Splinterlands weekly challenge : Silvershield Assassin
This week's Splinterlands battle challenge theme is Silvershield Assassin.
Today I had the life splinter for my daily quest and came across a fun ruleset that I knew was perfect to use my silvershield assassins. I played against @silentcharge and you can check out the battle here

Rules were Silenced Summoners and Lost Legendaries
With a 99 mana cap
Close Range: Means that ranged attacks may be used in the first position in battles.
Reverse Speed: Means monsters with the lowest speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks.
Summoner Selection:
Tyrus is my favorite life summoner currently as I don't have a peakrider. I like Tyrus because he adds armor to all of my monsters. I normally only pick Mother Khala if I have the no armor rule.

Monster Selection
1rst Position: I choose my favorite life tank the Chain Golem. I love using the chain golem because it has both shield and void as well as having 4 armor. The shield reduces the amount of damage every melee monster and ranged monster does and the void does the same thing for all magic monsters. This is great for a tank because he reduces all damage dealt to it.

2nd position: I used my Luminous Eagle for this position because it has reach and the highest attack with reach of all the available cards. I will be taking the plunge shortly and buying 1 more to upgrade mmy luminous Eagle to level 4 so I get the armor.

3rd position:
I choose Silversield Assassin for my 3th position because she has sneak, double strike, and armor. The sneak and double strike with 2 melee is really nice because it annihilates most emenies from the back with 4 damage per turn. The armor is a bonus because being the only other monster on my team with armor she can be armor healed by the armorsmith some turns. I utilized the assassin in this position because it can be a backup tank to protect my healer in the middle if things get bad in front.

4th Position:
I put Divine Healer in this position to protect it from attacks from my opponent. I also chose the Divine Healer for it's tank healing cababilities and magic attack.

5th Position:
.I choose the lone boatman for this position because he has snipe and the repair ability. The repair is very useful as he fixes my monsters armor. I like him over the armorsmith because he has snipe and can attack from the back whereas armorsmith can only attack from the back if I have the melee mayhem.

6th Position
I picked Cave Slug to go last because I like the 3 attack with opportunity that picks the monster that is weakest to attack first. The 5 health makes a decent, not amazing but decent rear tank.

Conclusion:
My strategy worked very well for this battle, my cave slug took out my opponents armorsmith first removing my opponents ability to repair their tanks shield.
In the second round my cave slugs took out my opponents elven cutthroat so I no longer had to worry about my rear line being attacked and as you can see the lone boatman are taking out the peacebringer slowly.
By end of round 4 all of my monsters are still alive and my opponent was vanquished.
I don't think I will try anything different next time this seemed to be a very effective team!
