Hello all splinter-players. This is my 3rd entry to the share your battle challenge. This weeks challenge is using the card "Supply Runner".
These are his statistics
”"""""""""" Supply Runner (Level 1)
Edition: Chaos Legion
Splinter: Neutral
Rarity: Common
Attack: Ranged
Mana: 6
HP: 5
Armor: 0
Speed: 3
Abilities: None on this level
Supply Runner is a neutral unit and can be paired with any splinter/summoner that you are using. However, being a ranged attacker with a relatively high mana cost of 6, you'd probably not want him using up your mana unless you're planning for the range attacks to be your primary damage.
Also, he doesn't carry any abilities unless you've got him leveled up to 6. Looking into the future with enhanced speed (level 6) and enhanced HP (level 10) for the whole squad ,I imagine this card will become a go to neutral unit simply for his abilities.
However, even on the lower levels this card has a good amount of speed. This would give you a jump on the enemy tank which could make a big difference in a match. Check out my battle link to see what I feel is the best use for this card.

The Strategy
The supply runner is best used as a support monster. In the higher levels this card will offer the ability to increase both speed and HP for the whole team. This will afford a great advantage to any team. Being a neutral unit will allow you to use this card with any splinter or summoner.
But my battle will show "Supply Runner"
being used as a level 1 card. This means he is only going to have a ranged attack with no abilities. The best way to use ranged attacks is with the summoner "General Sloane" who adds an additional attack point for all ranged attacks. With this additional attack power and multiple ranged attackers you can deal a large amount of damage in every round. Be sure to check out my battle link to see a victory over a frequently used very strong magic team. Paired with the "Venari Crystalsmith" and "Shieldbearer", whose abilities keep the enemy attacks away from the backfield, you'll be able to send multiple ranged attacks which are increased by "General Sloane". This strategy works great as long as your enemies tank is not a monster with a high speed. Faster monsters will be missed by too many ranged attacks for this to be effective.
Thanks for reading. Be sure to check out the Battle link to see how everything plays out.
