Hello to everyone. How are you all?
I'm hoping everything is okay. I'm back with a new Battle of Splinterlands that I think you'll find interesting. In this battle, you can see that higher-level cards are useless if you don't know how to use them correctly. In this battle, you can see that I used a maxed Rare Fire summoner against a maxed Legendary Fire summoner. My summoner was maxed out, but all my cards weren't maxed out. On the other hand, the opponent came with all maxed cards and some of the best cards in the deck. But I also used some of the best fire cards in my deck.

**In this post, I will highlight my lineup and what happened in any round.**

As usual, both summoners applied their abilities. Mine increased my monster's one melee attack, and the Opponent summoner increased one melee one speed to their monsters and decreased one health from my monsters. After that, the primary battle started.

You may have noticed reverse speed rules in the battle rules. That means the lowest speed monster will attack first, and I placed Grum Flameblade in the first position, which had the lowest speed. So it attacked first. It struck the Serpentine Soldier but could do nothing but destroy the armour. Due to Serpentine Soldier's Thorn's ability, Grum loses Flameblade and two pieces of armour.

After that, Kobold Miner attacked the opponent's Serpent of the flame and destroyed its two armours, but Serpentine Spy and Giant Roc missed their attack.

After that, the Kobold Miner of the opposing team attacks and kills my Kobold Miner. And then the opposing team's Giant Roc and Serpentine Soldier reduced my team's Grum Flameblade by five health points.

**I won the battle and got 1.497 SPS. That was one of the best battles I battled.**

<center>**What is the reason for winning this battle?**</center>

Adding Grum Flameblade to my team was a great decision. It showed its power from start to finish. Moreover, other cards also performed reasonably well. The enemy may not have noticed the reverse speed rule, so they arranged the lineup with high-speed cards. Moreover, since his summoner and speed increased by one, his Kobold Miner was not very effective. The main point From this battle is that it is possible to win against any opponent if you organize the team by understanding the rules.

That Was All I wanted to share with you. Thank You, Everyone.
