SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! PELACOR ARBALEST
This week's Share Your Battle challenge features Pelacor Arbalest! Pelacor Arbalest is one of my favorite cards to play when i choose the Life splinter. It is a super solid ranged attacker, even though it does (as you may tell from the title of this post) have a few drawbacks that you should be mindful of while constructing your lineup.
Should you desired to leap to the actual motion, the actual Fight Hyperlink is actually the following. Wish to listen to more concerning the selection? Continue reading additional!
Note: I don't won dragon cards.
Battle
The ruleset for this battle is Healed Out (no healing allowed) and Explosive Weaponry (all Monsters get the Blast Ability which does additional damage to Monsters adjacent to the target Monster), and its mana restriction is pretty loose - 54. So this is a great opportunity for me to deploy our Mechanical Dragon friend on its first mission - Seek & Destr.. erm.. Protect, I mean Protect.😝 As already discussed in the previous section, it has a great tanking toolkit even at level 2 (Silver is my personal playground).
The 2nd place in the line-up goes to a Monster I have already blogged about (you can find the link at the bottom of the page), namely the Carnage Titan. It's currently the best off-tank in the game due to its Reach and Double Strike abilities. You can never go wrong if you pair the Carnage Titan with the Explosive Weaponry ruleset. Who says Fireworks are only cool on NY's Eve.
The 3rd place in the line-up goes to the Chaos Dragon. Another Monster who can be a potential MVP and also which I have a dedicated blog about (link at the same place). This Dragon is an actual real Dragon (surprising, I know 😃) but it's stats are great for the occasion, even though it already has an explosive attack at level 2, it is a good fit for the overall setup.
It is time for a quick round by round analysis:
So the Summoner I am going with for this battle is a rented level 2 Thaddius Brood the one and only Dragon Summoner I use. On the other hand it has turned out I am playing against no other than the Blinding Reflector , Sunkai Harvester, coming straight from Japan to show me how it's done. His Summoner of choice is a level 3 Byzantine Kitty. However, the issue I see straight off the bat is not the summoner he is using but the level 2 Stitch Leech with its Reflection Shield ability, right next to his Dark Halon, in the last spot, with taunt and scavenger. This effectively means that all splash damage from my ranged attacks, drawn in by the taunt Monster, will be negated. One Blinding Reflector will win this battle but it might not be mine.
After 1 round, both line-ups have not suffered any losses yet. So it is still hard to tell who has an advantage at this point. I damage opposite side 2 cards.
At the start of Round 2 I have managed to take down Blinding Reflector and Sunkai Harvester but as we can see from the screen shot below taken a moment after the beginning of Round 2, my Stitch Leech is a goner as well. I damage opposite side 1 more card.
Round 3 and both teams have 3 Monsters left on the battlefield. However, the enemy's advantage is glaringly obvious. I damage opposite side 1 cards.
The Blinding Reflector is a fantastic tank for the Dragon Splinter. I'll stick to renting it though. Definitely worth throwing it in any battle with a large mana pool. I cannot think of an occasion where you might go wrong with that.
And Finally I win the Splinterlands Battle game.
