Hello everyone! It's a new week and a new battle challenge. And in this challenge, the lucky monster comes from the life splinter. Today we'll play with the Chaos Knight.
It's a mele monster that I use from time to time, mainly because of the shield ability, and secondly for the giant killer.
It gets more interesting at level five once it gains his second ability - giant killer. But even without that, he has its use due to the shield ability and high melee damage.

On to the match itself.
It was a low mana battle, and on top of that, it was with Noxious Fumes ruleset. Quite a combo to play in.
But it had to be done, and I wanted to feature the Chaos Knight in this battle. My only fear was that my opponent could run with Mylor, but I didn't see one in his previous battles, so I made my team as follows.
As you can see, I was relying on my main card - Chaos Knight to carry this match as my other cards would die real fast thanks to the Noxious Fumes.
But what did my opponent bring to the party? Let's have a closer look.
My opponent went with the earth splinter. In his lineup, there were two self-healing cards. That sure meant some trouble for me.
Some may say that I was outclassed in this battle due to the two self-healing monsters, but was it so?
The battle lasted 6 rounds. Let's take a look at what happened.
During round one, not much happened. Herbalist removed the poison from Chaos Knight, and he held up nicely against the Flash Golem and Earth Elemental.
At the start of round two, my low-health monsters died as expected. And this is where I started to doubt if I could win this match. This was the last round where Herbalist could attack, and after that, the Chaos Knight would be left all alone.
At the start of round three, Chaos Knight had his last stand. But my opponent also has weakened thanks to my attacks and poison.
Round four was decisive as it started with poison damage. And the Flash Golem had just 3 points left. Perfect! My Chaos Knight hit him, and there was only Earth Elemental remaining that could not attack. And so the Knight, with just a single hit point remaining, chopped the health of the tree away.
It took one more round to finish off the Earth Elemental, but the battle was won in the previous round.
