Heyyy yooooo
what's up Splinter Player around the world how are you doing?
I want to share as player in community even though i am not pro player in Splinterlands. But, at least i have some experience playing this game. As you can see you can be a great player and overpowered player when you have the latest edition of the nft in this game is cards. Yeah like the latest summoner in Splinterlands Universe called Elias Max Pruitt. This is the latest summoner that comes out in this games. Overpowered?? Yes of course. Beatable?? yes of course.
Sometimes not all newest card can be trully overpowered if dont have finding the good meta yet.

This time i will sharing my battle that can won againts the latest summoner that overpowered using the old card. But back again, the reason of the latest card lose because still not finding the good meta. If the meta founded, of course it cannot be beaten again. Or i can say that the win rate will be above 60%. Like the combination of Lily Shieldpaw and Grimbandun and Rage. Thats meta is called cheat meta nowdays. It will be very hard to beaten. Especially when normal player cannot see who the opponent and cannot see what they bring unless you are using cheat called Battle Helper. About that cheat i dont know very much that the cheat is still exist or not. But, i believe the cheater still exist since dev player did not announce that this games is fully clean from cheater and botter.
Okay lets talk about new Summoner Elias Max Pruitt

Lets talk about the benefit using this summoner. The first benefit is this summoner can bring 2 element that is Water element which is the strongest element in this universe. Then the second is Life element, the best defence element. So, it can be pretty beast combination of attack and defence using this summoner. Also this summoner giving buff for melee attack by one and 1 armor. Also additional gives ones monster 2 additional ability. The first is Repair and Cleanse or Armored Strike and Piercing. Okay whats make this summoner Overpowered because this summoner can gives the second option that gives Armored Strike and Piercing. That will be very hard to beat. Especially gives piercing ability too. So if the armor having excess the defence it will gives direct hit to health. Thats will be hard to defence against monster like that. But, this ability have weakness. That is Shattered ability that can destroy any stacked armor in every monster. So the counter of this summoner will be this summoner called Immortalis

Yeah this summoner is kinda destroyer for the Ellias Max Pruitt.
with giving all the monster Shattered ability, all the armor will be useless. But, maybe not in all ruleset that Immortalis can hold the newest summoner. Ruleset like Melee Mayheem or Super Sneak or Equal Opportunity will hardly to defends against Armored Strike.Okay letss see the example of the battle between Immortalis and Elias shall we?

Strategy Phase

In this battle i am using Immortalis as summoner and pretty good combination that will make looping to regenerated my armor using pretty good monster. So, this 4 monster as my key monster in this battle.

I am using Chaos edition reward card called Pelacor Mercenary as frontline tanker. This monster is really good as tanker because this monster having flying ability that can adding this monster chance to dodge any range or melee attack. Also this monster having heal ability that can helping this monster holding as a tanker. And the last that will very helpfull is Retaliate ability that will have chance to counter any melee attack. And also this monster is really safe from Forcefield ability since the attack is just 3. And having 11 health is can make this monster have some durability.


For the second monster that really important in my strategy is Junker this monster having 4 melee attack and having reach ability that can make this monster still can attacking the frontline tanker if placed in second position. So this is the secondary attacker that can helping my frontline tanker. Also this monster really can be a pretty good support for my frontline tanker because this monster having repair ability. So, the opponent will losing one attack every turn that must be hitting the armor first. And if the opponent missing attacking my frontline tanker it will make my Frontline tanker having survival chance higher.


The main attacker that very helpfull in my team is Venari Seedsmith this monster having just 2 ability. But, somehow this ability is really helpfull for teamates. The Scavenger ability can really helpfull to be a tanker if the battle will be played at late game. Since many monster die and this monster will be frontliner, the Maximum health will be increasing much more. And when the maximum health of this monster is a lot. It will be very hard to beat this monster with just single turn. And it will buying time to another teammates gives attack to opponent line up. Also this monster having poison ability that can gives opponent that got hit by this monster poison status that can get 2 damages each turn. And the range attack of this monster is safe from Forcefield ability.


Of course i am not forgot to bring Mycelic Slipspawn . This monster is really strong especially this monster having Forcefield ability that can compress any attack above 4 to be just 1. Thats why nowdays it is very hard to bringing monster that having attack above 4. Because meta right now always bringing Forcefield ability monster. And if player bringing monster that having over 4 damage attack more than one. It will be super useless in battlefield. Because it will be compressed to be 1 attack only. Especially when opponent bringing monster that having traige ability that can heal this monster. Thats will be very hard to beat this monster.

Battlephase

his time i am encountered with player that from Plan B guild. The Champion player and i know that is very hard to beat player from champion league.

Screenshot (3648).png

And in this battle as you can see the picture above,having 3 ruleset. The first ruleset is Rise of Commons that means both player can only using Common and rare monster only but still can using summoner above rare. The second ruleset is Target Practice that means all non melee monster will having snipe ability. The last but not least is Armored Up that means all monster will get 2 armor buff from the original armor. The manacap that can be used in this battle is 44 which is pretty average. And the only element that cannot be used in this battle is Fire element.

My Line Up

Screenshot (3649).png

  • Immortalis as Summoner
  • Pelacor Mercenary as Frontline Tanker
  • Junker as Support Attacker
  • Halaran Huntress as Attacker
  • Venari Seedsmith as Attacker
  • Goblin Psychic as Support
  • Mycelic Slipspawn as Taunt Tanker

Opponent Line Up

Screenshot (3650).png

  • Elias Max Pruitt as summoner
  • Silverblade Fighter as Frontline Tanker
  • Arkemis The Bear as Second Tanker
  • Grimbandun Smith as Tanker
  • Nimbledook Explorer as Support Attacker
  • Venari Wavesmith as Support Attacker
  • Merdaali Guardian as Support

Looking on opponent strategy is kinda far from called strategy. Maybe this opponent just trying to use the newest Summoner. Many people make the fomo and said that the new summoner is OP thats why many people just want to try using that summoner. If only i am not using Immortalis maybe the oppponent strategy will be very beast. Since look the armor that the opponent got. And 3 monster with Protect ability that giving total 6 additional armor and 2 from ruleset. The total will be 8 armor. And if i am not using Immortalis this time. Maybe in just one hit, my monster will be dead.

So, the summary of this battle is yeah i won this battle because the opponent lack of attacker. The only attacker is just Silverblade Fighter and Venari Wavesmith only. The others are support. And because i am using Immortalis, so the opponent armor will be easily broke. And also the opponent wrongly giving ability to Silverblade Knight. if only opponent gives the ability to Arkemis The Bear maybe i cannot survive this battle. Since the total Arkemis Bear can damage twice using armor and melee attack. And i just depending on luck based on flying ability and speed different.

Conclution

As i said before that dont FOMO to new card. Just see the ability and the meta first. But, if you want to trying making new meta it is okay to lose first. But, dont forget that newest card usually and almost all of it are OP. So, my suggest is still need to bought the newest card. Or at least you need to rent it first to try. If you want to test drive the newest card.
