Hello all #Splinterlands friends,
What makes you keep playing Splinterlands? Is it because you can #earn from it?
For me, it's a joy to beat a stronger opponent with the correct strategy.
And I would like to share with you my battle with a stronger opponent.

The battle ruleset

• 29 mana cap - a low mana cap battle
• Ruleset - Weak Magic and Melee Mayhem
• Splinter - Fire, Water, and Earth Splinter can be used in this battle
  

My team lineup

With these rulesets, I decided to use Water Splinter which I have some good melee monsters with high speed.

Summoner		Kelya Frendul - to have +1 speed and +1 armor to all my monsters. Faster means more advantage.
1st position		Halfling Refugee - this is one of my favorite Epic reward card. It costs only 1 mana but has 2 melee attacks and 6HP at level 1. So useful in many battles
2nd position		Noa the Just - I chose him because of his Rust ability, which reduces 2 armors from all enemy monsters
3rd position		Kulu Mastermind - good melee monster with Weapon Training ability. He will give 3 melee attacks to Noa the Just and Merdaali Guardian
4th position		Merdaali Guardian - can heal the tanker in the battle
5th position		River Hellondale - can revive the 1st died monster and give 1 additional melee attack to all melee monsters
6th position		Torrent Fiend - a 0 mana monster and protect the backline monsters from attacks

My opponent also chose Water Splinter with level 7 Kelya Frendul as the summoner. All of the monsters almost reach max level. When I saw this team lineup, I was not confident about winning this battle.
However, my team did well because it could utilize the best of Melee Mayhem ruleset.

That's all for now.
I hope you enjoy this battle and have a nice weekend!
