I have a couple of monsters that have scavenger but rarely use it as much as I think I should. I prefer the opportunity ability more as that will lead me into much more of an attack toward knocking out my opponent than Scavenger. Yet Scavenger has its own benefits where it basically gains one health for every monster destroyed.
The match in focus has rule sets opportunity and melee attack only. This led me to focus mostly on heavy damaging melee monsters with a limit in mana as the match only allowed up to 34.
My formation starts out with Cube follow up by Unicorn Mustang, Stonesplitter Orc, Hobgoblin, Rusty Android and finishing off with Furious Chicken. Again my focus was to get high melee monsters with decent defense as I knew I could attack my opponent with opportunity.
My opponent formation was dragon splinter mixed in with earth monsters. They led off with Gloridax Soldier, Onyx Sentinel, Spirit Miner, Spirit Grug, and closing with Mushroom Seer and Serpentine Mystic. The formation appears to be focus mostly on magic with a decent tanker in both Gloridax and Onyx.
At the end of round one it was clear my formation had the upper hand as it 5 on 3. What was even better was that due to scavenger on my cube it was reaching highest health in the match at 16.
A bit of a challenge for me was that the Gloridax was able to avoid my attacks several times making it a prolonged match as I was only able to knock it out at beginning of round four. In addition it cause my formation to be down one more monster with that prolonged match.
By the start of round 5 it was clear that my formation will become victorious as my opponent only had left was their Onyx which had zero attacks.
In this match you can clearly see the usefulness of Cube that included the scavenger ability. It was able to handle all attacks but since it was the opportunity ability for the match most monsters were not hitting the Cube through out the match. Still the increase in health while having more monsters than my opponent it was clear that I had the upper hand. The scavenger ability was added incentive for my formation.
Link to the match if you want to watch.
Until tomorrow happy Splinterlands to everyone.
