Hello Splintermates, Praetorians and Hiveans,

It is time to share again a Splinterlands Social Media Challenge where i am going to share my favoite team to go in frontier. This frontier format still not a month upon release so learning to those who keeps winning against you is the key. It is said that my first win in frontier comes from winning by default after a 3 losing streak. Not only that i got a very low winrate specially for the first 25 battles although learning to my opponenent improves my winrate slowly.

THE BATTLE

This battle is against a strong opponent that uses thalgrimore as its archon with a team almost similar to my favorite set up.

Battle link:

MY FAVORITE FRONTIER TEAM

ARCHON	UNIT 1	UNIT 2	UNIT 3	UNIT 4	UNIT 5	UNIT 6
Thalgrimore	Nim Guard Captain	Great Bear Druid	Little Sister	Sorrow Harvester	Vengeful Monk	Kanaaq Miner

1. THALGRIMORE - thalgrimore is a 6 mana rare death foundation card archon. This death archon provide -1 health to all enemy units. So far this is my favorite archon to use except thos where some elements dominates in some ruleset like weak magic and poison ruleset. Thalgrimore is good in reverse speed and equalizer

2. NIM GUARD CAPTAIN - - Nim guard captain is a 7 mana common death foundation card. At level 1 it has 1 melee attack, 3 armor, 5 health and 3 speed . It also has a void ability (50% less damage rounded up ) from magic attacks or 0 attacks from magic attacks of 1 power). This is my favorite tanks as magic still dominates and countering them is quite effective. This is very good in rulsets where non melee are allowed like magic but not good where ranged monster dominates although having 3 armor makes him still the best option for tank.

3. GREAT BEAR DRUID - great bear druid is a 9 mana neutral legendary foundation card. It is a dual magic and melee monster. At maxed level it has 1 melee and 1 magic attack, 6 health and 2 speed. So far it has no abilities provided. Great bear druid is so far my most used legendary due to its dual attack and being neutral althoug its being 9 mana has quite difficulty to to fit in low mana battle. I often used it in second position.

4. LITTLE SISTER - is a 6 mana legendary death foundation card.At level 1 it has 1 magic attack, 3 health and 2 speed. It also has life leech ability (increases health and max health by 50% of damage health (rounded up)) . It's life leech paired with its magic attack makes her very good where non melee ruleset dominate although her 1 magic attack is very easily counter with void so i don't used it often.

5. SORROW HARVESTER - sorrow harvester is an 7 mana epic death foundation card. At level 1 it has 2 magic attack with 3 health and 1 speed. It also has weaken ability (-1 max health to enemy unit). This is my most used magic monster as still quite difficult to counter even with void as still cause damage and paired with thalgrimore it remove 2 health to all enemy units that gives it to quickly illuminate opponent.

6. VENGEFUL MONK - is a 7 mana neutral rare foundation card. At level 1 it has 2 melee attack and 4 health and 2 speed. It also has opportunity ability (targets the enemy unit with less health) So far this is my most used opportunity monster. Paired with thalgrimore and sorrow harvester removing 2 maxed health to an opponent, vengeful monk is going for a kill in 1 move specially if the opponent has no armor or in no armor ruleset.

7. KANAAQ MINER - is a 5 mana neutral common foundation card . At level 1 it has 1 melee attack, 2 health and 2 speed. It has also sneak ability ( targets the enemy unit in last position ). Kanaaq miner is an alternative option for me incase vengeful monk is not available or a 7 mana does not fit. Although it has only 1 melee attack it is still good to pair with thalgrimore and sorrow harvester as it removes maxed 2 health to all enemy unit so still can go for a kill with opponent with 3 or less health.

MY STRATEGY AND POSITIONING

ARCHON	UNIT 1	UNIT 2	UNIT 3	UNIT 4	UNIT 5	UNIT 6
Thalgrimore	Nim Guard Captain	Great Bear Druid	Little Sister	Sorrow Harvester	Vengeful Monk	Kanaaq Miner

My strategy and positioning in this 48 mana battle with maneuvers and aim true ruleset is to use thalgrimore as my archon. My tank is nim guard captain due to its high health, armor and void ability to counter against magic opponent and i use great bear druid as second tank due to its dual melee and magic attack and to take advantage of meneuver rulset that allows him to use melee in second position. My third position is little sister and my fourth position is sorrow harvester which is a good pair for thalgrimore due to its ability of minus 1 health to all enemy unit and 2 magic attack that when counter it still gives damage to opponent . My 5th position is vengeful monk which is a very good combination with thalgrimore and sorrow harvester removing a maxed health to all enemy unit and with its opportunity ability it is going for a kill in one move. My last position is kanaaq miner that serves like vengeful monk but it attacks the last position enemy unit.
