Splinterlands: Coastal Sentry is amazing in Melee Mayhem

Splinterlands is a complex game, and it allows for various cards and strategies. Each fight is different as there are various rulesets applied, and this can give specific cards an advantage depending on how you use them. In this post, I talk about a great battle where I won because I used Coastal Sentry.

Featured cards

Coastal Sentry is a water archon that costs 10 mana. This splinter starts off with double strike. Leveling this card gives it pierce at level 6 and knockout at level 10.

Rule Set, Battle, and Plan

The focus of this lineup is to keep my monsters alive while dealing damage and outlasting my opponent. My archon is Kelya Frendul for +1 armor and speed. My tank is Alva the Crusher with shield and bloodlust, followed by Deeplurker with opportunity. Then I have Demented Shark and Coastal Sentry since melee mayhem allows them to attack from those positions. Finally, I have Venari Wavesmith with protect, and my final monster is a filler.

Round 1

At first glance, I think that this match is my win because I have the speed advantage, and I have extra armor. Also, Coastal Sentry is quite fast, so it can deal massive damage.

Round 4

A few rounds later, my opponent is down to 2 monsters while I have 5 left. This is my win because I can't see myself missing that much given my speed advantage.

I won the match later that round.

Conclusion

The battle did go exactly as planned. Coastal Sentry is such an amazing damage dealer, and with the ruleset that limits the enemies' health, it was even more powerful. The speed and damage buffs were amazing, as it didn't give my opponent much of a chance.

What did you think of my match? Was there anything you would have done differently? I think it is quite interesting to see how different players use the same card.
