Back to Simplicity

Heyyy yooooo
what's up Splinter Player around the world how are you doing? I want to share my battle using one of my scholar account and this time i am playing in Silver Modern Format League. And in this content i will sharing that in Five Alive ruleset, and in this battle i want to share that sometimes we just need to make simple arrangement and not to overthinking to get a victory. So, in this battle i am just using basic line up in Water edition with under leveled summoner in Silver League. Even though my line up quite simple. But,never underestimate the simplicity of water edition line up. As far as i know water element still pretty baddass and strong compared to others element. Thats why if you guys asking which element need to buy. I can strongly suggesting to completed the water element first,then the rest.

Okay since you guys know that the ruleset is Broken Arrows lets knowing this ruleset a little bit deeper.This ruleset description is

Up to five Units can be used.

So, basically this ruleset is making both player need to arranging team with just only 5 units. Both players can bring less than 5 units but cannot bring more than 5 units, summoner excluded. Usually many players will bringing the strongest monster into battlefield and forgoting to utilize the ability. But sometimes it really need to make the combination ability with just 5 units monster. And sometimes arranging with this ruleset is really easy. But,sometimes arranging in this ruleset can be super hard too.

Strategy Phase

As you can see in the picture above this battle just have 2 ruleset only. The first ruleset is Five Alive that means both players have restriction with just can bringing maximum 5 unit monsters. The second ruleset is Lost Magic that means no magic type monster unit can be used in this battle. So the choices is just using either Melee type attack or Range type attck. The manacap that can be used in this battle is 38 which is pretty average. In this battle all element can be used. So, both players can choose all the element we want. And it will be pretty hard choice too especially we need guessing which element that opponent will choose right. But, in this battle i am choosing the line up pretty simple with just choosing water element that having pretty good melee monster combination with armor from Kelya Frendul as summoner.Since in this battle cannot bringing any magic type attack monster at all. So,this is my line up. You can see in the table below

Card	Position	Ability	Reason
	Summoner	+1 Armor +1 Speed	I am using water element with Kelya as summoner because in battle between Range and melee monster using Kelya as summoner is give advantage to my line up. From speed that can make my line up more faster and that means having higher chance to dodge any attack due the speed different and get additional armor that can holding some attack from opponent. That will make slighty different that can lead to my victory.
	Frontline Tanker		I am using Diemonshark as a frontline tanker because this monster is pretty good with having high speed and high amount of health. Also this monster having Enrage ability that can make this monster stronger after got directly hit on health. And if this monster succed defeated any opponent monster the trample ability will active and gives additional damage to the next monster.
	Second Tanker & Attacker		I am bringing Flying Squid because this monster can be as a tanker if my Diemonshark fainted. Also this monster can attack from the second position with reach ability. So, this monster can helping my frontline tanker to defeated opponent frontline tanker.
	Attacker		I am bringing Deeplurker to my line up because this monster can hunting down opponent monster that have the lowest health in opponent line up with Opportunity ability. Also this monster can be very helpful reducing opponent line up power after defeated the lowest monster in opponent line up.
	Support Attacker		I am bring Supply Runner due this monster having pretty good ability that is Swiftness that can gives my line up additional speed that can make my line up team will having high chance to attack first. And if my team line up can attacking first that means my team having higher chance to dodge opponent attack with speed different and can defeat opponent monster first.
	Support Attacker		I am using Swamp Spitter in this battle because this monster having pretty good range attack to gives some damage to opponent frontline tanker and if opponent bringing monster that costing 10 manacost or above the giant killer ability will active and gives double damage. And this monster also have repair ability that can repairing my frontline tanker armor if got broke.

So, this is my line up for this battle. I think this strategy is pretty good and hopefully i can win with this strategy. And my strategy is very common and basic. With having repair ability and depending on the melee attack and speed. If opponent using complex strategy with unlimited loop with repair ability, maybe i can losing the battle. So lets look how the battle going in battlephase

Battlephase

This time i am encountered with player that using summoner with gold level league and above mine. Can i win this battle even though my level is lower than opponent? Lets check it out and testing how good the water element are.

