Hello Splinterlands Community!
Another week, another post for Share Your Battle! Weekly Challenge featuring Crypt Beetle.
Tales are told of the crypt beetles. Enormous insects that are found feeding on the corpses within. Most explorers think they are a mere nuisance and will try to scare them away from whatever tomb they are choosing to rob.
But things don't end well for those explorers. These large beetles will defend themselves and their food aggressively. And any explorer that makes it back out alive will have impressive scars to show from the crypt beetle's bite.
Let's check the status and the abilities of this card.
Crypt Beetle is a death common card from the Chaos Legion Edition.
Looking at the basic stats especially at lower level, Crypt Beetle status is way below the average on a common card with 1 damage up until ★4, a slow speed with a low armor and a low health. Magic attack can easily vaporized this beetle.
Looking at the bright side, Crypt Beetle cost 3 mana and with a shield ability reducing physical damage.
Crypt Beetle is most suitable in low mana match especially with the little league ruleset.
Contessa L'ament and Zintar Mortalis are the most suitable summoners with Crypt Beetle reducing physical damage which is most suitable with the shield ability.
Recommended ruleset to pair with this card:
| Because of low health, equalizer ruleset will greatly benefit Crypt Beetle prolonging its survival and further utilizing the shield ability. | |
| A 4 mana cost and below cards usually don't have a high attack which greatly benefit the shield ability. | |
| Magic attack can easily kill Crypt Beetle. Without magic, Crypt Beetle thick shell serves as the shield reducing physical damage. |
Modifications: Equal Opportunity
Mana Cap: 19
Playable Splinters: Death and Dragon
| Summoner | Contessa L'ament | 3 | Reduce the range damage of oppponent's range unit. This could be Zintar Mortalis if I have a rent on that card. |
| Front Row | Crypt Beetle | 3 | With the shield ability, temporarily absorb some initial damage while Cursed Windeku and Silent Sha-vi are doing the damage. |
| Back Row 1 | Carrion Shade | 1 | Another meat shield but because of the equal opportunity, can do a little damage before being defeated. |
| Back Row 2 | Cursed Slimeball | 1 | The same purpose with Carrion Shade as another layer of meat shield. |
| Back Row 3 | Silent Sha-vi | 5 | Silent Sha-vi provides sneak attack picking and killing the rear enemy one by one. |
| Back Row 4 | Cursed Windeku | 6 | With the highest health, the least target because of the equal opportunity making Cursed Windeku deadly dealing 3 melee damage and giving thorn damage at the end game. Also anti sneak dealing thorn damage in-case of sneak attack. |
If I interchange the position of Chaos Agent and Crypt Beetle in this battle, I think that will change the outcome.
