Slow and steady wins the race - The Cave Slug (A Splinterlands battle challenge)


What is Splinterlands? 

Splinterlands is a card game, similar with Hearthstone, where you can play battle against other players to get a better rank or in tournaments. It is a NFT game based on Hive Blockchain, but the crypto rewards (DEC is the name of their native token) can be used on ETH, TRX, WAX and on the lately added Binance Smart Chain (you can provide liquidity to mine CUB on Cub Finance). You can also provide liquidity on ETH network, but this is a bit more expensive, even if you get some Uniswap bonus in DEC paid straight to your game account (I got 3-4000 DEC monthly with around 60K DEC providing liquidity). DEC is similar with a stablecoin, most of the time, 1000 DEC being $1.

And now it is easier than before (one of my main complain was about beginners not having enough cards at the start) because they offer quite a lot of cards not to the one starting to play, making it a more pleasant experience - I remember losing game after game when I just started 7 month ago, so I am glad that the developers sorted this out. There is an airdrop daily, for a whole year, currently at day 7/365, i think, and you can still get some nice governance tokens just by playing the game for the next year. Everything counts, cards, DEC on HIVE, WAX, ETH and BSC, lands, titles, skins. You can maximize the airdrop by staking all you SPS for a 400% APY right now. You can rent your big good cards now, so extra DEC is coming. All lands were sold out. Just check this awesome page about what are the Lands supposed to do.

The Cave Slug is a Common Untamed Life splinter monster, a bit costly to play at 5 Mana, but it can offer 4 Melee Damage, and 6 Health, with a very slow 2 Speed. Got Opportunity skill at level 1 ( Targets monster with lowest health, useful to clean the low life ones on the back), Scavenger at level 6 ( Health bonus +1 for every monster that dies) and Slow at max level 10 (Decrease Speed by 1). It is useful to play on some rulesets like Equalizer, if you got Scavenger unlocked, or Poison/Earthquake, as the 5 Health is decent for a Scavenger.

So, for the challenge, this were the starting conditions:

Mana Limit: 18

Rulesets: Unprotected (No Armor boost or stack) and Equalizer (All monsters have the highest Health possible)

Teams:

Mine - Summoner: Daria Dragonscale for the +1 Melee Attack boost, Furious Chicken and Silvershield Bard for 1 Mana cost per two tanks, thanks to Equalizer, Cave Slug for opportunity damage on the back lines, Evangelist for a nice 4 Ranged Damage and Inspire (Another +1 Melee Damage boost) and just for the remaining 2 Mana, the Silvershield Archer for Snipe (Attacking the Mage and Rangers) and Double Strike.

Opponent - Summoner: for main tank, Undead Rex, with Trample, Corupted Pegasus with Reach to attack from second position, Tank Heal, +1 Health boost and Flight (Avoid melee and ranged damage). , with 9 Melee damage from just these two tanks. Next was just fodder, Cursed Slimeball with Redemption ( 1 Damage to all when dies) and Furious Chicken.

My Chicked died first, followed promptly by his Chicken, then my Silvershield Bard, and finally his Undead Rexx, and with it most of his firepower. Without being able to do a lot of damage, the opponent quickly lost his two remaining cards (Pegasus and Slimeball).

Star of the game? Ironically, the Cave Slug, as it did most of the damage and resisted to quite few serious hits, thanks to its Scavenger ability.

On the side note, my continuous support for Splintertalk.io is going well, with my SPT tokens number raising at almost a million. 990K of my target of 1000K reached and hopefully the 1 million will be done in one or two weeks. A bit difficult now as the price went up a lot. All of it is delegated to @monster-curator, as this account is doing a great work curating the best posts on the forum. bottom spt.png



All the best,
