😊Hey There!
Welcome to yet another splinter-week. We have been assigned the theme monster 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹 of the Neutral Element for this week's challenge. There's a lot more to this bearded 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹 Card than meets the eye, and I'll explain why. But before that, if you want to take part in Splinterlands' weekly battle, simply go to 👉SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! SUPPLY RUNNER

THEME CARD INFORMATION:🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹
EDITION	CHAOS
RARITY	COMMON
ELEMENT	NEUTRAL
LEVEL	1
MANA COST	6 POINT
ATTACK	RANGED
ABILITIES	SWIFTNESS AT LEVEL 5

The 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹 is a 6-point mana cost, common baddass type card from the Neutral Unit. It is an interesting monster card and when in a battle, it's opponent dares not call him Mad or you'll get his fierce axed-rage⛏.

I am using a level 1 and this monster has a 2-range attack, 3-speed, and 4-health at this level. The high range attack with decent health and speed will be adequate to kill certain enemies even at it's lowest level⛏.

This bearded monster gains extra 2-ranged attacks, 4-speed and 5-health at level 5, as well as the SWIFT ability. All friendly monsters' speed get's an increased by +1 boost in battle because the SWIFT ability.

The 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹 is a ranged attack monster and this obviously tells us that it doesn't have a huge tank, it's SWIFT ability suffice for that inadequacy.

From the Stat above, This monster has 3-ranged attacks, 5-speed and 5-health at level 8, as well as the SWIFT ability. As discovered, the improved stat will help the beard man fight in higher leagues, and the 3-range attack is pretty effective.

It has 3-ranged strikes, 5-speed and 5-health at level 10, and another added ability is STRENGHTENED. Which means it will grant extra health to all friendly monsters due to this ability.

Hence to thoroughly make good use of the 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹, you'll need to level it up to 10. A monster with the perfect distraction for you to take full control of the battle and win 98% the chance in proper lineup⚔️.

⚔️ THE BATTLE 1 ⚔️

RULE SET
STANDARD	NO MODIFICATION TO THE STANDARD GAMEPLAY RULES AND MECHANICS
MANA CAPACITY	29
AVAILABLE ELEMENT	ALL

This was a decent 29 mana cap battle, I used the Legendary SCARRED LLAMA MAGE as my summoner who gives all my monsters +2 health, Last stand ability and debuffs cleansing at start of battle. It was a standard game having no changes to the ruleset and every type of splinter was allowed in the battle.

⚔️ TEAM LINE-UP 1 ⚔️

BUFF	SUMMONER	ELEMENT
+2 health, Last-stand and debuffs cleansing

STRATEGY:

I enjoy battles with the Earth Element and win atleast 70% the time which is decent. I had a lot of fun using this fantastic summoner, SCARRED LLAMA MAGE , a majestic monster with an intriguing lore, and what makes it great is its ability. For this battle with a ranged attack monster, I needed it's abilities for an upper hand against my enemy at the start of the battle.

POSITION	CARD	ABILITY
First-line		Thorns

STRATEGY:

The VENARI KNIFER up in front, a 6 mana cost unit employed solely for maximum damage back at the attacker. This card I love alot and use regularly. It can take a decent number of blows if you're lucky, and I employed it here only for that purpose, as an attacking unit.

POSITION	CARD	ABILITY
second-line		Flying

STRATEGY:

For it's Flying ability, I placed REGAL PERYTON in second. A true mage and the advantage of this monster is its high speed with flying ability. This will help in avoid enemy melee and range attacks, as well as its decent health of 6 and magic attack, this will endure longer in battle and easily destroy it's enemies.

POSITION	CARD	ABILITY
third-line		N/A

STRATEGY:

Then comes the themed card 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹 up in third position for it's 3-speed point and Even though it can't attack from the tank spot in most cases, I've put it to take a few hits with it's 5 health if possible while causing some damage and and finish off the enemy from this spot before they get the chance attack him.

POSITION	CARD	ABILITY
fourth-line		Protect

STRATEGY:

In fourth is the deadly QUEEN MYCELIA, a 4 mana cost PROTECT! ability. In battle, her evil role has a variety of effects, she weakens the enemy from the inside out and protects all of her fellow monsters, while removing protection from enemy monsters. I have always been fascinated with this card and happy I employed her here.

