SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! HARKLAW

This post is an entry to the SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge!

Overview

It is a very good death card against melee and ranged attackers. The only weakness of the card is the magic, but decent health can help even this.

Stats

Abilities	Level	Description
SHIELD	1	Reduced damage from Melee and Ranged attacks
IMMUNITY	2	This monster is immune to negative status effects
DEMORALIZE	3	Reduces the Melee attack of all enemy Monsters

Market prices

It is a cheap legendary card. You can get a Max version for half of the gold foil price. No question what should you buy :)

It is renting for around 15% which is not bad for a reward card.

The Battle

Battle Rulesets	Description	Info
EQUALIZER	The initial Health of all Monsters is equal to that of the Monster on either team with the highest base Health.	Don't use high HP monsters and focus on high damage. Try to use a lot of monsters as well. Having a Tank Heal, Thorns, Triage for defense helps a lot.
UP CLOSE & PERSONAL	Only Monsters with Melee attack may be used in battles.	Choose a summoner that increases/reduces Melee attack or Mylor. Keep a monster with Shield, Retaliate or Thorns in the first position. Reach, Sneak, Opportunity help in this ruleset.
NOXIOUS FUMES	All Monsters start the battle Poisoned.	Higher HP and cleanse are the best choise. However there may be some cases where you go for a big offensive attack and wipe out your opponent before the poison becomes a factor.

Lineup

It was a Melee-only, poisoned game. So this is the perfect game for the Harklaw. (My enemy is thought that too)

Card	Strategy
	Quix the Devious - My only available max level dragon summoner, I only benefit from the speed negative effect, maybe Lux would be a better choice next time, but I want to use some of my strong dragon monsters.
	Djinn Chwala - Ideal fit for this game. Thorns ability can cause trouble in enemy teams.
	Carnage Titan - Almost ideal monster for this game, shield and double strike very good for this game and the reach made him an ideal backline tank.
	Harklaw - Monster of the week. This was the perfect game for it.
	Disintegrator - My other demoralize monster of the game, with this -2 damage my shield monster almost not got any damage (until poison kill my team.)
	Venator Kinjo - Low mana cost and immunity made him a good choice for this game.
	Corpse Fiend - Filler of the game, I had no mana left, so I put it in my team.

Battle - Replay

Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?

No. I had around 20% winning chance, the enemy Cursed Windeku was a very good choice.

Sometimes, only a little change can help a lot. If I change the position of Harklaw and Disintegrator I could have more than a 50%+ win chance. Harklaw survives more sneak attack and that could change the game.

Battle Results

Do you like HARKLAW? Why or why not?

Yes. It is one of my max-level legendary cards and can be a very good fit in anti-magic matches. I used it a lot.
