😊Hello There!
Another splinter-week has begun, and we have been assigned the theme card 🛡CRYPT BEETLE🛡 for this week's battle. There's a lot more to this death monster than meets the eye, and I'll explain why. But first, if you want to take part in Splinterlands' weekly battle, simply go to 👉SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! CRYPT BEETLE.

🛡CRYPT BEETLE🛡 is a common rare that has the SHIELD ability from level 1 to level 10, with a speed of 2 at level 2. This card however, even In higher league battles like the silver league, doesn't gain any extra, but at Level 10, it's gains 3-range, 4-shield and 5-health but it's speed remains same.

🛡CRYPT BEETLE🛡 has a decent mana cap of 3, which is great for low mana battles and that's fascinating because it's rare to see monsters with the shield ability at such low mana cost.

The 🛡CRYPT BEETLE🛡 is a melee attack monster and this obviously tells us that it doesn't have a huge tank, hence not best for front-line. Because of it's "Shield" ability though, I think you could place it in second position, but I'd hate to expose it that soon, so i 3rd or 4th is okay. But all this depends on the battle MANA CAP.
It's 2-point Speed is an important factor and this determines the winner and the loser in battle.

To make good use of the card, you'll need to level it up. At Level 1-2, this monster not only has the shield ability, but it also carries a shield that protects it from melee and ranged attacks. You'll be lucky to fight an enemy who doesn't use magical attack monsters, because 🛡CRYPT BEETLE🛡 will be difficult to kill, a good distraction for you to take full control of the battle and win 80% the chance⚔️.

This was a decent 20 mana cap battle, I used the Legendary CRYPT MANCER as my summoner that weakens my enemies lineup by deducting a -1 range, -1speed and -1 health to my enemies at start of battle. It was a standard game having no changes to the ruleset and every type of splinter was allowed in the battle.

⚔️ TEAM LINE-UP ⚔️

BUFFSUMMONERELEMENT
-1 Ranged, -1 Speed and -1 HealthCrypt Mancer.pngDeath
STRATEGY:

I enjoy playing the Death Element, so I had a lot of fun using this fantastic summoner, CRYPT MANCER. It has an intriguing lore, and what makes it great is its ability. For this battle with a melee attack monster, I needed to disarmer the enemy at the start of the battle.

There is the daring WAKA SPIRITBLADE summoner, but he is only available at level 4. This is the second best low mana death summoner, but I don't own him because he's quite expensive (market price 300$-3500$), so I rented him.

POSITIONCARDABILITY
Front-lineCursed Windeku.pngThorns
STRATEGY:

As always, I don't like taking chances in battle by underestimating my enemy, so i make sure to set my best front line on this one. The wicked CURSED WINDEKU, a 6-mana point card with 2-melee attacks, 3-speed points, no shield, and 10-health. The CURSED WINDEKU possesses a much needed ability. When the thorn ability is used and the attacker is hit with a melee attack, the attacker takes damage.

POSITIONCARDABILITY
Second-lineDeath Elemental.pngSnipe
STRATEGY:

Then next comes DEATH ELEMENTAL, a 3 mana cost snipe ability monster that comes in handy in this battle to target enemy monsters with ranged or magic attacks, as well as those with no attacks but not front-liners.

POSITIONCARDABILITY
Third-lineCrypt Beetle.pngShield
STRATEGY:

Next came the card of the moment 🛡CRYPT BEETLE🛡. Already introduced and placed him in third as a distraction for my enemy so that at their weakest, it will strike hard.

POSITIONCARDABILITY
Fourth-lineUndead Priest.pngWeaken
STRATEGY:

On my fourth position, UNDEAD PRIEST, it is my first time using this card, but the stats got me curious and glad i involved him in this battle. It's another fantastic card because along side the summoner, it also weakens by reducing the health of enemy monsters. Talk of "THE MUMMY😆"

POSITIONCARDABILITY
Fifth-lineFurious Chicken.pngno-ability
STRATEGY:

This Card for some reason got me curious because anytime i faced a battle with it in my enemy's lineup, i quickly give up, cause i know i have lost and surely so😁. So this time around, i thought to have it in my line up, quiet pricey for a 0 mana cost card, it's excellent.

POSITIONCARDABILITY
sixth-lineCarrion Shade.pngno-ability
STRATEGY:

The first thing that amazes you about CARRION SHADE, and maybe the card's value, is that it just costs a single point of mana, making it useful as a little tank to take the initial enemy hit or as a late card to shield the star. A monster you can have in your deck without any problem.

As you can see from my lineup, I attempted to provide a balance and focused more on weakening my enemy's monsters. Without further ado, let us now enter the battleground.

DO I LIKE THIS MONSTER AND WHAT I WOULD'VE DONE DIFFERENTLY?

I can't say for sure whether i do like like this monster card 🛡CRYPT BEETLE🛡. Normally, one would simply ignore cards like these. However, even at level 1, this card begins with an ability. That's already a slam dunk. This only demonstrates that if you play the death splinter, it is a card to have and keep for lower leagues.
The battle was exciting to watch and I will keep seeking more ways to engage the 🛡CRYPT BEETLE🛡 Monster and also upgrade it to level 10 for the extra Health, Ranged and speed it offers.

DID MY STRATEGY WORK?

Yes, my strategy worked very well. It was a good lineup and strategy for mid-mana battles and even low-ranged such as this one⚔️

🛡CRYPT BEETLE🛡 is no doubt a decent card, Though in my honest opinion, I don't recommend using this card in higher league battles at all; as it's not that powerful and there are plenty of other better options.
