Evening

So, I was taking to @xawi in Neoxian City and I asked her about the Splinterlands Social Media Challenge idea. She asked me to pick an epic battle and do the Social Media Challenge. So here I am (Thanks to Xawi), discussing an Epic Battle of mine.
Choosing an Epic battle can get pretty hard sometimes. To me an epic battle should have a an element of surprise(to opponent).
So here we go...
This was low mana battle, 14. Low mana battles are usually tough and unpredictable. With low mana (like 14), the numbers of moves/choices are limited and margin of error is very little. The whole battle depends upon predicting the enemy moves/choices and effectively countering them. One wrong move and even a weaker foe can take you out.
So, the battle had two rules, Unprotected and Close Range.
In low mana battles people usually go with heavy healing tanks, low mana ranged options or resort to Last Stand ability. Due to Close Range ruleset, I decided to use the awesome ranged legendary; CORNEALUS.

God, I love this guys as he can be used in variety of scenarios at different positions. It have decent ranged attack with huge health and complements himself with awesome Heal, Thorns, Return Fire and Magic Reflect abilities. Looking at stats one can tell that this guys is meant to survive even the toughest of the onslaughts. And above all he is belongs to Neutral splinter so can be used and complemented by the whole range of summoners.

Back to my battle strategy. I decided to use BORTUS summoner as I had Lev-3 CORNEALUS which lacks Magic Reflect so needed to counter magic attack.

The battle went as per liking. Enemy used LORD ARIANTHUS and heavy ranged monsters at the back, perfect prey for CORNEALUS. The only danger was Affliction which enemy didn't use.
All the enemy ranged monsters complemented by SELENIA SKY succumbed to the Return Fire of CORNEALUS. And CORNEALUS easily took out LORD ARIANTHUS as it was not complemented by healer.
