Hello Splinterlands Fans

Time for the SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge.

I was a bit shocked to see Carrie choosing BARKING SPIDER for this week's challenge. To be honest, I seldom use these hideous creatures, may be because of the fact that they are ugly or may be I tend to underestimate their Blind ability.

For this challenge, I upgraded my BARKING SPIDER to have Blind ability. After a few battles with BARKING SPIDER's Blind ability, I realized that these spiders are indeed underrated. Their Blind ability when properly used can certainly change the outcome of the battle.

Placement and How to Use

BARKING SPIDERS, like all ranged monsters is best suited in the back ranks. In low mana battles it can be placed at one down or last position, where it can evade ranged and melee(Sneak and Opportunity) attacks thanks to the Blind ability.

BARKING SPIDERS's Blind ability works more effectively when applied with other speed related complementing abilities like Slow, Swiftness and Dodge.

Favored Battle Rules

BARKING SPIDER's blind ability becomes more important in melee and ranged attack based battles. So, they are best suited for Lost Magic or Weak Magic battle rules.

Defense

Real threat from BARKING SPIDER is their Blind ability. So the best way to counter Blind ability is having Blind ability of your own and keep speed of monsters in mind when choosing them. Also use magic attack preferably to evade Blind ability.

MY LINEUP

DARIA DRAGONSCALE

I choose to play with my favorite Dragon summoner, DARIA DRAGONSCALE.

DARIA DRAGONSCALE gives +1 melee attack to all friendlies, along with a wide range of fierce dragon monsters.


NECTAR QUEEN

158817836372645504 29.png
Upfront, I placed one of my favorite tank, NECTAR QUEEN. She has great health and attack along with awesome speed with Flying and Retaliate ability. Quite handy tank when Legendary or Epic tanks are unavailable.


PRISMATIC ENERGY

158817836372645504 33.png
On one down, I placed PRISMATIC ENERGY as a back up tank. Especially useful against magic attacks.


WOOD NYMPH

158817836372645504 30.png
Next, I placed my healer, WOOD NYMPH. A nice low cost healer although vulnerable to magic reflect. But since only commons and rares were allowed, so I wasn't expecting heavy magic reflect by the enemy.


SCREECHING VULTURE

158817836372645504 32.png
Then I placed one of my favorite opportunity monster, the SCREECHING VULTURE. SCREECHING VULTURE's best attribute is its Scavenger ability and it costs very little mana.


BARKING SPIDER

158817836372645504 31.png
On second last position, I placed BARKING SPIDER. I upgraded my BARKING SPIDER to level 6 for the Blind ability.

I feel that despite being pretty amazing, Blind ability is underrated.


SAND WORM

158817836372645504 34.png
On the last, I placed the newly introduced sneak tank SAND WORM. A true heavy sneak attack monster.

BATTLE ANALYSIS

The battle went as planed. The Blind ability given by BARKING SPIDER made the enemy miss many attacks and had a great influence on battle. I deliberately used NECTAR QUEEN for its high speed and Flying ability as both of these factors enhance the efficacy of Blind ability.

That will be all for today.
