Hello, Splinterlovers, today I will make a post again about the Splinterlands contest Battle Mage Secrets Challenge. This Week's Theme is Silenced Summoners ruleset.

I usually battled in the Modern Format Diamond League using my 2 scholar accounts from Balthazar scholar bltzr-wizard-710 and bltzr-wizard-711.

Ruleset

• Silenced Summoners, summoners do not give any stat buffs or debuffs or grant/use any abilities.
• Keep Your Distance, only magic and range monsters can be used.
• Weak Magic, magic will hit armor first before reducing HP / Health Point, like the melee and range attack.
• mana cap.
• can use elements Water, Earth, Death, and Dragon element.

My Lineup and strategy

My strategy in this battle :

• We will use the Dragon element in this battle because we can use 2 element units at once, without losing the ability of the summoners, cause they don't have it 😀.
• For the Keep Your Distance ruleset we need a tanker who can defend against magic and range attacks.
• Although having armor is a good thing in Weak Magic, we prefer to buff our tanker, focusing on evading the enemy attack, and ignore this ruleset because it's hard to find a good range and magic unit with armor to use, my scholar unit does not have it.

This is my lineup for this battle

Summoner or monster	Abilities	Description
	Quick the Devious, Summoner. Not have any ability because of the ruleset	We use this Dragon element so we can use a dual element unit. This is the smallest mana cost summoner we have in the Dragon element.
	Chaos Agent, 1st Position, Tanker, Has Ability Dodge, Phase, and Backfire	This tanker depend on the speed and ability to evade the enemy attack., the stats not so good for receiving attack, low HP easy to die.. It has a good evade ability, the Dodge ability which increases the chance of avoiding enemy attacks by 25%. It Can't attack but can reflect the enemy's attack and deal 2 damage, the requirement is the enemy attacks this monster and misses because it has the Backfire ability. The Phase ability make this unit can evade the magic attack. With this ability, this unit now can evade range and magic attack.
	River Nymph, 2nd position, attacker and support. Has the ability Cleanse, Amplify, and Swiftness.	We use this unit because it has the Swiftness* ability it's a good support ability that can increase the speed of all our allied monsters we need it especially to support our tanker Chaos Agent. The support ability Cleanse will remove any negative effects from our monster in the first position. Although it has low stats but this is a magic unit so I put it here, when our tanker dies and moves to the first position this unit canstill attack.
	Spirit Hoarder. 3rd position, attacker and support. Has Triage, Dispel, and blind abilities	We need Blind ability (have a 15% chance higher to evade the enemy attack) to enhance our ability to evade the enemy range and magic attack (only for Chaos Agent). Triage ability in this battle will heal the unit not in the first position. The Dispel ability can erase the effect of the buff from the enemy monster in the first position (Swiftness, Bloodlust, Inspire, armor buff, etc). Same reason with River Nymph I put it here behind River Nymph due to the poorer stat than River Nymph.
	Merdaali Guardian, 4th position, support, has the ability Tank Heal, Repair, and Strengthen.	We use this monster to prolong the life of our monster in the front, this unit Heal our monster in the first position and restores the monster armor that has the highest damage (we don't bring units with armor so this ability is useless in this battle). The Strengthen ability will increase the allied monster's HP to +1. This monster is weak against attack so I put it in this position to make sure it's safe from front and back attack, at least for a while.
	Xenith Archer, 4th position, attacker. Has no ability.	We use it because we don't have any other attacker units with 2 mana costs, it's better to bring more units with decent/bad stats/abilities than empty the slot.
	Naga Assassin, 6th position, attacker and Tanker. Has the ability Backfire, and Swiftness.	I use this monster because of the Swiftness ability which can increase all friendly monster speeds by 1 to support our tanker. The Backfire ability will give damage to the enemy unit if can evade the enemy attack (can only evade the range unit in this battle).

Our Formation is finished and we are ready to battle :

Conclusion

This is a hard battle the enemy uses double tanker Void Dragon and Chaos Agent. With the Martyr ability the enemy boosts the unit Void Dragon, fortunately, our Spirit Hoarder can hit it and dispel all the positive buff from Void Dragon, making it easier to hit, our Chaos agent with speed buff and Blind debuff to the enemy unit helps to decrease the enemy's HP with the Backfire ability :

Besides all the above we mention I think another reason we can win this battle is cause we bring Merdaali Guardians who keep healing our unit in the first position.
