First battle using JOLIUS BLAST

It’s the fourth week since I started to play Splinterlands game. To be honest, I am still learning about the strategies for it. The more I play, the more I can understand that winning battle is not going to be easy as my opponents are also the player who can also think like me. So, I started to feel that winning battle is getting harder for me. I would accept losing several battles easily when I do it for testing purposes, but I actually lost 7 battles even with my strategy. For a little time, I even doubted by strategy also.

I was discussing it with @bhattg and he told me to keep playing and I can improve with time. With time. I also know that, but when I see me losing so many battles with consistency, it sometimes makes me angry. Additionally, the energy point is limited, and I can’t play it endlessly. Whatever, in such a case I just take a break, and I think I should wait for those people to play who are not smarter than me 😅. I am not sure at some specific time I win most of the battles and I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or it has to do anything with time.

When it comes to battle, I rarely use my fire element. I think I know the reason why I don’t use it. It’s because I feel I don’t have so many good cards to play using fire elements even if it gives me extra speed. Few days ago, I was kind of jealous to see who received the JOLIUS BLAST as gift. I thought it would be better if I had the card as it was a powerful card. Today, when I entered the Splinterlands game, I saw I received the card. Thanks to @iblast for gifting such a powerful card. So, I started to battle with fire elements today. Let me share my first battle experience here.

Obviously, the first card was the JOLIUS BLAST without any doubt as its health is 12 and the attack power is 3 while the speed is also 3. As I am using it with BARTHALAMAS, the speed will be 4. Besides, the card has the void ability. I felt it was the best choice to keep it in the first to attack the opponent with the 3-attack power each time.

CHAOS FURYBRINGER is the card I use rarely because of its low life even if it has 2-melee attack power. But today I felt it’s suitable for the second position when I am using a powerful card in the first place. It can ensure maximize the attack because of melee attack.

In the 4th position I used NEW BELUROC AEGIS. My motive is to use it to protect JOLIUS BLAST as much as possible and allow it to survive and attack one opponent with 3 attack power. Again, it can protect the CHAOS FURYBRINGER from any attack as long as it exists and allow it to do melee attacks on opponent. I guess it was the right choice for me.

In the third position, I kept VENGEFUL MONK for attacking opponent unit with the least health, and in the 5th and 6th position I used ASH ARCHER and STURDY AXE WARDEN for ranged attacks. All of those have 2 attack powers and I think it was to ensure maximize damage to the opponent.

The opponent came with death element, and I usually lose most of the battle against death elements. This time I was confident to win the battle even if it was against it. Maybe the powerful card gave me confidence, and I got the victory in the battle. You can see the battle here.
