Splinterlands: Run🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️Soulstorm is Coming
(Edited)
Evening Splinterlands Fans
Time for the SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge.
This week battle challenge is about the dreadful wandering souls, called SOULSTORM
. SOULSTORM
is an epic death card with strong ranged attack. Once maxed, it is loaded with some awesome abilities, like Flying, Snare, Headwinds and Stun. It has low default health, but compensates that with it's lightning speed. Flying monsters like SOULSTORM
with speed of 5+ can be quite difficult to hit with ordinary ranged and melee monsters.
I own only Level-3 SOULSTORM
so I rented the maxed one for this Week's Battle challenge. And it proved its metal in my death battles. With the strong ranged attack, along with abilities like Snare, Headwinds and Stun, SOULSTORM
can be a real asset in one's ranks.
Currently there are 3,250 normal foil SOULSTORM
in circulation, costing 0.64$/BCX. Gold Foils are far less abundant(for obvious reasons), with a supply of only 168, trading at 8.35$/BCX.

for the last 30 days, courtesy SPLINTX. Note the spike in the price during current week, due to current weekly challenge. Once the Challenge is complete, the artificial inflation in price will surely subside.

SOULSTORM
can be used effectively in all type of battle rule sets, except Reverse Speed. Its utility increases many folds in Earthquake rule set, due to the Flying and Snare abilities.

SOULSTORM
can prove a substantial threat to the enemy. Some adjustments can keep it alive for as long as possible, inflicting more and more damage to enemy.

ARCHMAGE ARIUS
orSELENIA SKY
Summoner.SinceSOULSTORM
is inherently weak and has no shield by default, so giving it shield fromDRAKE OF ARNAK
(summoner) or from Protect ability is a nice play.Positive health attribute from Strengthen ability monsters is a nice ploy, asSOULSTORM
is inherently low on health.SOULSTORM
is lightning fast by default, so speed related attributes like Slow, Swiftness and Blind can make it even more difficult to target.Healing it by Triage ability can also work well.Defense
Being low on health, SOULSTORM attracts Opportunity monsters, so killing it with speed Opportunity monsters is pretty easy. Also being a Flying monster, it is always an easy target for Snare ability monsters.DRAGON JUMPER
is ideal for killingSOULSTORM
, since it has both Opportunity and Snare abilities with strong melee attack.MY BATTLE USING SOULSTRON
This was a 30 mana battle with two battle rules, Lost Legendaries and Close Range.Battle Link MY LINEUP
ZINTAR MORTALIS
ZINTAR MORTALIS
summoner(instead ofMIMOSA
).
UNDEAD REXX
Since legendary tanks were unavailable due to Lost Legendaries rule, so I usedUNDEAD REXX
. This was the 1st time I usedREXX
upfront as a tank and it didn't disappoint me at all. All the heavy melee attack with Trample ability can be quite destructive.
TWISTED JESTER
On one down position, came the Joker,TWISTED JESTER
.TWISTED JESTER
's high speed and attack, makes it a good one down option in Close Range rule set.
UNDEAD ARCHER
UNDEAD ARCHER
. It is always wise to include Affliction monster in your team, to counter the heavy healing tanks.
SOULSTORM
Next came the star of our show,SOULSTORM
. It's a shame that my summoner couldn't summon the maxed one, but still the level-5SOULSTORM
proved pretty destructive.
HAUNTED SPIDER
Then came another low mana monster,HAUNTED SPIDER
. The main attraction ofHAUNTED SPIDER
is its Poison ability, which has no remedy but Cleanse ability.
TOWER GRIFFIN
On the very last, I placed a neutral monster, TOWER GRIFFIN. The Protect ability can really strengthen the team and provide much needed cushion to weak monsters against opportunity attack.
BATTLE ANALYSIS
This was a fun battle. Almost all went by plan.
UNDEAD ARCHER
fell before it could apply Affliction. But still I managed to take out enemy Cube without Affliction, thanks to the heavy attack ofREXX
andSOULSTRORM
. The enemy made a mistake of placingSTONESPLITTER ORC
in the back ranks.My Final Opinion About SOULSTORM
SOULSTORM
once nearing Maximum can be a real killer in your ranks. But always remember to protect it by some shield.That will be all for today.
Take very good care of yourself and people close to you..
Until next time...
