Hello everyone. It is time for our weekly battle challenge for explore something new in the Chaos Legion Edition. And our focus today is the CRYPT BEETLE which is a mini tank with shield ability in death team. I believe most of you are sharing some victory battle, however, I would like to share something that totally different from others which is a loss of battle. And then share some of my thoughts and reflections in improving my battle technique so that I can get it to a win next time. So let's move on and enjoy the giveaways.
28 Mana Cost
EQUALIZER: The initial Health of all Monsters is equal to that of the Monster on either team with the highest base Health.
CLOSE RANGE: Ranged attacks may be used in the first position in battles.
The equalizer rule-set is one of the best rule set in the world since there will be no difference in terms of the health of monsters which means that the key to win the battle is to pick those monster with lower mana cost but higher damage. This concept will be demonstrated throughout the whole battle. In other words, you will basically win the battle if you master the key of this rule-set.
Please refer to the Battle Link here.
The BYZANTINE KITTY is a powerful summoner so that I rent it for fun and try to complete my dragon daily quest. It is a 7 cost summoner with healing ability and true strike plus some speed bonus. Basically we can conclude that it is overpower in any battle just mentioning the sustainability and the true strike ability, which is a good combination with those low speed monster to secure a strike in the battle such as sand worm, sea monster and so on. In most cases, the ranger in life team are of low speed that can not secure a single hit on the high speed monsters.
The CRYPT BEETLE is definitely a perfect match with equalizer rule set since it only cost 3 mana and it provides the shield ability which is as same as the role of HARKLAW. But most importantly, the cost is totally different which can provide you some extra space for DPS monsters.
The SILENT SHA-VI is actually a beast in the CL edition since you might possibly meet it in every battle of death. It is a common card but of high potentials. The damage for it is excellent by considering only 5 mana cost. My suggest level for new comers is level 6 since you get the extra ability of Cripple.
Actually the LIFE SAPPER has very good performance in death team by considering the win rate of it. Although it only have 2 health which is super fragile in battle and could get one hit by the enemy and gone, the power of snowball effect is another key. The mechanism of LIFE SAPPER and ANCIENT LICH is super close, but the LIFE SAPPER is the cheaper and mini version of Lich. So that if you can not afford the Lich, you can still go with the Sapper.
The SPIRIT HOARDER plays an supportive role in my line up to heal my back line monster in case there are any sneak or snipe monster on the other side. It help my team to have a sustainable situation during the battle.
The SOUL STRANGLER is excellent in stat but with no ability until it is maxed. However, the best thing of it is that the lower cost and high damage which is a perfect match in equalizer battle that shares the same concept with CRYPT BEETLE. I will go for it since it only cost 3 mana and it provides 2 range attack.
The FIRE SPITTER is one of my favorite dragon monsters. It is a 4 Mana cost splinter with excellent stats: 2 Attack, 4 Speed and 4 Health with flying ability. Just think about that the efficiency provided by this 4 Mana is definitely worth it.
Lol, this battle was really a home run for my opponent. Just like the old saying, life is a circle. It means that when I do a home run on my enemy in the past, I will also get smashed by my enemy in the future. That's the karma and mechanism in life.
So let's get back to the battle and reflection phrase, the strategy for my is totally fine since I do try to utilize the mechanism of Equalizer rule-set. The key concept that I mentioned was trying to pick some monsters with lower mana cost but better stats in attack and ability. I did try that and the main reason lead to the loss of battle as the difference of level in deck. Most of my monsters are level 1 and with floor stats, however, my enemy got lots of upgraded cards so that the loss is possibly inevitable at the end. But anyways, lesson learned. And hopefully I can build up a better deck to perform better in the future.
