Greetings,

How are you doing, my friends? Splinterlands social media challenge has transformed the potential of many gamers to the best ever seen fighters in the arena. In this edition, my experience on the battlefield will surpass the regular type of battle experience in lower league. Be ready to catch amazing tips and strategy for battles among warriors. Sifu is a melee warrior with enough potential to support his team against multiple types of enemies, not only from the elemental aspect but also the Bloodline associating terrible abilities.

## Rulesets

***Summon units with odd mana*** ---

***Units in the arena lose Sneak Snipe and Opportunity*** ---

***Deflection protect against punishment abilities*** --- --- Mana value: 46 ---

The rulesets are special during these combats. If you ignore the consequences of this limitation on the battlefield your team will not last very long. In this combat I presented the performance of Leolin against his opposition when the mana of specific fighters are admitted and the limitation on sneak related abilities is activated, finally all warriors get deflect as protection.

## A. Enter the arena with a winner mindset Players have understood the rule of engagement. They built their team according to the available warriors in the collection, but also making the necessary association to get less than 46 mana on the battlefield.

||| |-|-| |Lorkus|https://images.hive.blog/320x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_rebellion/Lorkus.jpg|Fighter|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_rebellion/Grimbardun%20Fighter.jpg| |Gorgon|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_v2.2/Fenmoor%20Gorgon_blk.jpg|Weaver|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_soulboundrb/Arachne%20Weaver.jpg| |Fyatt|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_v2.2/Baron%20Fyatt.jpg|Delver|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_v2.2/Deep%20Delver.jpg| |Vile|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_rebellion/Venka%20the%20Vile.jpg| --

Lorkus commanded the death and neutral team on the arena. His team had enough magic attacker to create the necessary damage on the opposite side. Healing, Poison and rapid attack from Venka were important tools among many assets on Lorkus side in this battle.

It is time to take a look at the composition of the second team in the arena. What are you going to do if your combination of warriors on the battlefield doesn't match the opponent force?

||| |-|-| |Pruitt|https://images.hive.blog/320x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_rebellion/Elias%20Max%20Pruitt.jpg|Huntswoman|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_v2.2/Anyu%20Huntswoman_blk.jpg| |Sifu|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_v2.2/Leolin%20Sifu_gold.jpg|Wolf|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_soulboundrb/Frigid%20Wolf.jpg| |Deadblast|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_rebellion/Daarg%20Deadblast.jpg|Hucker|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_v2.2/Bludgeon%20Hucker_gold.jpg| |Goff|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_rebellion/Commander%20Goff.jpg|

## B. Melee Martial art count too

Pruitt arrived in the arena with a combination of Light warriors. They held as secret weapon in this battle their speed, shield regenerating power, melee bonus attacks, Void armor against magic and resurrection. After a first look at the Light team, it is not possible to tell if the Death elements would take the first place or not. It is looking tough for both team in the arena. I went to the stats of Leolin to find the opportunity to level up this card to the max level, and I found that the warrior is super powerful when he reaches level 6.

Multiple occasions where Sifu showed martial arts talent * Enrage boosted the melee performance of Sifu team member ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWByZ4WRGQzrxdfDZLrtGSfz2LEctz2Dcr4zXkux3YYbc/image.png) In this example, Sifu great duo with Silverblade Fighter showed the power of melee against magic attacks. Of course, it is important to level up your cards to unlock special abilities that help create enought protection against the others elements. Final round ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZSm2WV5NJ5Kcft4BKZarjGSgeqCLmwbCQkPzVgpcquZP/image.png) Fighter and Sifu are still standing while all the magic warriors are nowhere to be seen. [Battle 1](https://splinterlands.com/battle/sm_wIkogpeCVJiDy7SkGxKD) * Poison does not stop Sifu I remark that the summoner Priutt is frequently present in the arena when Fighter and Sifu are present. The best way to strengthen your team is to use the elements on your favor during the battle. The monstruous shield of Sifu reached 12 points on top of the five points melee attack were used to double strikes the oppositions. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRQiyhUyKKiYyLJgz6GQUcjUtFGQKNKpooSu5gL5XNHaU/image.png) Last round ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWjnm2h915kxqXrhCFYbbPnEgT9fkKLp15LXZ5mukyix3/image.png) Poison affected the life reserve of the warriors to the point almost all warriors were dead. Luckly Immunity equipped warrior was on the side of Priutt, so his team won the combat. [Battle 2](https://splinterlands.com/battle/sl_f1e4820ff9b33c79a92a195e6f5b05f1) Sifu has so much to add to your strategy especially if you find the SilverBlade Fighter at the maxed level to place in front line of your team. https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Leolin%20Sifu.jpg

## D. Level up your cards I just found that I had a level one Sifu card in my collection. I did not know that I got already one item in this journey to level 6. The only way to reach the top is to find 45 cards to combine.
