You shall not pass! (A Splinterlands Retaliate story - weekly battle challenge)

On this week challenge we have something different, instead of a monster, we got a skill, and the lottery brought us the Retaliate ability. So, I can count 15 monsters with Retaliate skills, and here it is a list of them and at what level the skill is activated: Fire - Charlok Minotaur, Exploding Dwarf, Fineas Rage, Cerberus, Serpent of the Flame Water - Naga Warrior, The Kraken Nature - Nectar Queen, Stonesplitter Orc Life - Crystal Jaguar Death - Phantasm, Undead Minotaur, Lord of Darkness Neutral - War Chaang, Hydra Now, This ability it has 50/50 chance to be triggered, even if sometime is like every time retaliating, usually not mine, but the opponent one. Useful in all kind of rulesets, especially if you get a higher health on Equalizer. https://youtu.be/XSQk5HRXI2Q So, for the challenge, this were the starting conditions: Mana Limit: 25 Rulesets: Equal Opportunity (all monsters have Opportunity) and Stampede (Trample skill activated every time the monster attacked is killed). Teams: Mine - Summoner: Scarred Llama Mage ( +2 Health bonus, Cleanse and most important Last stand for all friendly cards), Stonesplitter Orc as Tank with Retaliate, Chicken as fodder to get hit, Halfling Alchemist in case he can hit some big attack guy to half the damage and the last defender, Kron the Undying, expecially put last to get Last Stand. Opponent - Summoner: Pyre (extra speed boost), Living Lava as tank, Cyclops, Lava Elemental and Elven Mystic for damage, quite a strange choice, if you ask me. Round 1: Chicken died first followed by my opponent Lava Elemental, the Alchemist also fell to the enemy might. Round 2: Elven Mystic died, and my Orc was killed, but not before retaliating with last breath. Round 3: Kron entered in last stand and killed the remaining 2 enemies with ''one hit, one kill'' move. I've won. Star of the game? The Stonesplitter Orc, no doubt. I am getting close to the 1 million SPT tokens target with 954K until now, all of them delegated to @monster-curator to do the good deed.
