Hello Splinterlands summoners and welcome back to my blog!

Midway through the season, I just unlocked Gold I League in Modern. Again, I expect my SPS rewards earned per win to increase given the higher league. I was also rewarded with advancement chests that contained cards, among others. Advancing in leagues as you win more battles is part of the fun I find in playing Splinterlands.

Advancement Reward Chests

Not the best since I only got common cards and plenty of merits. I even used legendary potions for this one. There were also potions, scrolls and energy. I like the cards best especially if I can get legendary cards but this time the ones I got were mostly common cards.

Featured Battle

I have several fun battles on the way to reaching Gold I but I will feature one battle I liked most.

Spamming the Weaken Ability to Win

What I liked in this battle was I used three cards that each decreased the enemy's health. That means even before the battle started, the enemy's units already lost three health. This is huge given the damage output of my units means they can eliminate enemies in one hit.

The ruleset was included Outsider that allowed one unit from Wild to play in Modern. I chose the Frontier Death archon who debuffs the enemy health as part of my strategy. The rest of my units were as follows.

Ulundin Overseer

Ulundin Overseer is a beefy tank but has no attack of his own. To give him an attack, I paired him with a unit with Weapons Training ability.

Shiraza

My favorite card in the Escalation set. She has the Weapons Training ability that grants two magic attacks to no attack units similar to the legendary Rebellion card, Daarg Deadblast.

Will O Wisp

The unit I imported from the Wild Mode. Will O Wisp also has no attack of its own but has high health and useful abilities. One of those abilities was Weaken that decrease the enemy's health.

Grimshield Hexpriest

Grimshield Hexpriest is one of my magic damage dealers in the Death splinter. He deals three magic damage and has Apex Strike and Magic Reflect abilities making him a great card to play in Wands Out ruleset.

Gravebrand Warlock

Gravebrand Warlock is another one of my magic damage dealers in the Death splinter. He also deal three magic damage and has the Swiftness ability that increase the speed of my team. He also has the Execute ability that allows him to attack twice in a round if certain conditions are met.

Sorrow Harvester

Sorrow Harvester is a magic unit from the Frontier set that I frequently use in the Modern mode. She deals two magic damage and has the Weaken ability. Together with the archon and Will O Wisp, that makes three units who decrease the enemy's health.

The enemy had a higher level archon but doesn't have any abilities. His team was composed of an explosive dual tank combo of Doomshield Warden and Drybone Barbarian. Both deal high melee damage but their attacks were further strengthened by Janni Rebel's Inspire ability. His team included a unit with Tank Heal ability and also the legendary card Gramel the Hunger. My strategy worked well as the enemy team's units lost three health and were easier to dispose of. Inspite of the enemy's high attacks, my Ulundin Overseer was able to withstand their attacks. My team's magic attacks were effective to decimate the enemy team and win the battle.
