Splinterlands Share Your Weekly Battle Challenge: Dhampir Stalker!!

Edited using canva

It’s that time of the week again! Fellow Splinterlands lovers and gamers. This weeks theme card is THE DHAMPIR STALKER. A card I would’ve sworn that I didn’t have until I looked closely. This card is under the death splint and although it’s not my favorite splint I’m sure I’ve had a few battles with it using the card. The only issue is that I never bothered to check the names of cards I use before battles.

THE DHAMPIR STALKER

A person that’s Half-vampire, the Dhampir are faster and stronger than normal humans. Most have taken to a mercenary lifestyle, never quite welcome with either vampires or humans. The Stalker is adept at tracking their prey, then dispatching the target with a silent and perfectly-placed arrow from the shadows.

STATS OF THE CARD

MY STRATEGY/ LINEUP

Mana Cap Given = 22
Battle Rules = Standard

My Splint	Enemy’s Splint
Death	Death

Let’s go get my team ready!!

Summoner

Name	Contessa L’ament
Mana Cost	Three
Edition	Untamed
Splint	Death
Rarity	Rare (Blue)
Buff	-1 Ranged Attack

I actually went for this card because I was trying to manage my mana cap. I just hoped that my enemy would have at least one card with a ranged attack so my summoner could help destabilize it a bit.

Monster 1

Name	Cursed Windeku
Mana Cost	Six
Edition	Chaos Legion
Splint	Death
Rarity	Rare (Blue)
Speed	x3
Attack	x2 Melee Attack
Health	Nine
Ability	Thorns

This was my first monster solely because of its ability which would help reduce my enemy’s health points even after striking me.

Monster 2

Name	Dhampir Stalker
Mana Cost	Seven
Edition	Chaos Legion
Splint	Death
Rarity	Rare (Blue)
Speed	x2
Attack	x3 Ranged Attack
Health	Five
Ability	True Strike

Asides being this weeks theme card, this is a pretty awesome card. I liked the fact I had a ranged attack along with my melee attack.

Monster 3

Name	Silent Sha-Vi
Mana Cost	Five
Edition	Chaos Legion
Splint	Death
Rarity	Common (Grey)
Speed	x3
Attack	x2
Health	Five
Ability	Sneak

This choice was solely influenced by the cards speed and its sneak ability to help get rid of my enemy’s weaker cards.

Monster 4

Name	Carrion Shade
Mana cost	One
Edition	Chaos Legion
Splint	Death
Rarity	Common (Grey)
Speed	x2
Attack	x1 Melee Attack
Health	Two

With just one mana cap left. I weighed my options from the cards that cost just one mana cap and this was my pick.

My team was ready now. Time for battle!

THE BATTLE

Enemy’s Lineup

Summoner	Thaddius Brood
First Monster	Cursed Windeku
Second Monster	Silent Sha-Vi
Third Monster	Life Sapper
Fourth Monster	Soul Strangler

This was quite a shock to me. We both had two cards that were the same! Oh well we’ll see who has a better team and strategy.

Let the battle commence!

Round One

• Contessa L’ament removes -1 ranged attack from Soul Strangler
• Thaddius Brood removes -1 health from all my cards
• Cursed Windeku (Enemy) hits Cursed Windeku (Mine) and removes two health points
• Cursed Windeku (Mine) uses its thorn ability to removes two health points from Cursed Windeku (Enemy)
• Cursed Windeku (Mine) hits Cursed Windeku (Enemy) and removes two health points
• Cursed Windeku (Enemy) uses its thorn ability to remove two health points from Cursed Windeku (Mine)

This is so annoying and confusing I know 😅

• Silent Sha-Vi (Enemy) hits Carrion Shade and removes two health points which kills the card
• Silent Sha-Vi (Mine) hits Soul Strangler and removes two health points which kills the card
• Life Sapper blasts Cursed Windeku (mine) and removes one health point

• But before my cards demise,it removes two health points from Silent Sha-Vi (Enemy) with its thorns ability
