mana gameplay with certain three battle ruleset, so it was never an easy task to choose battle lineup. I was in dilemma while choosing my summoner and battle lineups. I was sure that opposition monsters are not going to Target any particular card so chosen Quix The Davious and Phantom Soldier to reduce the impact of Magic and Range attack.
Likewise hardly anyone use Melee monster in scattereshot and Amplify ruleset. Team combination was not traditional rather I given priority to Weaken. One by Undead Priest and another from summoner's buffs.
I wanted a balance team that's why I decided to use double magic Monster, double range Monster and double Melee Monster. I could not use magic reflect and return fire ability Monster but there was single card with Thorn at front. Yes Opportunity or Sneak monster could be fetal for my team as I was using lowest health base Monsters without protect.

Djinn Chwala
DIJIN CHWALA

This is my all time favorite Epic Dragon monster. I have been using this Epic Monster since the beginning of Chaos Legion arrival. It's pretty good 6 armor and 10 health helps alot to Thorn opposition Melee Monsters. Beside it 4 Melee attack and 3 health becames crucial with Enrage. Mostly I like to use this Monster because of it's pretty good Armor, Thorn ability and Enrage ability. I placed this Monster at first position so that I can use its Thorn and Enrage ability. You can see it's thorn protested a lot to Cursed Wendeku with the Amplify ability of Weirding Warrior. Despite Heal ability of Wendeku, my battle squad got rid from that.

Twilight Basilisk

It was like an experiment for me as I hardly use this Rare monster in battle squad. It is a dragon unit card in four Mana. I was using this card because of its Reach and Stun ability. We get just two Melee attack and 4 speed at level 6 but 2 armor is enough to survive from first opportunity attack. We get 4 health at same level. Mostly I prefer this card in Little League but I wanted to take advantage of Stun that's why I given a place in battle squad. It was getting additional Enrage ability with a battle ruleset. At Max level we get a similar ability but melee attack increases into 3 and health converts into 5.

Phantom Soldier

This is an Epic card from death unit. It is a 8 Mana magic monster. I was using 5 level of it and at this level we get 10 health, 3 magic attack and 3 speed. This Monster comes with three abilities Silenced, Flying and Void. This Monster always be impactful with the combination of Thaddius Brood especially against magic Monsters. I was battling with scattereshot ruleset, so this Monster was going to useful against magic monsters. Fortunately there were 3 magic monsters in opponent's Battle squad. I placed this Epic Monster at third position.

Venari Marksrat

Mana monster. I wanted to utilize its Martyr ability with Phantom Soldier. Venari Marksrat is just like fungus flinger. I have used this card in the same way as the third card because it also has the Martyr ability. I have used this card at level 5 due to which it is doing a ranged attack with 2 attacking speed, 4 health. Marksrat has two abilities of its own. One is Martyr and the other is Snare. As I said, being a Martyr ability, when it is eliminated, it increases the power of the cards around it. In Snare Ability, when this card attacks a card that has Flying Ability, its Flying Ability is removed. I put this card on the fourth position. You will say how it was helpful for his fellow monster Phantom Soldier.

Weirding Warrior

It was already up to 11 battle rule set, so there was no use of it's Amplify, but it has shatter ability so I was thinking that if my opposition team comes with protec ability then it could be helpful. It is two Mana Epic card from death unit. I was using level four of it and at this level we get 2 Range attack, 3 speed and 2 health. This Monster comes with two abilities Amplify and Shatter All these abilities are enough in 2 Mana. I was using this little League Monster at 5th position.

Undead Priest

This is a small pack specially for little League. You will get pretty good four health in two Mana. This is alpha and beta Edition monster. It is also a rare Monster in two Mana. This Monster comes with two special abilities: weaken and slow at level 5. At level four we get four health, 1 Magic attack two speed. I wanted to adjust this monster in 31 Mana gameplay and also wanted to use its weaken ability with Thaddius Brood.

DID MY STRATEGY WORKED WELL? WILL I TRY DIFFERENTLY IN NEXT TIME?
It's never be an easy task to set up our battle line up against Aimless battle ruleset set. Mostally players setup their team to reduce the impact of Magic and range attack. I too did the same thing and was using Silenced and Headwinds ability in battle.
Only thing that we can do is to use high health Monsters. Unfortunately It was just 31 Mana gameplay, so I could not use high mana and health based monsters. Yes, Melee monster could be effective but they have to target randomly, so it was also not an appropriate option.
Finally I decided to use a similar combination of attacks like magic range and Melee. I was similarly using two magic, two range and two Melee monsters .
At the front position I was using the Thorn ability monster but could not protect the backline monsters. One thing more I did to weaken the opposition team by using one weaken monster and one from summoner.
Thus it was my team combination with that I was against magic army. Yes, next time I will try differently according to new battle ruleset..
