***Hello Friends. How are you all, I hope everyone is fine and healthy. Must be enjoying his day there. Here I am again with my Battle Mage Secrets Weekly Challenge. This is my second battle which I am sharing with `Armored up` battle rule. This time I am sharing the battle `against Alric Stormbringer of level 4`. When I won this battle, my collection power was around 95k and my rating was poor 2027.***
### Battle Rule and Mana
***This time I got `42 mana` and 2 types of battle rules to play with. The first is `Taking sides` in which neutral monsters may not be used in battles. And the second battle rule was `Armored Up`, in which all monsters get two additional shields. Only four elements were active to play this battle, which were `Water` `Earth` `Life` and `Dragon`. Because I had a slight inkling that the opponent would come with Stormbringer, I chose the summoner `Immortalis` with the void ability of Earth.***

#### My Summoner
***Immortalis***
**This is the best summoner in Earth Splinter in my opinion. It is of `6 mana`. It has 3 types capability. In the first it reduces one health of the opposing team. In the second and third it gives its partner the `Void` ability and `shatter` ability respectively. void ability that reduces magic attacks of the opposing team. And in Shatter Ability, when this card attacks someone, their shield ends immediately. And it's also reduce health of Opponent's all cards.Because the battle rule was Armored up, this summoner was very useful in this battle.**

#### TERRACEOUS GRUNT
***I rarely use this card. but when I choose IMMORTALIS Summoner I definitely use this card. I put this card in first place. Because he has Dodge ability, this card is of `6 mana`. In this battle I used this card a `level 3 gold` card so it is doing `two Melee` attacks with two attacking speed it has 10 health. It has a total of `4 shields`. Two of which it got because of the `armored Up` battle rule. And got two because of the `protect` ability of my queen mycelia.It has a total of 3 abilities in this Battle.

#### BRAMBLE PIXIE
***BRAMBLE PIXIE It is `7 mana` card and makes `3 Melee` attacks with one Attacking Speed. It has 6 health. But because I have used it's `level 3` gold card in this battle, it is attacking with two attacking speeds in this battle. It also has 7 health.It has a total of 4 shields.

***This card is of `6 mana`. This card attacks `2 magic` with an attacking speed. It has three health at one level, but because I used it `3 level gold` card in this battle, it has 5 health.It has a total of 4 shields. Two of which it got because of the armored Up battle rule. And got two because of the protect ability of my queen mycelia. It has the `tank heal` ability, in which it increases the health of the first position card by three per round. I put this card on `3rd place` and because of my Summoner it also has `Void` and `Shatter` abilities.***
#### MUSHROOM SEER
***This card is of `5 mana`. Attacks `two magic` with one attacking speed. It has three health. It also has a great ability, which is my favorite, `SILENCE` Due to this ability, it `reduces the magic` attack of the opposing team.I put this card on the fourth position.

It has a total of 4 shields. Two of which it got because of the armored Up battle rule. And got two because of the protect ability of my queen mycelia..***
#### QUEEN MYCELIA
***One of my favorite cards from Earth Splinter is QUEEN MYCELIA. This card is of `4 mana` and attacks `one magic` with one attacking speed. It has four health. It has a `protect`ability which gives `2 shield` to all partner cards, so I like it a lot. This card also has `VOID` and `SHATTER` ability on my summoner `Immortalis` because of it. ability***
#### BEATRIX IRONHAND
***This card is of `6 mana`. Performs two ranged attacks with 3 attacking speed. But because I have used it `2 level` so Chara is doing `three range` attack with speed. It has 5 health. It has `close range ability` in which it can attack from any position. And cards that have close range abilities are my favorites. I put this card last. This card has a total of 3 abilities.***
**`Close Range`-Monsters with the Close Range ability can perform ranged attacks from the first position.**
**`Void`-Reduced damage from Magic attacks.**
**`Shatter` - Target's armor is destroyed when hit by an attack from Monsters with Shatter.**

#### DID MY STRATEGY WORKED?
***In any type of game, if you can get an idea beforehand or know which player or card your opponent is playing with, then winning becomes much easier. This proved to be absolutely correct in this time's battle. Because I saw the opponent in the last few battles, he was constantly coming with Alric `Stormbringer`, so I had an idea that Hua would play with magic attack cards. So I used the summoner `Immortalis` with Earth's Void ability. Which gave `void` ability to all my fellow cards. And because this summoner also has the `shatter` ability which is very beneficial for the Armored Up battle rule. And I used mushroom seer which has `silent` ability which reduces magic attacks of the opponent. I used a healing Goblin PSYCHIC and three ranged IRONHAND. So overall it can be seen that my strategy worked and that's why I won the battle.***
#### DO YOU LIKE PLAY WITH `ARMORED UP battle rule?
***As I already mentioned, I like this battle rule because most of the people in this battle use magic attack cards. Although I do too. But since I have the legendary immortalis summoner, which has void and shutter ability, it gives all my cards a void ability to avoid magic attacks and a shatter ability to deal with armor. Overall, if this cloud makes me cry then I don't have any problem because I have a great summoner for it. So whenever this battle rule comes up, I am very happy because I can get an idea of โโwhat cards the opponent is going to play. And if you also use cards that do magicka attacks in such battle rules, you will always get the post result.***
