Legendary Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut is the one card that doesn't just demoralise my cards—it demoralises me. In all my time on Splinterlands, I have never encountered a card more powerful than this one—and you don't even need to see it at its maximum level to realise that. If I have fought 100 battles against this card to date, I have likely won only two or three of them; this is because I possess neither this specific card nor any other card capable of effectively countering it. Winning becomes almost impossible, particularly in battles where this card is paired with a healer, as you simply cannot inflict damage fast enough to outpace the health it restores. Furthermore, its massive health pool makes it virtually impossible for your own units to survive on the battlefield. I have faced this card at various levels, and its USP (unique selling point)—its massive health—is present right from Level 1. Battling against it is a big headache, as there are many instances where this single card manages to wipe out your entire team all by itself.
That is precisely why, whenever I see this card pitted against me, I feel instantly demoralised; for no matter how well-constructed my team is, defeating this card proves to be incredibly difficult. So, in today's battle as well, the moment I spotted this card on the opposing side, I had already given up all hope of victory. However—as you all know—I make it a point to watch every single one of my battles; so, I sat down to observe, and things were unfolding exactly as I had witnessed in the past. Whatever damage my cards managed to inflict upon it, its support card completely nullified and recovered in a single heal. Yet, there was one significant difference this time: my team comprised three heavy attackers, whereas the opponent had focused their entire strategy on a defensive stance. Consequently, they lacked the cards necessary to deal substantial damage to my team, which ultimately allowed my cards to successfully knock out this "legendary wall" of the enemy's fortress in the very next round.
Consequently, you can clearly see for yourself that the opposing team simply lacks the cards necessary to sustain an offensive stance; in fact—with the sole exception of Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut—there isn't a single other card on the enemy side capable of providing adequate defence. Their fully attack-oriented cards possess only 1 or 2 Magic Power, while their card boasting 4 Melee Attack is saddled with the 'Weary' ability, meaning it cannot execute an attack during every round. Thus, you could consider this specific card the second—and final—defensive wall of the opposing team; beyond it, however, there remains absolutely no card capable of shielding the enemy from the onslaught of my cards. So—whether by sheer luck or strategic design—I have once again emerged victorious in a battle against the legendary Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut.
