Splinterlands Battle Mage Challenge: Little League

in #hive-13323last year

This week's Battle Mage rule set challenge was Little League in which you can only use monsters and summoners which cost 4 mana or below.

Little League general strategy....

Well there's not too much to say, other than opt for the best splinter with the best low mana cards: dragon and fire spring to mind.

What really makes the difference is having a decent tank with relatively high health I find, one that can withstand the first attack.

I also tend to prefer an attacking rather than a defensive strategy, it seems to work better wiping out your opponent's monsters asap!

Little League battle exemplar

The battle below shows a battle featuring an attacking line up!

Mana and rulesets:

  • just little league
  • 40 mana, so OK!

Summoner - Darla for the attack!

  • Cerberus - Beta but one of the best 4 mana tanks!
  • Manticore - works well alongside Cerberus
  • Beatle Queen - 2 magic attack
  • Venari Spell Smith - not sure why?!?
  • Spark Pixies - great speed and damage
  • Fire Spitter - great damage and flying, useful for a potential miss with sneak.

The battle...

  • round 1 - I take out my opponent's sethropod for no loss, shame my 4 damage from Cerberus is wasted on a 1 shield
  • round 2 - I take out the Seaweed straight off the bat, lose my tank, but take out Ooze
  • round 3 - I take out the Archer, looking good for me! And three damage sinks the Mandarin
  • round 4 - now it's all over, I just polish off my opponent's final ranged card doing no damage now.

Final battle analysis

My double tank with high health and attack worked very well. In retrospect I would have been better off with maybe an opportunity attack instead of the spellsmith, or another 2 magic damage.

Little League final thoughts...

This is one of those rulesets you just have to play to learn, and you'll get a feel for what cards work best with 4 mana!

The screenshot taken is very clear, i guessed you used laptop for your Spl games and not mobile. By the way you didn't tell us if you win or lost the battle
