Splinterlands Weekly Challenge | Naga Fire Wizard incredible toughness

Malric Inferno

My summoner for this battle, although I did not have many options as I mentioned before, I took advantage of it to get the most out of my attack strategy, since, in my formation, 3 cards have melee attack and my summoner helped me to exponentially increase their attacks which allowed me to further weaken the frontal attack of my enemy.

Cerberus

My default tank almost in most battles is this card, of course this changes depending on the battle rules, but for this one, it once again worked perfectly. My Cerberus has unique abilities that make it a really strong and deadly card in battle, its purpose in this position was to back up my Naga Fire Wizard in the attack as the strongest cards in my team. His "Recovery" ability, allowed him to heal himself in each round by withstanding the big attacks of my opponent's big tank, and his second ability called "Retaliate", allowed him to immediately return the attack propitiated by my opponent, weakening even more his battle front.

Naga Fire Wizard

My second card on the attack front and the one of this great challenge. My strategy in highlighting his great abilities in this battle was mainly to protect my back team, which did not possess abilities that would allow them to withstand my opponent's attacks. Certainly the "Equalizer" battle rule worked perfectly for me, since his tank gave a great amount of energy and life to all my cards, including the weaker ones, so having my Cerberus and my Naga in front would be enough for their abilities to withstand the great attacks of my opponent, defending my back team and at the same time destroying the main cards of my opponent.

Kobold Miner

This is a very useful and effective card in battle and even more so when I can combine it perfectly with my Malric summoner. Clearly I didn't just think about my opponent's strongest front cards, I had to somehow weaken his back attack so that my main attack cards could take as much damage as possible, it is for this reason that my Kobold Miner and his "Sneak" ability, entered this position in my lineup, mainly to protect him and additionally so that I could weaken his last cards and in this way corner my opponent and neutralize him.

Serpentine Spy

A really cool card that I placed in the 4th position of my lineup. "Serpentine Spy", which in normal conditions I would not place it because of its low life, but due to the "Equalizer" rule and the additional energy received thanks to my opponent's tank, there would be no problem with this. This card has an incredible ability and this consists of attacking the weakest card in terms of life of my opponent's formation, which is great, as it allows me to weaken his cards depending on which one is weaker than another. This allowed me to quickly destroy his tank giving me an immediate advantage in the battle.

Beetle Queen

This is one of my favorite cards, maybe not everyone can see its great potential at lower levels, but certainly at higher levels it is very useful. The reasons for using this card in the fifth position are simple but effective, at first I thought of placing an additional monster to help my tank to recover from the attacks of my opponent and what better than this card with its ability of "Tank Heal" for this task. It also has a decent magic power attack, which would help my main attack cards in subduing my opponent's cards.

Halfling Alchemist

Last but not least my Halfling Alchemist card from my lineup. When I saw the battle rules, one of the strategies I immediately think of is to place cards with very low mana and low life, trusting that my opponent or I can place a card with great life and provide this energy to the rest of the team. Such was the case of my Alchemist, where his main function was to weaken my opponent's attack from a distance, thanks to his ability to halve the attack of all the monsters he touches with his axe. This way I could ensure the endurance of my main attack cards on the battlefield.

My strategy actually worked perfectly, I was able to completely neutralize my opponent's attack lineup. I was also able to take advantage of the battle rules in my favor to further decrease his chances of winning. My Naga Fire Wizard performed perfectly as I thought it would and thanks to its great attack power I was able to destroy my opponent faster.

For a next time I will try to adapt my Naga to a different combination of rules to see how it behaves and evaluate its performance depending on these, but it is certainly a very powerful card that despite its high mana cost can be adapted to many of the established battle rules of the game.

I had already used this fabulous card before, as I mentioned it is one of my favorites to always use with the fire Splinter and when the battle rules and mana allow me to use it in all its splendor, as it happened with the challenge battle I just presented. Its abilities make it a tough nut to crack and a dangerous and deadly monster in battle, I would definitely use it again as I always do.
