BATTLE RULE AND MANA
To play this battle, 47 mana and two types of battle rules were given, of which the first battle rule was ARMORED UP and the second was TIS BUT SCRATCHES. Because of the first rule, all cards get two shields. And in the second battle rule i.e. Cripple, Each time an enemy is hit by a Monster with Cripple it loses one max health.

Legendari
HARKLAW
This card is of 8 mana. Performs 2 Melee attacks with 2 attacking speeds. It has three shields and 9 health. Because I have used this legendary card level 2 in this battle. That's why it has two types of abilities in this battle. The first ability is SHIELD and the second is IMMUNITY!. I put this card in first place. In SHIELD, it reduces the damage of the opposing team's Melee or ranged attacks. And it removes negative effects in immunity ability.It has also cripple due to battle rule. And because of ARMORED up battle rule and Ravenhood warden's protect ability it has 4 more shield in this Battle.
ARACHNE THUG
This is my one of the favourite card which only costs 6 mana.Performs 3 Melee attacks with 3 attacking speeds.It has three shields and five health. but in this battle it has total 7 shield because of armored up battle rule and protect ability. It has its own REACH ability in which it can attack from second places as well.In this battle, I have used this card as a level 3 gold card. it has also cripple due to battle rule means Each time an enemy is hit by a Monster with Cripple it loses one max health.
SILENT SHA-VI
This is my favorite card. It is 5 Mana card. Normally does 2 melee attacks with 3 attacking speed. But because I have used it at level 3 in this battle, it is doing 3 MELEE attacks with four attacking speeds. It has five health. And it has the SNEAK ability, which allows it to attack the last card of the opponent's team. I put this card in the third position because it can attack from any position here. normally it has no shield but because of ARMORED UP battle rUle and RAVENHOOD WARDEN's protect ability, it has total 4 shield in this battle. and it has also cripple due to battle rule.Means Each time an enemy is hit by a Monster with Cripple it loses one max health.
CABALIST
This card is of 7 mana. This is my Favourite card Performs two magic attacks with two attacking speeds. It has 5 health. Because it attacks magic, it can attack from everywhere. The name of the ability it has is AMPLIFY. Meaning that increases Magic Reflect, Return Fire, and Thorns damage to all enemy monsters by 1. But I have used level 3 gold in this battle . so it has also GAINT killer ability. normally it has no shield but because of ARMORED UP battle rUle and Ravenhood Warden's Protect ability, it has total 4 shield in this battle. and it has also cripple due to battle rule. That's mean Each time an enemy is hit by a Monster with Cripple it loses one max health.
RAVENHOOD WARDEN
The RAVENHOOD WARDEN card is only worth four mana. Makes A Rangeattack with two speeds. In this battle, I have used it on level 2. It has Protect ability which gives two shields to all partner cards. I put this card on the fifth position. This card also has the CRIPPLE ability due to the battle rule, meaning each time an enemy is hit by a Monster with Cripple it loses one max health.
RAA
I think this is the most dangerous card. Which is of 12 Mana. Makes 3 Ranged attacks with 2 attacking speed. It has 7 health. Normally it has 3 types of abilities. The first one is Flying, the second one is Double Strike and the third one is Scattershot. But in this battle. It does ranged attacks twice in each round, which means it does 6 ranged attacks in EVERY round. I put this card on the last position so that I can get a chance to attack it as many times as possible. Flying-Has an increased chance of evading Melee or Ranged attacks from Monsters who do not have the Flying ability.
Double Strike-Monster attacks twice each round.
Scattershot-Ranged and Magic attacks hit a random enemy target.
Cripple-Each time an enemy is hit by a Monster with Cripple it loses one max health.

Battle Result
DID MY STRATEGY WORKED?
Because I had to make a battle share challenge and I also have a lot of good cards in death that are two or more levels. So I used THADDIUS brood which is a level 3 summoner. I had an idea that he would come with the Element of Death, but had no idea that he would use ASTRAL ENTITY Summoner which has three abilities and is also Legendary. But I put Harklaw, a card with my Shield ability and Immunity ability, in first position. Which reduces the damage of the opposing team's melee and ranged attacks and removes the negative effect. On the second and third positions I put 3 melee attack cards. Of which Silent has the ability Sneak which is known to eliminate the last card of the opposing team. I used a card with the protect ability, Ravenhood warden, despite the Armored Up rule, which played a very important role in this battle as it gave two shields to all cards. I put my most dangerous card, RAA, at the end, which does a total of 6 ranged attacks in one round. Because it has double strike ability. I feel that no matter how strong the opponent comes with good cards, but if you have good position and selection of cards, you can win any battle. So you can say that my strategy worked.
DO YOU LIKE PLAY WITH ARMORED UP BATTLE RULE
I liked this battle rule a lot in this battle, because the other battle rule that came with it was the one with the cripple ability. However when Armored Up is the battle rule I mostly play with magic attack cards. Because magic attack cards directly target health. I really liked this rule in this battle because because of this rule all the cards had two shields. And the cripple rule, in which if the opponent's card has a shield and my cards deal damage to it, it will lose one of its health even if it has no other shields. Although I always have more fun playing with Magic Attack when this rule is in place. Overall I like this battle rule as I like to play with magic attack then also get 2 shield to protect them.
