Splinterlands Battle Share with Dragons....I got lucky

Last weekend I was too busy to do this but glad to be back to share a battle. This week it is time for the Dragons. These cards are always fun to play with but I do have to head off to rent them. That isn't so bad because I get them for a few days and they are strong and I got a good shot at earning more than I spend. Make sure you check out the Challenge here if you want to take part in this. You only have a few more days to get into it. In this battle, I was not at an advantage but you can still win. I always like to break down the card they ask us to use but this week we got to pick from any of the Dragons. I ended up only really using one monster. Yet the Void dragon was the reason I won the match. The basic things that the level 1 Void Dragon is good at are dodging and taking away the power of any 1 magic card. Now the weak part is that he is also a 1 magic card. It is a bit of a bummer that doesn't change till level 4. I am not sure how good he is in silver and gold before that happens but it worked well for me this time. I still have to get my summoners higher levels before I start to try him out at level 2 when gets another health. The Line Up We both used the Drake of Arnak as our summoners. That makes sense in a blast game. It was also the close range that I overlooked a little. My idea for my team really was just speed. In a blast game, I want to attack fast. That is why I put the Venari Knifer up front with that 5 base speed I hoped he could dodge and if not thorns are helpful. But I knew that his 3 attacks should do 2 blast damage at least a few times. After that the Void Dragon who is also fast but I figured if they went magic at least the blast damage might not hurt. Then Beatrix next because it was the fastest 2 damage, archer. Follow up with a Regal Peryton who is also fast and flying and then last spot toss in that Mycelic Morphoid for thorns to counter sneak a bit. Then give them all armor. Now on the other side, they almost did the same thing. The Unicorn looked to be a very good counter to my weak mages. Then the Failed summoner bounced back some magic. Two out of his 4 back row attackers are also fast. I could not tell if I could pull this off or not. It didn't look that well for me. You can watch the full replay here Round 1 For a blast game, this is a funny first round. My Void Dragon and Regal Peryton can't hurt the Unicorn and well his mages can't hurt my Dragon. This battle was going to come down to the Tanks and the Archers. First attacks go to the Regal Perytons. I do one damage to the Failed Summoner and take one damage but then he deals one to my Knifer but nothing to the Void Dragon. Next is my Void dragon he also only hurts the Failed summoner but blocks the return. Then the Child of the Forest takes his shot but he misses. That was a big miss as he would do damage to 3 guys. My Knifer hits his attack and removes armor from both the Unicorn and the Failed summoner. Next my Beatrix hits the Unicorn for 2 and brings the failed summoner down to 1. The Unicorn strikes back and takes my armor but gets hit by that two damage to bring him down to 6. The last attack by the Princes and Xenith archer hit and bring me down to 3 and 6 life and we move into that second round with everyone alive. Round 2 This round is where things get pretty wild. My Peryton attacks first and is able to finish off the Failed Summoner. I have the first kill. He strikes back and brings my Knifer down to 2. My Void dragon attacks and does one damage now to their Peryton. Next, the Child shoots and this time it hits my Void Dragon. The splash damage brings my Knifer down to 1 takes away my armor on Beatrix. Glad the Knifer still had that 1 HP as he gets in a hit on the Unicorn for 3 bringing him down to 3 and taking that armor away from the Peryton. I follow that up with an attack from Beatrix that brings the Unicorn down to 1 and the Peryton down to 4. After that, the Unicorn Kills my Knifer but dies to the return damage. The splash hits my Void Dragon down to 3. Next goes the Princess but she can't hurt the Void dragon but does hit Beatrix for 1. Then the Xenith archer attacks but I get another miss. We head into round 3. Round 3 I like this setup a little more with my Void Dragon tanking with only one card targetting it that can even hurt it and that archer is slow. But that child has splash so that could be trouble. The round will start with my Peryton hitting their Peryton for 1 and the Princess for 1. Then his Peryton attacks but only does 1 to the Beatrix. Void Dragon goes next and hits the Peryton down to 2 and kills off the princess. Nice, we got it before it got to attack. The Child hits my Beatrix and the splash removes my Peryton armor and hits the Void dragon down to 2. My Beatrix misses and I am worried but the Xenith Archer also misses and we go into round 4. Round 4 Okay so now that speed matters a lot. The Perytons will go first and that will put his at one hp and my Beatrix at 1 hp. But my Void Dragon attacks next and is able to kill off his Peryton and the Child before it can attack. The Xenith moves up front and my Beatrix removes it's armor. It does get to attack and could have killed my Beatrix but that 1-speed card misses again. It takes one more round to wrap it up. Round 5 Well at this point the mages will finish off the fight and I will win those sweet RP points and some DEC and later on we will also earn SPS. Splintertools says I only had a 29% win chance. I am not sure I agree when I look at how the battle went. Yet I did get a lot of RNG luck on my side. I hope you enjoyed my battle breakdown.

