Hello everyone. Today I am going to share my battle.
Battle details: I played with death splinter and my opponent used a water splinter against me. Fire and Earth teams were banned in this battle.

It was a battle with 17 mana cap and three rules:

Fog Of War: Monsters lose Sneak, Snipe and Opportunity abilities.
Summoner, MIMOSA NIGHTSHADE level 3. This summoner removes healing abilities from my enemies, lowers enemy ranged attack power and gives my team Void ability.
First Position, VENARI MARKSRAT level 5. The death of this monster makes nearby monsters more powerful.
Second Position, HYDRA level 3. This monster has decent melee attack and three abilities- Heal, Thorns and Retaliate.
This battle mana cap was very limiting. I could only afford either several weak monsters or a few stronger ones. So I decided to use sacrifice rat strategy and make my other monster more powerful. As my main weapon I choose HYDRA because it has Healing and can defend against melee attackers.
My rat died soon. Just like I hoped. Rat's death made my HYDRA more powerful. But now it was alone against entire opponent's team. Few times I was on the verge of losing. But my Hydra healed it's wounds and prevailed by slaying all the enemies.
I hope that you enjoyed my battle. If you would also like to start playing splinterlands and earning by making posts about your battles or by making art inspired by splinterlands please consider using my referral link: https://steemmonsters.com?ref=fieryfootprints
