🔥🔥Tested Strategy To Defeat Kaltrebal Gibson🔥🔥

Crushing Kaltreba Gibson requires wisdom; and that is when you know that your opponent would use it. It is one thing to know that your opponent uses a particular monster; it is another thing to guess wrong.
As a player, we guess right, and we guess wrong! The reason a player is defeated in the game is when a player guesses wrong.
There were many instances I guessed wrong while I was playing splinterlands.
For instance,there was a day I was playing splinterlands, and if I won the battles, I would have climbed the champion league. With all the aspiration to win the battle, I used a fire summoner. The reason I used a fire summoner was that it was my best summoner at that moment.
With the hope of winning, I deliberately selected the best monsters. When the battle started, I could not withstand the opponent paired with me. I could not destroy a monster from his lineup. It didn't cross my mind that such a big player would be paired with me.
No matter my summoner and monsters, I cannot beat him! He used a level 8 summoner and most of his monsters were Max DEC; while I was using level 4 summoner with level 3 and four monsters.
I couldn't destroy a monster from his lineup.

Another incident that happened to me was when I was paired up with a player with a level 1 summoner. I was surprised by the way he defeated me; and it was my mistake.
He was very clever! All his selected monsters were magic monsters, and he used them to protect against melee and range monsters.
I used melee and ranged monsters; I used a monster with shield ability, believing that my opponent would use melee monsters. At the end of round 2, all my monsters were eliminated.

In this battle today, I will like to talk about my encounter with Katrelba Gibson.
When I started the battle today, out of seven battles I played, I encountered Katrelba Gibson 4 times. I realized that Katrelba Gibson was using it consecutively.
I started to defend my battles by using monsters with thorns and shield abilities from behind; and it was working for me. After I used such a strategy 2 times, by the sixth time, the strategy changed. This was because I knew that my opponent that was paired with me would not use Katrelba Gibson. This is the reason a player needs to understand the rules- I knew that my opponent would come up with magic monsters; I used another summoner, and monsters with void and phase abilities.

Why Do I talk about Katrelba Gibson?
Katrelba Gibson is a common Earth unit with spectacular abilities. It has three unique abilities and they are;
Bloodlust- A monster with bloodlust ability have the ability to get stronger when it kill a monster. The more it kills, the stronger it becomes. This is because when a bloodlust monster kills, it stats increases by +1, that is, the melee, health, speed and many more.
Double strike: Katrelba Gibson has the ability to attack twice in each turn.
Sneak: it attacks a monster in the last position.
All these abilities make Katrelba Gibson terrorizing opponents. That is the reason I love to use the monster.

How can we stop Katrelba Gibson?
strategies
I strategize everything. The moment a see the summoner that is available to use; whenever I see that Earth summoner is among and the opponent have the opportunity to use Katrelba Gibson. I used a monster that could get Katrelba Gibson killed such as a Venari Knifer.
Study the Rules
It is important to study the rule very well before one select monsters that is available. For example, choosing Katrelba Gibson when Fog of war and Back to basic rule is given is a waste, except when an exceptional case when a rule like superneak is given.
Therefore, it very important to study the rule.
Guessing your opponent lineup
There are some of my opponent I know very well because we have been paired several times. I know the best monsters and summoners they are often using, and the moment I see them, I use strategy to kill their monsters. When you know the monsters and summoners your opponents are using, the battles become very simple; and you know how you can win them.
There is one of my opponent that love to use melee monsters so much: I used a monster with protect ability and magic monsters.

Summoner

Obsidian 🌍🌍🌍
Splinter: Water
Level: 6
Ability: additional of +1 magic attack to all magic monsters
Mana: 4
Obsidian is my best summoner for now; This is because it is one of the highest summoner I have. What triggered me to use Obsidian was the Dumacke Orc. Leve 7 of Dumacke Orc was activated.
Since i have more magic attack than any other attacks, it was very important to use Obsidian to give +1 magic attack to all friendly magic attack monsters.

