Good morning lads! let's go back to talking about the monsters of the magical world of Splinterlands.
We've been skipping this appointment for a while and then let's try to resume this series too, my period of preventive quarantine allows me to dedicate a little more time to these things and if, on the one hand, the quarantine is a pain in the ass, on the other it allows me to do a lot of my stuff here on the web.
Today we leave for MORTIS the island of the DEATH element and we are talking about a monster that has never given me much satisfaction but it is right to talk about everything both about what you like and what you like less.
I don't often use the monster in the subject I never use it and I tried a few games just to be able to have clearer ideas about the pros and cons of this card and against I found several while pros ... how to say very few the I would almost define a useless card, always based on the level of my card that is level one.
But after this introduction let's dive into the description by analyzing it together and testing it in battle, I anticipate that in the battle it has somewhat confirmed my impressions.
Today we talk about:
ANIMATED CORPSE
This character belongs to the ALPHA / BETA edition, is a common card of the DEATH element but can also be used by DRAGONS.
He has a MELEE attack and can evolve up to level ten with a maximum of one skill.
The minimum price of him at level one is $ 1.89 and reaches nearly $ 1400 at maximum level, numbers taken as I write this post.
ANIMATED CORPSE has a MANA cost of four, medium-high cost but hardly seen in battle especially at low levels.
Its MAna cost makes it preferable to other stronger monsters such as HAUNTED SPIRIT which costs only one more MANA but already has the HEAL skill from the base level.
At level one he has attack two and can increase to four if raised to level nine.
The speed starts from one, very low speed, reaches a maximum of three at level five then remains the same for all the remaining levels.
He has no armour and a positive note is his life that starts from six, medium-high waist, and reaches nine at its maximum evolution.
ANIMATED CORPSE does not have skills up to level three, the first comes from level four and is VOID, this power allows the monster to reduce the power of magical attacks received.
Let's try this monster in action in a, hopefully, epic match :) !!
LEEET'S GOOOO!
RULESETS:
STANDARD: No changes to Rulesets in-game.
MANA: 21
SUMMONER DEPLOYMENT:
For this match, I chose the DEATH element, a natural element of our challenge monster.
I have set up the Summoner CONTESSA L'AMENT RARE card with a MANA cost of three, this card has the power to reduce the RANGED attack of the opposing cards by one.
In this game, it was not very useful as the enemy only had one card with RANGED attack and it was one and it is not possible to bring the attack to zero.
My opponent opted for the LIFE element by deploying the Summoner MOTHER KHALA card RARE with a Mana cost of three.
This card has the power to increase the life of all friendly cards by one.
Above we can see the basic starting of the cards while below with the activation of the Summoner's powers.
DEPLOYING THE MONSTERS:
For this game I decided to deploy two Tanks the first in the front line is the HAUNTED SPIRIT, RARE card with a MANA cost of five, it has attack two and an average high life of seven but its power is helped above all by its HEAL ability which allows it to heal himself at every turn.
The second Tank is our ANIMATED CORPSE challenge card, I chose to insert it as the second in case HAUNTED SPIRIT there was an untimely death of HAUNTED SPIRIT.
From the second position he will not be able to attack since he does not have any skills that allow it, he just has to wait for his turn.
In the third row I inserted TWISTED JESTER RARE card with a MANA cost of four, it has a RANGED attack and the SNIPE ability, this power means that the monsters targeted by TWISTED JESTER are those with the MAGIC attack, RANGED or without attack that is not found in the front row.
In the last position I inserted another card with attack RANGED or DARK ASTRONOMER RARE card with a MANA cost of four, it has no ability only its attack of two and its life of four.
My opponent has a big, big Tank SHIELDBEARER RARE card with a MANA cost of eight in the front row.
It possesses life and armour as if it rained nine life and four shields and an attack of two respectively, has the power TAUNT ability that draws all enemy attacks on itself.
In the second position he inserted the TRUTHSPEAKER RARE card with a MANA cost of three, he does not have any type of attack but has the PROTECT ability which increases the armour of all friendly cards by two.
IN the third row he inserted the CAVE SLUG common card with a MANA cost of five, this monster has a MELEE attack but has the OPPORTUNITY power that allows it to attack from any position targeting the card with less life.
In the last row, he then deployed HERBALIST common card with a MANA cost of two, has RANGED attack and no abilities, I think the choice of this card is due to its low mana cost.
It took ten rounds to win the game, the power of HAUNTED SPIRIT was key to the fight as it absorbed a lot of blows and continued to heal every turn.
Our Zombie has been watching from his position without taking damage and without attacking.

CONSIDERATIONS
I never had much faith in this monster and deploying him as a tank in the front row is always suicide, even in this game if I had put him as a front it would have been lost because of his low attack, his lack of ability above all make him a perfect suicide as the description says.
I don't think I'm upgrading this card, for now, other cards with equal mana are stronger at both base level and upgraded.
If you haven't tried this game yet my advice is to do it this is my referral link you can use the link if you like it or not but the point is always the one game to try! :-)
