Welcome to my Gaming Space where I give detailed analysis of my Splinterlands Battle.

For this week we shall discuss the CRYPT BEETLE Monster.

I have a Gold foil CRYPT BEETLE Monster 🤩 Well, I use this Monster once in a while, because even with it's low stats, it's ability of Shield allows it to last longer as compared to Monsters of the same stats level with it.

Let's get into an in-depth analysis of this Monster and I will share a battle were I used it.

Edition: CHAOS LEGION

Rarity: COMMON

Element: DEATH

Attack: MELEE

Abilities: Shield

LORE

Any explorers that delve too deeply into the crypts, mausoleums, and necropolises of the world will find a foe they are unprepared for. Not undead, not liches, and not other monsters that can be found in the deep. Instead, tales are told of the crypt beetles. Enormous insects that are found feeding on the corpses within. Most explorers think they are a mere nuisance and will try to scare them away from whatever tomb they are choosing to rob.

But things don't end well for those explorers. These large beetles will defend themselves and their food aggressively. And any explorer that makes it back out alive will have impressive scars to show from the crypt beetle's bite.

MY STRATEGY AND LINE-UP


VideoCapture_20220428-072341.jpg

For my strategy, here are my Summoner and Monsters, and I'll tell you why I chose each Summoner and Monsters.

MY SUMMONER

Thaddius Brood

I chose Thaddius Brood to reduce the health and magic effect of my opponent.

MY MONSTERS

MEET MY MONSTERS

Monster NameImageReason for Choosing
Cursed WindekuEach time I play with the Death Splinter, I always choose the Cursed Windeku as my first position Monster. It has a good health and other good stats. But most importantly, it has the ability of Thorns. With this, it serves as an offensive and defensive Monster.
Elven DefenderI chose the Elven Defender as the second position Monster to replace the Cursed windeku if it is defeated. This is a very strong warlord 💪
Crypt BeetleThis is the theme best of the Week. It has got a low stat, but it's ability of Shield makes it last longer than other Monsters with the same low stats level as it. This is because it reduces the damage of Melee and range attack Monsters towards itself.
Silent Sha-viI love this monster and its sneak ability with its great health and other stats. I placed it here to lead the sneak force
Carrion ShadeI placed thos Monster here to fill up the space and to take an hit from my opponent's sneak or Opportunist Monsters, so that it doesn't affect my main team line up first. It is like a sacrificial lamb 😅😅

COMMENTARY AND SUMMARY ON THE BATTLE


I had to figure out and better outlook for sharing my battle. I believe this one looks better 🤩

ENTRANCE

Untitled 46_720p_1.gif

☆ I love this entrance way better 😁

RUMBLE

Untitled 46_720p_2.gif

At the beginning of the Battle, the following events happened:

☆ My opponent's Summoner, Obsidian, gave my opponent's team one magic attack effect to the Magic attack Monsters.

☆ My Monster, Thaddius Brood, subtracted one health from my opponent's Monsters.

THE BATTLE LASTED FOR 8 ROUNDS


ROUND ONE


Untitled 46_720p_3.gif

☆ In the first round, my my opponent lost his last Monster, Chaos agent.


ROUND TWO


Untitled 46_720p_4.gif

☆ Unfortunately for me, I lost my first Monster, Cursed Windeku. This was because my opponent had a tank heal Monster, Goblin Psychic. It continued to heal the first Monster, while the Ranged and magic Monsters kept damaging the Cursed Windeku till it lost its life.

☆ My team immediately overpowered the Goblin Psychic of my opponent's team to prevent it from causing more havoc.


ROUND THREE


Untitled 46_720p_5.gif

☆ It was a fierce battle and no life was lost. All Monsters gave in their best 💪


ROUND FOUR


Untitled 46_720p_6.gif

☆ Oh No! I lost my Elven Defender. At this point, I gave up on winning the battle 🤦‍♂️

☆ The Themed Monster of the week, Crypt Beetle, took the position of the first Monster and continued the battle.


ROUND FIVE


Untitled 46_720p_7.gif

☆ Although with its small Stats, the Crypt Beetle was able to withstand the attack of the Monsters of my Opponent's team even when all of them directed their attacks towards it.

☆ This was an opportunity for my Sneak Monster to deliver a fatal blow at my opponent's Monster Regal Peryton.


ROUND SIX


Untitled 46_720p_8.gif

☆ After holding up for long, the crypt Beetle lost its life.

☆ At this point, I was at the verge of losing hope one more time. However, I knew that if I can defeat the Unicorn Mustang of my opponent, then it's a win for me.


ROUND SEVEN


Untitled 46_720p_9.gif

☆ at the verge of giving up it's life, the Silent Sha-vi defeated the Unicorn Mustang.


ROUND EIGHT


Untitled 46_720p_10.gif

☆ The defeat of the Unicorn Mustang was the actual winning blow. This is because the Ranged Monsters don't attack close distance except when the rule of the Battle permits it.

☆ So I threw the final blow, and....


....I WON THE BATTLE!!!
