You have already read about certain change in splinterlands taking various Ranked Battle & League Rating. Absolutely it is going to be good especially for those who battles individual instead of using bots. If you want to know more then you can check it [HERE](https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/various-ranked-battle-and-league-rating-changes)
Recently Splinterlands team also revealed  **Red Panda** a Legendary Chaos legion airdrop **Dragon Summoner** . 
Really awesome summoner with **Triage,  additional health and Camouflage** ability. I was eligible for that but when I claimed, it was missing that was really pathetic. I checked couple of Battle and all Monsters having Camouflage ability except of front monster.

 </div> 





|Edition|Rarity|Splinter|Price|Abilities|
|-|-|-|-|-|
|Riftwatcher|Legendary|Life|$4.68|Hwinds, F.field|

This is one of the most useful Legendary life unit Monster from Riftwatcher, especially against Range additional summoners . I was going to use this Monster as a weapon against max level Yodin Zaku with one more Headwinds Monster. This legendary Monster comes with 9 Mana, two Magic attack 1 speed ,9 health 3 armor at level ². At level ² this monster provides Headwinds and Forcefield ability.  At maximum level we get Last stand ability. 

## MY SUMMONER ILTHAN

</div>


|Edition|Rarity|Splinter|Price|Abilities|
|-|-|-|-|-|
|Riftwatcher|Epic|Life|$7.98|ReturnFire|

It was a battle against Max level Yodin Zaku,  so it was an appropriate summoner to use against Range additional and Blast ability summoner. There was a single reason to use it's Return Fire ability. Elthan is an origin of Riftwatcher Edition. This is an Epic summoner with Return Fire and Additional speed. Now and days mostly time I use this summoner whenever I have to battle with some certain battle ruleset.

### BATTLE RULESET AND MANA 


It was 48 Mana  gameplay rules and  only 3 Splinter Fire,Life and Water were active for this battle. When I checked opponent's recently played team then I found that maximum time he was using Yodin zaku and it was 48 Mana battle, so there was much possibility to use Yodin Zaku. I was ready with Ilthan, Reflection Shield and two more Headwinds ability monster. 
There were three rules applied for this battle in the form of Target Practice, What doesn't kill you and Close Range. 

#### ●Target Practice 

It means all Magic and Range Monsters have Snipe ability. 

#### ●What doesn't kill you 

According to this battle ruleset all Monsters have Enrage ability..

#### ●Close Range 

It means all Range Monsters will able to attack from first position.

## TEAM COMBINATION AND CARD PLACING 

●**COEURL LURKER**
●**CORSAIR BOSUN**
●**WARRIOR OF PEACE**
●**RUNEMANCER ATUAT**
●**DAX PARAGON**
●**DOCTOR BLIGHT**

It was just an expectation to use Yodin Zaku by opponent and I settled my field according that.  To reduce the impact of Range attack I placed two Headwinds monster with the combination of Return fire Ilthan. First place was secured for Taunt ability Monster and second position was reflection Shield monster to reduce the impact of blast.
 Adding more value in battle I placed a single monster with Ampifire ability in the form of  Dax Paragon.  Single card without attack in the form of Warrior of Peace.  One monster that I placed at last position without any purpose that I hardly miss.
  Yes it was Doctor Blight. It means Three Monster with magic attack and two monster with Melee attack and one monster without attack to use Demoralize and Headwinds. Thus my team was ready to take charge against Maximum Legendary summoner Yodin Zaku and it's Blast. 

### ■COEURL LURKER 

<div class="pull-left">

</div>

This is a great Legendary discovery from **Rift Watcher with Taunt, Dodge and Phase** ability.. I was using this Monster at first position to drag the attention of all opponent's Monsters due to its Taunt ability. 
This is my loving `Neutral Legendary` monster with pretty good health, speed and Melee attack. Opponent battle squad missed couple of chances due to its `Phase and Dodge` ability. While opponent's battle squad was busy over **COEURL LURKER** my rest of the Monsters destroying opponent's monsters. No doubt each penny is worth what I invested over this monster.

## ■CORSAIR BOSUN 

<div class="pull-right">

</div>


This is another `Riftwatcher` Discovery with Reach, cleanse and Reflection Shield ability. It was a battle against **Yodin Zaku**, so it's role was important for this battle due to its **Reflection shield**.
 Whenever I have to battle against blast battle ruleset then I use a taunt ability at first position after that Reflection Shield ability monster Corsair BOSUN. This Monster comes with 5 Melee attack 3 speed 5 armor and seven health at level⁵. I like this Monster very much because of its Cleanse and Reflection shield.


