Legionnaire Alvar as an Opportunist!

Good evening dear Splinterlands and Hive community!

The theme for the current weekly Share Your Battle Challenge is LEGIONNAIRE ALVAR. What an Alpha design with that confident look while standing behind a Long Sword and covered with Heavy Armor.

I'll be sharing a battle featuring Legionnaire Alvar in a Bronze ... Oups, I mean, Silver League in a unique ruleset like mentionned in the title but before that, let's take a look at:

Lore

The Chaos Legionnaires are ruthless warriors and the Chaos Legion's elite fighting force. Alvar Veralyn was conscripted into their ranks at a young age after his family was slain and his world conquered by the Chaos Legion. The harsh conditioning that all conscripts receive nearly broke the child, but in the end, his old, easy way of life was subsumed by the desire for battle and conquest. Alvar dedicated himself to his training, intent on reshaping his mind and his body until he had no equal on the battlefield. Eventually, he rose to the rank of General and now stands as leader of the Chaos Legionnaires.
Alvar is a most imposing sight on the battlefield. His armor is imbued to withstand the strongest of magical attacks, and even the mightiest of foes is no match for his massive, two-handed sword, which some say was forged in the Realm of Nightmare. He lives for battle, wading through his enemies and striking them down as he seeks out the strongest among them to engage in single combat. He enjoys nothing more than watching the life fade from his opponent's eyes. His conquests are legendary even among the Legionnaires, and he earned the title of Godkiller after the Battle of Dargnilat, during which he single-handedly defeated one of the Old Gods.

Our Main Actor

Legionnaire Alvar is a 9 mana Legendary Neutral Card that belongs to the Chaos Legion Edition! This Card stands out with a Heavy Armor ar consistent with its Design and Lore and decent chunk of Health while the speed and attack are okayish

What makes this card stands out is his Abilities:
i

  • Void Armor (level 1): Magic attacks will hit Alvar's armor before its Health, resulting in 14 Hit Points at level 1 and 16 Hit Points at level 4
    Giant Killer (level 2): Double damage against targets that cost 10 or more mana, with the emerging of many frontline monsters with 10+ Mana, this ability always comes in handy!
  • Demoralize (level 3) : -1 Melee attack of all enemy Monsters, perfect in Melee Mayhem, Up close and Personal ... Rulesets
  • Deathblow (level 4) : Double damage to the only monster left on the enemy team, the Title of Godkiller isn't for nothing!

As a Legendary NFT we are always interested in its price for buying and renting:

  • Regular Foil sells for $5.74 increasing in price since the last couple of weeks and is currently rented at 2.14 DEC/day

  • Gold Foil sells for $36 and increasing in price since the last couple of weeks too and is currently rented at 8.55 DEC/day

  • More CP is acquired by renting the Gold foil plus the additional +10% SPS gains per battle win!

Rulesets

b

The Ruleset in a 99 Mana Opportunity Ruleset with All Splinter Available except for Dragons, while it was a bummer for not being able to put my Dragons into action, This was an opportunity to put all my highest Melee Monsters into the action!

My Actors

CardDescription
sThis Legendary Summoner slowly becoming my favourite and most fun summoner. +2 Health h for additional tankiness, Reach won't be relevant but Trample t will be triggered easier since the weakest monster is targeted each attack!
tThanks to the Taunt ttand by putting it on the 1st position, all attacks are directed to Kraken, with 16 health and 3 Armor while still doing 4 melee damageper turn, it'll take a while for the enemy to get through it
gWe hate armor in this type of Rulesets but thankfully Pierce pwill cut through it like butter on its way to the target's health. Goblin Attacks will never feel wasted! That's 4 Melee Damage per turn m + a potential Trample
ttTorhilo or The Anti-Magic Cow, his tankiness consisting of Void + 9 Health and 5 Armor cover up for its Low speed (high possibility of missing), anyways I've picked it for its 4 Melee Damage m
lOur Main Actor for this week, he got everything we need, if only we could access its Demoralize ability and the battle will be easily won!
dAll Melee Composition, He you go Inspire ifor even more damage! it bumps up the damage Damage by a whopping +6 Damage per turn! talk about Broken!
The bear got the Tankiness (11 Health) Decent Speed and enough Damage 3 Melee but by being salty he'll provide Protect for everybody to make enemy team life more miserable

The Battle Comment

Round 1

Looking at my team after a series of buffs and debuffs, 3 Monsters with an insane 5 Melee Damage m, that's gonna hurt!

First the enemy backline starts attacking first, LIRA, DHAMPIR STALKER and SILENT SHAVI lending hits on KRAKEN tt and only reducing its health to 12.
GOBLIN MECH Pierce p through ARACHNE Armor and Health while ARKEMIS does the finishing blow and Trample t to DJINN MURAT Armor
Followed by ALVAR and DEMENTED SHARK and finally TORHILLO takes the kill from SILENT SHAVI and Trample t to DHAMPIR STALKER for a double kill:

Round 2-3

There is not much chance for the enemy team to retaliate, while HARKLAW standing strong with Shield, the rest of the team is still vulnerable.
it was LEGIONNAIRE ALVAIRE who slayed HARKLAW for the kill and Trample t to DJINN MURAT.

The rest of the battle was wrapped up on the beginning of the 3rd Round and claiming the VICTORY!

Final Thoughts

This battle was more like a Stomp than showcasting the unique abilities of Legionnaire Alvar, lukily he ended up doing some decent work in the battle that I was able to showcast in the Post.

What would be ideal is placing Legionnaire Alvar with Ressurect monster, you know the Triple Ressurect Team of Chansus,Adelaide Brightwing and Darius
I'm sure it'll be so tilting to have to go through Alvar's Armor 4 Times before getting to the rest of the team!
Hopefully some another time I'll be highlighting such battle!

But still, I think Alvar would be much impactful the higher its level by unlocking its abilities
