Hello Friends,

If you are following hive price off late, it is on the rise and eventhough it is coming down, but instantly it's moving up again unlike earlier days, where, it will go up and after some time, it will go down and stay at original price.
This year seems to be a better one for alt coins as even the hive engine coins too are moving up in price.
Writing up this blog for this week's social media challenge and this time, i want to highlight the importance of flying monsters in a battle having earthquake ruleset in which, monsters without flying ability will lose 2 health at the end of each round.
The battle i am sharing, involves 2 flying monsters, a gladius monster with bloodlust and one monster with life leech ability, another one having dual and double attack and last one is with huge number of armors to tackle the sneak attack as i placed it in the end of the lineup.
Battle and Lineup:
https://splinterlands.com/battle/sl_1ff7253d3958bab9d32631bf7f8bd6d2?ref=coolmonsters
Not many times we get 60 or more mana cost cap in a battle, but this one had and it had 3 rulesets
including the earthquake one and other other 2 rulesets being up close and personal which means, only melee attack monsters are allowed and the last ruleset is the fury ruleset which makes monsters to attack with double strike on a monster with taunt ability.
earthquake and flying are like synonyms as flying monsters can evade earthquake and hence, here is my lineup with couple of flying monsters.
Lineup:
Uriel the purifier:
The advantage of using this monster in this battle is that, it is a battle which only allows the melee attack monsters and this monster can survive the attacks from melee monsters as it is a monster with healing ability and also attacks once in 2 rounds but attacks with 3 times the normal attack.
This is also a flying monster, so, it won't lose 2 health in each round and has armors to protect it from melee attack.
Marisol contuma:
The perfect reach ability monster for any battle as it is a bloodlust monster and is with huge melee attack of 5 and it will inspire the melee attack monsters which is also with good health.
Celestial harpy:
Celestial harpy is the second flying monster i have used and this monster is a opportunity attack ability monster and always targets the monster with lowest health from the opponent's lineup.
for 2 mana cost, it gives 2 melee attack and has true attack ability to not to miss it's attack even against flying monsters.
Stitch leech:
Stitch leech is the monster with life leech ability to gain health in each round if it reduces the main health from a monster and for 3 cost, it gives 3 melee attack and it is a sneak ability monster which will target the last monster in a lineup.
Drybone raider:
This monster is with dual and double attack as well with melee and ranged attacks and can attack 2 times in each round.
I used this to also utilize the shatter ability it has to remove the armors from the monsters it attacks. It also has cripple ability which will reduce the health from the monster it attacks and that cannot be regained unless cleansed.
Dumacke orc:
Last monster i used is the dumacke orc and this monster is with just 1 health, but has 8 armors and also with shield and retaliate ability and it is specifically used for sneak and opportunity ability monsters to attack back with retaliate and also take less blow due to shield ability.
So, that was a lineup and some of those monsters are not used in those specific positions like dumacke orc, but i keep observing the battles i lose and i saw this was used in last position to tackle sneak attack monsters and the usage of it in this battle helped me check those uraeus and celestial harpy monsters opponent had used.
When we have more mana cost cap, we can make use of some good monsters and uriel the purifier is an example for that.
It not only keeps front position intact but keeps removing the monsters in alternate round with it's 3 times attack.
The bloodlust monster of marisol contuma too was good in removing the dangerous arkemis the bear monster used by opponent.
The other monsters such as stitch leech, drybone raider also were good and that last monster of dumacke orc was too god for the sneak and opportunity monsters and earthquake ruleset added more salt on the wounds to remove those 2 monsters i mentioned above.
Summoner-wise, we both had similar summoners which induced the armors on monsters and since magic monsters were not allowed, the void armor ability from summoner from opponent wasn't that significant.
Instead, the summoner i used was more beneficial as it enabled me to use a monster with bloodlust ability.
That is all friends in this blog, as we are still in the mid of the week, i am hoping to write another blog soon for the social media challenge for this week.
Thanks.
