Hi Guys! It's me again masterzarlyn28 in the hive! For today's blog let's talk about my weekly challenge!
DEEPLURKER LORE
Terrifying to behold, Deeplurkers are poisonous fish that dwell at the bottom of the ocean and prey on the weak. However, they are known to travel to the surface in times of dire need. Many believe that they are sensitive to the balance of elemental water magic and, when that balance is in danger, the Deeplurkers rise to attack or defend it.
The Kulu Swimhunters swam just below the surface of the water, following the Praetorian fishing vessel. When it lowered its sails and came to a halt, they would strike.
Movement from the depths below caught the eye of one Swimhunter. He turned his tentacled head to peer down. Something large rose toward them. Before he could call out a warning, a massive Deeplurker swam into their midst in a churn of frothing water.
Its grotesque tongue lolled as the enormous fish seized the smallest Swimhunter by the waist, teeth tearing into rubbery flesh. Another churn of water, and the Deeplurker descended into the darkness with its prey.
The remaining Kulu Swimhunters scattered, fleeing in all directions, and the Praetorian fishing vessel sailed on, blissfully unaware of how close its crew had come to their demise.
THE RULE SET 🚦
There are 2 rules in this battle @ 99 Mana Cap and only 2 elements are available, Dragon and Water.
Explosive Weaponry - All monsters will get blast ability wherein it adds up as additional damage on monster adjusted to the target.
Noxious Fumes - All monsters will get 2 damage at the start of the game unless they are cleansed.
⚔️ MY TEAM ⚔️
I chose the water element since I have monsters with the highest health and mana! Kelya being their summoner will help them to live longer and faster, meaning they will have the chance to attack first and deal damage! Since we have a blast ability for the monster, I think Kelya is the best fit for this battle.
THE SUMMONER
Kelya Frendul, is a rare card summoner from the Chaos Legion. A monster under him will get additional Speed and health! He is the perfect summoner for this ruleset and mana cap. A monster that was summoned by him will have the chance to live longer because of the +1 health power enough to cover the damage of the ruleset and a chance to evade the attack of the enemy. The legendary Oshannus seems to be happy with Kelya and smells victory! :)
FIRST POSITION: Diemonshark
Diemonshark at level 1 has the ability to trample in which it can perform another attack once it kills/hits its target. Aside from the trample ability, Diemonshark is a good tank since it has 2 melee damage and is great for missing the attack of the opponent since it has a 4 speed with 7 health and a 6 shield! Awesome!
SECOND POSITION: Flying Squid
A melee attack monster from the chaos legion in which it has the ability to reach those cards that are placed in the second position a perfect position for the Reach ability! Having the damage of 2 melee and a speed of 3. Its health is enough to survive the 2 rulesets."
THIRD POSITION: Djinn Oshannus
Here comes the legendary! This guy has a 5 speed! Yes, a 5-speed card with 2 magic damage and a void ability! Oshannus! One of my favorite cards. It can kill off his enemy unless he is not dealing with the mighty Unicorn Mustang ft. with the mushroom seer! I placed him here to support Diemonshark and Flying squid.
FOURTH POSITION: Deeplurker
The star of this weekly challenge! The greatest lurker in the sea! A cool card with 3 melee damage and has the ability to target a monster who has the lowest health! Deeplurker can attack from any position. Since it is a 99 Mana Cap Battle, I guess my opponent picks the best cards that have the highest mana and with the highest number of hp. Deeplurker can play a vital role to deal high damage against the opponent.
FIFTH POSITION: Demented Shark
Demented Shark has the inspire ability in which it gives additional 1 melee attack. It is a good fit on monsters with melee damage specially Deeplurker which will now have 4 melee damage!
SIXTH POSITION: Wave Brood
For the last position, I put Wave Brood even if he has the ability to take over the position. In this setup, all damages deal in him and I know that he can stand with it since it has the highest health among the monsters! His taunt ability will help the monster in the first position to continuously fight for the enemy without getting hurt! Thanks to his teammate wave brood for sacrificing himself!
🛡 THE OPPONENT 🛡
The opponent also picked Kelya as his summoner and was followed also by Diemonshark and Flying Squid. he also choose Deeplurker and uses Disintegrator ugh. My poor Demented Shark got rejected by this monster! He also adds River Nymph as a support to the tank to avoid the poison rule!
Oshannus start the battle with a bang to Diemonshark and Deep Lurker focuses on River Nymph! Nice Lurker! At this moment, they are still alive! Let's see on the next round :)
⚔️ ROUND 2 ⚔️
There you go! River Nymph will say goodbye. Thanks to our star of the night, DEEPLURKER! As the battle continues, the opponents' team began to fall off. Fly high Flying Squid.
⚔️ ROUND 3 ⚔️
Another round for poison, this time Demented Shark is out. Opponent Lurker also dies. I still have 5 monsters left and their hp is still quite high specially our Legendary Oshannus and the opponent got only 3 monsters. Oshannus began to revenge and he killed easily the two monsters with just one attack! The serpent of Eld will be the last monster standing in their team but failed to make it to the next round.
💡 MY STRATEGY
For this battle, I use a monster with a high health power followed by a high speed. It is essential to have a monster with the highest health in order to survive the poison on every round. I maximize the blast ability by using a monster with the highest speed in which it does have an opportunity ability ---The Deeplurker! In this way, it can add additional damage to a monster adjacent to its target monster. For the line-up, I put the the monster with taunt ability to receive all the attacks from the opponent. Wave Brood is the best fit for this since it has a large HP! I think he can survive in this setup. Deeplurker plays an important role in this battle as it does have a high hp, speed, melee damage, and of course his ability! With the help of opportunity ability, he easily gives damage to 3 monsters in a single attack! It will be more painful if the opponent does not use the disintegrator but still, my team survives! I think on the next battle, I will use monster with snipe and sneak in the same ruleset with Deeplurker for them to wash out the opponent's team!
