A Fun Low Mana Battle

I usually post about my Loot Chest openings in Splinterlands but today I had a fun battle and decided it would be interesting to share it since I used a great strategy and it was a battle in the diamond 1 league.

BATTLE

This battle has one of my biggest weaknesses in Splinterlands which is a low mana usage, unfortunately I am used to using powerful cards with a high mana cost and I always do badly when they are battles with little mana, but this time I used a very interesting strategy and made the battle very fun to watch.

My strategy starts with the summoner Lux Vega, she has a somewhat high mana cost and I could have used other summoners with a lower mana cost to save money, but I thought Lux Vega would be a great choice for this battle since she will increase the speed, health and armor of my monsters by +1 and this will make a big difference in the battle, especially since she has the Weak Magic rule.

I started talking about my choice of summoner but the right thing to do would be to start with the basics, which are the battle rules and in this case there are 3: Weak Magic, Ferocity and Up to Eleven.

• In the Weak Magic rule, magic attacks will cause damage to the armor first, so magic attacks will only cause damage to the monsters' health after the armor is destroyed.

• In the Ferocity rule, all monsters in the battle will gain the Fury ability and they will cause double damage against monsters that have the Taunt ability.

• In the Up to Eleven rule, all monsters will cause +1 additional damage with the abilities Retaliate, Corrosive Ward, Magic Reflect, Return Fire and Thorns.

Now that we know the rules of the battle, let's go back to the strategy with the monsters.

• My strategy to defend the Frontline and Backline was to use 2 monsters that have the Dodge ability, they are the Chaos Agent and the Venari Scout. With the help of the Dodge ability, they will have a +25% chance to dodge melee and ranged attacks. In this battle, this ability was essential to give me a big advantage over my opponent.

These 2 monsters that I mentioned before will be the basis of the battle. The Chaos Agent has no attack, so its only function will be to dodge the opponent's attacks and cause damage with its Backfire ability. It also has the Phase ability, so it can dodge magical attacks. Venari Scout has a strong attack and the ability Opportunity that will make him target my opponent's monster with the lowest stat, so in addition to protecting the backline, he will be very useful in eliminating my opponent's backline.

Now let's talk about the supports and in this battle I decided to use 2, which are Queen Mycelia and Scavo Hireling.

• Queen Mycelia will have the function of increasing the armor of my monsters by +2 with her ability Protect, she will reduce the armor of my opponent's monsters by -2 with her ability Rust and she will heal my backline monsters with her ability Triage.

• Scavo Hireling will have the function of restoring the armor of my monsters with his ability Repair.

For this battle, these 2 are excellent supports and will be essential to keep Venari Scout alive in the battle.

Lastly, I selected +2 monsters, which were Acid Shooter and Fungus Fiend.

• Acid Shooter doesn't have a big function, I just like using it because of its low mana cost and because it's a monster that can do a good amount of damage in battle.

• Fungus Fiend was selected because I had no mana left to spend and its mana cost is 0, but it does have a function in this battle and that is to reduce the speed of my opponent's monsters by -1 with its Slow ability.
  

  

Even though it was a battle with a low mana cost it was very exciting to watch and at some points I really thought I was going to lose but in the end everything worked out and I managed to win.
