Welcome to Koodies's battle weekly post, whereby I try to challenge myself to write a post to understand more about splinterlands tactics and sprinkle the wonders of splinterlands to all my readers! Game On ~
Battle Overview
Lineup
Summoner
Chosen Kelya as the summoner because I wanted to use water splinters as most of them have higher speeds than the other splinters. One of the main reasons is this is a Back Basics match therefore nothing else matters other than the splinter speed. The faster it is, the likely chance of dodging is higher.
Why no Earth or Death which I have a higher level summoner? Their speed is lower and most of their melee comes with ability without those abilities there is kind of a softy or requires too much mana to be cost-effective.
One of the best tanks the water splinter team has. It has a total of Effective Health Points at 13 against non-magic damage splinter. It has an average of 2 melee damage.
Well choose this because number 1 I need a filler with low mana, number 2 it has a very effective health points of 7.
With the leftover 7 mana and 3 empty slots for a splinter, I choose Angelic Mandarin because it has a high amount of health compared to the other Chaos card.
Having Angelic Mandarin tank some damage for deep lurker and the backline to deal more damage is a pretty nice strategy.
The second chosen card is right after the diemonshark. Deeplurker has high damage of 3, with 2 being the average and 1 being the lowest, he considers a stable in most of the melee matches but sadly this tournament is a Chaos Only battlefield and also back to basic match.
We are unable to get select demented shark to boost his melee damage by 1.
With the leftover 7 mana and 3 empty slots for splinter out of the 3 slots, I choose Ice Pixie for its low mana cost and ability well it is just a higher chance to dodge melee damage.
With the left over of 7 mana and 3 empty slots for splinter. Last but not least, I choose Igor Darkspear who only require 2 mana. One of cheap chaos unit for water splinter!
Round 1
Okay so my opponent is using a level 2 Kelya oh no ... this isn't great he has a level 3 Cruel Sethropod and Kulu Swimhunter.
In terms of speed, most of his card out speed mine and him having Serpent of Eld allow him to have a higher ground than me.
Round 2
Okay sure I took down his Serpent of Eld before the start of round 2 but my diemonshark is already down by half of his effective health points
Round 3
Well I did manage to make his diemonshark down by half of its effective health points. Hopefully my strategy of having Angelic Mandarin to tank some damage works.
Round 4
And there goes my Cruel Lobster.
Well, that was fast ... Angelic Mandarin was gone in a round before his Cruel Sethropod. I guess the Angelic Mandarin didn't really do very well but heh it's better than nothing. Doesn't look good at this point.
Round 6
Okay, my deeplurker manages to tank a number of damage, but he definitely will not survive this round. With the armor on his remaining splinters, I just pray that my Igor will knock down the armor first before deeplurker do big damage.
Round 7
Okay at this point I knew I cock up. Face Palm oh great.
My battle in a nutshell
What I should have done
With this, I will have won this match ... Wasted. 😭
What so great about this lobster?