POSITION	CARD	ABILITY
Fifth-line		Thorns

STRATEGY:

Next came ⚔️MYCELIC MORPHOID⚔️. Despite the fact that it has no abilities at level 1 & 2, cause that's what I had. it still is a helpful card. I felt connected to the card and didn't want it to die too soon in battle😁.

POSITION	CARD	ABILITY
sixth-line		Shield

STRATEGY:

Finally came FUNGUS FIEND, another zero-cost unit employed solely as a sacrifice unit. A very useful card in low mana battles to fill up spot and consume one or multiple attacks from the enemy, giving more time to my monsters to heal and attack. FUNGUS FIEND is a melee attacker and a legendary card that provides an additional defense for no mana cost.

As you can see from my lineup, I attempted to provide a balance and focused more on weakening my enemy's monsters. Without further ado, let us now enter the battleground.

⚔️ROUND 1⚔️

• Enemy used the Life element with GENERAL SLOAN as Summoner. CHAOS KNIGHT in first position, XENITH ARCHER in second, SCAVO HIRELING in third, STITCH LEECH in fourth, PELACOR ARBALEST in fifth and PORTAL SPINNER in last position. My Enemy came for a Life-war, and quiet frankly I was abit startled😆

• Round 1 started with SCARRED LLAMA MAGE giving a my monsters a boost +2 health and last stand ability as expected. Also cleansed VENARI KNIFER at start of round.

• REGAL PERYTON 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹 and VENARI KNIFER take turns and strike enemy's front line CHAOS KNIGHT affecting her health and shield -2

• Enemy retaliates and VENARI KNIFER as expected, that's why she's there, Tank can endure the attack.

⚔️ROUND 2⚔️

• Round 2 begins with a multiple attacks from enemy, but most was near misses..

• VENARI KNIFER got killed by PELACOR ARBALEST
• 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹 in a favourable position keeps striking and weakens CHAOS KNIGHT shield.
• Round 2 ends with a retaliation and enemies front line monster CHAOS KNIGHT killed by QUEEN MYCELIA.

⚔️ROUND 3⚔️

• Round 3 begins begins with an interesting attack from REGAL PERYTON who is now in front line and debuffed at start of round, giving room for 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹 to strike and kills XENITH ARCHER easy⛏

• Double strike attack on REGAL PERYTON by the enemy, but Misses.

• Then the Queen of evil strikes, Round 3 ends with a brilliant poison from QUEEN MYCELIA killing SCAVO HIRELING

⚔️ROUND 4-6⚔️

• In round 4, 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹 was really causing damage and remained totally untouched by enemy, though PORTAL SPINNER responds with a strike at him and removes it's shield. Raged for that attack, 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹launches a single strike killing STITCH LEECH.

• Round 5, REGAL PERYTON also on a damage spree, strikes and kills PELACOR ARBALEST.

• Round 6, 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹 now facing his earlier attacker, get furious again and gives the finishing blow bringing victory to his team of monsters by easily killing PORTAL SPINNER

⚔️FINAL RESULT⚔️

• With the glorious sacrifice of the lead Monster VENARI KNIFER, 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹 doesn't let that sacrifice a waste. The Battle ends in FLAWLESS VICTORY!!!

DO I LIKE THIS DRAGON MONSTER AND WHAT I WOULD'VE DONE DIFFERENTLY?

I think I do like this bearded monster 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹, even without ability, when placed in favourable position such as this it is able to cause great damage. To be fair, I definitely look forward to experiencing it's other abilities at higher levels. It has pretty awesome speed, that's already a slam dunk. This only demonstrates that if you play the Earth or any of the splinters, then this is a card to have as a neutral unit.
The battle was exciting to watch and I will keep seeking more ways to own, engage and level up the 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹.

DID MY STRATEGIES WORK?

Yes, my strategy worked very well. It was a good lineup and strategy for both low-mana battle⚔️

🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹 is no doubt a decent card, and this battle challenge has surely exposed it's usefulness in battle due to it's ability which increases the stats of every friendly monster with more speed and health.

😊That will be all about my weekly battle with 🏹SUPPLY RUNNER🏹 as the themed card.
