Battle Overview

Lineup

Summoner

Chosen Kelya as the summoner because I wanted to use water splinters as most of them have higher speeds than the other splinters. One of the main reasons is this is a Back Basics match therefore nothing else matters other than the splinter speed. The faster it is, the likely chance of dodging is higher.

Why no Earth or Death which I have a higher level summoner? Their speed is lower and most of their melee comes with ability without those abilities there is kind of a softy or requires too much mana to be cost-effective.

Round 1

Okay so my opponent is using a level 2 Kelya oh no ... this isn't great he has a level 3 Cruel Sethropod and Kulu Swimhunter.

In terms of speed, most of his card out speed mine and him having Serpent of Eld allow him to have a higher ground than me.

Round 2

Okay sure I took down his Serpent of Eld before the start of round 2 but my diemonshark is already down by half of his effective health points

Round 3

Well I did manage to make his diemonshark down by half of its effective health points. Hopefully my strategy of having Angelic Mandarin to tank some damage works.

Round 4

And there goes my Cruel Lobster.

# Round 5

Well, that was fast ... Angelic Mandarin was gone in a round before his Cruel Sethropod. I guess the Angelic Mandarin didn't really do very well but heh it's better than nothing. Doesn't look good at this point.

Round 6

Okay, my deeplurker manages to tank a number of damage, but he definitely will not survive this round. With the armor on his remaining splinters, I just pray that my Igor will knock down the armor first before deeplurker do big damage.

Round 7

Okay at this point I knew I cock up. Face Palm oh great.

My battle in a nutshell

What I should have done

With this, I will have won this match ... Wasted. 😭

What so great about this lobster?
