Splinterlands Battle Of The Week: Kraken The Wall

The Ruleset

• Rulesets - Up to Eleven & Heavy Metal
• Mana Cap - 20
• Active Elements -

Here's my starting lineup

Summoner: Kelya Frendul

• With the ruleset and element pick that I got first summoner that popped in mind was Mylor Crowling but sadly my rental had just expired and therefore I could not play him
• So I settled with Kelya Frendul as Water element had most armored monster as Heavy Metal required

1st Position: The Kraken

• The Kraken was my main tanks and damage dealer for this battle
• Main reason I like The Kraken here a lot is his Taunt ability and high hp
• The Kraken also had great amount of melee damage which was necessary because after playing him I only had 4 mana left
• Taunt - Draws the attacks of enemy units. Does not affect Reach, Scattershot, Wingbreak, or enemy units in the first position

2nd Position: Hardy Stonefish

• Hardy Stonefish was here just because I picked him last and I only had 1 mana left to make a choice
• Just maybe he can get a single attack off or tank couple of attacks maybe it makes a difference better play him than not play any monster at all

3rd Position: Crustacean King

• Last but not least was my first and only healer for this team
• Crustacean King just here to help The Kraken stay alive and deal all the damage
• As the mana was quite low hopefully my enemy plays a lot of low damage monster which would allow me to out heal him for at best get to a very slow bleed
• Tank Heal - Each round, restores 1/3 of max health (rounded down) to the allied unit in the first position

Starting board

• The starting board was quite promising
• Even tho my enemy played a damage heavy team his monsters very all quite low hp
• If I manage to hit all of my Kraken attacks the battle should be secured
• But my predictions could still be off by a mile so lets start the battle and have a look

Here's how the battle went

1st & 2nd Round

• After first two rounds my enemy had lost his first monster and was about to lose another one in the start of the next round
• After his next monster falls I am going to out heal all of my enemies damage which would secure me the victory
• Lets keep watching and find out how fast I managed to get to the end of the match

3rd Round

• 3nd Round came and went
• I managed to take down his second monster which 100% secured me the victory in this battle
• Now it is just a matter of time but lets make a one more stop when I finally took down his Helmet Kharafax

4th & 5th Round

• It took me 2 round to take down my enemies Helmet Kharafax as he had rack up some great hp with Scavenger from the start of the battle
• Now I just needed to wait for the start of the next and hopefully final round and then face my victory

6th Round

• It took me 1 attack to kill my enemies last standing monster
• After his Uraeus had fallen I took the victory
• Battle Replay Link

Summary

• This battle was definitely heavily one sided but still fun to watch
• The strategy to take away from this battle is the basic Taunt and Tank Heal ability combo
• Also as all of my monsters survived the whole battle this match is a great example what kind of battle you should aim for in the survival mode in Splinterlands
