Good day everyone splinterlands community, zactian here. Today I'll blog about another weekly challenge, Battle Mage Secrets, and share my strategy.

Comment below with your opinions on the potential lineups at this level. Is it effective for this battle ruleset? Let's see and match up with the Five Alive rule set.

Five Alive

Only upto 5 units can be used in this battle.

INTO THE BATTLE:

Rule Set

---

Recommended summoner to use FIVE ALIVE for this match:

In this case, I recommend Immortalis for assuming that opponent will prioritize using a magic strategy, Quix the Devious for assuming that opponent will prioritize an in-range attack strategy, and Lily Shieldpaw and Grandmaster Rathe if you assume that the opponent will use melee which I think very rare considering there is a Briar Patch Rule set. It depends on what you see in the battle history of the opponent.

Note: I only have limited cards but they are useful in some rule sets and I will try my best to win with existing cards. So if you want a high chance of winning, I advise you to rent or buy useful or stronger cards for most rule sets.

Immortalis

• Decrease opponent units' health by 1, giving Void and Shatter abilities to friendly units.

• • Great option for a high mana limit rule set, I wanted to select this instead of Quix the Devious because I wanted to take advantage of the magic defense and I also wanted to use a magic counter-abilities strategy. Given that the Five Alive Rule Set has a 55 mana maximum and that the majority of the units are magic-type attackers, there's a good probability that the opponent will use the Dragon Element.
    Because of the Lost Legendary rule set, it is limited in what it can accomplish with powerful melee units. Although most of this unit element moves slowly, it can still do reasonable damage and is tank-type when it comes to magic damage.

Link of the battle: RUMBLE

My Lineup

First position - Arkemis the Bear

• Acts as a tank in the first position because of its massive health and with useful abilities to Protect, Halvinh, Forcefield, and Enrage.

Second position - Regal Peryton

• Acts as extra damage and tank if the opponent executes my Arkemis the Bear.

Third position - Mycelic Slipspawn

• Acts as a taunt for those Range and Magic attacks from the opponent, this is also good because it has Forcefield ability if the opponent uses equal or more than 5 damage that will trigger and only take 1 damage.

Fourth position - Goblin Psychic

• Support damage that will help my Arkmemis the Bear to heal and survive most of the rounds and Debuff the opponent's magic damage by 1.

Fourth position - Goblin Tower

• I have no choice but to pick this because of decent damage and with blast ability, it can considerably high damage. I know that the opponent will probably use the Earth or Dragon-Earth combo and use Mycelic and Arkemis the Bear both of them have Forcefield ability. Hoping this will hit the opponent and do damage blasts.

Analyzing Battle

The opponent uses Immortalis, I can see that it has Bramble Pixie, Suidae Shaman, Uloth Dhampir, Mycelic Slipspawn, and Arkemis the Bear all of them are pretty strong in terms of damage. But since I also have Mycelic Slipspawn that has Forcefield Uloth Dhampir range 5 damage will only deal 1 damage to my unit Mycelic Slipspawn. Suidae Shaman also didn't do much damage in this match because I have Void ability on all my units. Overall the opponent's strategy is not bad with the position line up is good, it is just that most of them didn't quite deal much damage, only the Arkemis the Bear and Bramble Pixie can do massive damage to my Arkemis the Bear. Will my Arkemis the Bear be executed early? let's see in the battle.

Effective or not?

That one is a close match, luckily my Goblin Tower didn't miss the attack and executed the opponent Bramble Pixie. if it misses the attack I would probably this luck strategy and share this blog😂. There's a difference in speed when only the Goblin Pqyshic and Goblin Tower are left on my team and Goblin Tower is the MVP in this match in that it executes the opponent units. With the luck difference, I win this match😅.

I wouldn't recommend my lineup strategy but if you have stronger cards at your disposal use them with useful abilities to win this match, especially in the high mana cap rule set in lost legendaries.

My favorite line-up in the element is water where most units found are high in speed, If you want to use Water Line-up, please read over some of my blogs, hoping they could be useful. 😊
