Hi, fellow mages!

Here we are, in another battle challenge, this time with Earth Splinter and Regal Peryton. To be honest, Earth Splinter is my least favorite splinter and I play with it only when I have to and when there is a Reverse Speed ruleset. I am even thinking about selling all my Earth cards and investing in Water, Life, and Deat that I play the most. But that is maybe a story for another post.

Lore

They say there is nothing more beautiful than a Regal Peryton. They prefer to live in the mountains all across the Splinterlands, rarely seen by others. When they soar through the skies, the sunlight catches through their wings and creates rainbows underneath them. Regal Perytons are highly intelligent and consider themselves noble guardians of the natural world, using their magic to help others.

Rihue lay upon a rocky outcropping on the side of the mountain, shivering beneath an overcast sky. He stared at his ruined leg and his broken ankle.

He’d been hunting game and gathering fruits and berries for his wife and daughter who lived back home in their little cabin when he’d slipped and shattered his leg on the rocks. He’d shouted himself hoarse, but it was no use. No one could hear him. No one was coming.

That had been three days ago. His food and water were gone. He couldn’t make it back down the mountain on his own. He was going to die.

But then Rihue heard a call like that of a bird and saw a creature descending through the sky toward him. It had the head and body of a stag, with massive antlers upon its head, but instead of forelegs, two mighty wings grew from its shoulders. Its coat and feathers were white and shades of purple, and it was the most beautiful creature Rihue had ever seen.

The Regal Peryton landed beside him on the outcropping and regarding him with one intelligent eye. Then it lowered itself and, with a nod of its majestic head, extended a wing.

Rihue crawled toward it, up the wing and onto the creatures back. He clung tightly as it spread its wings and soared into the sky, down the mountain, and toward salvation.

About Regal Peryton

Regal Peryton is a simple but very viable monster. You can use it in a few ways. He is also a bit weird as it is very fast in otherwise really slow Earth Splinter. I often like to use him as an off-tank due to his high speed. I have Regal Peryton on level 4 where he has 6 speed and 2 magic attack. When combined with his Flying ability he could be quite evasive. But the Flying ability and some speed are not something on what you can count that would be enough to dodge some attacks. That is why I am not really excited about Regal Peryton, though it is not a bad card. You can often use him in the last spot in hope that he will dodge some sneak attackers, especially in the Bronze and Silver leagues where most monsters have a lower speed. He does not scale that well in the higher leagues.


Economy

At the time of writing this article, you can buy 1 BCX for 0.349 USD. It is one of the most expensive Chaos Legion Rare cards. That is mainly because it is really good in the Bronze and Silver leagues so many people want this guy in their teams. Level 3 is a sweet spot as it is there where he gets additional magic damage. That means you will have to give around 5.3 USD for a level 3 copy. If you don't know if he is worth that money, try to rent it for a few days and decide then if it fits your playstyle.


The Battle

As always I will not go through everything that happened in this battle. I will only explain why I picked certain monsters and what was the reasoning behind those decisions. I hope that this will help you in your future battles while using Regal Peryton. If you are interested in the battle you can check it out at the following link:

Monsters

Quix The Devious - My goal was to dodge enemy attacks. That is why I decided to go for Quix. His -1 speed is more than welcome in such strategies. Of course, I would like to use Kitty for such a strategy but it is a bit pricey for me to buy that beast or even to rent it.


Void Dragon - same as with Quix, Void Dragon is here to dodge some attacks. Good speed, Flying ability, and Phase mean Void Dragon has a good chance to evade melee, ranged, and magic attacks. Sometimes he seems like an underrated card and it is not used that much. Probably because there are better tanks in the game and in the Dragon splinter. Still, Void Dragon is an amazing tank, especially in the rulesets with lower mana caps. Also, Flying is the go-to ability when there is an Earthquake ruleset as this monster will not be affected by additional damage per turn.


Regal Peryton - the reasoning here was the same as with Void Dragon. Flying ability is here to avoid damage from the Earthquake ruleset and speed is here to evade as many attacks as possible. Regal Peryton is not able to evade magic attacks, but it is still an amazingly fast off-tank. He even managed to dodge an attack from Gargoya Devil, just as planned :)


Gargoya Devil - we could say that this is the main damage dealer in this team. Even with the debuff, 3 damage was enough to finish the enemy team. Flying ability gave me security that this monster won't is damaged by Earthquake and Regal Peryton in the second spot protected Gargoya Devil from potential Snipe attacks. It was perfectly covered from the enemy attacks and that is why it did its job as intended.


Naga Assasin - reward cards are just amazing and so is Naga Assasin. With amazing speed, Backfire and Swiftness abilities it is a perfect card for the last spot as it often evades enemy attacks. Even better it returns 2 damage to an attacker that missed. I picked this card because I didn't have more mana and because I wanted to boost my team's speed with my Swiftness ability. The downside is that Naga Assasin does not have the Flying ability which means it was damaged by Earthquake. Still, it did its job while it was on the field.

Summary

This was a good battle and a close one where we can see that it is important to choose monsters that are suited for the job. In this case, those were monsters with Flying abilities and high speed so I could attack before my opponent. Since I won, it seems that I had a good strategy. Regal Peryton was an important card in this setup as it performed as an off-tank and protection for the main damage dealer. Even though I am not a big fan of Earth Splinter and Regal Peryton it does not mean that this is a bad card. Matter of fact it is a really good card, and you can see that by its price. As I said, the price is slightly higher as Regal Perytone is good in the Bronze and Silver league. If you are planning to play in Gold and beyond I suggest that you rent this card and try it out first. There are many other cards in Earth Splinter that are better for off-tank or as an "evade" target. Let me know what you think about Regal Perytone.
