SUPER DEBUFF (DEMORALIZE, HEADWIND, AND SILENCE) AND MAGIC REFLECT + AMPLIFY STRATEGY

Hello Splinterlands Lovers,

Welcome back to my blog, @queen-silvia, In this Battle weekly Challenge, I am going to share to all of you How to arrange Death line up with the combination of 3 kinds of de-buff, including Demoralize, Silence and Headwinds. As a tank monster I put a monster who can return magic attack and increase it using the amplify ability. The battle is quite interesting since we can see the opponent's attack was reduced. How satisfying is that? Check out this article :

- DEATH MONSTERS WHO HAVE DEMORALIZE, HEADWINDS, AND SILENCE -

1. Demoralize


Boogeyman	Fallen Specter	Harklaw	Octopider

Alright, let's start this chapter with Demoralize first. There are 2 rare-type monster (Boogeyman and Octopider) and 2 legendary-type monster (Fallen Specter and Harklaw) who have Demoralize skill. The ability will reduce melee attack of all monsters by 1 but if the opponent's melee attack is 1, it can't be reduced into 0. If you see your opponent's 5 recent battle were using melee monsters a lot, these 4 monsters are the right choice, especially Harklaw to be put as a main tank as he has shield ability who can reduce melee and ranged attack.

2. Headwinds


Fallen Specter	Riftwing	Soulstorm

The next de-buff which is very interesting also is headwinds. This ability will reduce the ranged attack by -1 and it can not be less than 1. The first monster is Fallen Specter. This monster has 1 health only, even at lv.4 so the best strategy is to put him along with monster with Taunt ability such as Dark Ha'on to make the opponent's monster with opportunity ability to attack him.

The Second monster is Riftwing, At the maximum level, the bird has Flying, Scavenger, Backfire and Headwinds. So I used to put this monster on the last position to counter monster with sneak ability. Once the sneak monsters miss their attack (due to Riftwing's high speed and flying ability) the opponent monster will receive 2 damage as a result of backfire. In a deadly ruleset like Noxious Fumes, Earthquake and Explosive Weaponry, this monster could increase his health a lot since many monsters who don't have immunity and heal ability would die.

The last Headwinds monster is Soulstorm, just like Fallen Specter, At lv.6, his health point is just 3 so we need Dark Ha'on (who has taunt ability) also to protect this monster from opponent monster with Opportunity ability. This is a perfect monster to be used in the earthquake ruleset since he has flying ability and snare ability. The flying ability will prevent Soulstorm to get physical damage each round and snare ability will remove flying ability of the targeted monster and this attack can not miss.

3. Silence


Phantom Soldier	Death Elemental	Corpse Fiend

The last debuff that we are going to discuss is silence. His debuff is pretty useful since many players used magic monsters a lot. The first monster is Phantom Soldier. He is an epic death monster, at the maximum level (6), he has flying, Void and Silence so he can reduced the magic attack if he received magic attack either from the opponent's magic attack or reflected magic.

The second monster is Corpse Fiend. He is the mandatory monster to be used if there is a vacant slot due to low mana (for example 12 - 15 mana). This monster will be very useful to absorb enemies attack who has sneak monster (if we put it in the last position). At maximum level, Corpse Fiend has void ability which can reduce magic attack of all opponent's monster by -1.

The third monster is Death Elemental. His silence ability has been activated since level 4 so we can utilize his silence ability started from silver league. At maximum level (8) he has weaken ability which can reduce 1 health point of all enemies monsters. He is belong to fast monster as he has 5 speed started from level 5.

The mana cost for the battle is 58, very high in a battle and the ruleset is keep your distance so only magic and ranged attack monsters may be used in the battlefield.

Icon	Ruleset	Explanation
	Keep your Distance	Monsters with Melee attack may not be used in battles. The best tips in this ruleset is to stack monster with high health point as a tank in the first position and monster with the highest attack in the last position. The order would be magic monster in second to third position and ranged attack in the forth to sixth.

- BATTLE ANALYSIS -

Round 1

In the first round, I set Prismatic Energy as a primary tank. Not only because he has high health point but he has also void and magic reflect ability. those skills are perfect counter against the opponent who utilised 3 magic monsters. In the second position I put Phantom Soldier because he has the same health point as Prismatic energy and Silence ability to reduce opponent's magic attack. In the third position we have Octopider as it has 7 health points. He will take a role as a tank in case Prismatic Energy and Phantom Soldier were being killed. in the forth position, we have Lira the dark as she has 6 health point. Her swiftness ability increase the speed of all friendly monsters. The next monster is Soulstorm his headwinds reduced ranged attack of all the opponent's monsters. And the last monster, weirding Warrior has amplify ability to increase the magic reflected by Prismatic Energy.

Round 2

The debuff and magic reflect plus amplify strategy works very well since Mimosa team have successfully killed 4 out of 6 monsters in the second round while the tank (Prismatic Energy) is still having 5 health point. Every magic reflect was reduced and magic reflect was amplified. Looks like an easy win for Mimosa team.

Round 3

Obsidian team died very quickly after getting hit by Lira the Dark and Soulstorm ranged attack as their speed are 7 and 6 respectively. It's a flawless win as Prismatic energy health point is just reduced by 4 only, while another monster get no damage at all.

- OPINON ABOUT MIMOSA NIGHTSHADE -

Well, this summoner is a perfect counter against the opponent who used ranged attack, magic and heal ability a lot since she has -1 ranged attack, void and affliction ability. By utilizing him all of friendly monsters will have Void ability, so putting tank monster with shield ability is enough to hold any kind of opponent attack to the tank monster.
