~Lore of The Tenyii Striker~

Before we start taking about the battle, let's talk about the monster first. For those who loves a story, i bring you the lore of the Tenyii Striker

A dozen generations sandwiched between the hammer of the Khans' cruelty and the anvil of the icy foothills of Kurguzd forged the Tenyii into reclusive deadly foes. Brought to the training creche from birth, taught to steal for food, beaten when caught and trained daily with the sword and spear as soon as they were strong enough for their hands to lift steel, the Tenyii clan were hard as iron and as fierce and silent as midnight on the mountain glacier.

When the Legion's heralds demanded a sacrifice of flesh and gold to open the rifts to the ways beyond, the Khan sent five hundred waadin berserkers to bring the tribe to heel. When a single horse returned bearing a sack of fifty skulls, the Khan threatened to burn the entire mountain to the ground. A dozen Tenyii Strikers were sent as tribute to spare the tribes and to satisfy the herald's call.

Me and my enemy got a pretty similar lineup, but different lv of grum and put forgotten on the backline put me on an advantage situation. The buff from summoner also gave my team more advantage. Tenyii ended up slay 3 enemies backline monster and my team win the match.

Discuss About Tenyii Striker :


What i like about Tenyii Striker:
What i like about Tenyii Striker is the syncronize with fire summoner which giving melee attack boost. Tenyii also have pretty high damage with considerable low mana. He also had pretty good survival ability and stats with medium health, pretty high speed, and an evade ability.

What i don't like about Tenyii Striker :
He could be better if his speed is improved, because his speed right now is pretty high but not that high to evade most of the attack.

When to Use Tenyii Striker :
I suggest you to play this monster on medium high mana cap, when you think enemies would put their main hitter on backline. No armor ruleset would make him better. And this monster is a must use monster on melee ruleset because he got the sneak ability.

When to Avoid Tenyii Striker :
I don't recommend you to use this monster for high mana cap situation, because you can consider other monster with better stats and ability. You would rethink about using this monster when enemies got history of mylor or put thorn ability on backline.

Conclussion

Tenyii Striker got pretty good stats and ability with pretty low mana cost. He also got summoner that fit his ability. But on high mana cap, you would rethink about using this monster as there is other monster with better stats and ability. Keep looking on enemies history because if enemies got thorn ability on backline, it would be a backfire to you using this monster.

!1UP I usually use him in high mana games for lack of better cards, but I'm not so lucky with his Dodge so I should rethink those choices. But in medium mana games it becomes a great option. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us!
