SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! CRYPT BEETLE EN-US/PT-BR
Introduction
Another weekly challenge launched (Splinterlands, 2022), this time about a card from the Set Chaos Legion and the Splinter of Death, the Crypt Beetle.
Before the release of Harklaw, there were no cards in Death Splinter that had the Shield skill since level 01. With the release of Crypt Beetle, Death Splinter now had two cards with this skill since Level 1. This was important because enabled the assembly of physical Anti-Blast compositions in this Splinter since the Bronze League, as the strategy presented in Greengineer (2022-a), where I neutralized a Yodin Zaku by combining Summoner Quix The Devious with Harklaw and Crypt Beetle. After this brief introduction, let's analyze the card to understand its potential:
- Shield: Physical damage taken is halved rounded up, except for damage equal to 01 which is neutralized.
With little MP cost and a tank ability, Crypto Beetle is a powerful card in compositions with low Summon MP and/or Equalizer, Little League, and Lost Magic rules. He can also make a difference in battles with Super Sneak active, as featured in Greengineer (2022-b). The battle to be presented had Equalizer active, and just like done in Greengineer (2022-c), I combined the Crypt Beetle with the Mimosa Nightshade to create a low-cost Chain Golem.
The strategy before the battle
The battle had 32 MP to summon, Life and Dragon Splinters were disabled, and the Equalizer and Stampede rules were active. My opponent's history was full of battles with Obsidian, so I would have to seek to reduce his advantage that was magic attack and his healing abilities. Summoner Mimosa Nightshade makes Void available to all allies and the Affliction debuff to all enemies, which would take away my opponent's advantage if he followed the same line of his history, so I chose it.
With Equalizer in play I wouldn't have to worry about the Crypt Beetle's biggest drawback as a tank, which is its low HP, so I chose it for this position. The Life Leech skill is very powerful in battles with Equalizer active, so I selected Venari Bonesmith for second position and Life Sappler for fourth position. In third place I put Death Elemental with Silence, aiming to reduce even more the advantage of a possible Obsidian on the other side. In fifth position I put the Octopider with Demoralize in case the enemy tank was looking to take advantage of the active Stampede rule and in the last position the Enchanted Defender with Thorns, in case there were attacks from the rear.
Once assembled the team was hoping that the high HP of my Octopider didn't help my opponent more than I did, but he came with a monster with even more HP, Grund Lvl 4.
The battle
As expected, my opponent came with Summoner Obsidian combined with several magic monsters. As a tank he chose the aforementioned Grund, with Double Strike and Trample. He placed Queen Mycelia and Spirit Hoarder with the Triage skill in third and fourth positions. In the fifth position he selected the Magi of Chaos with his high magic attack and in the last position the Regal Peryton
with its high speed. To occupy the second slot he selected the Furious Chicken with zero MP consumption.
Analysing my opponent's team, I noticed that I would only have to worry about the attacks of his tank and the duo Magi of Chaos and Regal Peryton. If I would hit my Venari Bonesmith's poison on the Grund early in the game I would ensure his elimination before my Crypt Beetle crashed, paving the way for my victory.
In the first round I guaranteed Grund's poisoning. My Crypt Beetle was still standing.
In the second round Grund went down and my Crypt Beetle was still alive.
In the third round I lost my Crypt Beetle with the Magi of Chaos attack.
In the fourth round, it was Furious Chicken's turn to fall. My Venari Bonesmith resisted enemy onslaughts.
In the sixth round Queen Mycelia was defeated. And the Venari continued to resist.
In the seventh round the Spirit Hoarder was shot down.
In the ninth round the Magi of Chaos went to the coffin, so the damage my Venari Bonesmith would receive would be equal to the amount of life gained by its Life Leech skill, ensuring that I wouldn't lose any more monsters.
During the eleventh round the last enemy monster was eliminated, guaranteeing my victory.
The Crypt Beetle played a key role in holding Grund for the first 2 rounds, preventing him from activating his Trample ability. After his death the Venari Bonesmith took over and fulfilled the role of tank phenomenally. The Enchanted Defender ended up doing nothing in the match, but his presence ensured my rear guard was safe.

Introdução
Mais um desafio semanal lançado (Splinterlands, 2022), desta vez sobre uma carta do Set Chaos Legion e do Splinter da Morte, o Crypt Beetle.
