A Chaos Defender in a Life Deck, meet Chaos Knight.

This week's challenge is about Chaos Knight and that's what I'm going to talk about today. Chaos Knight is a common card in the life deck and belongs to the chaos legion edition, but is it a useful card to use in battles? In this post I will talk about him and also show him in battle so let's go.

As I said before it belongs to the life deck and is a melee type card that you will probably use in first position as it is the only way for it to attack enemy cards (unless you have a rule in the game that helps you attacking from another position ), besides his attack is not great but his main function will be to defend, his speed is also not high and his life is not high either, but he has a lot of shield and abilities that will help him to be kept for a while good time in battle.

Now let's talk about your skills.

His first skill is Shield and it makes the Chaos Knight receive reduced damage from cards with melee and ranged attacks, being more specific he will only receive half the year but there are conditions for this, for example if a card with 3 attack melee attack him then the correct thing would be for him to receive 1.5 damage since it is half but it is not possible to cause this amount of damage in a battle so the value is rounded up and the damage dealt would be 2, in the same way if the attack enemy was 4 it would also take 2 damage. It's a great skill to defend yourself as melee and ranged cards are most often present in battles.

His second skill is the Giant Killer and it's a skill that has recently arrived in splinterlands, its function is to deal double damage to cards that have 10 mana cost or more. I think it's an interesting skill but it doesn't have much use these days in battles because there are few cards with that mana cost in splinterlands and they are rarely used since most battles have little mana to use, so in the future it may be a great skill.

His third skill is Inspire and it makes all your melee cards on the field get +1 attack while Chaos Knight is on the field, so it's a great skill to increase the attack of your cards and this will be very useful in battles as damage dealt is one of the main ways to win the battle.

CARDS

As a summoner I chose Tyrus Paladium which is an excellent summoner of the life deck and it grants +1 shield to all allied cards so its usefulness in battle will be very great since the shield is one of the main defenses against melee attacks and ranged.

In the first position I put Chaos Knight because it is the position in which he can attack as I mentioned before and also because he is an excellent card for defense, have no doubt that your opponent will have difficulty defeating him.

In the second position I put the Luminous Eagle which is a melee card that attacks in the second position and also because it has the Fly skill that increases your chances of dodging melee and ranged attacks so it will be a good defense for your cards, in addition it It has a lot of speed and attack so it's quite useful.

In third position we have Feral Spirit which is a melee card with the Sneak skill and makes him attack enemy cards in the last position so it is an interesting and useful skill, in addition Feral Spirit has a lot of speed so it will be one of the first cards to be played attack.

In fourth position we have Stitch Leech which is also a melee card that has the Sneak ability but it has little speed, but in compensation its attack is high.

In the fifth position we have the Time Mage which is a magic card that has the ability Slow so it will reduce the speed of all enemy cards by 1 and this is very useful because it can make your cards attack first and defeat enemy cards before they have the chance to attack.

And in sixth position we have Peacebringer which is a ranged card and its function will only be to deal damage since it has no abilities, but its attack is high and its mana cost is low so it's a good card.

BATTLE

In this battle my opponent used summoner Thaddius Brood and he takes 1 magic attack from my cards and 1 life, so Time Mage will be more affected in this battle, in addition all his cards are melee and ranged so my summoner Tyrus Paladium will be of great importance as it gives +1 shield to my cards.

In the first round the focus was on dealing damage so no cards were defeated on either side, but most of my cards still have shields so they are still well protected.

In the second round both cards that were in the first position were defeated so it became a 5 vs 5 battle and I still have a shield on most cards.

In the third round the enemy cards were being defeated 1 by 1 and he couldn't defeat any more of my cards.

In the fourth round he missed the position of one of his cards because he put a ranged card in front of a melee and this greatly damaged the battle for his side and only 2 cards were left in his field after that round.

In the fifth round he still managed to defeat a card from me but he also had his defeat and in the sixth round he was defeated and the victory of the battle was mine.

Chaos Knights are most often found at the front line of the Chaos Legion's invading forces, although they are sometimes enlisted to defend garrisons, leadership, and other high-value assets. They are heavily armored and wield massive battle axes that are able to cut down even the mightiest of foes.
Those of the Order of the Silver Shield stood waiting as the Legion of Chaos closed the distance between the two armies. The Shieldbearers in the front rank planted their shields firmly in the earth and set their feet, while archers and mages readied their bows and their spells. Those wielding melee weapons tightened their grips on their hafts and hilts, ready to charge once the Shieldbearers had born the brunt of the initial assault.

At the head of the column opposite them, Chaos Knights led the charge, the throng behind them screaming and jostling to be the first into battle. The heavily armored knights hefted battle axes that were impossibly large, and those of the Order of the Silver Shield eyed them warily.

Arrows flew. Spells were flung. At last, the two armies met, clashing together with a violent ringing of steel on steel. The Shieldbearers leaned into their shields, preparing to give those in the rear as much time as possible to inflict their lethal ranged damage. But when the Chaos Knights swung their mighty battle axes, the Shieldbearers could not hold the line. They staggered backward. Another swing, and the Order's front rank broke.

Then the Legions of Chaos swarmed over them.