Round 1

As usual in round 1 both parties got buff and debuff from both summoners and monsters. In my team got 1 Additional Armor and Speed from my Summoner Kelya Frendul. Another 1 Additional Speed from my Supply Runner ability Swiftness. In opponent team got 1 Additional Melee attack and Health from opponent Summoner Tarsha. Also 1 Additional Speed from opponent Countess Sinash ability Swiftness. After buff and debuff stuff the battle started and the first attacker goes to my Supply Runner attacking opponent Grum Flameblade but just attacking the armor. Then my Diemonshark break opponent Grum Flameblade armor, following by my Flying Squid attacking Grum Flameblade. Then my Deeplurker defeated opponent Xenith Archer. Then opponent Countess Sinash attacking my Supply Runner and break the armor. After that my Swamp Spitter repairing my Supply Runner armor and attacking Grum Flameblade and gives double damage since Grum is costing above 10 manacost. Then opponent Ferexian Hero attacking my Diemonshark but missing the attack, then opponent Tenyii Striker attacking my Swamp Spitter and hit the armor. The last is opponent Grum Fireblade attacking my Diemonshark and hit the armor.

Round 2

In round 2 the battle still continue and the first attacker is still my Supply Runner attacking opponent Grum Fireblade. Following by my Diemonshark attacking opponent Grum Fireblade but yet cannot defeated Grum Fireblade. Then my Deeplurker finally can defeated opponent Grum Fireblade. Then my Flying Squid attacking Ferexian Hero and break the armor. After that opponent Countess Sinash attacking my Supply Runner and break the armor. Then my Swamp Spitter repair my Diemonshark armor and attacking opponent Ferexian Hero. After that opponent Ferexian hero attacking my Diemonshark and break all the armor. And the last is Tenyii Striker hit my Swamp Spitter and gives some damage.In round 2 i think my team still leading in this battle. Since opponent losing the their tanker and the backline. And in my team still not losing any monster at all. But, lets see in the next round.Everything can change.

Round 3

In round 3 still the first attacker goes to my Supply Runner attacking opponent Ferexian Hero. After that my Diemonshark attacking opponent Ferexian Hero and defeated it. Then my Diemonshark triggered the Trample ability after defeated opponent Ferexian Hero and continue attacking opponent Tenyii Striker with trample ability. Then my Flying Squid attacking opponent Tenyii Striker. Following by my Deeplurker attacking opponent Tenyii Striker but missing the attack. Then opponent Countess Sinash defeated my Swamp Spitter. And the last is opponent Tenyii Striker attacking my Diemonshark and activated the enrage ability of my Diemonshark and make my Diemonshark stronger.

Round 4

In round 4 the first attack goes to my Diemonshark that attacking opponent Tenyii Striker but missing the attack. Wonder why the dodge ability can gives RNG like that. Since in the last content that i make the dodge ability combined with flying ability did not gives any miss for the attack. Thats why i said that the RNG need to be fixed. It is really weird and annoying. Then my Supply Runner defeated opponent Tenyii Striker. And then combination attack from my Flying Squid and Deeplurker finally can defeated opponent Countess Sinash and the battle is over. I am the winner in this battle. But, still i get annoyed by the miss and the RNG.

Conclution

After experiencing this battle when got ruleset that gives both player restriction ruleset like Five Alive ruleset that can make both player just have maximum line up with 5 monster units, we can think the simple way and just make sure our line up can attack opponent faster and can defeat faster. Like in this battle even though my level is lower than opponent line up. Still my line up is strong and yeah the simple way can leading to victory sometimes. Also, i can say that water element is the strongest element in splinterlands universe. Thats why if you want to building any deck i can say that go completed and maxed the water deck first. It will give you higher chance to win than any other element. Back again RNG is super annoying for me. With just dodge my monster forced to missing the attack. I dont know how the RNG worked. But, for me it is really annoying. Why i must get the miss chance like that. Even though for the calculation the chance of my monster missing the attack is very low. Hopefully the dev team can fix the Annoying RNG. But, i dont think the dev watching this RNG or even the battle anymore. Maybe just i that watching the battle. Thats why i got irritating by looking annoyed miss.
