**Hello there! @saydie** here, playing **Splinterlands** everyday!

This will be my entry for this weeks **[Battle Mage Secrets](https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@splinterlands/battle-mage-secrets-weekly-challenge-sab7xc)** with the featured ruleset **Explosive Weaponry**. This is a ruleset that gives the Blast ability on all monsters.


The Battle that I will show to you this week was from  my **@crimepoet** account which is an alt  account I'm using  **Nfty Arcade** with max level CL deck and was playing at the modern format of the Diamond League. Before I show you the battle, let us learn more about this ruleset.

<div class="text-justify">

The best strategy is to have fast monsters with Snipe, Sneak, Opportunity and Scattershot. For defense, Shield and Void will come in handy.

<br>

This battle has a 17 mana limit to use for cards where the active ruleset were Lost Magic, Up to Eleven and the featured ruleset for this week which was **Explosive Weaponry**. With this in consideration, my lineup was consist of:

* **1<sup>st</sup> Position**: **Antoid Platoon** - A small mana tank with the *Shield* ability allowing it to recived less damage from melee and range attack and for each monsters that will die in battle, this will gain +1 health due to its *Scavenge* ability.
<br>


* **2<sup>nd</sup> Position**: **Venator Kinjo** has the *Reflection Shield* ability which makes it invulnerable to *Blast* damage and at the same time, it has *Camouflage* which makes it untargetable by the opponent. It also has *Immunity* to negative status effects while reducing the speed of all the opponent monsters with *Slow* as long as it remains on the battle. 
<br>

## Did My Strategy Work?

</center>

___

<div class="text-justify">

And with it comes the end of my battle for this week with **Explosive Weaponry** ruleset. As you see, both parties got *Reflection Shield* with them in order to block the damage from *Blast* and what it ends up was who will defeat the opponent first which at some point, I thought I would lose if not for my *Poison* working on the target on the first attack.
  
That was it for this post. Thank you and see you at the next one.
