Hello, how are you?. In today's Battle of the Day, I want to share a heart-pounding match in Splinterlands! This time, I decided to use a Gladiator that I rarely play, and to my surprise... wow, it turned out to be just as strong as my favorite Gladiator from the Earth element.
So, this battle had some tricky rules: only 15 mana cap, with the rulesets Might Makes Right, Aimless, and Holy Protection. The available elements were limited to Earth, Water, and Fire. I had to pick monsters with at least 3 attack power to fully utilize the Might Makes Right ruleset.
After carefully selecting my cards (and thinking, "This is going to be tough"), I finally chose PALIDON RAKK. Why? Because it has high attack power for just 7 mana—perfect for this match! I also brought along HALFLING REFUGEE, a small but nimble 1-mana monster that can heal itself.
A Scary Opponent and My Strategy
My strategy was simple: take advantage of PALIDON RAKK’s Stun ability to prevent my opponent from attacking. In a low-mana battle, skipping even one turn could be game-changing.
But then, to my horror, my opponent played GRUM FLAMEBLADE! This legendary monster had Shield and massive attack power. And with TARSA as the summoner, its damage became even more terrifying. Looking at my opponent’s lineup, I started to doubt—could PALIDON RAKK survive?
A Thrilling Moment in the Arena
The battle began, and as expected, GRUM FLAMEBLADE immediately struck PALIDON RAKK, nearly taking it down! At that moment, my only hope was that Stun would activate—if not, well… game over.
And then… Stun landed! 🎉 GRUM FLAMEBLADE was unable to attack! I was beyond relieved. With my opponent frozen in place, PALIDON RAKK launched a devastating counterattack. Meanwhile, HALFLING REFUGEE stayed in the back, like a personal assistant ready to support.
The battle continued, hit after hit, and in the end, GRUM FLAMEBLADE fell! Victory was mine, all thanks to PALIDON RAKK landing that crucial Stun.

This match was a real roller coaster! Who would’ve thought that the combination of PALIDON RAKK and HALFLING REFUGEE could take down GRUM FLAMEBLADE? This was a valuable lesson—never underestimate a card that looks ordinary! It’s also a reminder that in Splinterlands, strategy and luck go hand in hand.
