Splinterlands - Low mana cost battles and the strategy for the same

Hello battlers,

https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@splinterlands/splinterlands-social-media-challenge-sledjk

Time and again, we have noticed that, it's not easy to win the low mana cost limit battles in splinterlands no matter how much strategy we build.

I had another such opportunity to build a strategy for just 12 mana cost limit battle and I want to share it here for this week's social media challenge.

Lineup:

https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_1a7f8ef796eca50f55e10c7be3f1da03&ref=goldmonsters

The battle, as I mentioned above had just 12 mana cost limit and that means, even if we use 3 mana cost summoner, we will be left with 9 mana cost building the lineup for the battle and it is not an easy one considering the nice monsters we have these days.

I tried to build a lineup with a strong front monster in pelacor conjurer as it is a monster which is hard to hit even by melee and ranged attack monsters and this has that magic reflect, so even the magic monsters will have difficulty surviving and hitting it.

The rulesets for this battle were, scatter, enrage and silenced summoner.

scatter will allow the monsters to hit randomly and not to concentrate on front monster.

enrage is useful on melee attack monsters more as it allows the monsters to get their stats increased when their main health is reduced.

silenced summoner means, we won't get the monster buffs and this case, the armors from tyrus paladium summoner I used will be not available.

The lineup starting with pelacor conjurer was as below.

Pelacor conjurer:

Pelcor conjurer is I think one of the best for the low mana cost limit battles irrespective of rulesets as it is one of the hardest to hit as it has flying ability and magic reflect along with divine shield for the level 7 monster I have.

Creeping ooze:

This 1 mana cost monster is more useful in such low cost battles as it has the ability to slowdown and if needed, can even give that 1 melee attack.

Having said that, it had very less role in this battle as all the limelight was stolen by pelacor conjurer and stitch leech as those 2 were significant in the win.

---

Furious chicken:

The first ever zero mana cost monster was there as a place holder and helped stitch leech in getting a blow if this wasn't there in this position.

---

Stitch Leech:

The hero of the battle is this stitch leech as it kept on adding the health because of the life leech ability it has and sneak ability also helped in getting rid of the 2 second line monsters in naga assassin and uraeus.

---

Celestial harpy:

It got removed even before it could take off because of the sneak attack of uraeus and wasn't able to contribute much.

---

Chaos agent:

The last monster in the lineup is the chaos agent and it was mainly placed to protect stitch leech and celestial harpy from getting early attack and it tolerated for 1 round and got removed by uraeus in the first round.

---

The battle went for 5 rounds and celestial harpy got removed from scatter shot of naga assassin in the first round itself and stitch leech was able to attack back to back to remove naga assassin and uraeus and then the front monster of opponent wily coyotian even though it could resist for one or 2 rounds, but pelacor conjurer also kept evading it's attack and finally, stitch leech removed it to finish the battle.

It was a good one and I am happy that, I could come up as winner in this although another blow from uraeus would have removed the stitch leech and finished battle as a losing one for me.

But it was one of those days where, luck was on my side and I could win this.

Thanks for reading this, hope you enjoyed reading this battle and I have the link shared above for you to go thru the battle.
