Hello everyone!

Here I am again sharing one of my epic batte in #steemmonsters/splinterlands, this time the my monsters with thorn ability saved the day, yes what you read is right "monsters" because in this epic battle I used two monsters with thorn ability to do both offense and defense.


Check the video of my battle below 👇👇👇

#### Strategy "prediction and right positioning"
### Prediction:

If you watch my video you can see that I used my monsters with thorn ability to protect the back and the front of my deck because I predicted that my enemy will be using melee attack monsters because I checked the monsters he used on his lasts battles and I saw in his previous battles that he is using life spinter with melee attack monsters. And I'm glad that my prediction is right and I place my monsters on their right positions.

### Right Positioning:

##### Level 5 Spineback Wolf
 I usually use monsters  with healing ability as my tank but the rule in this match is cancel healing and because of that rule healing ability in this match is disabled. Therefore in this epic battle I decided to place the spineback turtle on the front to be the tank this monster is very useful because of his very fast speed/agility this monster has a big chance to evade melee and range attacks. And also this monster is good on attacking and defending because of his ability called "Thorns" so when this monster hit by a melee attack monsters, the attacker also take 2points of backdamage, so this monster is really a pain in the ass of any melee type monsters Lol.
> I usually place my spineback wolf on the second position because this monster also has a ability called "reach" and this ability grants him to attack on the second position. And also the spineback wolf will only obtain his thorn ability when he reached level 5.

#### Level 5 Enchanted Defender
I place this card on the back to protect my deck against mosters with ability called "sneak", monsters with sneak ability are alway attacking the last enemy monster and most of the monsters with sneak ability is melee type, that's why I place my level 5 enchanted defender on the last position, yes he can't attack on that position but his shield and thorn ability is enough to counter my enemy's mosters with sneak ability.
> the weakness of enchanted defender is the monsters with magic attacks so it's not really a good descision to place this monster on the front position, and also enchanted defender abtain thorn ability whe he reached Level 5.

I'm glad that my "Thorn" strategy works, but I think not all the time because there are different kinds of rules in every match, so it is important to check your enemy's previous battles and if you're quite sure that your enemy is going to use melee type monsters don't hesitate to use monsters with thorn ability because they can attack and defend at the same time.
