5 Important Abilities when playing Noxious Fume

5 Important Abilities when playing Noxious Fume
Hello Splinterlands players and lovers across the world? Happy new months to everyone of you.
I will share my Splinterlands video in this article; I am very happy because it is my first 3speak video.
I will be talking about the Noxious fume ruleset on this post today.
Noxious fume ruleset is one of the rules of Splinterlands game. At the end of each round, 2 health is damaged from all monsters in the battle except monsters with immunity.
This ability is very special to this rule because a monster with such ability can not be affected by Noxious fumes.
You just have to be strategic while playing noxious fume rule.
There was a day I was paired with a player, I thought battle was all about stronger monsters and summoners. I chose my strongest cards without considering a noxious fume rule.
With his level one monsters and a summoner, he defeated me. I watched the battle again and again! I realized that it is not all about how strong your cards are. A player needs to strategize with his/her cards.
Don't get me wrong, the higher your level of cards, the better you become in battles.

Let talk about important abilities when playing noxious fume
Immunity: immunity is one of the important abilities when battling Noxious fumes. Monsters with immunity ability can not be poisoned, the health of such monsters will not be damaged by Noxious fumes.
Monsters with immunity are immune to negative effects such as affliction, poison, halving, and other negative effects.
Therefore, monsters with immunity are the best monsters for this battle.
The problem is that there were moments when immunity monsters were not given when noxious fumes were given. The only thing I did at the moment when immunity monsters were not given was to change my strategy by using monsters that can last longer in such battles.

Cleanse ability: monsters with immunity are very rare in splinterlands. I don't have more than 3 monsters with immunity which made me prefer other monsters than monsters with immunity.
Cleanse ability monsters are used most of the time by me. I love the combination of kelp Initiate and other monsters such as The kraken, Djinn Oshannus, Sea monster. When the mana is very small such as 25 or below that can accommodate Sea monster and kelp Initiate, I used both together because I believe that kelp Initiate will clean all the impurities in the sea monster including noxious fumes. Hence, noxious fumes will not have any negative effects when the cleanse and other abilities are activated.
I love to use kelp Initiate because it gives me the opportunity to use whatever monster I want to use in the first position.

Monster with Healing ability: this is my best monster to use. Even though I am giving more than 40 mana, I love to use this monster when Noxious fumes are given. A clear example was the day I was paired up with players. I could not remember the amount of mana that was given to me in those battles but I knew some of the mana were more than 40. In this kind of situation when higher mana is given, I don't like to use healing monsters in the first position, I used them in the fourth and fifth position. When monsters in the first to the third positions were eliminated, healing monsters were left in the battle 🐲.
But when the mana is less than 24, I used 2 healing monsters- sea monster and water Elemental. Then added kelp Initiate with it.
Note: there were noxious fumes battles I fought where healed out was among the rules, in this case I used magic monsters with kelp Initiate. This was because healing ability was deactivated from the battle; hence, healing ability can't work when healed out is among the rules.

Monsters with Martyr: I am always happy to use monsters with martyr ability. The moment the monster is dead, the stats of adjacent monsters increase. You can watch this battle and understand better why I love to use monsters with martyr ability.

Monsters with Magic abilities: One thing that makes me like magic monsters in noxious fumes is the direct attack of the health of monsters. Since noxious fumes only damage the health of monsters, using magic monsters will hasten the eliminated of monsters.

Monsters Arrangements

Furious Chicken
Splinter: Neutral
Level: 3⭐⭐
Ability: martyr
Speed: 1
Health: 2
Attack: Range
Mana: 0
Furious Chicken was not used to attack, I needed this monster to delay opponent monsters. I knew in this kind of battle, Furious Chicken is useless when placing it in the last position because it will surely be destroyed by poison. Placing Furious Chicken in the first position was to take the first attack.
14 mana was too small to select the best monsters for this battle, I wanted to use Uriel the Purifier; I did not use Uriel the Purifier again because I would not be able to use a martyr monster Halfling Alchemist which was part of my plan.
That was how I switched to Earth splinter because it have me the opportunity to use Fungus Funger and Halfling Alchemist.

Fungus Fiend
Splinter: Earth 🌍
Level: 1⭐
Ability: martyr
Speed: 1
Health: 3
Attack: Melee
Mana: 0
Another zero mana monster to delay opponent monsters from attacking my best monster.
I knew most players would use the same strategy that my opponent used.
Then, that was the reason I came up with a plan to emerge victorious.

Flesh Golem
Splinter: Earth 🌍
Level: 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ability: Healing
Speed: 3
Health: 10
Attack: Melee
Mana: 3
The healing ability was the reason I selected Flesh Golem; I knew the monster would lead my lineup and I placed it in 3rd position so that Furious Chicken and Fungus Fiend could be eliminated.
After both monsters were killed, Flesh Golem led the battle to victory.

Fungus Funger
Splinter: Earth 🌍
Level: 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ability: martyr and Blind
Speed: 1
Health: 5
Attack: Range
Mana: 3
Fungus Funger was used to increase the stats of Flesh Golem. You could see that when Fungus Funger died, Flesh Golem melee was increased by +1. That was exactly what I wanted in this monster; after the stats of Flesh Golem increased, it made it to be more stronger than opponent Uriel the Purifier.

Halfling Alchemist
Splinter: Neutral
Level: 2⭐⭐
Ability: Halving
Speed: 2
Health: 1
Armor: 1
Attack: Range
Mana: 2
The moment I saw scattershot, I knew this monster could attack any monster in the opponent's lineup. If not Halfling Alchemist, it wouldn't have been easy for me to win this battle. Only one attack from Uriel the Purifier would have destroyed Flesh Golem.
Halfling Alchemist broke the melee of Uriel the Purifier, which was the reason its attacks were not strong.

Round 1
Halfling Alchemist was the first monster to attack; and it attacked Uriel the Purifier, breaking its melee.
Without scattershot, it was the monster in the first position that Halfling Alchemist should attack. The scattershot rule made Halfling Alchemist attack Uriel the Purifier, which was the last monster in the opponent 's lineup. Fungus Funger attacked and eliminated soul fiend.

Round 2
The Furious Chicken of my opponent and Halfling Alchemist were eliminated by poison. Uriel the Purifier killed Fungus Fiend; Flesh Golem missed the first attack as he led the lineup.
In round 4 when Fungus Funger was eliminated, Flesh Golem's speed increased to 4 that made him attack faster than Uriel the Purifier.
In round 8 which was the final round, Flesh Golem killed Uriel the Purifier.

In conclusion, how suitable it is to have a summoner with immunity in the Splinterlands so that when such a rule is given, one can use such a summoner.
