Stunned into Oblivion: Ambush + Stun + Poison Mayhem Crushes Maxed-Out Legends!

SULTRY BARMAID.

NEPHKET.

Good morning, warriors! 🔥

The season is almost over, and I’m determined to hit my target of 75,000 Glints before it ends! 🎯
Unlocking Diamond 3 wasn’t easy at all. The competition there is fierce — really strong players with high-quality cards. It was pure war! I even got pushed back down to Gold 1 at one point 😂. But I held on tight and refused to give up.
In a last-minute move, I rented Sultry Barmaid and that decision made all the difference. My 75,000 Glints is now guaranteed!

CURRENT DIAMOND 3 POSITION

50,000 GLINTS END OF SEASON REWARD LOADING AT 25 RANK IN THE LEADERBOARD.

Splinterlands is no walk in the park,but that's what amps up the excitement.A winning strategy weighs stats, abilities, rulesets, mana caps, and beyond. That's why you must factor them all into your deck building.Toss in strong cards to boost your setups, and push hard to rack up as many victories as possible! 🔥.

MY OPPONENT LINEUP ALMOST FULLY MAXED.

It is only strategy and good deck-building that can overcome them.
Apart from torrent sniper and night reaper,my opponent deck combo were fully maxed.This is a very strong, high-stat, versatile lineup with heavy hitters (Commander Slade and Night Reaper), with strong magic/support (Djinn Oshannus + Songale), and good utility (Torrent Sniper + Calamity).But my Ambush + Stun + Poison was just too much for my opponent to handle.

I had a unit with the Stun ability (Nephket) and another with Ambush (Warborn Shaman). I brought in Sultry Barmaid for support; she has both Ambush and Stun. It was a successful move — she helped me achieve my target by the end of the season. Let us go to the battlefield and see how it all played out.

I won't bore you with the lineups, but I will point out the devastating effect of the Stun ability. Those mighty monsters of valor from my opponent's deck were brought down before they had much time to act — it was brutal. Enjoy the view.

The total mana cost was 76 and you are to choose units from water, earth,life and dragon elements.The ruleset was;

Heavy Hitters:All units have knockout(deals double damage if the target is stunned).
Outsider: You can summon one wild unit.

Ambush Round,In this round the first monster to taste the stun venom was Songale,he was completely brutalized.Sultry Barmaid attack with stun,it was followed by warborn shaman with poison and finishing. Songale did not no what hit him.

Songale,Poisoned by Warborn Shaman, granted by Cryptic.

The -6 damage you are seeing on Songale was also from warborn shaman,You know why it was -6? Songale was still under the stun spell,so the rule (knockout)says, any monster under stun, gets double damage when receiving another hit and shaman magic attack was +3, making it +6 when attacking,since the victim is still under stun.

Round 1,scene 2.Still under stun,this time another attack from Captain Fellblade.

Round 1, Scene 3.Death of Songale

Round 1, Scene 15, the fully maxed Commander slade was next in line to taste Stun.And Sultry barmaid,did not disappoint in unleashing it.While Warborn shaman followed up as well (knockout). always look out for the stun symbol display on the face of the monster under attack.

Warborn shaman followed up with knockout

Round 1, Scene 20, Calamity in Stun dilemma.This time,executed by Nephket and with the follow up as well,since Nephket is a dual attack monster.

Follow up by Nephket

Round 1, Scene 23 Since Commander Slade was still under stun,Blue wrym travesty got its share, -14 damage was devastating.
Doomshield warden completed the kill It was devastating for Commander slade,he was not allowed to feel the battle.

Round 1, Scene 28,I lost my tank to Night Reaper.

Round 2,Scene 2, Death of Calamity,he was still under Stun and Captain Fellblade took him out.At this point,my deck was in control.
Calamity Out.

Round 3,Scene 2,Night Reaper and Torrent Sniper were eliminated by Blue wrym travesty and Captain Fellblade respectively.

**Round 3,Scene 4,this was the last stun scenerio,and it was carried out on the outsider brought in by my opponent the great Djinn Oshanus ,it was brutal as usual.
The End

Please take your time to watch the Replay

My Verdict
The Stun ability is a disrupter,my opponent deck could not operate despite his formidable combination of deck.When as a monster you are hit with stun you lose your turn to attack,until the stun spell is removed.It now look as if I was the only one attacking.And to top it,I had two monsters with the Stun ability.
