Now and days we are getting battle challenge with some particular ruleset instead of cards. 
Two weeks later there was no condition to making post with particular card, abilities or ruleset but now one have to make a post with that battle ruleset which mentioned by the splinterlands team in weekly challenge. 
Yesterday I purchased `27 Vruz Dragon` promo card. If someone purchases over than 26 card then he will be eligible for certain single gold foil. I was happy by getting 27 card including 26 normal card and one gold foil. For it I burnt 27 voucher on the basis of staking `27000 sps`. Remember that this promo card can be purchased on the basis of your staking SPS amount. It means if you stake 1000 sps then you will be eligible for single card. Promo card sale will be continue till one week from the starting date.

With this battle ruleset all monsters will get two additional armor rather than their actual Stats.

</div>This is Rare summoner from **Fire splinter**. This is Rare Dice Edition summoner with single ability  Piercing. This summoner comes with 3 Mana so in low mana battle ruleset and in Armored battle ruleset it's role becomes important. Although I use hardly this summoner yet is a very useful and impactful summoner ..

**OPPORTUNITY** 
All Monsters including Magic  Melee and Range attack have opportunity ability and will target lowest health monster first. 


**REVERSE SPEED** 
With reverse Speed the monster with lowest health will perform first and there is much chance for evading attack.

## TEAM COMBINATION AND CARD SELECTION 

It was just **31 Mana** battle gameplay with three special rule set. Three Splinter were active for this battle. Mostly I like to use Earth splinter in rivers speed battle rule set but this splinter was not active so I decided to use fire splinter. There is couple of Monsters in fire splinter that can be use in reverse speed battle rule set. In armored up battle rule set,  I like to use **Conqueror the Jacek** as my summoner but it was just 31 battle ruleset gameplay so I decided to use another piercing ability summoner in the form of **Qid Yuff**. For this battle there was another battle ruleset that was opportunity so there was plenty of option to use Melee Monsters with reverse speed ability. I made a combination of 5 Melee monster and a single Magic monster. In this combination there was a Rust ability Monster Living Lava to reduce two armor  of the opponent team.

## Here is my battle squad

## DO I LIKE TO BATTLE WITH ARMORED UP BATTLE RULESET? WHY OR WHY NOT? 


Armored up is a ruleset of splinterlands ecosystem so one have to battle with that whether we like or not. Yes I feel happy with this rule set because for this ruleset I have plenty of Monsters and summoners with that I can play with an eas. Specifically in Armored up battle ruleset I like to use Conqueror the Jacek a Piercing  additional speed and Aimless ability summoner. One more summoner Qid Yuff that I can use in this battle ruleset.  Beside it the perfect option is Obsidian a Magic Additional summoner that be effective in such battle ruleset. Yes it can be a difficult task in Up and Close battle ruleset. There be also pretty good option using couple of Demoralize with Thorn abilities Monsters at first and last position. Mostly people try this combination in up and close battle ruleset with Rust Monsters.

## ABOUT MY STRATEGY AND PLAN. DID MY STRATEGY WORKED WELL? 

It was a battle in which three important rule were applied in the form of Opportunity, Armored up and Reverse speed.  So it was difficult task to use balanced team combination. Earth Splinter was a perfect option with **Obsidian** combination but this splinter was not active. Finally I decided to use **Qid Yuff** a piercing summoner with **Melee attack** combination. There is pretty Monsters with lowest health in Fire unit. It was opportunity ruleset too, so these Melee Monsters can be use from any position. 
Another priority was using Rust ability monster in Armored up battle ruleset. Fortunately my opponent was also using maximum Melee Monsters. Thus my team was ready with five Melee Monsters and a single monster with magic attack in the form of Doctor Blight. Out of them Three Monster were with lowest health. It was Bloodlust and Rust that made my way more easy. I want this battle just losing two monster. In this way I can say that my strategy worked well.
