Greetings,
How was your weekend?
Is it sunny on your side of the world. If yes, your weather is more interesting than the spot where I am staying in West Africa.
The rain is not going to discourage us brave Splinter explorers of the land of Pretoria.
This event of the social media challenge is special due to the type of warrior at the center of this article.
I could not imagine the performance of Inept since the serious modifications on the difficulty levels.
The present of a healer in your selection is not a weakness but a sign of major sacrifice to hold on to the battlefield longer than it is possible as shift of power can occur at any time.

Inept will be at the center of the strategies developed in this article. If you have the potential you maxed out this card, you will not regret placing such investment in a warrior who seem less powerful than the normal cards in the game.
This first battle shows the wonderful advantage to play magic cards in the arena. It was not a problem to build a team that present archer and melee fighters.
The risk with the melee was the thorns backfire, while the only team of archer was cool unless you can make them strike from the first row.
A. Losing Key offensive abilities
The ruleset pushes the team on both side to heavily focus on magic and range warriors. Playing the magic fighters and build a defense against magic attacks should have been the best option considering the element at our disposition in this combat.
The players have all made the right choice to build an offensive force resting on magic attack. The only difference was the XIAO summoner who brought melee fighter in the arena.
It was a dangerous move considering the thorn ability given to all warriors present in the arena.

Lorkus team did well with the association of magic and tanker warrior to fight in this battle. The only problem with Lorkus team after a first analysis of his combination was the lack of countermeasure to stop the opposition.
Xiao combination in the arena was super risky. The Graybrow attacks received so much backfire from thorns that he did multiple times.
The melee strategy would only work if the player had enough negative ability to reduice the fire power of the enemy.
I found out that the presence of two silence ability on Molten and Arcane associated with magic reflect on Graybrow and Inept followed by magic void created the situation to return the event in favor of Xiao.

B. Take your chances
I would have never selected melee fighters in this combat yet you will see the performance of XIAO team in this combat where magic should have dominated the arena.
It is important in splinterlands to improvise and take the maximum of risk as long as you know what you are doing and focus enough to surprise your opponent in the arena.
C. Additional situation where you can see the outstanding performance of
** Risqruel Drath nice combination
In this battle you can easily observe a similar strategy from both time. Magic and melee warriors are dominante in the arena.
Graybrow had a fantastic performance until the archer with five points double strikes the enemy position to death.
** Immortal demon would not pass way: HELOISE
Her is a terrible performance of Heloise in the front row supported by her team with the ability to survive everything that was thrown at her position. It will be interesting to max out Heloise in my collection.

D. Will you level up Inept?
I saw in this review of combat where Inept Healer played various role the benefit of building a multi style of force.
The role of each warrior compte in the process that leads to victory. You want to build a successful team combination of strong offensive cards with specialized healing cards is the best approach to win.
I am going to gather resources to level up my current status of Healer to the max level.
