Splinterlands Weekly Challenge! Rise of a Shadow Scout/Spy?
Shadow Snitches are created by the conjurers of the Chaos Legion. Weaving Death magic, they breathe life into beings made completely of darkness. The purpose of the Shadow Snitches is to be deployed into lands prior to the Chaos Legion's invasion. Moving from shadow to shadow, they are listeners and watchers, feeding information back to the Chaos Legion.

Round 1 | Lineup
Splinter | Mana Cost | Position | Reason |
---|---|---|---|
Thaddius Brood | 4 | Summoner | High chance of opponent using Magic Damage |
Cursed Windeku | 6 | 1st | High hit points with thorn ability |
Shadow Snitch | 4 | 2nd | The last selected splinter, absolutely no idea why I choose this other than it’s even |
Furious Chicken | 0 | 3rd | Kentucky Fried Chicken |
Twisted Jester | 4 | 4th | My 2nd Best Damage Dealer with snipe |
Magi Necrosi | 6 | 5th | My Best Damage Dealer with snipe and camo! |
Total Mana: | 24 | Conclusion: should be do-able |
Looks dangerous at first glance, as he got a Goblin Psychic with Unicorn Mustang, but lucky I selected Thaddius Brood to counter his summoner! With my sniper(s), it should be fine if his healer goes down fast.
Round 2
Unicorn Mustang with fury is madness with 5 melee attack and 6 speed, with thorn only returning an upper limit of 2, hopefully, I don’t have any attacks that miss but sadly with Shadow Snitch at speed 1 ... it misses all the time. 😭
Round 3
And poor Shadow Snitch could only do is to take 1 hit from mustang, he’s totally useless in this match. The match ended with Shadow Snitch and furious fried chicken getting trash! Thanks to twister jester for not missing too much!
Conclusion
Instead of Shadow Snitch, I could have replaced it with Undead Badger and Undead Priest or Xenith Archer. With this Mustang will need 1 more round to even touch my Twisted Jester. This match did not do any justice to shadow snitch due to the fury ruleset.
Look forward to my 2nd post for this week's challenge as I dive deeper to see if there is a better alternative to Shadow Snitch or there’s a better strategy to fully utilize him.
