SHARE YOUR BATTLE CHALLENGE: ANGELIC MANDARIN

Hello friends and splinterlands lovers, how are you today? After I completed my social media challenge this afternoon, I decided to sit down and write a battle challenge. I have a long journey I want to embark on Saturday, and I have a lot of things to do on Friday. Therefore, the best thing for me is to write both posts today.

ANGELIC MANDARIN is a rare water monster; I think I have used this monster in battle but could not recall vividly. The major reason I don't use this monster is that I have many monsters that can be used instead of angelic mandarin.
I only have angelic mandarin in level 1 while I have monsters that can be used instead of angelic mandarin in level 3, 4, and 5.
The day I saw angelic mandarin that contains level 5 in battle, I felt like I could get the monster in the market. This monster continued to heal the monsters taking damage from the back of the battle.
This triage ability is the most interesting ability I love in this monster. I have come across monsters with silence ability in battles and also use such monsters in battles. Monsters with silence ability are good when battle rules require magic monsters. There are battles where you are going to know that your opponent will use magic monsters, monsters with silence ability are good to reduce the magic attack of opponent magic monsters.

RULESET

FOG OF WAR: monsters lose their sneak and snipe abilities. When fog of war rule is given, monsters with sneak and snipe abilities would not be available when choosing monsters.

The moment I saw the summoner of my opponent that reduced the magic attack of opponent monsters, and I used magic monsters as my top priority in this battle. I began to think maybe I would win the battle.

BATTLE ARRANGEMENT

DJINN OSHANNUS: Oshannus was the best monster to lead the battle due to his high number of health, void and phase abilities. Combination of all these characteristics is what made djinn oshanuus became the leading monster in this battle.
Due to djinn oshannus' void ability could not allow death elemental to have any effect while attacking djinn oshannus.. in round 2 when cursed windku was eliminated, djinn oshnnus was still in the battle.

VENARI WAVESMITH: one of the abilities I love about venari wavesmith is the ability to protect. This ability made all friendly monsters get 2 additional armors of which any ranged monster has to damage the armor before the health. This was the reason in the first round that soul strangler attacked the armor as the first range monster that attacked my djinn oshannus. If there were no venari wavesmith in the battle, there wouldn’t be armor for djinn oshannus and soul strangler would have attacked the health of the monster directly.
Another thing that made me use venari wavesmith was the opportunity monsters I saw while selecting my monsters. I knew it would take a second round for an opportunity monster to destroy crustacean king because it will first damage the armor before the health unless the opportunity monster is magic m monster.

CRUSTACEAN KING: To make djinn osannus last longer in the battle, there was a call for crustacean king to be in the third position so that it would continue to increase the health of djinn oshannus.
I was aware that monsters with snipping ability would not be available in the battle; hence, I don’t need to be afraid of attacking my crustacean king in the middle. This was the reason djinn oshannus was not eliminated in the battle.

HALFLING ALCHEMIST: after thorough forecasting of monsters and summoners, I realized that my opponent may come up with a monster with a high number of melee, magic and ranged attacks in the first position. Halfling alchemist was the best monster to break the weapons; it broke the weapon of cursed windku that reduced the force of its attack.

ANGELIC MANDARIN: The monster for this week was placed there to contribute to the attack; its attack was minimal but contributed to the victory.

FURIOUS CHICKEN: According to battle rules, monsters with sneak and snipe abilities are not allowed. This simply means that there is a 25% probability of attacking from the back-line. A monster that could attack a furious chicken in this battle is an opportunity monster, and my thought was that my opponent would make use of the opportunity monster.
I knew opportunity monsters often attack halfling alchemists first in battles; then to delay attacking the crustacean king, I placed furious chicken as the last monster so that it can attack it.

In conclusion, you could see none of my monsters were eliminated in the battle as a result of teamwork. ANGELIC MANDARIN is a good monster but players using level 5 of this minster enjoyed it most because of triage ability. I am going to get it up to level 5 and test how good it is.

I stand up for success, and success in not achieve by merely making mouth,
No room for laziness, no room for idleness.
