Hello there my Splinterlands friends,
I hope you all are doing great with battling on Splinterlands.

With retiring the Share Your Battle weekly challenge, the Battle Mage Secrets weekly challenge is live. I must say, the new challenge is much more competitive and challenging because it's about a specific ruleset and not about a card. It's fun though.
I surely will miss the old Share Your Battle challenge.

This is the 4th week of this challenge and this week's Battle Mage Secrets challenge is about the Briar Patch ruleset.

In this blog, I'll discuss about the Briar Patch ruleset and share the best battle playing in this ruleset.
So, read on...

A Few Words About The Briar Patch Ruleset

---

Briar Patch is one of the newest rulesets recently added to the daily battles. In this ruleset, every monster on either team has the 'thorns' ability.

Because of this, using the melee attack monsters can be harmful to your team.
The other options are to use magic and ranged attack monsters. Unless there's the 'close range' ruleset combined, I prefer to use a magic attack-based team because of the obvious reason that the ranged attackers can not attack from the first position.

If there's no option other than to use melee attack monster/s, try to use a monster having the 'shield' ability or with some armor.
My favorite team in this ruleset is either with the water splinter, using the Alric Stormbringer as the summoner, or with the earth splinter using the Obsidian as the summoner.

THE BATTLE

---

Now I'm sharing my strategy and the lineup for the best battle I won while the Briar Patch ruleset is active.

My Strategy and Team Setup

---

SUMMONER

Alric Stormbringer

Alric Stormbringer was the obvious choice as s summoner because I intended to use a magic attack-based team because both the rulesets are perfect for a magic attack-based team.

Team Setup

As I said above, both the rulesets are perfect for a magic attack-based team so I chose my favorite magic team from the water splinter.
Djinn Oshannus is in the first position because of its high speed and a chunk of health. Next was the River Nymph, low in health but with moderate speed.
In the third position, the Venari Wavesmith, again low in health but with moderate speed. My 2nd tank, the Nerissa Tridawn is placed in the fourth position. The Rulesr Of The Seas was placed in the fifth position and the slowest monster of the team, the Magi Of Chaos has placed in the sixth position.

Now that the team is ready, let the battle begin...

Round 02 / 03

Key Points Of This Battle

---

My opponent was high-level and chose his cards very carefully. Also, the speed of the monsters of either team was almost the same. But placing 2 tank monsters was the key point in winning the battle.
My monsters attacked the enemy monsters and eliminated them and reduced the attacks.
3 of my monsters had 4 magic powers and dealt massive damage to the enemy team.
Thanks to the 'back to basics' ruleset, the Magi Of Chaos monster can attack till last. And with this great strategy, I won the battle.

And that's all for today, guys.
