Lately, beside the weekly challenge initiative, we had a lot of good news related to Splinterlands. We had all the Lands and the Untamed packs sold, so finally you can make some profit if you manage to keep some of them for later sale. But do not do it right now, there is a chance they will be worth even more once the Lands are operational. Unless is becoming too complicated.
On this week challenge we have something different, instead of a monster, we got a skill, and the lottery brought us the Scavenger ability. So, I can count 9 monsters with Scavenger skills, and here it is a list of them and at what level the skill is activated:
Ant Miner - Level 1
Feasting Seaweed - Level 6
Screeching Vulture - Level 6
Cave Slug - Level 6
Maggots - Level 6
Dark Ha'on - Level 2
Parasitic Growth - Level 6
Gelatinous Cube - Level 1
Now, Scavenger is very useful in certain rulesets, like Fog of War, where you can use them for the 5th and 6th position, or one with plenty of deaths, like Earthquake or Poison, where I use them on the 4th and 5th position. I usually use the one from the splinter I play, and the Parasitic Growth, you can even up the scales with the Cube if you can afford it. The can be useful even in the Little league ruleset sometimes
So, for the challenge, this were the starting conditions:
Mana Limit: 46
Rulesets: Little League - all monsters and summoners need to cost under 4 Mana
Teams:
Mine - Summoner: Daria Dragonscale (+1 Melee Damage), Crystal Jaguar as tank for its return damage, Horny Toad to Poison the enemy tank, Manticore as back-up Reach user, and for damage I had Parasitic Growth with Scavenger and 2 Ranged damage units, Fire Spitter and Peacebringer.
Opponent - Summoner: Mylor Crowling (all units return melee damage), Failed summoner as its only tank, even if it has Thorns and Magic reflect, lucky me, I did not had any magic user, then Magi of the forest for heavy magic damage, Goblin Thief to strike on my back, Nymph for heal, Khmer Princess and Child of the Forest for some extra kick.
I must to admit, at first I thought this game is lost, but then there is always some randomness, mostly against me. His Failed Summoner fell in the second round, followed by his Khmer Princess and Magi and my Jaguar. Not a bad second round. In the third one all they could kill was my Toad, and in the fourth round I manage to get rid of his last three monsters. A close fight, at least at the beginning, and my Parasitic Growth manage to finish the game with 5 Health, despite the melee return damage boost of the opponent.
Star of the game?
And with this, I stop here for the moment.
All the best,
George