Splinterlands Battle Share, See How I am Winning.

It is always fun when you get to level up a card for the Challenge. Life is my only level 3 team and I had not got my Portal Spinner there so I went ahead and took some of the profit from my last post and leveled him up. Then it was off to the battlefield. Let me show you how it worked out for me. Let's talk about the Portal Spinner a bit. Scatter Shot is fun but not always good for the team. Still, this card can help you kill a target that you can't attack because of Taunt. This can help a lot sometimes vs that Shield Bearer Deck that tries to make him immortal. Yet at the same, you can see that shot always goes to where you don't want it to go. This ability unlike others is very feast or famine. My battle showed this to a point but it was a bit of an easy win. The Line Up This was a reverse speed game with a lot of mana. That is a good sent up for my Life team. I was able to put out a lot of archers and I didn't need a time mage slow because now they have a much better chance to hit. I went with the Disintegrator upfront because of Demoralize and at level 3 he is only one speed making him the fastest in this mode. I follow up with the Djinn Renova because I wanted the life buff and 3 speed isn't a big deal for a magic attack. Next was my healer also at 3-speed, then 2-speed guys Arbalest and the Portal Spinner follow-up with the Prismologist. The idea there was to put the cards with armor on the end to slow down sneak attackers. This also put a lot of protection around my Arblast and Portal Spinner the 2 powerful cards for this fight. Well, The Prismologist is strong also but the double attack and scattershot is what I hoped would carry me. I rand into a Kelya deck. That was a little odd in this mode so maybe a bot but still the lineup wasn't terrible. They have two opportunity attackers and some very high hp mages up front. The Demon shark is fast but has a lot of armor. This level 1 team has a shot in this fight for sure. You can watch the full replay here but time to get into it. Round 1 With the buffs on now, things look a little better and a little worse. I have more HP but he has armor. Yet also he got faster. This might give me a better chance at some dodges. The main thing helping me is that I lowered his attack. Now he isn't going to kill anyone fast. The round will start with my Disintegrator hitting the demon shark then his seaweed will hit the Arbalest but only for one. Then 2-speed archers will get to attack. They all-land hits but the Portal spinners hit Nerissa removing that armor. That drops the Demon Shark down to 3 and when it is time for the 3 speed attacks the Narwhal will hit my Djinn but then I am able to kill off the demon share and hit Oshannus once. His Deeplurker hits my Arbalest also and the mages hurt my Disintegrator but not a bad round one. Round 2 It is clear that the speed boost is going to hurt him a lot. Most of the time that Oshannus would be a lot of trouble for me but not in this setup. This is the round I really take the match over. I don't miss any attacks. The portal Spinner Attacks the Deep Lurker not the best target but again gets that armor out of the way. The Arbalest is able to hit hard and that lets her team up with the Prismoldgiest to kill Oshanus. Then My healer is able to get a heal off before Nerissa attacks letting my Disintegrator live to round 3. But before that heal goes off the deep lurker tries to hit him and misses saving my Arbalest for round 3 now. Round 3 As you can see this match is now in my hands. But who will the portal spinner target? It was pretty funny to watch him go armor hunting again and hit the sniping narwhal. I have a lot of damage this round and really just take the fight over leaving him with just one guy on the board. Round 4 Look at that everything worked out just right that we are going to win this fight without losing anyone. It was nice to win. I know that was a level one team but it is the end of the season and that is what is around my rating. I didn't play for a few days. I need to get back to grinding up right now and posting has Hive is up and time to put those posting rewards into cards.Make sure you sign up to player Splinterlands and earn money while you do it.Aug 1, 2022

