###### We all know that, Splinterlands allows us to battle in ranked battles, tournaments and even in Guild Brawl battles. So, those 3 are the major ones along with others like soulkeep, conflicts as other ones and we are going to witness another battle mode i.e. survival mode soon.

###### But, apart from this, we do have another kind of battle we can do i.e. directly challenge the fellow Splinterlands players!!!!

Yes, we can challenge literally (although it's up to that person to accept it who has been challenged).

So, in this week's **Community Engagement Challenge**, we have this topic of writing about *custom challenges* and here I go with details.

###### Custom challenges can be initiated from ranked *battle battle* by selecting the user either from the battles we have completed by clicking on our opponent's name and then selecting challenge option as shown below.

So, this option enables us to challenge someone and we have to wait for that person to accept, otherwise, the screen keeps on loading the battle screen.

###### Now, let's see what are the different options we have under **New Challenge** screen.

As we can see from above screenshot, One of the options will be to select the cards which we want to be part of the challenge battle.

Options are to select all cards, or only gold cards or cards from individual editions such as Alpha, Gladiator and all.

###### We also have an option to select the level of summoner with options such as novice, adept, intermediate, expert and advanced and based on the selection, the level of cards will be restricted.

As a beginner, it's best to use novice option but if you are already a seasoned campaigner, then expert or advanced will be a better option.

That's about the additional battling option we have, but, it will definitely be not a popular option as the invited person may or may not be playing and we keep guessing about the person accepting the challenge or not.

Yes, if the players who are challenged are all together, then it will be fun to interact with the friends directly and get to know the aspects of this custom challenge option.

I am yet to try this, but will try it some time over the weekend and will update it if anybody is interested to know.
That's all guys in this One, enjoy the new week and enjoy the Trump inauguration moments and the new era in history of America!!!

###### We have the option to set the MANA cost cap as well!!!

We just need to either enter the value manually or just click on the up or down arrows available at the right corner of the text box.

Just a point to note is that, 99 is the maximum MANA cap option which can be seklected.

Last but not the least is the option to select rule sets. Rule sets as we know, are the main thing in any battle and decides which cards we need to use based on the different rule sets.

Although I didn't check it much, but I think it should allow more than 1 rule set to be used in a battle and have fun battling it out.

So, based on the selected options, the course of the battle will depend and after selecting all the options mentioned, we can click on submit to initiate the challenge and until the opponent selects yes, the screen will be in loading state and I am sure there will be a timeout option to break the silence in case the challenged person doesn't opt to battle.
