Let us now delve deep into this crystal meteor to discover what makes it formidable. I am using a level 3 gold foil and he has
๐ GEM METEOR๐ is a divine creature formed from the breath of the great Uul, a creature that soars through the sky and flings crystal shards from it's body at anyone unfortunate enough to get in it's way.
***SCATTERSHOT ability- When in battle, this creature's attack hits any random enemy monster.***
Upon impact, the ๐ GEM METEOR๐ crystalline missiles splinter and crack, ricocheting into everything in it's path and wreaking havoc. ๐ GEM METEOR๐ occasionally experience such a frenzy that it loses all sense of who or what it is aiming it's shards at.
At level 1 This card has 1-ranged attack at 4-speeds, 5-health, and the scattershot ability. Even at level one, it has great speed and decent health, so will be very useful even in higher league.
level 4 The range is later increased to 3, with 5-speed, and 5-health. Given it's 5-mana cost, ๐ GEM METEOR๐ increased range attack, and speed points makes it a very powerful silver level warrior.
At Max level 6-MAX, however, This card gains additional power. Along with the added Piercing ability, it gains 4 range. ๐ GEM METEOR๐ becomes very useful in battle at this level.

This was a mid-mana cap battle with the AIM TRUE and COUNTERSPELL rule set. Meaning 'All Melee and Ranged attackers always hit their target', and All Monsters gain the magic reflect ability. This ruleset strongly supported the use of ๐ GEM METEOR๐ in battle.
โ๏ธ TEAM LINE-UP โ๏ธ
๐ฌCHANSEUS THE GREAT
CHANSEUS THE GREAT is an extraordinary 2-starโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ being destined for greatness. He is a great summoner with supernatural abilities to grant Monsters willing to fight alongside him the Repair ability which restores some armor to the warrior whose armor has taken the most damage in battle. He then grants the Triage ability which heals the backline warrior's health each round and finally the Resurrect ability which will bring back to life one warrior when it dies.
๐WHY I PICKED CHANSEUS THE GREAT
Summer CHANSEUS THE GREAT is Repairer and Resurrector, hence, he is particularly effective in enforcing my teams attack while breaking enemies resistance with minimal cost. ๐ GEM METEOR๐ would become even more powerful while breaking through enemies defense easily with the Scattershot ability.
This summoner is such a very valuable card to have cause of this LEGENDARY fact, implying he will almost always fits 85% rulesets and battle mana cap.
๐ฌ URIEL THE PURIFIER - 1ST POSITION
In front line comes URIEL THE PURIFIER because of his high ranking as a formidable Solaki warrior and magnificent abilities. A 2-star โญ๏ธโญ๏ธ warrior deserving of it's moniker. His Recharge ability makes him cause 3x the damage to enemy every round. He also uses his Flying ability to fly over enemies with non-flying ability and fiercely attack them. Using his Heal ability, he heals him each round, making him difficult to kill.
This cards attack type is Melee, a powerful card and it is part of the Life unit. It costs 11-mana to use in battle.
๐WHY I PICKED URIEL THE PURIFIER
I picked URIEL THE PURIFIER because being a Melee attacker, it can cause great damage even at a lower leagues. Best when paired with summoners like CHANSEUS THE GREAT to make it fully resistant to enemies trying to bridge front line. This card will help ๐ GEM METEOR๐ by giving it opportunity to deal with enemies, the enemies will literally have to go through URIEL THE PURIFIER to get to him, thereby securing a win.
๐ฌTIME MAGE - 2ND POSITION
TIME MAGE is a 4-star โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ warrior with the Slow ability which reduces the speed of all enemies, allowing her team to attack fiercely, causing damage before the enemy has the chance to react. She is gentle, strict and an absolutely terror to her enemies.
This cards attack type is Magic, and it is part of the Life unit. It costs 4-mana to use in battle , as a result, it will be an excellent card for both low & mid mana ruleset battles.
