**Battle moment of the week, earth element with its little creatures can make a big difference on the battlefield.** **This is the week of Barking Spider a tiny range attack monster with 4 mana and a lot of health for a little monster.** **Many of the player usually don like this card because has one ability and a low league don eve have it, also some player thinks that the ability is not that useful.** **Blind** > All enemy Melee & Ranged attacks have an increased chance of missing their target. [Source.](https://splinterlands.com/?p=gameplay) **At low leagues I haven't seen monsters with this ability but a diamond leagues and champion leagues is very popular (other one is cleanse and is very useful at higher leagues)** **Other monster that uses blind and has low mana is fallen specter but is a legendary card and have 4 abilities but is capable t change all the game while we are battling, I think this card could help a lot with little league rule.** **Little league could help but at level 3 (I have a golden one) just have 1 of attack but gains 6 health without armor and just 3 of speed.** **My lasted battle was not about little league rule but 26 mana, Even Stevens and Target Practice rules came out, so I usually love to use golden cards and promo cards, with the summoning of Wizard of Eastwood at level 2 I selected some golden ones like Unicorn mustang at level 2, furious chicken at level 2(helps a lot every time it dies), wood nymph at level 3 (at least can heal), Goblin Thief (a back row melee attack), Barking Spider (the main character of the week) and the last one a promo card Halfling Alchemist (the Splinterlands bitcoin son).**  ## [Battle ID]( https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=18e012c1b556a6d99ef2c9b0d807aefbb86a01a0&ref=yonilkar) **The battle in some way was difficult because target practice makes gains snipe ability to all magic and range attack monsters also has a summoner at level 6 using several range attacks monsters and a chicken (I love chickens).** **First round my chicken easily dies with attack of the centaur in my turn mustang unicorn took 3 of health of clay golem them my wining illusions drops downs when a peacebringer killed my tiny wood nymph in one attack, well at least Barking Spider killed his furious chicken in one hit.** **Halfling Alchemist is a great card but this on this battle works not too well because attack enemies with low attack skills so his ability was not impressive.** **Barking spider easily becomes into the snipers' goal, all enemy cards came to hit the little tiny spider. First mantoid them goblin thief defended it against mantoid them clay golem tried to hit unicorn mustang and can not do (of course is a mustang), that is why the persecution against barking spider keeps going on herbalist, centaur and finally peacebringer killed my poor tiny spider.** **With three monsters left on the row and at least one with big health 11 unicorn mustang has a big advantage against monster even when there were not magic attack monsters, unicorn mustang easily hits clay golem (a monster with 1 of speed is easy to hit) taking 3 health almost killing it and halfling alchemist finally killed the herbalist but mantoid boon hit its armor and now is vulnerable, so clay golem tries again to hit unicorn mustang but once again misses its chance them centaur easy killed halfling alchemist in one hit at this moment unicorn mustang finally beats clay golem and destroy it, that is why mantoid attacks my unicorn them gobling thief kill it leaving just tow range attack card on the row.** **The last round was very easy because peacebringeer is unable to attack a first position and centaur has not a big range attack, that is why the victory was already there.**  https://media.tenor.com/images/386f4d12130ec813f1af4625a8d56fb6/tenor.gif **I think barking spider helps a lot because supported many attacks from all the enemies, has a big amount of health that is why was not easy to kill it by one monster.**
