~ Hello Splinterlands Lovers ~
Welcome back to my blog,
@queen-silvia, In this Social Media Challenge, I am going to share to all of you one of a strategy which some players used to make all of the opponent's attack goes to one direction. Yes, the ability named Taunt. This ability is pretty cool in some ruleset, for example explosive weaponry. In that condition, we can put taunt monster and monster with reflection shield next to him to prevent the blast damage goes to other monsters. There are lots of other strategies can be build using taunt monster and this article will give you another one of the strategy, so check this out 😘

Well, the battle has 60 mana cost which is very high to help players using all of their strongest high mana monsters. Moreover, the ruleset is opportunity which makes the battle much more interesting since all of monsters can attack in any position. Almost all splinters are available except dragon.
Icon | Ruleset | Explanation |
| Equal Opportunity | All Monsters have the Opportunity ability. Speed and HP is the trick here. The higher speed will increase the chance to win the match. Keep lower HP monsters in front. |
| Stampede | The Trample ability can trigger multiple times per attack if the trampled Monster is killed. The way to counter monster with trample is using dispel monster. It helps to remove trample. |

- LINE UP PREVIEW -
Summoner
Chanseus the Great
The summoner I used for the taunt strategy is Chanseus the Great since it has very great defence abilities, repair, tank heal and resurrect. All of those abilities help the taunt monster in the last position immortal. I used Shieldbearer in the last position so Chanseus will help to repair 2 armor, restore 1/3 of Shieldbearer maximum health and bring back him into life with 1 health point if he is being killed in the battlefield.
Monster
Uriel the Purifier
As the tank monster, I chose Uriel the Purifier since he has very high health points (12) and heal ability, so every turn, he can restore 4 health points. This ability and stats makes Uriel the purifier one of the best life tank monster. Another amazing skill is recharge. This ability will allow him to attack the enemy 3 times higher than his original attack. This kind of attack could kill the enemy in one turn. At level 3, he has Flying ability. Along with 3 speed the chance to evade the opponent's attack who don't have flying ability is high.
Djinn Renova
The second monster is Djinn Renova. I used the Level 5 of her since in that stage, she has unlocked triage ability which can heal friendly monster in the backline that has taken the most damage. The amount of heal is the maximum health divided by 3, rounded down. Minimum is 2. The triage will be very useful to heal Shieldbearer in every round. Since I used lv.5 Shield bearer so Renova will restore 3 health points in each round. Her second ability is strengthen which increased the friendly health point by 1.
Adelade Brightwing
The Third monster is Adelade Brightwing. In level 3, She has 4 abilities, flying, resurrect, repair and immunity. The repair ability will restore shield to friendly monster whose shield has broken the most. This is the main ability in the battle since it will restore 2 Shieldbearer armour in each round. The flying ability will prevent her to take 2 damage in earthquake ruleset and increase the chance to evade enemies attack who don't have flying ability. The immunity will make her resistance against negative status effect such as poison, headwinds, silence, Demoralize, etc.
Spirit Hoarder
The forth monster is Spirit Hoarder. This monster is belong to legendary neutral monster and has triage, dispel and blind in level 3. Just like Djinn Renova, the triage ability will restore 1/3 of Shield bearer maximum health. The dispel will remove all of the opponent's positive status, such as strengthen, inspire, Divine Shield, etc. the third ability is blind which can increase the chance for the opponent's melee and ranged attack monsters to miss their target when attacking.
Lone Boatman
The fifth monster is Lone Boatman. This monster has similar abilities to Adelade Brightwing, repair, which can restore up to 2 Shieldbearer's armour in each turn. His main ability started from lv.1 is snipe ability which make him able to attack the opponent who has no attack, magic or ranged attack in the backline started from the smallest position. for example if there are 2 magic monster in second and third position, Lone boatman will attack magic monster in second first rather than third.
Shieldbearer
The last monster who is also the main character in this article is Shieldbearer. His main ability is taunt which makes all of the opponent's attack goes directly to him (except the monster who has scattershot ability, it's not affected by taunt). The taunt ability is very great ability as it can protect the friendly monster who has small health points. As we already know that all of the attacks will go to Shield bearer, we need to support him using triage, repair and resurrect ability. That's the reason why I put many monsters with triage, repair and resurrect. 😁
- BATTLE ANALYSIS -
Well, for now, let's jump into the battle analysis.
Round 1
In the first round we can see the pyre used all of his best monsters with high mana, such as Chain Golem, Grum Flameblade, Djinn Inferni and Legionnaire Alvar. he set up high speed monsters too such as Pyromaniac and Exploding rats. In the other side, life team has arranged the team with taunt ability in the last position, 2 monster with triage ability, 2 monsters with repair ability and 1 summoner with triage, repair and resurrect ability. this all combined skills will work together as a unity to keep Shieldbearer alive. In this round, we can see exploding rats and Pyromaniac died after getting magic attack.
Round 2
In the second round Djinn Inferni died after getting hit by magic attack too. Although they have high speed using Pyre as their summoner, they can not avoid magic attack. In the other side all of the fire splinter team looks useless since Shieldbearer health points are still 12 with 2 armour. Thanks to 3 repair and 3 triage ability.
Round 3
In this round, no change happened in the game. Life team is still protecting Shieldbearer perfectly. Once he is back to his normal health, the triage ability healed some other monsters. In the end of the battle, we can see Chain golem health points is just 2 left and looks like he will die in the next round.
Round 4
As predicted, Chain Golem died in this round and all of the life team attack Legionnaire Alvar. His health point is just 3 left while all of life splinters health points and armours are still in 100% state. With the right strategy, we can win the match very easily.
Round 5
In this round, Legionnaire Alvar died. and Grum Flameblade left in the fire team. Although he has 8 melee attack against Uriel the Purifier with his giant killer ability, Uriel has armour which restored in every round which makes him resistance against any physical attack.
Round 6
Uriel 12 melee attack finished Grum in the end of the match while all of life splinters has no scratch at all. What a wonderful match in my opinion.
- STRATEGY EXPLANATION -
As we can see in the above picture, life splinter strength is the way how they can restore some health and armour each round which makes them immortal. As we can expect that all of the enemies monsters will attack taunt monster, we have to put monsters with repair, triage and resurrect ability to keep him alive so that we can defeat enemy without any life splinter being killed.

Silvia, please get rid of this section next time. This is an improvement suggestion.
No picture needed. In stead describe in bullets why you chose that monster, in the funny way of your.
That will make you stand out from the template posters! Your goal is to stand out from generic SL post. That should be easy.
Excellent effort otherwise! Keep it up.
Dear Azircon,
Yeah, Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will try to make my own style. hmm...., I'll start to design it today.😉
Thanks for sharing! - @azircon
good post. Try to detach from money and vote, and you will see vote will come. Also try and detach yourself from typical SL template. You can stand tall on your own.
Alright azircon,
I'll try my best in thenext post.
Thank you so much for the advice :)
I choose Gargoya Devil for the giveaway.

Thank you my friend, I will join all of your giveaway as well.
Your post is more amazing :)
The facts and analysis are very strong as always, and your formatting is great. But this is exactly why I detest playing with life splinter. Repair and heal are two of my least fave abilities, so it is easy to see why I would dislike this splinter and strategy. Although it is strong, it is not something you will see me trying!
