Feels good to be back again after this long break. But, even when I was away, I kept playing splinterlands and was also keeping an eye on the contests. So, I hopped back on as soon as I became available to continue my work here. And I'm looking forward to continuing this sharing and also planning to start a new project about splinterlands. I'll soon share the announcement post. Now, let's talk about today's topic.
- I'm submitting this post to confirm my participation in the weekly share your battle challenge. It's a contest where you'll need to play a ranked battle in splinterlands with a specific card and then share your battle report in the Hive Blockchain following some rules mentioned in the contest's announcement post.

- I decided to share my battle but I didn't have the specific card. This week's challenge is to play with a Neutral monster from the chaos legion card series named LEGIONNAIRE ALVAR.So, I decided to purchase the card from the market. But, it was out of my budget and then I rented a level 1 card from the market and played a few matches until I got the one I need to write a battle report.
LEGIONNAIRE ALVAR
The LEGIONNAIRE ALVAR is a neutral legendary monster from the chaos legion card series with a melee attacking ability. This monster costs 9 mana caps to use in battle. It has a level 3 damage-dealing melee attacking ability, 2 attacking speeds and especially life capacity and 8 shields. These shields are way more effective because of the special ability that this card has. The ability is named VOID ARMOR. Normally magic attack can directly hit any monster's life while avoiding the shields. But, because of this ability, enemy magic attacks will hit its armour/shield first and then his life. Having 8 shields makes this monster invincible to the range and melee attacking monsters and this special ability of Void Armor helps it to stand strong against mighty magic attacks. In my opinion, this monster is the perfect card to use in front of any lineup. I'm planning on purchasing this card permanently as it will surely help me to win battles and grow my rank.

I used an earth summoner with the ability to increase the magic attacking ability of every friendly monster by +1 named Obsidian. And my opponent used a fire summoner with the ability to increase +1 melee attacking ability and +1 life capacity. To be honest, both of these summoners are my favourite and strong in their own way. I don't think it'll be wise to compare them neither they are comparable.
Lineup:
Normally, I used the LEGIONNAIRE ALVAR in the first position. But, this was a 99mana cap battle and for this reason, to be safe, I used another strong monster in the second position.
In the second position, I used the Unicorn Mustang. This card is a beast with fast attacking speed, strong melee attacking ability, huge life capacity and a special ability named, Void. This ability helps the monster to get half damage from the enemy magic attacks and it makes the card also strong enough to hold the first position of the lineup.
Then in the third position, I used a healer. This is a chaos legion earth monster with a magic attacking ability named Goblin Psychic. But, this is not it. The speciality of the monster is its Tank Heal ability of it. With this ability, this monster can heal the monster in the first position of the lineup. This is a huge help for front-line monsters to hold the position.
Then I used the REGAL PERYTON in the fourth position. This monster is the one with the fastest attacking ability in my lineup, This one is also a magic attacking monster. And the speciality of this monster is the Flying ability of it. This helps the monster to dodge ranged and melee attacks from enemy monsters.
And then I used the Goblin Tower in the fifth position. This one is a ranged attacking monster with 2 ranged attacking abilities, 3 life and 3 shields. The speciality of this monster is the Blast ability of this monster. This ability helps the monster to provide blast damage to any monster that is next to the monster that gets hit by the ranged attack of this monster.
And in the end, I used the MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN. This monster is also a magic-attacking monster. And it is one of the strongest ones. This monster costs 9 mana caps to use in battle. It has 10 life capacities, 2 magic attacking abilities and 2 attacking speeds. There's a reason behind using it at the end of the lineup. This monster's special ability is Taunt. Because of this ability, all the enemy monsters attack only this monster and this gives a chance to my other monsters to stay alive and finish the battle. I used to use it in the second position as a backup. But, it looks like this monster sacrifices itself and dies first. So, I decided to use it at the end as this monster is already going to die quickly and my frontline is also set as strong enough to hold the position against any attacks.
This was all about my lineup. I won the battle, but it wouldn't be an easy battle to win if my opponent hadn't made a simple mistake. I don't know why, but he/she used a monster with the REACH ability in the first position instead of a strong monster that was supposed to use in the first position.
