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. There are big changes and improvements coming soon, according to the Hive rumor mill. No more Mystery potions starting from June, also no more changing Alpha into Beta cards. Just check this awesome page about what are the Lands supposed to do.
On this week challenge we have a Common Alpha/Beta card from the Earth Splinter with 3 Melee Attack, 6 Health and 4 Speed at max level, Reach (Melee attack from second position) at Level 1, Piercing (Melee attack damage in excess of armor will damage its health) at Level 6. For a Max Level Beta card you need to pay $45 right now. Personally, I prefer to use the Horny Toad for its Reach, as the Poison is much more useful than the extra 2 Health.
So, for the challenge, this were the starting conditions:
Mana Limit: 17
Rulesets: Weak Magic (Magic will hit Armor first)
Teams:
Mine - Summoner: Wizard of Eastwood (Minus 2 Armor for opponent), Flesh Golem, Minotaur Warrior, Wood Nymph, Furious Chicken
Opponent - Summoner: Lyanna ( +1 Health boost ), Biceratops, Goblin Thief, Furious Chicken, Khmer Princess, Creeping Ooze, Earth Elemental
I used the golem as self-sustaining tank, with heal, supported by the Wood Nymph as extra healer, and Minotaur as back up, with its Reach ability. The Chicken was just fodder for the potential Sneak monsters.
His Goblin sneak on my Chicken, as planned, while my cards killed his main tank. Then his Goblin died, and my golem kept healing and doing the damage, supported by the Minotaur, as his magic and ranged damage was not enough to kill my main tank. I was lucky, with that goblin on the back, the opponent could have done some serious damage and even win. Positioning is always important.
On the side note, my continuous support for Splintertalk.io is going well, with my SPT tokens number raising a bit over half a million. 91% of my target reached and hopefully the 1 million will be done in few months. All of it is delegated to @monster-curator, as this account is doing a great work curating the best posts on the forum.
All the best,
George
