MY BEST 2023 SPLINTERLANDS’ MONSTER: A FIRE MONSTER WITH IMPECCABLE ABILITIES

Hello splinterlanders, how are you today? Hope you are all well. What a good year for me! Yesterday I was trying to get more daily focus; i was battling hard for a few minutes to the end of the daily focus battle.
After I battled so hard, i was fortunate to get 5 focus chests. I didn’t believe that something good could come out of those daily focus. The reason was that since November, I haven’t got a good card, I only got legendary portions and alchemy portions large number, while the rest were common cards and SPS.
Hmmm! This made me not have any hope of getting good cards such as legendary or rare cards in both daily focus and season reward chests. I was just playing the game to get anything irrespective of the statistics or level of the cards.
Yesterday was different; when i was opening the daily focus chests, the moment i reached one particular chest, it shook for a few seconds and the card was revealed.
I was so amazed when I saw the card i got. To cut the whole story short; i was given ‘COUNTESS SINASH’ with impeccable abilities.
WHY DO I SAY ‘A MONSTER WITH IMPECCABLE ABILITIES?’
OPPORTUNITY ABILITIES: This ability is one of my choice abilities in splinterlands; attacking monsters with a lowest health while battling. This monster is one of the monsters i used most in splinterland especially when giving battles with lower amount of mana. Opportunity monsters disorganize the arrangement of monsters by attacking lower health monsters. The ‘lower health monster’ might be a monster you have calculated to do some dirty work for you in battles.
Whenever my opportunity monsters were attacked and destroyed in the beginning of the battle, i have less chance of winning such battles. There are battles which i skipped when my opportunity monsters are destroyed because i knew i can never win the battles.
CAMOUFLAGE: This is just like an animal called chameleon; it changes to the colors of its environment. This made me remember a day when someone brought this animal to my environment, he placed it down and the color of the chameleon changed to the cloth that someone wore that day.
This camouflage made this monster look like a chameleon which makes every monster possess this ability not to be seen by opponent monster unless it leads or remains only the monster in the lineup. This is the reason I linked the camouflage ability with chameleon.

SWIFTNESS: this ability gives speed to all friendly monsters. My opponent always used one of the monsters with swiftness which is a supply runner. Whenever I saw this swiftness in battles, I knew it would be a hard battle. There were battles that I did not have opportunity to attack until all my opponent monsters attacked; there were battles that I could not destroy one of my opponent monsters due to the swiftness ability. The moment i knew that countess sinash had this ability in level two, i have been longing for it. Yesterday was a faithful day for me when I pulled one countess sinash out from daily chest focus.
Immediately, I went to the market to get one so that i could combine it to level 2. When I did so, I was very eager to use it in battles. I began to say i have my own monster with swiftness, those players who used such monsters against me will feel me now.

My biggest problem with this monster is the mana; The mana is too high. Battles with 25 mana and below are not tweetable for this countess sinash because the monsters will take up too much space. When 8 is gone out of 25, the remaining number may be small to choose other monsters.
Another problem is health. The health is very small, but the thing is that the camouflage made it to be saved from attack.

WHAT TYPES OF BATTLES ARE THE BEST FOR COUNTESS SINASH?
HIGH SPEED BATTLES: There are battles that require high speed. Countess sinash is good to us in these kinds of battles because the swiftness will be a good advantage to friendly monsters. This will give those friendly monsters the opportunity to attack faster. I am going to show you a battle that I used this countess sinash. It gave additional all friendly monster +1 additional speed that made to attack faster.
Not only battles that require high speed, but also some battle rules such as fog or war where sneak monsters cannot attack unless such monsters lead the battle.

NOTE: Using countess sinash in battles with reverse rule is not good because all your monsters will have high speed that will make them not to attack faster. There was a day I came across an opponent that used supply runner with level 5 against me in battle; while the rule of the battle was ‘reverse speed’. Despite the level 7 summoner he used against, I defeated him because of the decision to use supply runner in a reverse rule battle. He would have defeated me if he did not use supply runner; this was the reason all my monsters attacked before his own monsters, while i had already eliminated one of his monsters and also broken the weapon of one of his powerful monsters.

RULES SET

FOG OR WAR: monsters lose the sneak and snipe abilities.

LOST MAGIC: Monsters with magic attacks may not be used in battles.

MONSTERS LINEUP

LIVING LAVA: since there was no magic in this battle, I knew that i would be very difficult to eliminate living lava due to its shield ability.
The only monster that was eliminated in my lineup was serpentine spy; it was eliminated by the opponent’s serpentine spy.

FINEAS RAGE: the monster with the highest speed in this battle. Fineas rage was the first monster to attack; it speed was the major reason i selected this monster.

LAVA LAUNCHER: This monster could lead the battle if living lava and fineas rage were eliminated. The close-range ability was the major reason I put it in third position; i knew if the monster in the first and second position were eliminated, lava launcher would be able to lead and attack in the first position.

SERPENTINE SPY: i selected this monster because of the opportunity ability.

COUNTESS SINASH: swiftness was the major reason; i knew with this ability, it is possible for me to win the battle.

FIRE BEETLE: since sneak monster can only attack in the first position, beetle was a better monster to use. Though it lost its snipe ability; it can only attack monsters in the first position not in the middle.