I lost bad in this battle but sharing it to laugh at myself

I am going to try something different this time. Most of the time I try and win with the card. But I had a hard time and it was time to stop burning ECR. With that in mind, this battle where I ran into a very strong team seemed fun to share. It happens to all of us, We run into these guys. Make sure you check out the Challenge here if you want to take part in this. You still have a few days to get a post in. You might know what is coming but the Hill Giant is a useful card. At 3 cost it can have up to 9 life and it is a card with a Stun. I don't have that in silver where I play. Now I rented this one for a few days and have been trying it out. It has been fun for sure to use it but it hasn't been winning when I try to force it into bigger mana. I know he is more of a star in low mana and reverse speed. That is where he can shine attacking early and later on stunning people before they can attack. Now in a normal game, he is a lot of HP for low mana why he is so good in the under 16 mana matches. For those of us that can't get a failed summoner then this guy can fit in. Yet wait till we get to the battle. Or Watch It Here The Line Up Well well, I see you bought a bit more gold than I did. Oh and is that a Legendary summoner. I see you guys are slumming it down here with me in silver 2. Pretty odd this late in the season but maybe you took some days off as I did? Well this is a Knock out battle and with no death team there isn't really a stun to use so I went with a nice strong magic team. I toss the Hill giant upfront cheap tank and then put the slipspawn in the back to give him some cover. Maybe in 1 on 1, he can outlast the other tank. Then I pick my best mages and with 7 mana I go with the bit slow archer because he has splash. When I saw his time I was like well maybe. I mean I could maybe get lucky. But I think all the gold just tricked my eyes. He has double repair and heal with okay damage back there. Round 1 Now that I have my magic buffs. Yet look at that void armor. When we look at the speeds it is a mixed bag. I have one fast guy that will go first but only take some armor. Then my slipspawn will take some fire and he will get a repair then I will hit his armor and he will get a repair again at the end but I will land a few more hits. Not much happens to his team at all but my Slipspawn takes a beating. Round 2 This might almost look like my team did okay. I mean his armor is gone and I hurt him a little and my guys are all still living. Oh how fast that changes this round. I do get him down to 6 hp but then the repairs and heals hit and Uriel deals a massive blow to my Giant right after they finish off my slipspawn. Things just go very wrong from there. Round 3 Well look at that they are all back up to full health and 2 of my guys are gone. Urile doesn't get to attack this round but now there is no real way for me to win this fight. But how long can I last? Round 4 Well now Urile has a armor and one more of my guys are dead. Those rounds without his attack do slow them down but I might be in trouble this round right. Round 5 Haha look at that made it to round 5 and now well look at this can I make to the next one? Yup because they won't have enough damage to finish me off. Round 6 When my GOBLIN TOWER stands alone it is over for sure. Well, Nikojen I hope I don't run into you again soon. The very well-made team that would be hard to deal with for sure.