![5s4dzRwnVbzGY5ssnCE4wXzkeAEXyVtgk1ApQTwHMTp6y5PvEo1yenn8ugR5JkpMEp2Xqe2NNP52oNbN5fi21rRRur27LyuMJmgX2Z7xDHuftfvfWBa9ooDZuxhfdMXMi9YowV91NSGmQk9SACpsvF3tpChEhfCtXKK4bSW.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/certain/23xf7ZCEZwhMW2HAgKa8K7Zrt642nveDoimrjhGVqwNaqwkiAmdu3V7PdJ5vpjsrqstrn.jpeg)

## ■WARRIOR OF PEACE 

<div class="pull-left">
https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/certain/AKNK1KUt43akgXiMNjvFuNyxEaMeMFh3Eatw1rutDmeqUG2yTBqHfRNYgyumcDo.png
</div>

It was the single monster without attack that I was using only for it's **Headwinds and Demoralize** ability. It is seven Mana monster with pretty good 12 health. As its name is warrior of peace you will get exactly.
 No violence just a support behind the curtain. Mostly time I use this monster whenever I have to battle against Melee additional Monster or Range monster. 

## ■RUNEMANCER ATUAT 

<div class="pull-right">
https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/certain/ALAG8Tx34yHf6DvUZYukhGDKqkzvzYyQfEG1fK3mMVjoE5S4DbqRYD8ycSzKHe5.png
</div>

This is today's theme card and I was using this Monster especially for it's Headwinds ability. This is one of the most useful **Riftwatcher** Legendary Monster from Life unit with two Magic attack, 1 speed, 3 Armor and 9 health. 
It was the second Monster that I was using with Headwinds ability. This Monster comes with two special abilities `Headwinds`  and `Forcefield`. At 3 level we get Last stand ability. 


![5s4dzRwnVbzGY5ssnCE4wXzkeAEXyVtgk1ApQTwHMTp6y5PvEo1yenn8ugR5JkpMEp2Xqe2NNP52oNbN5fi21rRRur27LyuMJmgX2Z7xDHuftfvfWBa9ooDZuxhfdMXMi9YowV91NSGmQk9SACpsvF3tpChEhfCtXKK4bSW.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/certain/23xf7ZCEZwhMW2HAgKa8K7Zrt642nveDoimrjhGVqwNaqwkiAmdu3V7PdJ5vpjsrqstrn.jpeg)

## ■DAX PARAGON 

<div class="pull-left">

</div>

It was the most important `Epic` monster for this battle that I placed at 5th position. I wanted to keep safe this card that is why I placed in middle because I was using `Return fire` ability summoner. In such combination it's **Ampifire** ability going to be crucial for this gameplay. 
This monster also comes with pretty good health in two Mana. Although it's magic attack is just one but Affliction and Ampifire are enough for this cute monster. You will see that it's role was great for this battle.




## ■DOCTOR BLIGHT 
<div class="pull-right">

</div>


This is my first priority in any battle rule set. Although till now I am not able to purchase this Legendary neutral Monster but throughout the season I continued rented it from rent market. I placed this Monster at last position to give enough chance for **scavenger**. Although it was `Snipe`  battle ruleset yet I given place it  in battle squad. This Legendary Monster comes with **Affliction, Scavenger, Camouflage and Poison** ability.

## DO I USE RUNEMANCER ATUAT OFTEN? WHY OR WHY NOT? 

No doubt RUNEMANCER ATUAT is a good card that can be use various times in certain battle rule set but I use it when I have to battle against Yodin Zaku or Selenia Sky, specially in high Mana gameplay.  
It means there is very less chance to use this Legendary monster often. You can see that it is only two level monster in my card wallet. Till now I have not thought to upgrade it. Just using for it's Headwinds ability. 

## DID MY STRATEGY WORKED WELL? WILL I TRY DIFFERENTLY IN NEXT TIME? 

Yes I am sure here that my strategy and plan worked well what I was expecting from this battle squad. Using Return Fire ability summoner, putting two Headwinds monster and one Ampifire was a key point for a compressive win. Fortunately there were four Monsters with Range attack in opponent's battle squad. 
When I check opponent's recently played team then I decided to use such a card combination with summoner that can help for a sure win. No doubt there was a huge role of Dodge and Taunt ability monster Coeurl  Lurker that's why couple of Missed chance from opponent side. Ampifire that always be effective in magic reflect,  thorn or Return fire. You can see that despite max level Yodin Zaku my team won this battle in 3rd Round without any damages from my side..
