BATTLE CHALLENGE CRUEL SETHROPOD

avatar

Hello community, today's dinner could be grilled lobster, but no, it's just a weekly challenge from the Splinterlands game.
Cruel Sethropod is a very interesting card, despite not having abilities it is a very rigid card well protected with armor and health points considering the Mana it spends.

In low Mana battles this card is quite interesting to combine with Water Splinter, especially in view of the Little League rule set, taking into account that we can only use cards up to 4 Mana, Lost Magic, as it has a lot of armor, automatically the Melee and Ranged attacks have to hit the armor, combined with Repair skill and/or Demoralize / Headwinds makes it tricky to destroy Cruel Sethropod. And still has advantage before the Super Sneak rule set, combining in the last position, deals with the Melee attacks being able to support with some attacks besides also being able to attack.

For this battle we had Super Sneak and Close Range rulesets, with little Mana available, I thought it would be an opportunity to participate in this week's challenge and use Cruel Sethropod in this battle.
For this, I chose Kelya Frendul Summoner, increasing the speed of my cards and giving reinforcement to the armor.

So if the Melee attacks gained Sneak skill, it was important to protect the front line from Magic and Ranged attacks, for this I chose Djinn Oshannus who is an excellent leader with Void skill gave some security Magic attacks.
In the second position, Scavo Hireling despite not having any attack, his Repair skill gave some security to Djinn Oshannus against Ranged attacks or to my card in the last position protecting armor from suffered Sneak attacks.

By this point I had already spent enough Mana having only 5 available and I wanted to have a good card that protected me from Sneak attacks, so I chose in the third position, Ice Pixie that hit the opponent's tank and in the last position enters the card from the theme of this battle, Cruel Sethropod giving enough security in battle and could still cause damage even with reduced attack if the opponent did not have in the last position a card with Shield ability.

The opponent used a somewhat similar but also different strategy in the sense that he chose the best card as a tank, combining Ice Pixie which would not cause damage to my tank, Hardy Stonefish gaining Sneak ability would not cause much damage to my Cruel Sethropod card and combined Ranged attack cards which would not worry Djinn Oshannus because Scavo Hireling was around to help him.
My weak point in this strategy of mine would be Snipe attacks where I was not protected for that and could condition the course of the battle, but it would not be something to worry about now because the opponent did not choose those types of attacks.

Starting the battle, my main attacks were concentrated on the opponent's tank, being Magic attacks would directly hit his health, and without having combined Heal skill it would be quite easy to eliminate Serpent of Eld.
Djinn Oshannus gaining armor given by the Summoner's buff allows Serpent of Eld's attack to not hit his health, only Kulu Swimhunter causes damage but it was not worrying since Scavo Hireling was present in the battle.
Due to Djinn Oshannus' high speed, Xenith Archer misses his attack, thus making the battle quite accessible for my cards to come out winners of this battle.

At the beginning of the second round, the opponent loses his best card in the battle, and conditions his strategy because he is followed by cards with few health points, accessible to my Magic attacks, being always in advantage due to the combination of Scavo Hireling.
Even when your Ranged attack cards have Close Range ability, my Djinn Oshannus tank has enough health points for it to be eliminated in this battle.
And so the battle ends in the fourth round, having meanwhile in the third round Cruel Sethropod eliminated Xenith Archer, even though he has reduced attack, slowly he ends up helping in the battle eliminating opponents and not being eliminated, protecting the rest of my formation for this battle.

With this battle, I increased my rank by 16 points in Silver League II and won 2.404 dec, as you can see this battle belongs to the new rewards format and I had a 40% reduction in the allocation of dec won due to having used two starter cards, in which makes some difference in the gains and so it is important more and more to choose our own cards, buying cards to increase our collection, or renting for cards to avoid reduction of rewards.

Regarding the battle itself, my strategy worked as planned, the opponent took the opportunity to use cards favoring the rule set for this battle, and I taking this into account, I protected myself so as not to be surprised.
As I said before, I just didn't protect myself against Snipe attacks, but I didn't understand that to be the main focus for this battle.

Cruel Sethropod has importance in low Mana battles, sometimes it passes a little aside to choose because we tend to choose strong cards in attack, that can make a difference in battle, but it may not be the best card to attack, but it is undoubtedly a good card to defend, and the important thing is the combination we choose for each battle.