Sharing a Splinterlands Battle Look How I won

Back at it again. My last one got skipped but go some support from the community so thanks. It is still fun to break down a battle and share it with all of you. This week then asked us to use Antoid Platoon a very strong card. I love this one a lot and was glad to give it a shot. Make sure you check out the Challenge here if you want to take part in this. I have this guy at level 3 as I am still only using a level 2 Tarsa but it is one that you always want to keep leveling up. The shield ability is very strong at the start of the game you can combo it with oppress and sometimes you have an immortal guy. It has a weakness and that is magic but other than that the Ants have a good shot at living longer than your opponent expects. As it levels we pick up more HP and armor and a bit more damage. The big upgrade is at level 6 when it gets scavager. Really you want to get it to 7 to get that HP back to 4 but then it is a great card to use in gold. This card will shine in little league, no mana matches, or even in any game if you can put in some silence or just have a fast team to up his hp. Yet when he works out as a tank it pretty much means you win the game. If a 4 cost you can put on the board can't be killed you win. It can also be used to just take a few blows in your last spot from sneak guys or a second tank that might have a lot more life by the time it moves up. Let me show you how it helped me win a game. The Line Up Well, look at that the Ants are staring down Grum. Are they worried? Have you ever seen ants worry? Yet in this poison match that is a lot of life up front to worry about and not much for my group of ants. I do have a cleanse and a lot of attackers swinging at Grum. But the question is can we get him before he bloodlust. The other key to his match is the sneak monsters they went with. Can they get to my Forgotten one? My lineup is really meant to just last long enough for the poison to kill the other team. While he seems to be to try and kill my back row off first. I got a little lucky that I put a guy with a lot of armor last and that my ants are the lowest HP on the board. That means the Serpent won't take out my back guys. I also think that he made a mistake with that ooze because slowing down my team that first round makes a big difference. But did I really win? You can watch the full replay here Round 1 Well, I am slow so here he comes first the Stryker will hit the armor on the Lava Launcher. THen his Spy clears out my Ants armor. My Launcher hits Grum for 3 and then the cleanse goes off and my ants get fast and gain a damage point and are able to hit Grum for 2 removing his armor. Now it is time for the 3 one speed guys to attack. This is where the slow hurt them IMO. If my Brute was 2 still he would hit grum and enrage him up to 8 damage but he is the legendary guy so he goes first and hits my ant at 5 damage and does 3 leaving him at 2. Then it goes my Stryker and Brute and then his worm removed the rest of my Launchers armor but overall, I feel okay about how that round went. I think my guys are okay and now it is time to see what poison is gonna do to the game. Round 2 Now you can see that things are about to change a lot, my only guy, at 2 or lower life is going live because he was cleansed but he is going to lose his ooze and the spy. My team is also about to go into enrage while his guys already were. Now that looks better. Grum is down to 7 and my team is not the slow one now. My Launcher will go first and put grum down to 4. It gets killed right after that by his striker but getting off that attack was huge. After that, the 3-speed guys get to attack. The Ants and Brute team up to kill grum before he can attack while the Stryker hits his Stryker and kills it. His Disintegrator drops down and does gett off an attack killing my ants. They have done their job at this point helping to kill Grum first and Taking the spy hit. My Stryker dies to end the round when the worm hits him and we head into round 3. Round 3 Now we can see that my idea is working perfectly. The Forgotten one is sitting there ready to get into this fight. There is a giant worm out there but his armor will protect the attack and the poison will win that fight for me. To start this round the poison will leave the Brute at 3 and my scavo to 1 while his guys will drop to 3 and 2. My brute will get cleansed and then attacks removing that armor. Then the worm hits and removes the armor from my forgotten one. After that my Brute gets killed by the Disintegrator. But that is the end of the round and we head into the next round to wrap up this up. Round 4 There it is the Worm will die from the poison and the Disintegrator will drop to 1 while my Forgotten will be sitting there with full heath after my other guy dies. THen it is just one attack and we got a win in the books. I sure am glad that I used some of my posting profits to get my Tarsa to level 2 and get a Forgotten One. They are perfect for these matches but the Ants did a lot of work just like they always do. Don't think that having a tank that was able to take that Grum strike and not die and then kill Grum the next round wasn't key to the victory. I hope to see more and more join this fun game.

