Good morning splinterlands lovers, the season is about to end, the battles are really tough right now because some players really want to top the league so that they can get the rewards. Therefore, the small players are going to suffer because the bigger your account, the more chances you have over small players: even though you are very skillful as small players, it will be very hard to be on the leaderboard. 
 Some months ago, I was really eager to be among the leaderboard; I really wanted to taste how that leaderboard was because some of my friends are always on the leaderboard and I was really moved by their testimonies. I was fortunate to be in the top 10, a few hours to the end of the season, I saw myself in number 45: that was how I got a pack then. 

Today, there is no more a leaderboard; you need to fight your way to success. The SP, the level of your cards and your skills determine how many rewards chest you will get in a season.  I believe I can still get more season rewards before the end of the season. 

DJINN INFERNI ABULITIES
Wao, I have never sat down and read the abilities of djinn inferni until today. What a spectacular ability Djinn inferni possessed. Thank you splinterlands team for making me realize how effective Djinn inferni is. Without this battle challenge, i may not realize how important djinn inferni is. 
The Giant killer was incredible; it kills high priest Dairus in just and attack. This is the first time I noticed it since i have been playing splinterlands. It does double damage against target that costs 10 or more mana. 
STUN ABILITY: This ability is very common in splinterlands; the moment stun is activated on a target monster; such a monster will skip the next round. I often used monsters with stun ability in battles, and I knew how monsters with stun ability can give you victory in battles. 

Comparing how powerful this monster is; 7 mana cost is not too much for the monster. It has good speed and no armor. Djinn inferni is very good to use when a high number of mana is given in battles: since it does double damage against target with 10 or more mana. It is very sure that monsters with a high number of mana will be used. 

The magic ability of Djinn inferni is another factor that makes me continue using the monster. Therefore, without special monsters and summoners that allow magic attack to hit the armor before the health; djinn inferni hit the health of other monsters directly.

MONSTERS ARRANGEMENT
![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmatxfFgdiGiE4zWHKaJixP4M8qhRy4314tfTULLFzL7Bm/living_lava.png)
* LIVING LAVA: I just want to gamble on this monster because I was very sure that my opponent would use magic monsters in this battle: I was also sure that there would melee attack monsters in my opponent lineup. Therefore, the shield ability would reduce the excessive damage by melee and ranged monsters. 

What got me scared most in this battle was the two monsters with resurrected ability in my opponent’s lineup; I thought I would lose the battle. But the strategy I used made me to win the battle.  

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQ74EzRjMhnmHem43GUeHVUH6j9K8ZCToy8iqDPCMWbaz/fineas_rage.png)
* FINEAS RAGE: 4 melees, 5 speed, 9 health and reach ability was the major i like to use this monster. Fineas rage was the first monster to attack in this battle due to its speed. The reach ability made it a perfect monster in the second position; that is the suitable and sweetest position for fineas rage in this battle. 
Using fineas rage in other position rather than first or second position could make it not to attack. 

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmderfFvH3n5rhGoAtQ7SSgkDvCtR7Rpp1JRSyYyWbD1UM/countess_sinash.png)
* COUNTESS SINASH: The moment I was able to activate countess sinash to level 2, since then it became one of my choice monsters I splinterlands. 
Its swiftness was a big advantage to me in this battle, given additional one speed to all my monsters that made all the monsters attack faster. 
Without countess sinash, living lava would have been a monster to attack last or second to the last; but it attacks before stitch leech. 
The opportunity ability of this monster also helps, if not for the opportunity ability, it wouldn’t have been easy for me in this battle. 
If all my monsters attack legionnaire alvar, it simply means legionnaire alvar would have been resurrected twice in this battle, and most of my monsters would have been destroyed.
The plan of my opponent was to use legionnaire alvar to hold me down so that the three sneak ability monsters could destroy my monsters from behind; This was the reason he selected three monsters with sneak ability- uraeus, stitch leech and silvershield assassin.  
But I selected two opportunity monsters to quickly destroy the sneak ability monsters with small health.

* DJINN INFERNI: The giant kill ability was activated when high priest Dairus led the battle. When Djinn inferni attacked high priest Dairus, 6 health was damaged and the monster was eliminated. 
Djinn inferni and serpentine spy were the only monsters left in my lineup. Inferni gave me the victory

 * SERPENTINE SPY: opportunity monsters are very good; they destroyed those monsters with smallest health in battles.  I selected two opportunity monsters to quickly destroy those monsters with small health.

* TENYII STRIKER:  I added tenyii strike to attack from behind. 

* In conclusion, this is a monster one needs to be used frequently. I have never read how giant killer ability: today, I have experienced how djinn inferni fight in a battle. 
I will use this monster when high mana is given in battle because I knew that most off the players would use monster with higher mana when high mana is given. 

I stand up for success, and success is not achieved by merely making mouth, No room for laziness, no room for idleness.
