SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! SHADOW SNITCH

snitch battle.png

This weeks monster in focus is Shadow Snitch a melee monster under the death splinter. I own a lvl 4 version which has 2 melee, 2 speed and 6 HP. His ability at all lvl's is Reach which means he can attack from the second position in my team. I haven't really used this card alot before so let's see how it performs

Pre Battle Thoughts

Shadow Stitch's strengths are his reach ability and his high HP, so I wanted to use him as a secondary tank that would be able to not only deal some damage but survive a few hits if required

The Battle

Rulesets

holy-protection.pngtaking-sides.png

I like to really focus my attacks on a single target under the holy protection ruleset because I don't want to be wasting shots every round breaking the protection of multiple monsters. So for that reason I set up my team to only attack the main tank of my opponent, perfect for shadow snitch

Team Selection

Pre.JPG

My strategy going into the match was to focus all my attack on my opponents tanks so I selected 1 main tank and shadow snitch at the front end and high damage dealing monsters in my backline

hark.JPG

Harklaw was my main tank with the shield ability I'm hoping he can stick around for awhile

Shadow Snitch in the second position to make use of the reach ability and survive a few hits if Harklaw goes down

insid.JPG

In my backline I had Insidious Warlock, I was hoping because of its recharge ability by the time it could do some damage my other monsters would have removed my opponents holy protection and thus can do a big shot of damage

bones.JPG

Venari Bonesmith I like to hide in the backline of my team so it can use its life leech ability and gather HP throughout the battle

reaper.JPG

Grim Reaper I chose for his affliction ability because I was expecting my opponent to use a heal monster. The 3 range damage is also great

And finally Dhampir Stalker at the back with high HP and 3 range damage aswell its a really powerful back tank

Round 2

At the end of round 1 my strategy has been playing out perfectly, I managed to defeat my opponents main tank and also break the shield of his next monster up, while also having my entire team still alive

Round 3

My opponent managed to kill my Harklaw which brings shadow snitch into the main tank position which is what I wanted with his high HP i'm hoping he can survive long enough for my backline monsters to finish the job

round 3.JPG

Round 4

Shadow Snitch survived my opponents onslaught long enough so I could defeat my opponents Phantom Soldier and bring his Twisted Jester into the frontline making him useless now

round 4.JPG

Round 5

My shadow snitch finally went down but not before dealing out one finally shot of damage to my opponents Ancient Lich who is now on the verge of defeat

Round 5.JPG

Round 6

From here there is nothing more my opponent could do as my backline archers finished him off while my Bonesmith healed himself in the frontline

round 6.JPG

Final Thoughts

I think my strategy worked and shadow snitch was a good fit under these circumstances
It is an OK card one I wouldn't use every battle but under a select few rulesets e.g Little League, Reverse Speed I think he definitely could be of great use and really shine
