The "What Doesn't Kill You" Rules of Combat brings a unique twist to battles in Splinterlands by rewarding monsters with increased Speed and melee damage when they’re on the damaged state. While only melee monsters can gain the damage boost from Enrage ability, all monsters benefit from a Speed increase making it crucial to strategize around this advantage.

In this battle, I specifically have one strategy in mind, to boost Chimney Wallstop's stats in order for him to solo carry the game. Due to Enrage ability fixing his glaring weakness, I hope that it would work as I planned.

This rule tests your ability to balance the strength and durability of your units. Each battle will be a blend of offense, defense, and strategy to whom would be able to abuse the rules of combat most.

💪 Stats | Eternan Brune

^{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

Eternan Brune is a Rare summoner from the Chaos Legion Series.

Level 4 Rare summoners allow the use of:
Level 2 Legendary monsters;
Level 3 Epic monsters;
Level 4 Rare monsters;
Level 5 Common monsters.

He is a Rare summoner from the Chaos Legion Series. Eternan Brune is one of the unique summoners with its Conscript ability that allows you to use Gladiator monsters, monsters that can only be used in the Brawl or Guild battles normally. The reduced armor is also good as he has affinity with fire and most fire splinter units are either melee or range units. Removing the armor of their opponents gives them significant advantage that, normally, magic damage units only have.

---

💊 Abilities 💊

---

-2 Armor. [Stat Modifier] [Negative Status] All opponent monsters has their max Armor reduced by 2, with a minimum of 0. Monsters with 0 max Armor before the effect applies are unaffected.

This ability has the same effect as Rust ability. Since Summoners cannot be attacked and die, this effect is almost permanent for that battle. It's really good when combined with units that have high melee damage like Chimney Wallstop.

---

Conscript. [Support] Allow the use of one additional Gladiator this battle.

This ability allows you to use Gladiator monsters during Ranked battles. To get Gladiator monsters, you need to play in Brawl or Guild battles or change your Glint to Merits and exchange those Merits to Gladial Packs. The Guild Store has the exchange for Merits to Gladial Packs.

💪 Stats | Chimney Wallstop

^{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

Chimney Wallstop is a powerful Common gladiator monster that comes with high stats in health, armor and melee damage. With abilities like Reach and Bloodlust, this monster excels behind the front lines, specifically in the 2nd position where it can safely attack as it stacks his Bloodlust ability. Its high mana cost reflects its strength making it a choice for high mana cap battles.

---

💊 Abilities 💊

---

At level 1, Reach is unlocked. [Attack Modifer] Monsters with melee damage can attack while in 2nd position.

The Reach ability at Level 1 allows Chimney Wallstop to attack from the 2nd position allowing him to start in a relatively safe position before moving as your main tank.

---

At level 1, Bloodlust is unlocked. [Stat Modifier] [Positive Status] If this monster kills an opponent's monster, max health, max armor, attack damage, and speed increases by 1.

Bloodlust ability also available at Level 1 that allows Chimney Wallstop to grow stronger with each kill. Each kill will increase its stats and his high melee damage is very efficient in achieving that last attack to kill the enemy. This ability is especially potent in longer battles where Chimney Wallstop has the chance to snowball allowing it to become a monster as rounds go by.

---

At level 5, Repair is unlocked. [Support] At the start of this monster's turn, restore the friendly monster's armor by 2. This ability will prioritize the monster with most damage to its armor

Repair ability is unlocked at Level 5 which complements with Chimney Wallstop's Bloodlust ability. Bloodlust ability increases the unit's max stats allowing your Repair ability to restore more than 1 Armor, which is his initial armor.

---

At level 9, Strengthen is unlocked. [Stat modifier] [Positive Status] As long as this monster is alive, all friendly monsters has their max health increased by 1.

Strengthen abilit boosts the max health of all friendly monsters. This ability is a significant advantage in battles where endurance is key and is good in general. After all, the game's main objective is to reduce all of the opponent's health to 0.

What Doesn't Kill You Rules of Combat Tips: Even though only melee monsters may gain the damage from Enrage, other monsters can still gain Speed when damaged. One unconventional strategy commonly used in this rule of combat is using Djinn Oshannus as your tank. This would increase his speed by a lot which complements with his Phase ability.

🔹 ᒪIᑎEᑌᑭ 🔹

^{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

Eternan Brune: One of the most useful Conscript using summoner. The -2 Armor is very rare even for monsters as it is a strong ability especially when your team mostly have melee or range damage.

1. Xenith Monk: He is placed in the 1st position as my main tank. The Heal and Void ability will make him reliable against magic damage if they have any.
2. Chimney Wallstop: Acts as a high-damage melee attacker with Bloodlust ability and my main carry for the battle. The Enrage will increase his Speed allowing his huge damage to hit as much as possible.
3. Mana Warden: While he cannot attack, the Shield Ward ability will be good to provide Chimney Wallstop the Shield ability increasing his chance to survive as he carries everyone to victory.
4. Magi of Chaos: I wanted to add at least a mix of magic damage so an opponent with Shield ability won't straight up ruin my plan.
5. Uraeus: A low mana cost monster with both Sneak and Poison ability. He has melee damage so Enrage ability also works with him if needed.

🔸 ᗪIᗪ YOᑌᖇ ᔕTᖇᗩTEGY ᗯOᖇKEᗪ? 🔸

Yes. This battle was a gamble for me. I did this because I wanted to see if Chimney Wallstop can solo carry the game and it didn't disappoint. Chimney Wallstop was able to kill each enemy one by one once he got the speed required not to miss from Enrage ability given by What Doesn't Kill You rule of combat. While this can't happen each game, it doesn't mean it's also impossible not to happen.

🔹 ᗯᕼᗩT ᗯIᒪᒪ YOᑌ TᖇY ᗪIᖴᖴEᖇEᑎTᒪY ᑎE᙭T TIᗰE? 🔹

My Chimney Wallstop here is only level 2 but this is already what it can do. I hope I could see him on higher levels and see how strong he can really be. With the Repair ability unlocked at level 5, this battle would've been much easier for sure.

Eternan Brune and Chimney Wallstop in What Doesn't Kill You Rules of Combat

? 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒕? 🔸

Yes. Eternan Brune and Chimney Wallstop has a very strong compatibility. The reduced armor from Eternan Brune is really good since Chimney Wallstop has melee damage. If the opponent has even 1 armor, Chimney Wallstop would need to attack that monster twice to even try to kill them which means they would kill him first due to Chimney Wallstop's reliance to Bloodlust ability for sustain.
