Hello all #Splinterlands friends,
This is my entry for the Social Media Challenge this week 🌟
In this post, I would like to share another low-mana battle. Last time, I chose

. But I would like to try Earth Splinter this time.

The battle ruleset

15 mana cap - a low mana cap battle
Ruleset - Blood and Sunder
Splinter - Only Light and Dragon can not be used in this battle

With these rulesets, I wanted to try the Earth Splinter, which I have several strong monsters with low mana.

My team lineup

Here is my team lineup. With 15 mana, I was still able to fill up 6 monsters on the battlefield.

Summoner		Lobb Lowland - he is very expensive with 6 mana. But I still chose him because I wanted to use a Gladiator in this battle
1st position		Halfling Refugee - Of course. I chose him in 1st position. No monster is better than him with 1 mana
2nd position		Fungus Fiend - a 0 mana monster
3rd position		Uraeus - he cost 3 mana and has *Poison* skill which can give an additional damage to attacked backline monster
4th position		Cutter Brieze - it costs 1 mana but has good speed and fair ranged attack. He is the reason why I accepted 6 mana to use Lobb Lowland
5th position		Mycelic Morphoid - it also costs 1 mana. I put him in this position because I want to protect Cutter Brieze from sneak monsters
6th position		Djinn Biljka - lastly, I chose him to use up all the mana. He costs 3 mana and has 3 magic attacks with 3 skills *Camouflage* / *Weaken* / *Void*. He would be the last stand on the battlefield.

The battle

I also tried to upload the battle on YouTube to get more attention to the broader community if possible, especially the non-HIVE community.

My opponent chose Fire Splinter with level 8 Eternan Brune as summoner and the key player was Fina Voxom. Fina Voxom is a strong Gladiator. I want this firefox badly but I still couldn't get any BCX of her until now. The strategy here is quite simple. Eternan Brune reduced 2 armors from my monsters and Fina Voxom freely killed my monsters then gained the strength with Bloodlust.
In the 1st round, Fina Voxom already killed my Fungus Fiend and gained the strength. After that, my monsters were able to eliminate 3 monsters. Fina Voxom again increased the strength because of Martyr ability from Venari Marksrat
At the beginning of 2nd round, only Fina Voxom from the opponent team still stayed on the battlefield while I had 5 monsters. As the unavoidable result, I won the battle with the last shot from Djinn Biljka
