Splinterlands Social Media Challenge - Grund + Double Strike!!
Hey folks, Welcome to this week's social media challenge for the online blockchain game #splinterlands. Here is the Link to enter the challenge.
Each week i will feature a different Monster + Ability with a Battle. This week i am featuring the monster known as Grund!
Grund is an excellent Epic Earth monster as he has the devastating Double Strike ability which i really love and his stats are massive. With all this going for him he could easily be mistaken for a Legendary!
Grund is great in almost any situation but he can be used to great effect in the Melee Mayhem rule set especially if you keep him in the middle of your team thus maximising his potential.
Grund has spent his entire life in the lowlands of Praetoria and has grown to love the land and its people. First introduced to the lore of battle as a hatchling, he has studied it ever since with enthusiasm. When he became a juvenile his hands found steel, an old rusting sword abandoned and forgotten in the swamp by some intrepid explorer. Before long it became an extension of himself as he applied all he had learnt, quickly mastering blade work. From then on, he became obsessed with the art of armed combat and he practised with any weapons he could get his hands on.
Rarity: Epic
Element: Earth
Attack: Melee
Abilities: Double Strike at level 1 + Trample at Level 4 + Cripple at Level 6
Abilities
This is an amazing ability and is very effective in many types of battles. Another great card with this ability is Carnage Titan who i featured recently in another social media challenge. When these two get together on the battlefield it is indeed carnage.
Check my battle below to watch this strategy decimate my opponent!
This can work really well alongside Double Strike as you can witness in the battle below.
As you can see below his stats are amazing especially at top level when he becomes an unstoppable killing machine.
Battle Info
This is a 28 mana level battle with all Splinters allowed except Water.
I have 3 cards in this battle against 6!
Dragon vs Death
Ruleset = Up Close + Personal - Only Monsters with Melee attack may be used in battles.
Battle Line Up + Strategy
This is a great Dragon summoner which grants +1 magic to all friendly monsters.
Grund will be my tank for this battle and i am relying on his Double Strike ability to win the day. Plus he has some hardcore support!
Backing up Grund with the Reach ability we have Carnage Titan for Double Double Strike!
This monster is here simply to fill the gap.
Check out this Great Battle to see Carnage + Grund in action!
Round 1 bgins with the enemies Silent Sha-Vi killing Mycelic Morphoid. This was expected as he was only here to fill a gap.
Next we see the enemies tank Haunted Spirit being destroyed after taking a double hit from Carnage Titan and another from Grund.
Next we see Grund utilizing his Trample ability by attacking + Killing the next victim called Carrion Shade and he also attacks a third time in a row to complete his Double Strike attack!! This time it is Silent Sha-Vi getting hit.
Round 2 begins with Carnage Titan finishing off Silent Sha-Vi and Grund then wipes out Parasitic Growth and Maggots with his Double Strike. This is too easy!
The battle is won with Carnage Titan blasting Cursed Windeku to pieces.
These two are unstoppable. This was a great strategy and i hope you enjoyed reading this post.
If you sign up with my Referral Link and purchase the Summoner's Spellbook i will delegate you 5 cards to help you get started. At least one of these will be rare or higher.
