Chaos Knight, Defending the Light

After a long streak of pitiful losses the other night, I decided to lay down my phone and stay away from playing Splinterlands for a while because I may have been suffering from unfortunate luck or I just have some bad juju.

I have just suffered some scams and a series of rugpulls lately so I can't really tolerate any more losses, of any kind. But I had to pick the game up again as soon as I read about this week's themed battles. It's a monster that I haven't really used before so, I thought that it's going to be a new experience.

This is my entry to this week's Splinterlands Share Your Battle with the theme: Chaos Knight.

Edition: CHAOS LEGION
Rarity: COMMON
Element: LIFE
Attack: MELEE
Abilities: Shield

I have got to be honest with you, I am not really a big Life Splinter user now. I used to like them before the game changed the usable cards. I thought that they were so strong and could withstand any attack from other Splinters. Although they really come at such a high mana cost.

This Chaos Knight is part of the new usable deck I think, I don't know why, but I own it. I forgot where I got it from. Anyway, I haven't really used it before this battle, so my first few attempts were shameful (okay, they're many), but I don't want to share any of them because looking back at the replays, I was like "What in the fresh hell was that? How did I think about that? What's wrong with me?!"

Breaking down this Chaos Knight though, it comes with a 6 mana cost. Pretty standard for tanks. Yes, tank, I think this one should be considered as a tank since she has the ability called "Shield" which reduces damage from both melee and ranged attacks, I don't think she can be any clearer than that.

But here's the thing, she only has 3 armor points and a mere 4 health points, I think that those numbers are pretty mediocre for a tank. That is just me comparing her to her other comrades in the Life group.

Her melee is at 2 and just a 2-speed point. Not so exciting stats there.

I will be sharing the first battle where I succeeded using her. Please note, I really do not have any experience with her, that sounds dirty, but it's just pure pity.

For this particular battle, the mana cap is just 13. I thought that this should really limit my choices and I went in with just a simple strategy. Bring Chaos Knight and take a hitter who can hit fast, it doesn't matter how hard it hits, I just want it to hit fast.

Since the mana cap is too small already, I opted to take Mother Khala to the battle because she has a lower mana cost, and then she also gives an additional HP that would surely be advantageous to Chaos Knight who will receive the additional HP. She could really use that as a tank.

For the attacker, I chose a fast-hitting Time Mage.
Actually, that's the only reason why I chose her, she could hit first while the Chaos Knight is keeping enemies at bay.

The Battle

The battle unfolded fairly quickly, the opponent was able to bring 3 Dark Splinters. It's a battle between the Life and Dark element, isn't that always the case?
Anyway, the battle started with both of our tanks taking much of the damage, round 1, round 2, and round 3 were all identical and we were just trading blows.

The fourth round showed a huge difference because I was able to take out the enemy's tank and it all went downhill for him then. The battle ended there and then with my Chaos Knight successfully protecting the Time Mage and was able to secure the win. Yey for me!

The strategy worked that time, but I don't think that I could do anything differently next time around.

To be completely honest, I am not a fan of her, I just think that she could really benefit from a few HP buffs. Or maybe, her mana cost could be lower a bit.

That's it and good luck with your battles!
