This post is my continuous attempt to explain how I approach the various kinds of Splinterlands battle rulesets. I have so far shared my approach to Twenty Three (23) Rulesets, here's the last one on WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU and I have come to introduce you to another.

But, before I tell you all about it, there's plenty days left, so if you want to know other battle mages secrets and take part by sharing with us yours, simply visit 👉BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge!

Splinterlands seeks to sharpen player skills by allowing us explore various strategies via rulesets. I have tried to study a few cards especially with the newly introduced rulesets, giving one more reasons to know what cards strongly suits them.

Before the start of any battle, each player is shown what ruleset is allowed in battle and it is extremely beneficial to read and strategize accordingly. The ruleset secret I will be sharing with you to in this post is the STAMPEDE

STAMPEDE RULESET implies that the Trample ability can trigger multiple times per attack if the trampled Monster is killed.

Hence, Players are advised to

Higher HP and speed are the key in this ruleset.^(a) 

Dispel helps to remove Trample.^(b) 

Possibilus the Wise soars in this ruleset^(c) 

I thoroughly enjoy this ruleset and have realized the DRAGON + LIFE SPLINTER to be most helpful for one important reason, since the Water Element wasn't active.

I have a battle to demonstrate this ruleset and a possible lineup that works for low mana battle. Before I show you the battle, I'll introduce you to the monsters and why I picked them.

📜STAMPEDE + TARGET PRACTICE + BROKEN ARROWS DUEL: A DEEP DIVE INTO MY LINEUP📜

RULE SET
STANDARD	MODIFICATIONS TO THE RULES AND MECHANICS
MANA CAPACITY
AVAILABLE ELEMENT	only Fire🔥, Life🌬 and Dragon🐲 elements allowed

This was a High mana cap battle with the BROKEN ARROWS, TARGET PRACTICE and spotlight ruleset of the week STAMPEDE

📌TIPS TO NOTE ABOUT THESE RULESETS:

TARGET PRACTICE: All ranged and magic attack monsters inherit the Snipe ability. Thus, it's essential to keep a robust non-attacking or magic monster in the second position, equipped with abilities like Shield, Void, and Magic Reflect. Triage is a godsend in this ruleset, making it a vital tactic.

STAMPEDE: In this adrenaline-pumping rule, the Trample ability can activate repeatedly if the trampled monster is defeated. The key to triumph here is high HP and speed. Using Dispel to eliminate Trample can provide a critical advantage.

BROKEN ARROWS: Ranged attackers take a backseat, making high HP tanks with the Void ability crucial. Backup your tank with healing support, and strategies like Thorns or Magic Reflect can further tilt the odds in your favor.

⚔️ TEAM LINE-UP & REASONS I ENGAGED THEM IN BATTLE ⚔️

---

✅LILY SHIELDPAW (Summoner)

Don't be fooled by Lily Shieldpaw's endearing appearance. Behind those innocent eyes lies the heart of a fierce warrior. Known in the Splinterlands as one of the youngest Dragon Summoners, she has an innate bond with the creatures she summons, allowing her to bolster their health by +1❤️. Many an opponent have underestimated her due to her size, only to be overwhelmed by her tactical brilliance and the power she brings to her allies.

---

Camouflage: This ability allows her monsters to remain undetected, preventing them from being targeted unless they're in the forefront.

---

Triage: Lily's healing prowess isn't just limited to front-line warriors. With this ability, she tends to the most wounded among her ranks, ensuring that her team remains fighting fit.

---

---

✅VRUZ - Frontline offense

Vruz is not just a warrior; he's a martyr. With a solemn vow to protect his allies, he stands in the frontline, undeterred by the mightiest of foes. His presence on the battlefield isn't just a physical deterrent but also a moral boost for his comrades.

---

Sneak: Vruz doesn't just confront the enemy head-on. With the sneak ability, he targets the last enemy monster, catching them off-guard.

---

Martyr: In death, Vruz finds his true purpose. Falling in battle, he boosts the stats of adjacent allies, ensuring they carry on his legacy.

---

---

✅KRALUS - The double-edged sword

Kralus is a legend, a beast of lore, known to trample her enemies with sheer force. Her majestic wings not only give her the advantage of flight but also make her a menacing sight on the battlefield.

Heal: On the battlefield, Kralus is not just an attacker but also a healer, regenerating her health each round.

---

Flying: With this ability, she evades many ground-based attacks, making her a challenging target.

---

Immunity: Kralus is resistant to negative status effects, ensuring that her might remains undiminished.

---

Strengthen: All her allies gain increased health, making the team a formidable force.

---

---

✅TIME MAGE - The Rusticator

Time Mage is a master of temporal arts. With a mere flick of his wrist, he can manipulate time, slowing down foes and rusting their armors. His presence ensures that enemies are always at a disadvantage.

Slow: Enemies find their speed reduced, making them easier targets.

---

Rust: Time Mage's ability to accelerate time causes enemy armors to rust, reducing their effectiveness.

---

---

✅OSHUUR CONSTANTIA - The Resurrector & Healer

Oshuur is like the guardian of the afterlife, ensuring that those who fall in battle get a second chance. With ethereal wings and a staff pulsating with life energy, he's a beacon of hope for his allies.

Resurrect: Oshuur can bring back fallen allies, granting them another shot at glory.

---

Reflection Shield: He's immune to indirect damage, making him a tough opponent to take down.

---

Tank Heal: Frontline allies find their health restored, thanks to Oshuur's healing prowess.

---

---

✅ADELADE BRIGHTWING - The shield repairer

Adelade, with her luminous wings, is a sight to behold. Known as the 'Healer of the Skies', she soars above, mending wounds and bolstering defenses.

Flying: Her wings aren't just for show. They help her evade many attacks.

---

Repair: Damaged armors are restored under her watchful gaze.

---

Resurrect & Immunity: Like Oshuur, she too can resurrect allies and is immune to negative effects.

---

---

✅DRAGON MONSTERS - Backline Attacker

The Dragon Jumper is a creature of agility and precision. With a dragon's might and a jumper's speed, he swoops down on enemies, causing chaos and destruction.

Flying: He can soar above, dodging many attacks with ease.

---

Opportunity: Targets the weakest enemy, ensuring a quick takedown.

---

Stun & Snare : Enemies with flight find their wings clipped, and there's a chance they may be stunned, missing their turn.

---

---

Players should be wise to place Higher HP and speed monsters as they are key in this ruleset^(a)

✅ This is why I have placed VRUZ in first position as he serves perfectly.

✅ Because the Ruleset disallowed Ranged monsters, I decided to backup my tank with healers like OSHUUR CONSTANTIA, and Magic Reflectors like KRALUS to further tilt the odds in my favor.

✅ Also, Triage by LILY SHEILDPAW is a godsend in this ruleset, making it a vital tactic.

📌I very well know POSSIBILUS THE WISE is best for Stampede ruleset and also that DESERT DRAGON will absolutely stampede the heck out of enemies monsters when given the opportunity, but this ruleset came with it's complications of not haveing Water splinter active and also I didn't have Desert Dragon. Do note that TRIAGE played a massive role here, let's get into that and see. So without further ado, let us now enter the battleground and see if my lineup works or not.📌

As the dust settled and the two summoners, Lily Shieldpaw and Enemy-Sthispa, stepped onto their summoner stones, a palpable tension gripped the air. With Lily's team led by the indomitable Vruz and Sthispa's by the wily Agor Longtail, the stage was set.
