Splinterlands Battle: The Tenacious Diemonshark!

Good day, Splinterlands! It's time again for Splinterlands' SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! featuring DIEMONSHARK! Let me share with you one of my most recent battles with Diemonshark. This monster is one tenacious beast that bears the name of one ferocious beast in the water. How did I won using Diemonshark? Let's have a look.

The Modern Format rulesets for this fight is Equal Opportunity and the maximum amount of mana allowed is 42. The available elements are Fire, Water, Earth and Life. Because of the ruleset Opportunity, I used all melee attack monsters using Kelya Frendul as my Summoner. My approach is to defeat the opponent with speed and attack power and Diemonshark at Level 4 has good stats in terms of speed and attack as well as it has enough shield to act as tank.

The goal, as previously mentioned, is to outspeed and outattack the opponent. After gaining the +1 Speed and +1 Armor from Kelya Frendul, the lowest speed in my lineup is now 4. Due to Demented Shark's +1 Melee Attack, my lineup will also gain +1 Melee Attack. However, the opponent possesses a Time Mage that lowers the speed of opponent monsters and a Disintegrator that lowers melee attack of opponent monsters. These will cancel Kelya Frendul's +1 Speed and Demented Shark's Inspire power. Additionally, there are monsters on the opponent's side that have Magic attacks, rendering my approach of making the opponent's physical attacks miss ineffective. For my lineup, this is a challenging match. Let's look at how I did.

Coeurl Lurker's Dodge and high speed didn't go well according to plan and was defeated at Round 1. Enemy monsters' attack did not miss, even Disintegrator with a Speed of 1. LOL. Oh well, I still have my Diemonshark to redeem my team. With the absence of Coeurl Lurker, Diemonshark will be my Position 1 monster in the next round.

In round 2, my monsters were able to defeat Shieldbeared and were able to land attacks to other opponent monsters as well. Also, Pelacor Bandit managed to dodge Pelacor Arbalest attack and Diemonshark was able to remove Chaos Knight's Armor.

In round 3, my Pelacor Bandit and Demented Shark were defeated and my lineup defeated enemy Pelacor Arbalest. This resulted to a negative buff for my melee attackers. With 3 monsters on my side and 4 on opponent side, I thought of losing the battle.

In round 4, my strategy kicked in. Diemonshark attacked first, followed by Xenith Monk and Deepluker and focused on attacking Chaos Knight. This brought Chaos Knight down.

Moving to Round 7, Disintegrator's attack finally missed and in Round 8, Diemonshark's Trample finally activated. At this point, Diemonshark already has 5 melee attack and 8 speed and together with Deepurker, the team managed to defeat the opponent.

My plan seemed to have worked, but not until round 4. Because the opponent monsters didn't miss and had magic attack monsters, my plan to have Coeurl Lurker taunt the enemy while the rest of my monsters took off each opponent monster one at a time didn't work out. Additionally, Time Mage and Disintegrator countered the +1 Speed enhancement of Kelya Frendul and the +1 Melee Attack of Demented Shark. The fact that Diemonshark has more armor, speed, and attack strength than the opponent monsters is a good thing and led me to victory. Although it was a close game, the team was able to prevail.
