Splinterlands Battle | Holy Protection + Broken Arrows.
Background Source & then edited with PixelLab.
Holy Protection: All monsters have the divine shield ability.
This divine shield ability allows all the monsters to ignore the first attack which works like an extra shield for the beginning attacks.
Broken Arrows: May attack monsters may not be used in battles.
No ranged attacker can be used in battles when the battle has this particular ruleset. You're gonna need to use only melee and magic attackers om that case.
Now I'm going to show and talk about my battle strategy with Holy Protection + Broken Arrows rulesets and yes, both the rulesets came upon the same battle.

Link to the battle.
I've found an opponent with the water splinter against my earth deck where I've used some of my favorite earth monsters and some of em were in gold foil. The Broken Arrows ruleset didn't allow any of the team to use any ranged attackers on the battlefield so both of us used only melee and magic attackers although I usually don't use ranged attackers when I play the earth deck with the "Obsidian" as the summoner. The Holy Protection already provided the "Divine Shield" ability to each and every monster on the battlefield. My Queen Mycelia provided 2 shields to each of my monsters for having the "Protect" ability and both I and my opponent team had a monster with the "Tank Heal" ability. For being the highest speed holder, my Regal Peryton started the battle with its attack but it was of no use as there was the Holy Protection upon every monster. And my Regal Peryton digested the "Divine Shield" of the opponent's Serpent of Eld and that opponent monster didn't have the special protection anymore. The opponent's Serpent of Eld then attacked and digested the "Divine Shield" of my Venari Knifer and my Venari Knifer got the chance to attack the opponent monster for having the "Thorns" ability even after not losing anything at all and the opponent monster lost 2 shields although my Venari Knifer missed the next shot as the opponent monster had the "Dodge" ability that has an increased chance of evading melee or ranged attacks. Then the opponent's Ice Pixie attacked and killed 1 health of my Venari Knifer while the opponent's Deeplurker attacked my Fungus Fiend but it was protected by the Holy Protection. And the opponent's Merdaali Guardian healed 2 health of the opponent's Serpent of Eld for having the "Tank Heal" ability. But my Khmer Princess and Goblin Psychic didn't allow the opponent's Serpent of Eld on the battlefield anymore. After healing 2 health of my Venari Knifer for having the "Tank Heal" ability, my Goblin Psychic then attacked and killed the opponent's Serpent of Eld for good.
There came a new round where both the teams kept fighting for some time and the "Holy Protection" was still intact for some monsters. The opponent's Deeplurker had to leave the battlefield in the meantime.
There came the third round where the opponent's Albatross had to leave the battlefield at first and then the opponent's Scavo Hireling first lost the Holy Protection and then left the battlefield. Then the opponent's Merdaali Guardian came forward to the first position and after losing the Holy Protection by my Queen Mycelia, my Goblin Psychic then attacked and killed the opponent monster for good, and the opponent's only monster Ice Pixie then came forward to the first position with the intact Holy Protection. The opponent monster had only one health and one shield and if it didn't have the Holy Protection on it then it'd die with the next attack as the next attack was from my Regal Peryton which is a magic attacker that attackers the health ignoring the shield. But the Holy Protection came on the way and got digested. Then my Venari Knifer attacked and destroyed the shield of the opponent monster first and the opponent monster got a chance to attack my monster as well although it was nothing against my whole team. My Queen Mycelia then threw the last attack and the opponent team had to leave the battlefield.
The battle got finished in round 4 while my team had all the monsters alive. It was not my fault that my team did better. And 4 of my monsters still had the Holy Protection intact which means, only 2 of my monsters got hit by the opponent team.
