**Hello Splinterlands** ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUa8raRX4L2HASYfSFunTdGiu3iMzWNZfZaTmXgAwNFPQ/image.png) *This is ``RAA`` a death legendary monster that belongs to the Riftwatchers edition, It is one of my favorite giant monsters... My favorite monsters are chosen based on the abilities they possess, am a fan of poison and double strike.* *It seems they took time to design ``Raa`` because of the 5 amazing abilities it was given which can be brutal when used in a suitable battle rule set. Let us get to know these abilities.* ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQma4bTN8mCZ7C8mQ4eNMjKPUsKEmtHR5tm2shzs54ui9eo/image.png) ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeTStsbB6361zyTyhCDoMh6m3tGtU377YK79owh1GndGY/image.png) *The first ability is ``Flying`` which is good in ``earthquake`` rules and also it reduces the chances of non-flying monsters hitting it in battle.* ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTTcJBzqkj9Ezn3iBEvM42HL3gAAhCkzwScaPGaWmLhU3/image.png) *This is the ``Double strike`` one of my favorite abilities, it allows the monster to attack twice in a round, which means if a monster has 4 attack power, it will do 8 attack damage cos of the double strike, it is an ability used to start chaos.* ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeZ1oZMa89nwdBEoWpKL1dSa7gektMstZLUVAiyQzPtwK/image.png) *Attacks being unpredictable can be very useful times when the monster hits the right monsters, This ability just lets the monster attack the opponent monsters randomly, it is called `` scatter shot`` and it helped a great deal in the battle I am still going to show below.* ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTSgSGvjWWZTq4tcyiCspvrJ8Zh7mPsARnuchCUSx8zoe/image.png) *The ``Giant killer`` ability is very fatal to monsters that have ten mana or above, it does double damage to them.* ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWUe4T4skemVeycgMdgHh5D2ef32wqJaTaB6jhaVMkHHb/image.png) *Last but not least, the ``rust`` ability that takes away 2 armor from all the opponent monsters giving my monster chance to penetrate without any armor barrier.* *All these abilities made ``Raa`` a very powerful monster that one needs to be wary of in battles.* ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQUCDngo5aXcnM7aZ2EjtrFHdh21DW63WxdsPoQzABi7P/image.png) [battle link](https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sm_zixUIe2xt71BCNZc6Klg) *I had a battle with ``Tg-ibin`` in a one-rule set battle which is **Armored up** all monsters have 2 armor in addition to their normal armor stats.* *I came with the ``byzantine kitty`` and used monsters with ``healing and triage`` so the opponent wouldn't be able to defeat my tank nor would it be able to eliminate any of my rear monsters.* *My main two attackers were ``Raa, Chaos Dragon and Gem Meteor ``, both have the scattershot ability, meaning that there will be so many attacks flying around without anyone knowing on which monsters they would land.* ``Raa`` *was the monster of the battle, it executed most of the killings, and I was excited when it eliminated the opponent Chaos Dragon and the victory was mine!*
