While doing research on what unit might be a good thing to post, Baron Fyatt attracted my attention. This promo unit is a limited purchase in celebration of Bitcoin's halving event last year. Actually. what made me attracted to this unit is that for a unit that's supposed to be special, Baron Fyatt seems.... weak. I've used a number of units that looked weak based on stats and abilities but did a lot well in practice. Let's see if this is one of those units or Baron Fyatt is really as weak as he looks.
Lore
This rebellion is getting out of hand, but Baron Fyatt, Lord High Treasurer in charge of the Chaos Empire’s fiscal policies, has a plan: a 50% tax levied against all sales, income, and net worth.
Taxes collected in native coinages are to be melted down and reminted as Chaos marks. With less coins like the Gloridax auro and Anumian crown in circulation, their value will plummet. The rebels and their sympathizers will find themselves unable to fund their little uprising, and it will fizzle out in no time. The baron will be hailed a hero.
Stats
Baron Fyatt is an interesting unit to use. I really like that they gave him magic attack so his hits won't miss and he could apply Halving ability consistently. Scattershot, on the other hand, has both its perks and cons. It gives him insane chance to attack different targets each round which means Halving can also apply to different units in each round. On the other hand, depending on your luck, Baron Fyatt may not be able to hit the unit you want to half the damage at all. Just like crypto and bitcoin, while there are skills involved to make your investments as successful as possible, at the end of the day, it's all about luck.

Good Rules to Consider
Bad Rules to Think Twice
Battle
Use the Equal Opportunity Rule in my favor by using Crypt Beetle as the bait then Baron Fyatt slowly Halving all of the enemy unit's attacks. If done properly, this should give my units a huge edge in damage. Even before the battle, Baron Fyatt already applied the Halving to Venari Knifer which made his attacks ineffective to Crypt Beetle. The second attack went to Regal Peryton and the third attack hit Mycelic Slipspawn. I got huge advantage because of these three attacks which made me the winner in the end.
On Other News

I got quite lucky this week getting a number of consecutive wins. With just less than 10 battles, I was able to rank up to Silver 2. It's almost 20 days since I first made this account so my rentals when I got the account will be ending soon. I wonder if I can still get to this point without renting too much?
