Hello everyone, I've been inactive in both splinterlands and blogging for a few weeks, but I'll be back next week. I missed a lot of Splinterlands updates and had forgotten most of the game's strategies, and with this BRAWL, I had to learn new strategies and relearn old ones the hard way by losing my matches.
I'll talk about some of my battles, interesting strategies, and our guild's performance in this BRAWL.

# MY STATS

Yes, I had to learn the strategies the hard way. Three games were lost and one was a draw. I've been struggling in our last two brawls, losing three games while competing in the FRAY 1.

# GAMES

### GAME 1 - MAGIC & HEAL STRATEGY

The first strategy I rediscovered was to use the ALL magic lineup with double heal. Because the match rulesets were **EQUALIZER** and **FOG OF WAR**, all damage will be received by the first position monster unless the enemy used a monster that has **SCATTERSHOT** ability, which is highly unlikely. That's why I went for ALL MAGIC damage monsters with two monsters with the **TANK HEAL** ability; fortunately for me, the enemy went for range damage and didn't get an **AFFLICTION** monster that prevents healing.

### GAME 2 -  MY TERRIBLE MISTAKE

One of the most important things I forgot in **BRAWLS** is that the **GLADIUS** cards have the **BLOODLUST** ability; it did not occur to me that the enemy might pick a **GLADIUS** card in this match and I paid the price; picking monsters with 1 HP in BRAWLS is risky because they can boost the stats of the **GLADIUS** cards, making your life harder, and this game is a great example of that.

### GAME 3 - BUG GAME - Surrender

This is the first time I've encountered this bug; I'm not sure what happened, but we both surrendered.

### GAME 4 - LEARNED SOMETHING NEW

This is the first time I've faced this strategy, and I think this lineup is very clever. The enemy used the ruleset **KEEP YOUR DISTANCE**, which means that melee monsters are not allowed in this match, so he went for **FAILED SUMMONER** to counter magic, **GOBLIN PSYCHIC** to heal it, and **HALFLING ALCHEMIST** to reduce the enemy's damage; his lineup in this ruleset is excellent, and I believe it will be difficult to counter it in this match.

### GAME 5 - BOOSTING MY GLADIUS CARD

Picking a **GLADIUS** card and monsters that can help it, is my favorite strategy in brawls. This is why my strategy for this game revolves around my **ORELLA ABADON** because this monster has a **SNEAK** ability. I chose two other monsters with the **SNEAK** ability to remove the armor of the enemy backline or damage it first, then my **ORELLA ABADON** will finish it, boosting his stats even more.

# AFTERWORDS

I performed poorly in our BRAWL, and not playing the game for 2-3 weeks made a significant difference, which is why this game is so amazing; however, you must be consistent in playing the game or you will fall behind.
I was hoping to maximize my **QOURA** in this BRAWL, but the rulesets I received aren't really good for **QOURA**, and I made a lot of mistakes because I was trying to force my lineups without understanding the new meta, but I learned a lot from these matches that will keep me from making the same mistakes in the future.
