Battle Recap
Here is a replay of the battle which at you can watch at Splinterlands.
Did your Strategy Work?
Although it is a Reverse Speed ruleset, I still brought Mycelic Slipspawn even when it got the Slow ability but I deemed it to be necessary with Equal Opportunity in order to avoid monsters with lower health not to be attacked and at the end, it still works for me and there was also Drybone Raider which could attack 4 times per turn who also has quite a low speed so it was able to land all of its attacks. A little sad because just as I finished this battle, the SPS that I rent also expires so I did not earn much SPS for this win.
That was it for this post. Thank you and see you at the next one.
