Splinterlands: Beware Sea Contains Sea Monsters
Evening Splinterlands Fans
Time for the SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge.
This week's battle challenge is the heavy melee attack reward monster, SEA MONSTER
. SEA MONSTER
is one of my most favorite commons monsters due to its heavy attack and health. Adding to this it also have Healing ability right from lev-1 and gets Thorns ability at lev-6. SEA MONSTER
is a nice tanks option provided legendary tanks are unavailable.
Here is the amazing lore:
There are rumors of Sea Monsters that can swallow a ship whole. The truth is, there are Sea Monsters big enough to swallow the Sea Monster that swallowed the ship whole. Most land lubbers cannot conceive how deep within the planet or how far beyond the horizon the oceans go.
I own just lev-7 SEA MONSTER
, which is sufficient for me up till gold league.
Currently there are 84,554 normal foil SEA MONSTER
s in circulation, costing 0.028$/BCX. Gold Foil SEA MONSTER
s are less abundant with 2,685 in supply and costs 1.29$/BCX.
Here is the all time price trend of Alpha and Beta both Foils SEA MONSTER
, courtesy SPLINTX. Gold Foil Prices are staggering.
Favored Battle Rules
SEA MONSTER
is suited for all battle rules, but it is especially suited for Rise of the Commons and Up Close & Personal battle rulesets and Reverse Speed battle rule.
Placement
SEA MONSTER
is best suited upfront as a tank but it can also be used as a sneak protector in high mana battles.
How to Use
SEA MONSTER
can be complemented both by summoners and monsters.
LIR DEEPSWIMMER
summoner can decently complementSEA MONSTER
with +2 shield, Return Fire and Blind abilities. UsingSEA MONSTER
withARCHMAGE ARIUS
andDARIA DRAGONSCALE
summoners makes it even more lethal by +1 melee attack.
- Protecting
SEA MONSTER
with shield using summoners likeDRAKE OF ARNAK
, or Protect ability monsters makes it even more difficult to tackle.
- Positive health attribute from Strengthen ability can add to already heavy health of
SEA MONSTER
.
Defense
The best way to counter SEA MONSTER
is by using heavy magic attack. Killing it with melee attack is ill advised due to Thorns ability.
MY BATTLE USING SEA MONSTER
Battle Link
MY LINEUP
ALRIC STORMBRINGER
Due to low battle mana, I decided to go with Rare Beta Summoners. And since I was planning to use SEA MONSTER
, so I selected ALRIC STORMBRINGER
.
SEA MONSTER
Up front I placed SEA MONSTER
as tank, since CHAIN GOLEM
was unavailable due to Taking Sides ruleset.
RULER OF THE SEAS
On one down position, I placed the legendary magic attack monster, RULER OF THE SEAS
. ALRIC
can decently complement RULER OF THE SEAS
magic blast attack.
CRUSTACEAN KING
Next I placed the healer, CRUSTACEAN KING
. Despite my tank had its own healing, I used CRUSTACEAN KING
due to its Protect ability.
ALBATROSS
With one mana left, I placed ALBATROSS on the very last. I am planning on upgrading it to Lev-6 to have Tank Heal ability. Amazing to see single mana monster having Tanks Ability.
BATTLE ANALYSIS
This battle went as planned. SEA MONSTER
stood its ground pretty well. RULER OF THE SEAS
magic attack went also pretty good due to less chance of Magic Reflect since Taking Sides battle rule is in effect.
That will be all for today.
Take very good care of yourself and people close to you..
Until next time...