Splinterlands Battle Break Down with Xwnith Archer

Okay, it is time to get back into posting. Can't lie the new rewards came out and just playing the game took over. But I won't grow the GoldSteve Account as fast if I don't take a break to share my battles. This week we get to show the Xenith Archer. The new-age natural archer that can fit into just about any team. Those are always fun because you can just play the card when you want to and it makes sense. Make sure you check out the Challenge here if you want to take part in this. All of us can get this card and show how we use it. The Xenith Archer is a 2 mana cost card. This is why it can fit into a lot of lineups. My summoner is at level 2 but for sure this was a card I also got to level. Good natural cards are key to having a good lineup on all your teams. This card fits in a few different ways. The clear one is the last card on the board with your last 2 mana. It has good hit points to cost. So it can slow down a sneak line and deal with some important hits to finish on monsters as it is slower. It is an archer so it will be a sniper target if it is your first back row ranged. Again it can take 2 hits often. That is the second major use. THen in some cases, it can be used to be the first opportunity target. The card isn't all cannon fodder. If you have a summoner that adds ranged damage it becomes even damage to the cost card or more damage to the cost. It is also helpful to counter that low-level Mylor deck. Let's get to the lineup. The Line Up Yup that is right we got a fun 13 mana battle. With melee monsters can attack from anywhere I wanted to use Kelya and the Serpent of Eld I was hoping that he would dodge a lot. With my last 2 mana, I bought out the Xenith Archer. Some might have turned to 2 one cost guys but I didn't have an. My thought here was that one it had armor it would stop any sneak or opportunity guys for at least 2 attacks. I also hoped that maybe it would land a few hits to finish off guys I left just barely alive. Now I ended up going up against a very odd team. They didn't really go for melee rules and instead just went for achers. They have an ooze to counter my speed up. That could be trouble. Yet with no armor on their side and all the 1 health monster, my Xenith archer might just deal some perfect blows. You can watch the full replay here to see what happened or just keep reading. Round 1 With the armor and speed buff and slow in place we can go over the battle a bit more. THey have a sniper but my Xenith Archer is a good counter with my 1 armor and 3 hp even with the boosted damage it would take 3 rounds to kill my Xenith Archer. The major fight is going to be with the Peacekeeper and the Serpent. Can I doge or will that 3 damage kill him off before I can kill off his protection? If there are no missing due to order of attack my Eld would have all armor gone but both the Scrapper and Chicken will die. I should be good but let's see what happens. I hit all my attacks and and the Lensmaster hits his but the dodge chance hits and the Peacekeeper misses a key attack. Round 2 With that miss I still have armor and that is a major plus. Now it is pretty clear that my place is going to work out. Due to speed and levels, my guys attack first. See playing level 1s can cost you because now the sniper won't get off an attack this round. The Peacemaker is the only one that gets to even shoot on the other team and missed again. Proving that my idea is working out well even if I am dodge archers and not merely guys as I thought. As a super cool bonus, the Xenith Archer kills off the Lensmaster this round always funny when a super cheap card kills off super expensive ones. Round 3 This fight is over. It will take me one extra round but the other side won't even get to fight back this round. The Peacemaker will force a round 4 but don't think you need to see that well it is clear that the Serpent of the eld was too much for them but the Xenith archer landing all 3 attacks was very helpful as it stopped them from having some extra attacks to try and get him. When you see that first look at the battle to come I am sure it looks like I am trouble. My two guys are way outnumbered. Yet in the end, it was pretty much a perfect victory. I mean I guess they broke some of my armor lol. Make sign up to play Splinterlands and earn money while you do it. On and blog about that also.Jul 2, 2022

Crypto Villages Full Review and Demo

Crypto Villages isn't a AAA play-to-earn game but they have a good team. Their goal is to make a fun game that will be played to earn. I like tokenomics. I also have been knowing to play games like this on my phone. Where you build up a town and a lot of units. Then go fight bosses or other players and watch them all die. There are a lot of games like this but not so many in the crypto world. I do think they have a shot if the PVP and Boss fights are done well. The game is still in prelaunch sales and if you are not ready to buy till it is at least in beta I would understand. Still, it is one I will be watching and hope to follow up on soon.