Arrangement of Monsters

Dumacke Orc
Splinter: Neutral ⚔️⚔️⚔️
Level:7 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ability: Shield and Retaliate
Speed: 2 ⚡⚡
Health: 3 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Armor: 🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖
Attack: Magic
Mana: 6
The best position of this monster is the first position. The shield ability of Dumacke Orc was really impressive in this battle. I have studied and strategized the battle; I knew that my opponent would like to use a bloodlust summoner.
When i was about to select the summoner, I saw that bloodlust summoner were available - Helios Matriarch and Lobb Lowland. I knew that my opponent would use one of them, and I have feeling that my opponent might use Quora Towershead or Katrelba Gibson.
I have an understanding that it would take a long time for Quora Towershead to eliminate Dumacke Orc if the monster was picked. Therefore, I used Dumacke Orc to defend my frontline against any form of attack, especially melee and rangedK attacks.

Zebajin

Splinter: Earth 🌍🌍🌍🌍
Level: 1⭐
Ability: Armor Strike
Speed: 2⚡⚡
Health: 10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Armor: 1 🪖
Attack: Magic
Mana: 7
The main reason I used four magic monsters was to attack health directly. Zebajin is one of the monsters that could give me such a vibe.
Unfortunately, the armor strike was not activated because a monster with armor attack did not lead the lineup of an opponent when zebajin led the lineup.

Regal Peryton

Splinter: Earth 🌍🌍🌍🌍
Level: 3⭐⭐⭐
Ability: Flying
Speed: 6 ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Health: 10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Armor: None
Attack: Magic
Mana: 5
Regal's speed was the one of the reasons I brought her in. The flying ability was so incredible- if not the flying ability, it would have been eliminated by those sneak monsters. Katrelba Gibson and Dhampir infiltrator. The flying ability made them miss it.
Her immense contribution to the elimination of all opponent monsters was awesome.

Goblin Psychic

Splinter: Earth 🌍🌍🌍🌍
Level: 4⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ability: Tank heal and Affliction
Speed: 1⚡
Health: 10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Armor: None
Attack: Magic
Mana: 6
The three purposes I brought this monster were:
Affliction- it worries me when a monster is difficult to kill and sometimes, it happen when there is a tank heal monster in lineup. I brought in Goblin Psychic to stop such a monster.
Tank heal- it was indeed a good idea to bring Goblin Psychic into this battle. At round one, it added portion of health to Dumacke Orc.
Magic attack- magic attack contributed to the elimination of Djinn Chwala.

Doctor Blight

Splinter: Neutral ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
Level: 2 ⭐⭐
Ability: camouflage, Affliction and Poison
Speed: 1 ⚡
Health: 10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Attack: Magic
Mana: 4
Doctor Blight was very important- the poison ability was very crucial to me. I have won battles with it, even the battle I thought I could not win.

Venari Knifer

Splinter: Earth 🌍🌍🌍🌍
Level: 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ability: Thorns
Speed: 5 ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Health: 10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Attack: Melee
Mana: 6
I knew that my opponent would use sneak a monster.
You could see that two sneak monsters with double attack were used. If not Thorns ability of Venari Knifer, I might not win the battle. I am always scared of Katrelba Gibson because of how he had damaged my monsters from the past battles.
The moment I knew that my opponent would use Katrelba Gibson, I brought in Venari Knifer to damage the health of Katrelba Gibson.
It could not reach the second round because of massive attacks by the two melee monsters with sneak and double attack abilities.

⚔️⚔️Round one⚔️⚔️
Despite that my opponent used summoner that give +1 speed to friendly monsters, it was Regal Peryton that started the attack. It attacked Djinn Chwala and the enrage ability was activated.
Djinn Chwala attacked Dumacke Orc and damaged 4 health; Carnage Titan attacked twice and Dumacke Orc retaliated.
Katrelba Gibson attacked Venari Knifer and damaged 6 health, while Dhampir Infiltrator eliminated it.
Halaran Huntress attacked Dumacke Orc and damaged 2 health.
After Zebajin, Goblin Psychic and Doctor Blight attacked and reduced health of Djinn Chwala to 1.

⚔️⚔️ Round Two⚔️⚔️
Djinn Chwala was eliminated in the beginnig of round two by Regal Peryton.
Goblin Psychic and Dumacke Orc was eliminated in the second round; Carnage Titan was eliminated also.

⚔️⚔️Round 3 ⚔️⚔️
