Guild Brawl Story: My Easy Win with 20 Health in a Toxic Smoke Match

My warmest greetings to everyone. I hope you are all well and healthy.

Today started off very well for me. Like every day, I woke up this morning, picked up my mobile, and opened the Splinterlands game. As soon as I opened the game, I saw that my guild's brawl or war had started. Guild Brawl is one of my favorite events because here you have to fight not only for yourself but also for the whole team. So without delay, I quickly went to my battle page and set up a match. Winning the first battle in the morning is really a different kind of joy. This victory has improved my mood for the whole day. In today's post, I will discuss that battle in detail with you. Today, I will tell you the story of how I organized my team, where the opponent made mistakes,s and how I won this match round by round.

To win any battle, it is very important to understand the rules or ruleset of that match. This battle had three special rules. The first one is Naxus Fumes, which means poisonous smoke. In this rule, at the beginning of each round, all monsters on the field will be poisoned, ed and their health or life will decrease. The second rule was Divine Shield, meaning all monsters will get a protective shield that will block their first hit. And the third rule was Stampede. Moreover, the mana cap in this match was only 20, which is very low.

After looking at these rules, I realized that no ordinary strategy would work here. Since there is a poisonous smoke rule, cards with low health or life will not last long here. They will die very quickly due to the poison. So I decided to use cards that have a lot of health. From this plan, I chose Summoner of Life Element and selected Gearnut as my main monster.

Now, let me tell you how I set up my monsters. My first position was at Dar Gotham Gearnut. The main reason for taking this card was its huge 20 health. Having 20 health in a 20 mana game means that it can survive for at least 10 rounds, even with poison. Moreover, it also had the trample ability,y which fits very well with the Stampede ruleset. My second position was Helmet Kharafax. I took it mainly as a supporting card. It has a special ability called Scavenger. This means that whenever a monster dies, whether it is my team or the opponent, its health will increase by 1. Since everyone will die quickly due to poison, I knew that Kharafax's health would continue to increase.

On the other hand, my opponent was Logen. He came with Dragon Summoner and Death Element cards. His team had many cards, such as Pelacor Deceiver, Riftwing, and Silent Sha-V. But his biggest mistake was that he focused on the number of cards, not the power of the cards. Bringing so many low-health cards into the Toxic Smoke match was the main reason for his defeat.

As soon as the battle started, Divine Shield and Poison effects appeared on monsters on both sides. There were no major incidents in the first round. Basically, they tried to break each other's Divine Shield or protective armor. My 20-health tank Gearnut stood like a mountain. The opponent attacked me, but they couldn't do much damage.

As the second round began, the real game began. The opponent's small cards started losing health quickly due to Naxus Fumes or Poison. As the opponent's cards died, my second monster, Helmet Kharafax, started to get stronger due to its Scavenger ability. Its health increased and became much higher. This is where I realized that my strategy was working correctly.

The opponent's situation started to get worse in the third and fourth rounds. Even their strongest cards were losing to the poison. My Gearnut's huge health kept him alive. The opponent was trying hard to defeat my tank, but the poison was weakening them. My plan was very simple:e, just survive. And that's what my monsters were doing very well.

By the seventh round, it was almost all of the opponent's cards. They only had one or two cards left, and that too with very little health. On the other hand, my two cards were still alive and in pretty good shape. The toxic smoke didn't hurt my opponent as much as it did me because I was already prepared with high-health cards.

In the end, I got a very easy win. I learned an important lesson from this battle. That is, in the Naxus Fumes or Poison ruleset, you should never team up with low-health cards. Rather, the scavenger ability and cards with high health are the keys to victory here. My opponent lost even after using 5 cards, and I won using only 2 cards. This is the real fun of the Splinterlands game, where you can win even with fewer cards if you use the right intelligence.

A win like this in the morning is really great. I hope you liked this battle review of mine. Have you also played such a fun match in Guild Brawl? Thank you all so much for reading this simple article of mine. I hope everyone stays well, stays healthy, and wins more and more in the game.
