### **Translated by [ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com/ "chatgpt")**.

I have mentioned several times that defensive compositions are one of my favorites in **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock "underlock splinterlands")** because if applied correctly, they allow you to control the field and your opponent's cards, shaping the match according to your strategy. But for this to work, you need to think carefully about your skill combinations and correctly predict the type of composition your opponent will choose; otherwise, your entire plan can easily fall apart.

Today I will share with you one of the compositions I like to use from the **Life** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/c/c6/Splinter-life.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/15?cb=20210212224241 element that performs well in field control, choosing cards to act as Tank, Support, and an Offensive card to prevent the opponent's supports from staying alive for too long.

The **Shieldbearer** is essential due to the **Taunt** https://i.imgur.com/a7FyfRN.png ability and its ability to tank physical damage with **Shield** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_shield.png. The summoner **Grandmaster Rathe** is a great complement by giving the **Void Armor** https://imgur.com/LDmqyNV.png ability to the tank, and in this specific match, it was even better because we had the **Counterspell** https://i.imgur.com/VnNy0Dc.png ruleset present.

For support, we have **Adelade Brightwing** and **Venari Crystalsmith** to provide **Tank Heal** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_tank-heal.png, **Repair** https://i.imgur.com/qgoXFmp.png, and **Resurrect** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_resurrect.png. For the offensive role, I chose **Stitch Leech** to attack the backline and serve as a secondary tank if the first one dies twice.

I was unlucky that the opponent chose two cards with **Affliction** https://i.imgur.com/tcXJ3IC.png, but luckily none of the attacks managed to apply the effect on my card 😆. This made it much easier for my combo to work, but it showed that it would be ideal to have a card like **Silvershield Bard** with the **Cleanse** https://imgur.com/bU5XReT.png ability to prevent this healing cancellation from becoming a problem.

Despite relying a bit on luck, the strategy worked adequately, and it didn't take long for all the opponent's cards to be eliminated while my team remained intact *(despite the **Resurrect** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_resurrect.png being used)*.

Thinking about something I could improve in this situation, replacing **Venari Crystalsmith** with **Divine Healer** and **Silvershield Bard** would be a very positive change. However, there needs to be a way to choose a card at a lower level than you have because I already have a level 6 Divine Healer rented, and I wouldn't want to use it in a match with **Counterspell** https://i.imgur.com/VnNy0Dc.png.

This would be a great addition to the game, even if the player had to buy/rent two copies of the same card at different levels, it would be an incentive for more competitive players to further enhance their collections. Therefore, I leave my idea recorded, and who knows, we might see it implemented in **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock "underlock splinterlands")** at some point in the future.

Já mencionei várias vezes que as composições defensivas são uma das minhas favoritas no **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock "underlock splinterlands")** pois se aplicada corretamente, te permite controlar o campo e as cartas do seu adversário, moldando a partida conforme sua estratégia. Mas para que isso funcione é necessário pensar bem nas suas combinações de habilidades e prever corretamente o tipo de composição que seu adversário escolherá, caso contrário todo o seu plano pode ir por água abaixo facilmente.

Hoje compartilharei com vocês uma das composições que gosto de utilizar do elemento **Vida** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/c/c6/Splinter-life.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/15?cb=20210212224241 que exerce bem essa função de controle de campo, escolhendo cartas para exercer a função de Tank, Suporte e uma carta Ofensiva para evitar que os suportes do oponente fiquem vivos por muito tempo.

O **Shieldbearer** é essencial devido à habilidade **Taunt** https://i.imgur.com/a7FyfRN.png e sua capacidade de tankar danos físicos com **Shield** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_shield.png. O invocador **Grandmaster Rathe** é um ótimo complemento por dar a habilidade **Void Armor** https://imgur.com/LDmqyNV.png ao tank e nessa partida em específico ficou ainda melhor por termos a ruleset **Counterspell** https://i.imgur.com/VnNy0Dc.png presente.

Para a função de suporte temos a **Adelade Brightwing** e a **Venari Crystalsmith** para fornecer **Tank Heal** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_tank-heal.png, **Repair** https://i.imgur.com/qgoXFmp.png e **Resurect** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_resurrect.png e com o papel ofensivo eu escolhi o **Stitch Leech** para atacar a backline e servir de tank secundário caso o primeiro venha a falecer duas vezes.

Dei o azar do oponente ter escolhido duas cartas com **Affliction** https://i.imgur.com/tcXJ3IC.png mas a sorte de nenhum dos ataques ter conseguido aplicar o efeito na minha carta 😆. Isso facilitou muito para que todo o meu combo funcionasse, mas mostrou que seria ideal ter uma carta como o **Silvershield Bard** com a habilidade **Cleanse** https://imgur.com/bU5XReT.png para impedir que esse cancelamento de cura viesse a ser um problema.

Apesar de ter contado um pouco com a sorte, a estratégia funcionou adequadamente e não demorou muito para que todas as cartas do oponente fossem eliminadas enquanto o meu time permaneceu completo *(apesar do **Resurect** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_resurrect.png ter sido utilizado)*.

Pensando em algo que eu poderia melhorar nessa situação, substituir a **Venari Crystalsmith** pela **Divine Healer** e o **Silvershield Bard** seria uma troca muito positiva, entretanto para isso precisaria existir uma forma de escolher uma carta com level inferior ao que você possui, afinal eu já tenho uma Divine Healer level 6 alugada e eu não gostaria de utilizá-la em uma partida com **Counterspell** https://i.imgur.com/VnNy0Dc.png.

Essa inclusive seria uma ótima adição para o jogo, mesmo que o jogador precisasse comprar/alugar duas cópias da mesma carta em leveis diferentes, seria um incentivo para aqueles jogadores mais competitivos a aprimorar ainda mais suas coleções, portanto deixo registrada a minha ideia e quem sabe poderemos vê-la implementada no **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock "underlock splinterlands")** em algum momento do futuro.
