Hi friends, the holidays are over and the free ride is over and let's focus on the magical world of Splinterlands.
YES it's been a while since we talked about monsters, these ugly and bad monsters that inhabit the islands of Splinterlands and so today we resume with our analysis of the pros and cons of these baddies but we will also try them in action to see how they work and if they are valid for a future upgrade.
Today we are talking about a monster that inhabits the abyss very very hungry able to hunt both under water but also above the water and therefore pay close attention with your boats should you happen on the island of AZMARE 'because this is precisely where we are, on the island of the WATER element.
This monster is not often seen around but when it is used it makes itself felt and there is to tremble because it is not said to be able to come out victorious from the battle.
Enough chatter and see firsthand who we are talking about and dealing with today, as written above we will talk about the pros and cons until you see him in action ... and when this monster in is in action there is only one thing that can be done. .. escape.
Equipped with four eyes he can control both the depths of the ocean and the sky hunting for anything edible, whether they are fish or flying dragons this monster has a powerful tail with which it can kill its prey.
The only safe place is the mainland and if you are not on this please express your last wish because the end is near.
WAVE RUNNER
This monstrous fish is part of the REWARD edition, it is a common card of the WATER element but can also be used by DRAGONS.
It has a MELEE attack and can be upgraded to level ten.
Beware of the RULESETs that do not allow the use of this card such as: KEEP YOUR DISTANCE which does not allow the use of monsters with MELEE attack, EVEN STEVENS which allows the use of only monsters with an even mana cost and LITTLE LEAGUE which allows the using cards with a mana cost of 4 or less.
WAVE RUNNER has a MANA cost of five and can be used as a TANK but also as a second TANK thanks to its ability.
At a basic level maybe it gets better but by strengthening it becomes a tough fish to kill.
WAVE RUNNER starts with attack two which at base level is a good attack and can be upgraded up to four at level ten on the card.
Equipped with a decent speed of three it becomes very fast already at level six reaching five-speed points
It has no shield and the life of the party is four, a medium-high life that increases with the levels of the monster reaching seven to level eight, a lot of life for this shark.
This card starts with the REACH ability, a power that allows this monster to attack from the second row despite having a MELEE attack.
At level five KNOCK OUT takes over, this ability deals double damage to stunned opposing cards, while at level nine a third SNARE ability comes into play, monsters hit by this power lose the FLYING ability.
We just have to see WAVE RUNNER in action
LEEET'S GOOOO!
RULESETS:

DEPLOYMENT:
For this game, I have chosen the WATER element home element of our Challenge monster and as Summoner I have deployed ALRIC STORMBRINGER RARE card from the cost in the mana of three that increases the power of the magic attack by one.
My opponent fought me with the EARTH element by fielding the Summoner LYANNA NATURA capable of increasing the life of allied cards by one.
In the first position, I inserted the SPINEBACK TURTLE common card of the WATER element with a mana cost of four, at the base level it has no abilities but has a decent life and two excellent shields to absorb some attack.
In the second row, I have inserted our WAVE RUNNER thanks to its ability already present at level one can attack from the second row despite having MELEE attack and can also pass as a TANK in the front row in case of death of SPINEBACK TURTLE.
In third position ALBATROSS common card with a mana cost of one, it has no attack or shield, it has only one life, I entered it to make my opponent lose an attack in case of cards with SNIPE.
Fourth, I placed MEDUSA RARE card with a mana cost of four, it has one magic attack that will be boosted to two by my Summoner.
In the fifth row, I inserted a NEUTRAL card with magic attack ELVEN MYSTIC is a RARE card with a mana cost of four.
This too, like MEDUSA, has a magical attack of one that will pass to two thanks to the Summoner.
In the last position, I inserted a WATER ELEMENTAL RARE card with a mana cost of five.
He has a RANGED attack and the HEAL ability that allows him to heal himself at every turn, excellent card for the team's bottom in case of cards with not too powerful SNEAKs will become difficult to take down.
My opponent has chosen ELVEN DEFENDER as TANK this card is NEUTRAL and has a mana cost of eight, has no abilities but has a large amount of life equal to eight and three shields, a monster that is difficult to take down.
In the second position, he inserted ORC SERGEANT common card with a mana cost of five, as WAVE RUNNER has the REACH ability and despite having attack MELEE will be able to attack from the second row.
In the third row, he has inserted a small wizard KHMER PRINCESS of the element EARTH RARE card with a mana cost of two.
He has no abilities and has a magic attack of one and life two.
My opponent also fielded ELVEN MYSTIC in the fourth position while in the last row he inserted CENTAUR NEUTRAL card with a cost of MANA four.
He possesses a RANGED attack and the SNIPE ability.
It took five rounds to win the game, WAVE RUNNER proved crucial to victory by taking down many opposing monsters, both from the rear and as a front-row TANK.

This card is certainly not one of my favourites and yet it always leaves its mark every time I happen to use it.
You don't see much in battle and I believe that, like me, many underestimate it, perhaps because at the base level there are cards that are better or that seem so.
Upgraded this card becomes power and I will certainly do so over time.
If you haven't tried this game yet my advice is to do it this is my link referral you can use the link if you like it or not but the point is always the one game to try! :-)
