Hi, everyone. Welcome to my post. In the Social Media Challenge, I will discuss anything related to SPLINTERLANDS. This can include cards, abilities, rulesets, battle reviews, end-of-season results, or my playing experience.
In this post, I will share my battle against Corsair Bosun who has high stats due to the addition of the MARTYR ability.
Battle
The ruleset for this battle is BORN AGAIN 
(all monsters in the arena receive an additional REBIRTH 
ability), BRIAR PATCH 
(all monsters in the arena receive an additional THORNS 
ability), and SILENCED SUMMONERS 
(Summoners cannot use the abilities they have)
In the first round, Naga Assassin and Supply Runner defeated Venari Marksrat for the first time (revived thanks to the REBIRTH ability). Then Void Dragon defeated it for the second time (this time revived by Adelade Brightwing). And for the third time, Venari Marksrat was defeated again this time by my Adelade Brightwing (and revived again by Oshuur Constantia).
With Venari Marksrat defeated 3 times this round, Corsair Bosun received an additional 3 points in all his stats. Because of this, he can successfully deal massive damage to Void Dragon who already has very high SPEED (thanks to the additional 3 SPEED from SWIFTNESS 
ability). Vruz targeted War Pegasus but he also took damage from the THORNS ability.
Venari Crystalsmith healed Venari Marksrat. But she and Adelade Brightwing, Oshuur Constantia, and War Pegasus failed to land their attacks on Void Dragon. Meanwhile, Chaos Dragon aimed its attack at Adelade Brightwing and dealt additional damage through its BLAST 
ability to Venari Crystalsmith and Oshuur Constantia.
In the second round, Vruz attacked War Pegasus but lost to damage from THORNS. Vruz revived using the REBIRTH ability, then Void Dragon and Chaos Dragon received additional points from the MARTYR 
ability when Vruz lost. Naga Assassin and Void Dragon defeated Venari Marksrat for the last time and made Corsair Bosun fill the first position.
Supply Runner and Chaos Dragon attack Corsair Bosun. BLAST effect from the attack hits Venari Crystalsmith. Venari Crystalsmith and Adelade Brightwing healed and repaired Corsair Bosun's ARMOR. But the three of them along with Oshuur Constantia and War Pegasus failed to land an attack on Void Dragon.
In the third round, Vruz failed to land his attack on War Pegasus. Void Dragon and Adelade Brightwing managed to reduce the HP of Corsair Bosun. Meanwhile, Naga Assassin and Supply Runner damaged his ARMOR. This time, Chaos Dragon aimed its attack at the Venari Crystalsmith and defeated it. Adelade Brightwing who was hit by the effects of BLAST also lost although they both came back to life thanks to the REBIRTH ability. Meanwhile, Corsair Bosun is protected from the effects of BLAST because he has the REFLECTION SHIELD 
ability.
Due to being defeated, Venari Crystalsmith and Adelade Brightwing could not do anything this round. Corsair Bosun and Oshuur Constantia failed to deal damage to Void Dragon. Meanwhile, War Pegasus can land its attacks on Void Dragon.
In the fourth round, Void Dragon defeated Corsair Bosun for the first time (revived thanks to REBIRTH ability). And the second time Corsair Bosun was defeated by my Adelade Brightwing (Previously Corsair Bosun received damage to his ARMOR due to attacks from Naga Assassin and Supply Runner). The Venari Crystalsmith who is in first place can only heal himself using the TANK HEAL 
ability.
Vruz again failed to land his attack on War Pegasus. However, War Pegasus defeated Void Dragon for the first time (even though he came back to life by using the REBIRTH ability). Chaos Dragon directed its attack at Oshuur Constantia so that it lost for the first time (revived using REBIRTH). War Pegasus took additional damage due to the effects of BLAST. Meanwhile, Adelade Brightwing lost for the last time (also due to damage from BLAST). Oshuur Constantia failed to land its attack on Void Dragon.
In the last round, Venari Crystalsmith was defeated again by Void Dragon. Oshuur Constantia was also defeated again by Naga Assassin. Vruz attacked War Pegasus who was now in first place but was himself defeated by THORNS ability. He was revived by Adelade Brightwing, then Void Dragon and Chaos Dragon received an additional 1 point in all their stats.
War Pegasus was defeated twice in a row. Respectively by Chaos Dragon and Supply Runner.
Battle Review
Putting Venari Marksrat in the first position and Corsair Bosun behind it is a good idea. Corsair Bosun can still attack even in the second position because he has the REACH 
ability. So while Venari Marksrat is defeated and revived by REBIRTH or RESURRECT 
abilities, Corsair Bosun can still attack behind him. Also, Corsair Bosun has the REFLECTION SHIELD ability to negate the effect of THORNS from the BRIAR PATCH ruleset.
Unfortunately, their opponent this time was Void Dragon who had received an additional 3 SPEED and added to the addition he received from Vruz's MARTYR ability. Despite having almost the same SPEED, Corsair Bosun could only hurt Void Dragon once. In contrast to War Pegasus who initially failed to land an attack on Void Dragon, but he could deal 2 damage to Void Dragon.
The reason is of course because of the FLYING 
ability. War Pegasus and Void Dragon have it, while Corsair Bosun does not. The FLYING ability will indeed give an advantage to the owner because, with this ability, the owner has the opportunity to avoid attacks from units that do not have the FLYING ability.
I was worried when Void Dragon took a lot of damage and didn't bring a unit with TANK HEAL ability to heal it. But luck was still on my side.
Those are the kinds of things I discussed in this Social Media Challenge. Thank you for reading to the end and see you in other discussions in next week's Social Media Challenge.