Breaking down how you can win a fight you might have lost

This week we are using one over the overlooked tanks for the Earth Team. Venari Knifer isn't your normal self-healing Golem or Pelacor but he still has a place on the team. I am glad that the card gets to show off how good it is in some battles. Make sure you check out the Challenge here if you want to take part in it. I know that it helps me grow this account a lot. I got lucky and pulled a gold one on this account so I have a level 3. I also have a level 2 summoner so that is why I show this. When we look at the stats for the card it has thorns and good speed okay hit points and solid damage. It isn't going to destroy the other team but is very use full. In super sneak or melee can attack from anywhere it is easy to get Venari Knifer on the board. If you play some cards to give her armor or shrooms to make sure mages are not too strong she can also tank. She will doge a bit and when she is hit might deal damage back. When she gets to a high level he picks up phase so now you just need to focus on a speed boost to make sure she can dodge all attacks. It does combo well with ample cards also. I prefer to use the Queen M if you have it when this card it works really well. For sure it isn't always your first choice but it can give you good RNG to win a match you might have lost. The Line Up Even after the update in silver 3, I am seeing level 1 cards that are letting me win a bit more. But in the equalizer fight, I went with the Venari Knifer as my tank and then backed it up with 3 mages. I went with a healer and a card with affliction to try and pull off the I can heal and you can't. When it came to the disciple that was maybe risky but was the best card I had left. I would have loved a 0 cost card to get another 10 hp guy don't he board but I don't have one. Lucky neither did he. Our lineups are very close with the same mage damage in the back and same damage tanks but would my skills win out? Could thorns beat void in a match like this? You can watch the full replay here to find out a bit faster but let's get into the rounds. Round 1 With magic boosted now at least I will be able to to hurt his Unicorn but can I land that affliction because without it this doesn't look good with my mages doing half damage. I do have one that does 3 so it will hit for 2 but if all his guys hit and my heal doesn't go off my Knifer is dead. The round starts with my Knifer landing a blow for 3 and then taking for 3 but dealing 2 back to drop the Unicorn to 5 not a bad exchange. Next the goes the 2 speed mages mine first. Now he is at 4 and I am at 5. Then my Legendary card goes to drop him to 3 and then the princess fires and I am 3. The next attack could be the game if I go first my Knifer lives if not it dies. Wow I did it and got off the heal and then get hit for 3. WE go into the next round with my tank at 3 and his at 4 after the heal. Round 2 Dr. Blight failed to get the affliction so the Unicor did get a heal. Now my Knifer is going to strike first. Nice his speed will let him get off 3 damage and when the unicor hits him back the thorns will finish it off. I feel okay about that trade but in a crazy move the Unicorn misses. That 5 speed pays off with some super lucky RNG. After that my 2-speed mage kills off the Unicorn and while the Knifer doesn't make it through the round he takes hits from both the 2 damage mages. This round I would have rather his goblin attack first but mine did so I didn't get off a heal and no affliction again. We head into round 3 pretty even still. Round 3 Well, look at that he had taken a little lead. I am going to need some more RNG and maybe a skill to hit to get back into the lead in this one. I get just want the Dr. ordered when he lands affliction and I get my heal off before my guy can die. That was such a major swing in the other direction that it put me in a great place going into round 4. Round 4 Look at that I am going to kill he process and it will happen before she attacks. If I get my heal off before his Goblin attacks. Then I won't lose my first mage yet. Not only does that happen but Dr. Blight came in and got the affliction on the first attack on the Goblin Pysic. Not only did he not kill my mage we stopped the healer from being able to heal and took over this fight going into round 5. Round 5 He can't heal any more so now it is just about the attacks going off. I get a bit more luck as my guy with 1 hp gets his attack off first before dying. It also appears that gold doesn't work as I just remembered his level 1 summoner means my level 2 always goes first. See it wasn't RNG it was spending a bit more to level up my cards. Round 6 It would take one more round to end this fight but I will end my recap here as you can see it will just take 2 rounds of damage to finish this fight. I don't think either of us had the cards for perfect teams but mine were leveled up so they went first. That played a major part in my win. I know in round 2 it looked like I might lose. Yet in the end, I won with a lot of a lead. I hope you enjoyed my battle breakdown. Make sure you sign up to player Splinterlands and earn money while you do iJun 4, 2022

