Social Media Challenge: Share your battle! Plus a giveaway

avatar

Since this week's theme for Splinterland's Social Media Challenge is a fun one, decided to merge it with my usual giveaway; the theme? Share Your Battle!

And I decided to feature one of my favourite battles this season: Fire Vs Dragon.

Three rulesets for this battle:



Fog of war meant that every card would attack the tank, and the cripple ability would make it harder for the tank to survive for long, especially being heavy hitted. So since it was a high mana match (53), I opted to use a very handy summoner in this ruleset: Jacek, that gives scattershot to every ranged unit, allowing me to target the backline of the other team, and maybe cause some early kills.

Here's my lineup:

  • Grum as tank, the void armor gave it more chances to stay alive
  • Tinderlock in the second position, the silence ability would reduce magical attack of the other team, can also strike for first position and has high health
  • Phoenix in the third position, the blast ability does wonders in scattershot.
  • Beetle queen, the healer with the added bonus of a melee buff
  • Fire elemental, a good damage dealer with blast and affliction
  • Countess Sinash, same as fire elemental and with a speed bonus.

The main problem with scattershot strategies, is that some luck is also needed!

My opponent had a strong lineup, and a dragon with scattershot ability too.

By mid round two, I had already lost my healer, but thanks to the blast ability I manage to take down their triage healer and Brightwing at the same time, negating the resurrect ability. Yet, the battle was firece and outcome still very uncertain at this point.

Countess sinash is out at the the third round, and my phoenix only had 2 health. And then... my Tinderlock gets a bonus I rarely see:

Last Stand Ability kicks in! So although outnumbered, the bonus on attack, speed and health were enough to secure a very very tight win! You can see the entire battle here!

You can see why I enjoyed this battle, right? :) Lady luck hasn't been on my side in this season start, so this win felt great.

And now, off to the giveaway!

That IS a great win! I personally haven't used Tinderlock much, because I've always struggled with him. His Close Range ability suggests he should be near the front of the team, but the Last Stand ability means you'd want him near the back... so you really had the best of both worlds here! Well done!

Sometimes I forget that some cards even have Last Stand because it comes up so rarely, and then I'm super shocked to see them grab a great win.

I got lucky here as well, chose him mainly for the high HP and the silence; I have the same problem you do, I didn't even remember about the last stand until I saw it kick in!

PS. I thought you had me there; soooooo close! ;) Well played! !BEER

Hahaha, I was so engrossed in that game that I didn't even realise it was you until I left the battle screen... which made me even more furious that it was so close, haha.

Sign me up for give away. Nice battle I love blast ability with anything that targets off the tank like scatter or opportunity. I go with Ruler of the Sea, Flagulon Reine and Riverboat Captain together when I can. Laststand can be a game winner when it works. I like Kron the Undying when I can make him work.

Riverboat captain is one of the cards that frustrates me, the rng gods don't want anything to do with me and it rarely drops! :) That's a really cool setup for the water team. !BEER
