Social Media Challenge - Gallicus / Notorious Temerity

Peace,

Greetings,

How are you doing, my dear Splinterlands fan and professional of the combat in the arena?

The game has never been so fun. Season resumed with so many opportunities to move up in the ranking list, whether it is in the
modern or wild league. I have made a significant move to reach the highest position in the Diamond league in less than five days. I also find interesting battles as I was moving up in the leaderboard.

Archer only battles are always a difficult combat for my selection at the high level of competition.

Here is a special game I chose to present in this social media challenge as a learning step to succeed in future similar condition of battle.

Gallicus has stats performance in the arena that push my curiosity into analyzing the role played in the arena.

Rulesets

All melee units are Range

All units have close range

Zero armor and no additional gain of shield protection

Mana value: 30

A-\ - Temperature Discovery on Battlefield

Archers are present on the battle and ready to give all their skills to win the combat. Close range in the battle ruleset gave the warriors exceptional aptitude to strike from the from line. I was confident that Gallicus team had a chance to really cause damage to the opposition. Headwind from Gallicus line reduce significantly the offensive performance of the enemy.

Reflection Shield ability surprises

I have rarely seen Ilthain summoner on the battlefield. Its presence was perfect considering the range strikes flying on both side of the board.
This return fire ability gives more damage to the unit who had less reduction of the range attack. In order words the Headwind strategic avantage for the Gallicus team completely was revert with the return fire on the battlefield.

Delya team had a luck that I have never seen since I am playing Splinterlands. On top of the large damage cause to the enemy strike backfiring at their position they have reflection shield to protect the friendly area.

Delya destruction reached the summum

It was a terrrible scene to witness. Delya in the front line has her stat boosted after Martyr was triggered on the second round. Her position was protected with reflection shield also dodge, then her double strikes ability gave her serious offensive capacity.

Potential archer team from which we can build a stronger selection

B-\ - Luceheim Demon Outstanding Defense

Triage ability played a vital role to support the defense of Gallicus team. Taunt ability has caused all the enemy action to reduce the health point of Gallicus, but he was standing strong due to the refill of life point from Luceheim triage. After the rise to first row, Delya took out Gallicus and Demon stepped up to hold the rest of the unit.

Bolter in the front played his role and I would have put Marksrat in front him to benefit from the magic additional attack boosted following the martyr activation.

Battle link of this match

Gallicus offered an inspiring performance in the arena, what did you think?

It was easy to play the role of a tanker with taunt in such intensive combat where Gallicus limited life point could be exploited by the enemy.

A serious advantage of the Gallicus card in his lineup is the low number of Mana point needed to bring taunt ability in the arena.

C-\ Resurrection

Commander Goff has exceptional abilities, among which the resurrection ability empowered Delya with a double martyr activations in the first round.

It was a very interesting combination between Delya Marksrat and Goff in the winning team.

I was surprise to see Gallicus team holding his position for more than six rounds.

Do you think that the presence of headwind ability and lack of reflection shield on the Gallicus side cause his team to lose the battle?

If you have the opportunity to improve the lineup on Gallicus side, what warriors will you propose?
