BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge! - Equal Opportunity Ruleset

Hi Guys! In this post we are exploring on another Splinterlands ruleset. The ruleset we are focusing on is Equal Opportunity.

In an Equal Opportunity ruleset, all units gain the Opportunity ability which allows them to attack the unit with the lowest health on the enemy team. This ruleset also allows melee units to hit from anywhere in the lineup.

Lets take a look at a Silver league Modern ranked match with Equal Opportunity as one of the ruleset. The battle restrictions are:
Equal Opportunity and Lost Legendaries with a max mana of 23. Only Fire, Earth and Dragon splinters are allowed in this battle. The Video for the Full Battle can be seen here:

TEAM SETUP:

Splinter	Mana Cost	Position	Reason
Lobb Lowland	6	Summoner	After well over a year of doing Guild brawls and opening Gladius pack, I finally gotten myself a single Quora Towershead a few days ago. This ruleset seems to scream at me to use Quora so I decided to have a go. Lobb Lowland would allows me to deploy a Gladiator unit like Quora in a ranked battle.
Mycelic Morphoid	1	1st	This is just a cannon fodder to take the hit from the opponent first attack.
Venari Marksrat	3	2nd	My 2nd cannon fodder. More importantly Venari Marksrat has Martyr which would give my Quora +1 to all stats when Marksrat died.
Quora Towershead	10	3rd	This is my main DPS unit. Aim to grow it into a monster with the Bloodlust ability and neighbouring Martyr units.
Fungus Flinger	3	4th	Another low hp unit with Martyr screaming to the opponent to kill it.
Total Mana:	23

Opponent Lineup:

My opponent went with a Fire splinter lineup full of low health monsters. What a great setup for my Quora Towershead to feast on.

End of Round 1:

My Quora straight away went to work and took out an opponent unit to increase its stats to 3 magic attack, 3 melee attack and 4 speed. I then proceed to lose the rest of my units. By the end of first round, my Quora has grown to 5 magic attack, 5 melee attack and 6 speed! Hahaha!

End of Round 2:

Start of round 2, my Quora quickly dispatched off 2 enemy units in succession thereby raising its stats to 7 magic attack, 7 melee attack, 8 speed and 16 health. The remaining 3 enemy units then proceed to miss all their attacks on my Quora cause by now my Quora is too fast for them to land a proper hit.

End of Round 3:

Round 3 is a repeat of round 2. Quora took out another 2 enemies and its stats jump to 9 magic attack, 9 melee attack, 10 speed and 18 health. And of course the enemy remaining unit try to hit back in vain.

End of Round 4:

When Quora took out the last enemy units, it has grown to 10 magic attack, 10 melee attack, 11 speed and 19 health. Truly a monster. Why did it take so long for me to pull this unit? I could have so much more fun!

KEY STRATEGY
My strategy for this battle was simply to buff up my Quora with Martyr units so it can grow into a monster.

SUMMARY
In a Equal Opportunity ruleset, try to avoid using low health units unless it is units with Martyr that can boost your main DPS. But do make sure the unit with Martyr has a lower health than the unit you wanted to boost as units with Opportunity will always target the unit with lower health first.
