Splinterlands, a noxious fumes battle with equalizer ruleset
Hi Friends,
Source
An advance merry christmas to you all as we are just days away from the christmas and splinterlands gives us another opportunity to write about the game through this social media challenge and i would like to share a battle with 2 important rulesets we have in splinterlands and that too with low mana cost cap battle as i share the details below with details of the rulesets also.
As i mentioned, the battle had 2 important rulesets in the form of equaliser and noxious fumes ofcourse there was another ruleset of return fire as well and since the mana cost cap was too less, no ranged attack monsters used, so i thought of not writing about the return fire.
Noxious fumes:
Noxious fumes is one ruleset which was introduced during chaos legion edition was introduced and this ruleset enables all monsters with position ability at the beginning of the battle and it will be a test on monsters usage to escape from the poison which reduces the health with 2 in each round.
Normally, we use monsters with immunity ability or monsters which can gain health like healing monsters or monsters with life leech ability.
Also to note here is the use of monster with cleanse ability if we can as monsters with cleanse ability can cleanse the poison and the front monster can escape from poison.
Equaliser ruleset:
Equaliser ruleset is from an earlier edition and i think this was introduced during untamed edition and this ruleset makes all the monsters with equal health and the health of the monster which has maximum health on both sides is set to all the monsters.
Normally, we try to use monsters with lesser health but with more abilities and more attack in the beginning and then the monsters with next lower health yet more abilities and so on.
I always find monsters with healing ability or life leech as more useful with this along with a tank healer.

The battle i am sharing here is the one with 16 mana cost limit as shared above and is with 3 rulesets with 2 of them explained above and the third one is the return fire ruleset which attacks back on ranged attack monsters.
Since the battle is with such low mana cost and also equalizer and noxious fumes rulesets were there, i planned to use forgotten one as one of the monsters which costs 9 mana and summoner costs 4 mana with 3 more left and my monsters were as below:
Halfling refugee:
Since this costs just 1 mana but provides 2 attack and since equalizer ruleset, anyways it will get maximum health of all the monsters, so used it in front position.
Scorch fiend:
Used this zero cost monster in second position to protect the forgotten one to be able to stay alive until the monsters gets lower health or dies on the other side due to noxious fumes poison in each round.
Forgotten one:
Used this mainly because of noxious fumes where each monster will be poisoned and loses 2 health, but, this monster is with immunity ability and doesn't lose health due to poison and hence my choice for this battle.
Scavo chemist:
Lastly, used this 2 mana cost no attack monster to cover the remaining 2 mana cost limit, although this is with no attack, it is with slow ability to reduce the speed by 1 from monsters used by opponent and is also with cleanse ability to cleanse the poison from noxious fumes.
Although the battle had just 16 mana cost limit, the equaliser ruleset is there, so the battle continued for 6 rounds and most of the monsters died due to poison instead of the attack from other side, but the one which survived this was the immunity ability monster of forgotten one and proved that noxious fumes battles can be won by using immunity ability ones.
The link to the battle is shared above for the review and once again wishing merry christmas before completing this blog.
