Hello everyone, this is my first post with the updated reward in the game, and I was very happy and excited when I saw this challenge, because I rarely use this monster because of the summoners in my earth deck, and this will be a real challenge for me.
According to the splinterlands lore; VENARI KNIFER are specialized rogues, assassins, and thieves that make their living through shadier dealings in the Realm of Silence underneath Praetoria. They often work as part of criminal organizations or guilds, taking on contracts to put more gold in their pockets. When the Chaos Legion's agents came to Praetoria, many Venari Knifers saw them as new benefactors for their mercenary work. Using the tunnels that run beneath the surface world, the Knifers move like shadows in the night to strike at their opponents.
Like the rest of their kin, Knifers are masters of tools and technology. They've used their knowledge to perfect the Knifer Rig. A deadly weapon powered by magic and pneumatics, Knifer Rigs consist of six fully articulated blades and rods carried on the back. When not in use, they fold away neatly and unobtrusively. When employed, however, they are silent, speedy, and absolutely deadly.
VENARI KNIFER is a powerful monster with multiple abilities, including Thorns
| MANA | 6 | |
| ARMOR | 0 | |
| HEALTH | 6 | |
| SPEED | 5 | |
| DAMAGE | 3 |
Because this is a common card, a regular foil single bcx will give 5 CP, and upgrading to level 3 will increase his CP to 70. While a gold foil version of this card will award 125 CP.
At the time of writing, this card's regular foil is currently priced at $0.073 per bcx, and because I have a level 3 VENARI KNIFER, 14 BCX are required, so the total cost to buy a regular foil level 3 VENARI KNIFER is 1.036.
The Gold foil card, on the other hand, is automatically leveled to 3, and will cost $1.338.
STRENGTHS Because of his Thorns ability, this monster is excellent against melee monsters. Along with his raw basic stats of 3 damage, 5 speed, and 6 HP, which are all above average, he is one of the faster and highest damage monsters in the 6 mana monsters.
WEAKNESS, these monsters lack armor, making them vulnerable to physical attacks; he will only be able to last 2 - 3 rounds without any protection, and EARTH SPLINTER is famous for its summoner MYLOR CROWLING, who grants Thorns ability to its monsters, which makes this monster ability useless.
The mana cap is 20, with the rulesets ARMORED UP
QUIX THE DEVIOUS is one of the best options I have in this game, in my opinion, because of his ability to reduce the speed and range of damage monsters of the enemy. With this summoner, I am confident that any range damage monsters will be rendered ineffective against my lineup.
VENARI KNIFER is the main character in the lineup, and as I mentioned in my strategy, his ability THORNS will be a game-changer, with his speed and damage, he will be both a great tank and damage dealer because the enemy will have a higher chance of missing due to this monster's raw speed, and an amazing tank due to his THORNS ability.
URAEUS, I chose this monster because I needed another damage dealer in addition to my VENARI KNIFER, and this monster is part of my Sneak combo. URAEUS will deal with the enemy's backline monsters; I also put him in second place because of his armor; my SCAVO HIRELING will be able to repair his damage if he is damaged by the enemy.
GOBLIN THIEF is the final puzzle for my Sneak duo; he and URAEUS will eliminate the enemy's backline monsters.
SCAVO HIRELING is my only support in the lineup; I need support to buy time for my damaged dealers to eliminate the enemy; he will be able to extend the life of my monsters with his REPAIR ability.
FUNGUS FIEND is the final piece in my lineup, since there will be no magic allowed in the game, I am expecting the enemy to go for Sneak monsters, and placing this monster in the last position will buy more time for my monsters to eliminate all of the enemy monsters. His main purpose is to tank any Sneak damage.
QUIX the DEVIOUS vs KELYA FRENDUR, KELYA's +1 speed will be negated by my QUIX's debuff. However, he retains his + armor for the summer, while I reduce the damage of his range monsters.
We traded damage in the first round, and our armor was either removed or reduced, but because we both have SCAVO HIRELING, one of our monsters' armor is being repaired.
The enemy's first position monster ability Dodge is now in effect, my VENARI KNIFER has missed his damage, but he still has his Thorns ability, which the enemy took damage from, while I was able to eliminate his SCAVO HIRELING and did not lose any of my monsters.
Because he lost his support in the third round, I was able to slowly damage his monsters while only my VENARI KNIFER took damage because my SCAVO HIRELING was repairing the armor of my URAEUS. In the final round, I managed to kill both monsters while only losing my VENARI KNIFER.
VENARI KNIFER is a fantastic monster, as demonstrated in my match. Thorns are a melee monster's weakness, and VENARI KNIFER is the key to overcoming it. Despite the fact that he is a brilliant monster, I rarely use him because I have a MYLOR CROWLING in my deck. But this lineup I created for this match is one of the best, and I would not change anything if I played the same game with the same rulesets.