๐WHY I PICKED TIME MAGE
I picked TIME MAGE because she peers perfectly well with ๐ GEM METEOR๐ as a spell caster and also her ability will work against the enemies giving room for him to recharge and attack. This time manipulator does great Exploits by turning enemies strategy against them. She is a definite add to any Life deck๐ฌ.
โ๏ธ๐ GEM METEOR๐ - 3RD POSITION
Next comes the theme card, the ๐ GEM METEOR๐ , a 3-starโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Epic warrior with the ability to cause great Scattershot
This cards attack type is Range, an Epic card and it is part of the Neutral unit.
๐WHY I PICKED ๐ GEM METEOR๐
I picked ๐ GEM METEOR๐ in other to outlast my enemies. I precited my opponent will come at me with Melee force, and in other to gain advantage, I'd need the Scattershot to help hit, hopefully the tough to kill enemy monsters.
๐ฌPELACOR ARBALEST - 4TH POSITION
A 4-star โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ warrior with the accurate range skill. His powerful crossbows is enchanted to fire bolts at extremely long distances. He has the Double strike ability which allows him attack twice each time he strikes.
This cards attack type is Range, and it is part of the Life unit. It costs 6-mana to use in battle , as a result, it will be an excellent card for both mid & high mana ruleset battles.
๐WHY I PICKED ๐นPELACOR ARBALEST๐น
I picked ๐นPELACOR ARBALEST๐น because of it's double Strike ability which targets ranged, magic or no attack types, this will be very useful for ๐ GEM METEOR๐ . Decimating the enemies back row and dealing double the damage is key to my teams victory.
โ๏ธTHE BATTLE ROUNDSโ๏ธ
- The Enemy came at me with the Earth element, ENEMY SUMMONER - OBSIDIAN as Summoner. ENEMY-MYCELIC INFANTRY in first position, ENEMY-GOBLIN PSYCHIC in second position, ENEMY-URAEUS in third position, ENEMY-MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN in fourth position and finally ENEMY-SCAVO HIRELING in last position.

โถ๏ธCLICK ON THIS TO REPLAY THE ๐ GEM METEOR๐ BATTLEโ๏ธ
DO I LIKE THE ๐ GEM METEOR๐ ?
GEM METEOR๐ ? I still I'm not sure if i really do like this card ๐ GEM METEOR๐ . It sure has two very useful abilities of which I only got to experience one. The decent 5 mana cost can be helpful in battles with low to medium mana limits.
๐ GEM METEOR๐ "Scattershot Ability" is unique to a few chaos cards Like PORTAL SPINNER, hence, I am very optimistic about this particular ability. You can also employ it when feeling less positive about your lineup, who knows if these lucky scatter shots will have any effect on the outcome?
To be fair, I definitely am glad to have experienced it's amazing Stats, and would keep making use of in any splinter battle since it is a Neutral card. ๐ GEM METEOR๐ has awesome Speed, and health, that's already a slam dunk. This only demonstrates that if you play the any splinter and at decent mana cap, then this is a card to have on deck.
In summary the battles were exciting to watch and I will keep seeking more ways to but and max the card.
DID MY STRATEGY WORK AND WHAT LESSONS DRAWN FROM IT?
Yes, my strategy worked, maybe not idle as best. It was a good lineup and strategy for this 38 mana battleโ๏ธ
๐ฌ๐ GEM METEOR๐ being a Range attacker should ideally be placed in the rare position because you'll want it attacking enemies without fear of being vulnerable. Also, if you add monsters with interesting abilities as support as in the case of these team line up, then it will be more difficult to target and kill allowing it cause max damage.
What I learnt is that, this card can be further enhanced with summoners that offer extra abilities like CHANSEUS THE GREAT.
๐ GEM METEOR๐ is no doubt a decent card. This challenge has surely exposed his usefulness in battle.
๐That will be all about my weekly battle with ๐ GEM METEOR๐ as the themed card.
