Splinterlands battles | Learn by example
In this series I want to showcase certain battles where you can learn from mistakes or from successful moves.
The battle
In opportunity battles I usually do 2 things, I make the most out of the given ability and I expect the enemy to do the same.
I tend to go with a lot of my strongest damage dealers because it's a 99 mana battle. Using anything other than melee monsters would mean that I wouldn't be able to fill the same amount of mana and I would have to settle with "weaker" cards. That said, if you have a very strong alric lineup that would also be a very solid strategy.
Because I'm expecting to also receive a high amount of melee damage, mylor is the perfect summoner.
Basically, I would get wrecked by a very strong magic lineup, but the mustang gives me a chance against mediocre magic lineups.
In these type of battles we have to think about who of our monsters will be attacked first. In this case, the one with the lowest health will have to absorb the most damage. This is the reason why I like stone gollem here. It may not be the strongest card in the lineup, but he is a perfect addition because he is really good at absorbing those first hits.
I can't say the enemy had the best lineup in my opinion, simply because his cards are pretty low mana overall, maybe he does lack a lot of the stronger cards. However, I do like the inclusion of shield bearer, the taunt ability saves his damage dealers some time. The fact that he places the shieldbearer behind the elven defender is also a smart moves because this makes the shieldbearer stay alive just a bit longer.
The key takeaway here is that you should think about who of your monsters will be attacked first. Even though a high damage card like mitica headhunter might seem better here, you will soon realize that she would die extremely fast and that stone gollem is actually the better option, even though he is weaker in general and there is no mana cap.
