Why is it so hard to win with the Venari knifer

Hello splinter nerds!

First of all, i take back my word about the focus update, i think i like it more now, though it requires more time than ever but the rewards are really worth it, i spend more than 5 hours grinding on my focus splinter, i will abandon it for some time and later get back to it just to make sure the chest i will open will be more, i got 12 chest today, this is the highest ever since the focus update was implemented...

I Tried hard to use the monster for the battle challenge to win a battle but all effort from morning till now just fruitless, i could not win a single battle with it, just can't seem to see a right place it fit in, can't use it in front as it has no healing and also vulnerable to magic monsters, and can't place it in the middle as well as that only makes it more useless and at the end? ofcourse there are better options!

After playing all day just to find a suitable battle for it and i couldn't find, i started using it blindly and end up losing all the battles, so yea we can term this monster useless in battles except it is an all melee can attack from any position rules and even for that, there are better splinter to use than the earth!

Playing all day paid off with good reward though, when i open the chest, it was a load of dec i saw! and yea that compensated me for playing and playing all day....

The biggest dec reward there is 7856, it will take me seven days to earn that just by playing rank battles so i will say the focus update is awesome! Good reward flowing once again, my ecr suffered a great deal though, took it down to 62 percent, need to chill till tomorrow before clicking on battle again...

The Venari knifer is a good card but then it is not the kind of card that can give me victory in battles, maybe it is due to my my own tactics of playing, i really can''t tell but yea it is useless in my battle play...

The backfire ability is a really good one to have and with the combo of its speed, it will be disastrous for the enemy, it may not be a good card in ranked battles but i believe it will be useful in tournament that deals with only chaos monsters...

No battles to show for it. i did try to win with it but didn't go well! so yea i gave up lol
