Since only melee were allowed in the battle, it looked like a no brainer. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/23xB1H6kn9hZvgpMskNVRT2g8BEEZWddP1RcxE2CyvQptFPx8aesCMVHrxEEiU6yNptyb.png) - - - **Battle Tactics** - - - In first position, I selected **Xenith Monk**. With a speed of 3, health of 6 and melee attack of 1, it looked good. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/EoK8HeqsCvgBgC7EvFxKiVrVxQB79G5CbsaaURkS9Zuaw4vuWWFpbB8rHWborPAPks7.png) _{Xenith Monk in first position} ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/23xB1H6kn9hZvgpMskNVRT2g8BEEZWddP1RcxE2CyvQptFPx8aesCMVHrxEEiU6yNptyb.png) I selected **Goblin Thief** in second position. With its ***sneak*** ability and melee attack of 2, I was convinced it would do a lot of damage. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/Eoc5YPRMSkCrbhLQUVjGiYhHeGanSNVtM9C8cYow7WLupEYDJJBnUrsn4yzub5ZT7GL.png) _{Goblin Thief in the second position} In third position I selected **Ureaus** who also has the ***sneak*** ability. With a speed of 2 and a melee attack of 1, it would combine with Goblin Thief to sneak on my enemy. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/EoCh6xikEeZeT3LasCXJdTSwUVtaTxdd6hAWyeXtxLtcopM7popqEwH5yYDZVvtpCEC.png) _{Uraeus in third position} In the fourth position, I selected **Bertrol Gobson**. With ***opportunity*** and ***blodlust*** abilities, Bertrol Gobson was going to kill the monsters with least health. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/EoCgCLQeJ3Jpt549g7xLdTEE9DmkhzDQig7KrHZZynJtxTjn8fYeqofhktwMG4yZ8h8.png) _{Bertrol Gobson in fourth position} In fifth position, I went with Venari Scout who had the ***opportunity*** ability. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/EpQvKfg9myhwi7i2ZjeCddZtvNfdWt5jmuuXGDCaATx4EACUNryBf8puBtLqFLFzoeo.png) _{Venari Scout in fifth position} I selected **Hill Giant** for the sixth position although it couldn't attack anywhere except the first position. Due to its health of 6, I thought to use it as a tank for my enemy's sneak monsters. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/EoyQwzCnBC83oBcSbxuV9YPY5egrJtqwrHPWydwCFej5mFcm7Wigc2XPa4rEbhnzXZ3.png) _{Hill Giant in sixth position} ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/23xB1H6kn9hZvgpMskNVRT2g8BEEZWddP1RcxE2CyvQptFPx8aesCMVHrxEEiU6yNptyb.png) ---- **Battle Details** ---- Summoner and unit buffs took effect and the battle began. My enemy's fifth monster **Orella Abadon** attacked my last monster reducing its health to 3. The thorns damage took effect and reduced my enemy's bloodlust monster to a health of 1. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/23tGZbPJkLvG6o1y6WeX4zVvZ2z1PuGsB9tRETBMwKgvVfyfK9rAsKoq4U97n2Z7aaKFw.png) My first monster, **Xenith Monk** did no damage to my enemy's first monster, **Antoid Platoon**. My enemy's third monster, **Serpentine Spy** attacked my third monster removing its shield. The thorns damage took effect and my enemy's third monster died. **Ant Miners** from my enemy's team gained +1 health and my **Berstrol Gobson** monster killed my enemy's Orella Abadon and bloodlusted gaining +1 stats. At that point my enemy had 4 monsters remaining while I still had all of mine. Ant Miners gained +1 health again. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/23tRxavqatopFKMX9FNA2xZ8ZjLdv9cBJ1ww4pAeRofpY52Y4NgNeUaiFRwAFNWQsoGyj.png) My enemy's **Ureaus** attacked my last monsters, lost its shield and lost 2 health from my thorns damage. My **Ureaus** delivered the final blow killing my enemy's Ureaus. My **Goblin Thief** reduced my enemy's Ant Miners health from 5 to 3. My fifth monster missed its attack. My enemy's first monster did -2 health damage to my first monster. But my enemy's first monster lost its shield and received -1 health thorns damage ending round 1. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/Eo8L41g5w25J3EcCEUGL8H9Md4ARCoA7jLMQSZHsyeDALGWzkgDgePciCuKMWrD62Hv.png) At the start of round 2, my **Bertrol Gobson** killed my enemy's second monster and bloodlusted. My first monster did 0 damage to my enemy's first monster while my Ureaus, Goblin Thief and Venari Scout killed my enemy's last monster. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/23tGXSwwdHdFEDBbwzYBakYoH1ggtHUByyTo5LxonUfU9NszEbxJtC5qSjqCUEVXz1Kbf.png) My enemy's first monster attacked my first monster and ended up with -1 health damage ending round 2. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/Eo44sERiGMJXFd4Wbb41afjtwHDYTpBvBr2Ga9PGYfgrCGYG1Xv3p7d9YTzGZhko3CH.png) In round 3, my bloddlust monster who now had a speed of 5 and a melee attack of 3, killed my enemy's remaining monster winning me the battle. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/yahuzah/23xB1H6kn9hZvgpMskNVRT2g8BEEZWddP1RcxE2CyvQptFPx8aesCMVHrxEEiU6yNptyb.png) Here is my battle [link](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_bdovuZ8Djwbm53E0qCul&ref=yahuzah).
