Introduction

Another weekly challenge released (Splinterlands, 2022), this time about a card from the Death Splinter and the Chaos Legion Set, the Silent Sha-Vi.

• Sneak: Attacks the enemy's rear monster, except if it is in first position.
• Cripple: Hitting an enemy reduces your max HP by 01 point.
• Piercing: If the damage exceeds the target's Shield the difference will hit the enemy's HP.

The Silent Sha-Vi is a fast monster like most monsters with the Sneak ability. Its summon cost is high compared to other cards in this category, but its high HP makes up for this difference. The presence of the Cripple ability allows him to pave the way for the defeat of enemies with high HP and Heal that are in the backline, such as Kron or Cornealus. The Piercing ability allows for the elimination of units with low HP and 01 Shield that are in the rear in one hit.

Next, a battle with his participation will be presented.

The strategy before the battle

The battle had Holy Protection and Broken Arrows rules, 36 MP available and only Life Splinter disabled. My opponent's history showed that his Focus was Fire Splinter, with several battles using Yodin Zaku.

With Broken Arrows in play I didn't worry about Yodin, because if it was used it would only provide Blast and HP to his allies. I sought to reduce enemy Melee damage, which is often the Fire Splinter's strong point. Then I used the Crypt Mancer as a Summoner, reducing 01 of the enemy's melee attack, speed and HP. As a tank I chose the Lord of Darkness, with Enrage, Stun, Shield and Retaliate. In second position I put Corrupted Pegasus with Reach, Strengthen and Tank Heal. In the third position I placed the Silent Sha-Vi with Sneak, Cripple and Piercing. In fourth and fifth positions I put Boogeyman and Fallen Specter with Debuffs Slow, Rust, Demoralize and Blind. In the rear I placed the Ever-Hungry Skull with Thorns.

Once assembled the team was hoping that my tank's Stun would paralyze the enemy tank.

The battle

My opponent came with Yodin Zaku as a Summoner and Magnor as a tank, this one with Taunt, Enrage, Trample and Return Fire. In the second, fourth and fifth positions he placed monsters with the Swiftness ability, being the Spirit Miner, the Flame Imp and the Flame Monkey respectively. In second place he placed the Dwarven Wizard with Snipe and Stun and in the last position the Beetle Queen with Tank Heal and Inspire.

Its objective was to make Magnor untargetable against physical attacks when activating Enrage, with the 03 Swiftess buffs, but I managed to block 02 of them with the debuffs of my Summoner and Boogeyman. My Silent Sha-Vi wouldn't be able to attack the enemy backline while Magnor was on the battlefield, but its debuff Cripple would be useful against Beetle Queen's Tank Heal.

In the first round Magnor fell after my team's combined attack.

In the second round the Spirit Miner fell and the Dwarven Wizard was about to leave the match. The Silent Sha-Vi removed the Divine Shield from the Beetle Queen.

In the third round the Dwarven Wizard was eliminated by the Fallen Specter and the Beetle Queen fell with the attack of the Silent Sha-Vi. Afterwards, the Flame Imp was killed by the Corrupted Pegasus.

In the fourth round, Flame Monkey fell after Silent Sha-Vi's attack.

My enemy's strategy depended on his tank surviving a few rounds, but he was eliminated in the first, opening the way for my team. Despite the Blast provided by Yodin, he was unable to kill any allies.

Introdução

Mais um desafio semanal lançado (Splinterlands, 2022), desta vez sobre uma carta do Splinter da Morte e do Set Chaos Legion, o Silent Sha-Vi.

• Sneak: Ataca o monstro da retaguarda inimiga, com exceção se tiver na primeira posição.
• Cripple: Ao acertar um inimigo reduz seu HP máx em 01 ponto.
• Piercing: Se o dano ultrapassar o Shield do alvo a diferença atingirá o HP do inimigo.

O Silent Sha-Vi é um monstro veloz como a maioria dos monstros com a habilidade Sneak. Seu custo de invocação é alto comparado com outras cartas desta categoria, mas seu alto HP compensa esta diferença. A presença da habilidade Cripple possibilita ele abrir o caminho para a derrota de inimigos com alto HP e Heal que estejam na backline, como o Kron ou o Cornealus. A habilidade Piercing permite a eliminação em um só golpe de unidades com baixo HP e 01 de Shield que estejam na retaguarda.

A seguir será apresentada uma batalha com a sua participação.

A estratégia antes da batalha

A batalha tinha as regras Holy Protection e Broken Arrows, 36 de MP disponíveis e apenas o Splinter da Vida desabilitado. O histórico de meu oponente mostrava que seu Focus era o Splinter de Fogo, com diversas batalhas utilizando o Yodin Zaku.

Com Broken Arrows em jogo não me preocupei com o Yodin, pois caso fosse utilizado só forneceria Blast e HP para seus aliados. Busquei reduzir o dano Melee inimigo, que costuma ser o ponto forte do Splinter de Fogo. Logo utilizei o Crypt Mancer como Summoner, reduzindo 01 do ataque melee, da velocidade e do HP inimigo. Como tanque escolhi o Lord of Darkness, com Enrage, Stun, Shield e Retaliate. Na segunda posição coloquei o Corrupted Pegasus com Reach, Strenghten e Tank Heal. Na terceira posição coloquei o Silent Sha-Vi com Sneak, Cripple e Piercing. Nas quarta e quinta posições coloquei o Boogeyman e o Fallen Specter com os Debuffs Slow, Rust, Demoralize e Blind. Na retaguarda posicionei o Ever-Hungry Skull com Thorns.

Uma vez montada a equipe era torcer que o Stun de meu tanque paralisasse o tank inimigo.

A batalha

Meu oponente veio com o Yodin Zaku como Summoner e com o Magnor como tank, esse com Taunt, Enrage, Trample e Return Fire. Nas segunda, quarta e quinta posições ele colocou monstros com a habilidade Swiftness, sendo o Spirit Miner, o Flame Imp e o Flame Monkey respectivamente. Na segunda posição ele colocou o Dwarven Wizard com Snipe e Stun e na última a Beetle Queen com Tank Heal e Inspire.

Seu objetivo era fazer o Magnor ficar inalvejável contra ataques físicos quando ativasse o Enrage, com os 03 buffs Swiftess, mas consegui bloquear 02 deles com os debuffs de meu Summoner e do Boogeyman. Meu Silent Sha-Vi não conseguiria atacar a backline inimiga enquanto o Magnor estivesse no campo de batalha, mas seu debuff seria útil contra o Tank Heal da Beetle Queen.

No primeiro round o Magnor caiu após o ataque combinado de minha equipe.

No segundo round o Spirit Miner caiu e o Dwarven Wizard ficou prestes a sair da partida. O Silent Sha-Vi retirou o Divine Shield da Beetle Queen.

No terceiro round o Dwarven Wizard foi eliminado pelo Fallen Specter e a Beetle Queen caiu com o ataque do Silent Sha-Vi. Na sequência o Flame Imp foi morto pelo Corrupted Pegasus.

No quarto round o Flame Monkey caiu após o ataque do Silent Sha-Vi.

A estratégia de meu inimigo dependia de seu tanque sobreviver alguns rounds, porém ele foi eliminado já no primeiro, abrindo o caminho para a minha equipe. Apesar do Blast providenciado pelo Yodin, ele não conseguiu abater nenhum aliado.

Espero que tenham gostado da partida, se quiserem acompanhá-la em detalhes é só clicar em Greengineer (2022).
