Hey Splinterlanders!
I've been playing SM for more than a year though I haven't posted much, and now the current weekly challenges from @splinterlands tempted me to write. So I am here with this week's challenge which is Rexxie.

I like Rexxie because of its Trample Ability and its a good choice when the ruleset is Melee can attack from any position or Melee has the sneak ability. However, I won this battle on my alt account (@iamlazy), with Target Practice and Close Range rules. Below is the Screenshot of my positioning and you can also find a link to the battle.
What was my Lineup?
It was a 29 mana battle and I'll explain my lineup below writing about every summoner used in battle one by one.
So, let's move forward.
First of all, is the summoner, I like the Lyanna Natura Earth Summoner because it gives +1 Health to all the friendly monsters, so I went with this summoner. I have level 5 of it.
After Summoner, my first monster was Rexxie itself, I used it as a tank because of its Trample ability and honestly, I love the Trample ability a lot. Also, it has a 5 melee attack so it gives big damage to the opponent's tank. In my this battle it performed very well, firstly I was thinking I will lose this battle but then Trample ability came into work and it showed its power and Boom, I won.
In the second place, I used level 1 Furious Chicken without any attacks. Well, chicken is a must for me and always have a space for it if mana is lower than 20. In this battle, I used chicken to waste my opponents' snipe attacks.
The third position was covered with level 1 untamed monster Kron the Undying. This is an amazing magic attack monster that comes with heal ability and it has a big 10 health too. So I placed it right after chicken so that it will keep healing itself from my opponents' snipe attacks.
Next, I used the beautiful lady Wood Nymph level 6, along with tank heal it also gains strengthen ability at that level. So it is a +1 again which can cover up even if the opponent comes with weaken ability. At the same time, it keeps healing the tank too.
The fifth position I filled up with Goblin Sorcerer level 5, again it's a magic attacker but it comes with the sneak ability so if the opponent is attacking from the last position it can damage that last position monster.
Lastly, I used the Epic Swamp Thing monster with weaken ability which can reduce our opponent's health. I used it as the last position because I thought it has 4 health and even if it gets killed by the opponent's sneak attacks it won't affect me much.
Did your strategy work?
Well yes, for which purpose I used Rexxie it worked very well and made me win this battle amazingly. As I wrote above its Trample ability was the one who made me win this battle.
Do you use REXXIE often?
I don't use Rexxie often as it doesn't favor all kinds of rulesets. This monster can do better in Melee only or Melee has sneak ability rulesets.
