How to Win a Sneak Attack

Not knowing your opponent

With one on the most recent change in the @splinterlands game rules we no longer see the user name of our opponents but we do see there most recent lineups, this new rule never bothered me in the past but i understand the reason for it. The team want to discourage the farming behaviour known as win trading, a form of collision between team of player or bot army’s.

In this case it turned out to be a positive for me, (not knowing my opponent) that is, what I mean is that when you move up the ranks in a particular league, in my case the Bronze League the matching engine will pair you up with other high level player and if you know who they are it can give a bit of anxiety if you remember them from previous battles, and this can make you second guess your team selection.

Alway’s Pick Your Best Ever Team

So I always go into a new battle with thought process of picking my best team for the ruleset, mana count and what I see from the opponent recent matches. Only after the battle plays out do you see who you matched up against.

With most of the splinters available, this make predicting your opponents selection more difficult, as it was commons and cares only I wanted to Legendary summoner to try and again an edge.

My opponent strategy was obvious and usually hight effective, Full Powered Sneak Attack. To add to this an Inspire monster add +1 melee to all sneakers, It might be luck of just good planning but by Flesh Golem at the back stacked up every hit and was healing +4 health every round thanks to the Summoner boast of plus 2 health to all team members

This allowed my Venari Knifer and Mushroom Seer to reduce his front line monsters just enough so that Last stand activated on the Flesh Golem and at that point it’s game over. But for me the +36 ranking points is the most valuable reward that came out from this battle
