On to my second battle challenge after missing out a few weeks! So hard to keep track of everything :'D
Anyways this week is the week for Disintegrator to shine! This beast is a Neutral card, best known for its Demoralizing which gives the enemy team -1 Meele attack debuff! Following is an example match where Disintegrator contributed to a win!
50 mana, Blast, Meele Mayhem ruleset. And its a match from the Second half of the Splinterlands official tournaments!
Funnily we both had the same idea of using Eastwood to remove shield here.
| Splinter | Mana Cost | Position | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wizard of Eastwood | 3 | Summoner | The tournament restriction (Untamed/CL no legendaries) limits my option, but I believed Eastwood to fare better than Obsidian will since I'll be using Melee team to benefit most of the ruleset. |
| Unicorn Mustang | 8 | 1st | The front tank, just in case opponent went magic. Also most of melee heavy hitter are slow speed, so Mustang 4 speed might pull a miss or two! |
| Mycelic Infantry | 8 | 2nd | The shielded beast at second slot to properly absorb any blast. |
| War Chaang | 7 | 3rd | Beefy, with a total of 3 damage, along with retaliate to boot making it a good tank if needed. |
| Grund | 10 | 4th | The main damager, with its double strike enabling it to dish out 6 damage per turn! |
| Disintegrator | 7 | 5th | Disintegrator, while serving as an extra source of damage, it also helps weaken enemy melee attackers in this expected melee fest. |
| Venari Knifer | 6 | 6th | Nice damage, high speed, along with thorns to finish of any sneaks! |
| Total Mana: | 49 |
Managed to utilized most of the provided mana. I remember being amazed by the opponents team as well, that Taunt at the back and Infantry to absorb the Blast is a good idea. But his choice of Peryton made him lose out of quite the amount of possible damage output per turn, securing me the win.
Also I guess my prediction of putting Unicorn with the void in front seems to payoff hehe. My evaluation for the Disintegrator as far as Silver league goes is that he is kinda meh? Unless with special ruleset like this, he can't attack without being in the first slot, however he definitely isn't your go to tank in any case as well hmmm.