Antes do lançamento do Harklaw não havia nenhuma carta no Splinter da Morte que possuía a habilidade Shield desde o level 01. Com o lançamento do Crypt Beetle o Splinter da Morte passou a ter duas cartas com esta habilidade desde o Level 1. Isso foi importante pois possibilitou a montagem de composições Anti-Blast físico neste Splinter desde a Liga Bronze, como a estratégia apresentada em Greengineer (2022-a), onde neutralizei um Yodin Zaku combinando o Summoner Quix The Devious com o Harklaw e o Crypt Beetle. Após esta breve introdução, vamos analisar a carta para entender seu potencial:
- Shield: O dano físico recebido é reduzido pela metade arredondado para cima, exceto para o dano igual a 01 que é neutralizado.
Com pouco custo de MP e uma habilidade tanque o Crypto Beetle é uma carta poderosa em composições com baixo MP de invocação e / ou com as regras Equalizer, Little League e Lost Magic. Ele também pode fazer a diferença em batalhas com Super Sneak ativo, como apresentado em Greengineer (2022-b). A batalha de hoje tinha Equalizer ativo, e assim como feito em Greengineer (2022-c), combinei o Crypt Beetle com a Mimosa Nightshade para criar um Chain Golem de baixo custo.
A estratégia antes da batalha
A batalha tinha 32 de MP para invocação, os Splinters da Vida e do Dragão estavam desabilitados e as regras Equalizer e Stampede estavam ativas. O histórico de meu oponente estava cheio de batalhas com a Obsidian, logo teria que buscar reduzir sua vantagem que era o ataque mágico e suas habilidades de cura. A Summoner Mimosa Nightshade disponibiliza Void para todos os aliados e o debuff Affliction para todos os inimigos, o que retiraria a vantagem de meu oponente caso ele seguisse a mesma linha de seu histórico, logo a escolhi.
Com Equalizer em jogo eu não precisaria me preocupar com a maior desvantagem do Crypt Beetle como tanque, que é seu baixo HP, logo eu o escolhi para esta posição. A habilidade Life Leech é muito poderosa em batalhas com Equalizer ativo, logo selecionei o Venari Bonesmith para a segunda posição e o Life Sappler para quarta posição. Na terceira posição coloquei o Death Elemental com Silence, visando reduzir ainda mais a vantagem de uma possível Obsidian do outro lado. Na quinta posição coloquei o Octopider com Demoralize caso o tanque inimigo buscasse se aproveitar da regra Stampede ativa e na última posição o Enchanted Defender com Thorns, caso houvesse ataques pela retaguarda.
Uma vez montado o time era torcer que o alto HP de meu Octopider não ajudasse mais meu oponente do que eu, mas ele veio com um monstro com mais HP ainda, o Grund Lvl 4.
A batalha
Como esperado, meu oponente veio com a Summoner Obsidian combinada a diversos monstros mágicos. Como tanque ele escolheu o já mencionado Grund, com Double Strike e Trample. Ele colocou a Queen Mycelia e o Spirit Hoarder com a habilidade Triage nas terceira e quarta posições. Na quinta posição selecionou o Magi of Chaos com seu alto ataque mágico e na última posição o Regal Peryton
com sua alta velocidade. Para ocupar o segundo slot ele selecionou a Furious Chicken com consumo nulo de MP.
Observando o time de meu adversário notei que só teria que me preocupar com os ataques de seu tanque e da dupla Magi of Chaos e Regal Peryton. Se eu acertasse o veneno de meu Venari Bonesmith no Grund no início da partida eu garantiria sua eliminação antes da queda de meu Crypt Beetle, abrindo o caminho para a minha vitória.
No primeiro round garanti o envenenamento do Grund. Meu Crypt Beetle continuava em pé.
No segundo round o Grund caiu e meu Crypt Beetle ainda estava vivo.
No terceiro round perdi meu Crypt Beetle com o ataque do Magi of Chaos.
No quarto round foi a vez da Furious Chicken cair. Meu Venari Bonesmith resistia às investidas inimigas.
No sexto round a Queen Mycelia foi derrotada. E o Venari seguia resistindo.
No sétimo round o Spirit Hoarder foi abatido.
No nono round o Magi of Chaos foi pro caixão, desta forma o dano que meu Venari Bonesmith passaria a receber seria igual a quantidade de vida ganha pela sua habilidade Life Leech, garantindo que eu não perderia mais nenhum monstro.
Durante o décimo primeiro round o último monstro inimigo foi eliminado, garantindo a minha vitória.
O Crypt Beetle teve um papel fundamental segurando o Grund nos primeiros 02 rounds, evitando que ele ativasse sua habilidade Trample. Após a sua morte o Venari Bonesmith assumiu o posto e cumpriu o papel de tanque de forma fenomenal. O Enchanted Defender acabou fazendo nada na partida, mas sua presença garantiu a segurança de minha retaguarda.

They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.
They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?
