## Hello Splinterlands Fans ### Time for the [SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge](https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/share-your-battle-weekly-challenge-win-upvotes-javelin-thrower). This weeks topic is ```Javelin Thrower```. [![Javelin Thrower1.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/xabi/mCva6mFd-Javelin20Thrower1.png)](https://steemmonsters.com/?p=card_details&id=173&gold=false&edition=4&tab=lore) https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaGxPb1AgP9whK3yUktqV6aRxGY3gavovoadSZwkVoX1t/kbh.gif

#### ```Javelin Thrower``` is one of my favorite card in earth splinter. Although it costs 5 mana but it is worth it as it has great speed. It has a speed of 4 right from level 1 and at level 5 it gets Dodge ability, making it extremely difficult to hit. Try complementing it with Slow and Swiftness abilities and it will serve as a great sneak(melee) attack protection for the team.

## **```MY BATTLE USING GIANT SQUID```** ####

This was a 40 mana battle with two battle rules, one Keep Your Distance and second Equalizer.

## **```MY LINEUP```** ![jevlin.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/xabi/tm8TqP8x-jevlin.png) ### **``` LYANNA NATURA```** ####

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/xabi/lHF9KcbK-Lyanna20Natura.png

I used ```LYANNA NATURA``` summoner because in my experience earth splinter can more efficiently fend against imminent magic dominated battle.

####

```BORTUS``` can also serve as a nice summoner in current battle rules, but water splinter is not allowed.

--- ### **``` LORD ARIANTHUS```** ####

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/xabi/QWmyMVkh-Lord20Arianthus201.png

Upfront came favorite tank, ```LORD ARIANTHUS```. Having abilities Shield, Void, Magic Reflect and Thorns @ just 5 mana makes ```LORD ARIANTHUS``` a force to recon with.

####

Try complementing it with healing and it will do the wonders.

--- ### **``` PRISMATIC ENERGYG```** ####

Next came another tank, ```PRISMATIC ENERGY```. Despite of the high mana cost, it can prove a nice defender against magic attacks. --- ### **```MUSHROOM SEER```** ####

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/xabi/QElPzGIZ-Mushroom20Seer.png

Next came the ```MUSHROOM SEER```. It has two awesome abilities, Silence and Poison. Silence can reduce the enemy magic attack, leaving it fangless in Keep Your Distance battle rule. --- ### **``` WOOD NYMPH```** ####

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/xabi/D94XqLHl-Wood20Nymph.png

After that comes the healer, ``` WOOD NYMPH```. In large mana battle healers are essential to support the tanks. --- ### **```JAVELIN THROWER```** ####

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/xabi/qOxidcLd-Javelin20Thrower1.png

After the healer, I placed ```JAVELIN THROWER```. It is prudent not rely entirely upon magic attack and introduce some ranged attack. --- ### **``` CORNEALUS```** ####

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/xabi/Y4jOjNCE-Cornealus.png

And in the last came another ranged tank, ``` CORNEALUS```. It has self heal ability, making it best defense against sneak attacks. ####

I wish to upgrade it have Thorns and Return Fire ability.

## **```BATTLE ANALYSIS```**

#### This was a long battle and the enemy was strong. My two well placed tanks complemented by healing from ```WOOD NYMPH``` proved quite handy and did their job of reflecting magic. The enemy made mistakes like not using a tank with Magic Reflect and relying totally upon magic attack. Also the enemy didn't used any healer.