Breaking Down A Splinterlands Battle Showing You How I Won

This week the team asked to take a look at the CRUEL SETHROPOD. It is one of those cards a lot people overlook. Sure it doesn't have a lot of attack or life but that armor is something that works well on the team. In the right match, he can make all the difference. I will go over how I used him and what makes the card so good. Make sure you check out the Challenge here if you want to take part in this. It is a good idea to check out a few posts if you haven't done this before. CRUEL SETHROPOD in all his glory is a 3-cost mini tank that will live longer than you expect. I have featured him at level 3 because that is what I have right now playing in silver 3. Level 3 is a nice upgrade as you get that extra attack to make sure you can at least deal at least 1 damage to a tank with shield. He gets more armor and hp as you level him up to help deal with the extra damage the other monsters get. In the end, it can have 3 attack with 6 armor and 7 health. Just pair him up with Keelya the main summoner and he gets more armor and speed. That is a great mana-cost to tank stats set up. Now he can't be pulled out in those 40 mana matches often but he is a star in under 20 and equalizer. When a card that only uses up a few mana lives for 3 or 4 rounds it is good. It is also a nice option for a cheap tank in the water sneak team. Let's get to the lineup. The LineUp This is a 16-mana equalizer battle. In this mode for sure I was ready to get the Cruel Sethropod a shot. I put him upfront and then follow it up with the chaos agent behind to be a sniper target or second tank. Then I put the pirate archer because even at 1 that blast lets him try and do two then I got to the killers of my team the PELACOR BANDIT and URAEUS hoping to take out the other team from behind before my double tanks went down. Some people just put Chaos Agent upfront here but I wanted a tank that could take hits with armor as at low levels with dodge he doesn't last as long. I was hoping that both might get pushed up a lot of hp but my opponent had similar ideas. He didn't play anyone with a lot of HP so we ended up with only 4. The key here is he did play a tank with shield and armor with armor repair. If I had not gone for a sneak team I would have had a lot of trouble. But Can my 2 sneak guys do take out the backline before he takes out my front? Let's find out. You can watch the full replay here if you want to skip ahead. Round 1 With the summoner buffs in place, you can start to see how this match will go. Sure his guys got a bit stronger but mine got faster. I got an armor he got an extra HP. He only has 2 attackers and I have 3 but his tank has shield so will take zero from my archer while but the blast will start working on that second tank. Both my sneak attackers will attack first because Uraeus is epic he will win the 3-speed check and that will matter a lot more later. The round will start with trading blows in the end I will hit the Spy for 3 and he will take off my armor. The armor repair will fix the one damage I do to his tank but the blast does hurt the second monster. There is no funny stuff this round it runs like normal. Round 2 This is the round where speed matters a lot. If both of his guys get to attack then my Sethropod is dead but my sneak guys will go first. It will take both of them to kill the spy even if I only need Uraeus. With only one other attacker on the board, he will only deal 2 damage but the repair is still in place so the Ants are still in perfect shape when the rounds end. Oh, and my blast damage keeps working on that second tank. Not to be overlooked. Round 3 Now we head into round 3. I am starting to feel good about this fight. Even though my Sethropod should die this round I will start to take that repair that is a problem. My pirate archer will keep working on weakening that secondary tank. The rounds are pretty fast with only one attacker on his side but it is a slow march to victory. Round 4 Now my Choas agent is upfront but as you can see this round that repair guy is going to die. The buff to 5 hp was a bummer as it did negate a lot of my bandit's attacks. Still, things are starting to look like they are going my way. It is going to take him 3 turns to kill the Chaos agent and that is if he doesn't miss an attack with the 1 speed on the 3 speed. Round 5 Opps that shot was after Bandit pinged him for one. No misses yet but still 2 more rounds. And look at that the Pirate achers has been working hard and while the ants laugh at him he tells them to check behind them as he kills the backup. That is might have looked like it was nothing big but he helped a lot more than people might think Now my sneak monsters and the only got on my team that can even hurt those ants will get there faster. Round 6 This is the first round the bandit will deal important damage. No one missed last turn so we both chaos agents are at 2. Speed will help me out as the pirates and bandit will combine to kill off his chaos agent first. Then my Uraeus will start to ping away at those ants. He will need 7 attacks. Will that work out for me? Round 7 Yup, he missed his attack, and even if he hit all of his attacks with that 1 armor on the guys behind him it would take him 10 attacks to kill all of my guys and 11 with that miss. I won't make you watch the rest here but it did take till round 12 for me to finish him off he missed one more attack on the pirate also. Even if he didn't miss the others he would have had a hard time with the 5-speed flight bandit. My lineup turned out to be perfect to counter what he was doing. But it also came down to the fact that my cards are leveled up. Make sure to level up the good ones it matters a lot to win some matches. This was a low-level battle hard to say who wins if we are at higher levels. If the ants had scavage could be an issue but then the bandit can hurt him to counter that. Overall I think that going back row works except what if Scavo had his camo? Hmm, then I couldn't kill him with sneak. The game changes at every level but I made the right move down here in silver 3.
