Splinterlands Weekly Battle Challenge

Kulu Swimhunter

This week's challenge recruits a water card: Kulu Swimhunter.

------------------------------------------> Link to watch battle <-----------------------------------------

---

The Setup:

---

Unprotected : Monsters do not have any Armor and do not get Armor from Abilities or Summoner Buffs

---

A closer look at my Water line-up...

(-----1st-----)

Pros:

• moderate attack/speed with Trample ability
• significant resilience with combined Health+Armor pools
• Enrage ability increases Speed and attack potency greatly

Cons:

• Slightly vulnerable to magic attacks

---

TRAMPLE : when a monster with Trample hits and kills its target, it will perform another attack on the next Monster on the enemy team

---

ENRAGE : Has increased Melee attack and Speed when damaged

---

(-----2nd-----)

Hardy Stonefish is a cheap, 1 mana cost card that can be great for soaking up extra damage in areas that may need protection. In this line-up it's intended use was as an emergency, last-resort 2nd-position tank.

---

(-----3rd-----)

Pros:

• High attack
• Opportunity picks off the weakest monster
• Great Health pool for survivability

---

Opportunity : Monsters with the Opportunity ability may attack from any position and will target the enemy Monster with the lowest Health

---

(-----4th-----)

The Kulu Swimhunter is a great card that isn't widely used. Whenever I want to send a bit more damage to the frontline with only a few mana, this is a great choice. It has great Speed, and a high Health pool which increases its chance of surviving a few hits; can be used with decent success as Sneak defense

---

(-----5th-----)

Pros

• Awesomely balanced ranger with moderate Speed, damage and Health
• Extra Team-Speed from Swiftness ability

---

Swiftness : All friendly Monsters have increased Speed

---

(-----6th-----)

Amazing card for providing backline support, and can even act as additional sneak defense

---

Triage : Heals the friendly back-line Monster that has taken the most damage

---

Round 2 Start

In the first round...

• Enemy Opportunity monster takes out our extra defense (Hardy Stonefish)
• Diemonshark gets enraged and dodges 3 attacks
• Enemy tank is severely damaged

---

Round 3 Start

• Enemy tank and back-up tank destroyed
• Friendly tank suffers significant damage, but dodges attacks to stay alive

---

Victory!

Extremely satisfying victory after more dodges, and trample-kills from our Diemonshark. The game-strategy worked amazingly well, and we were able to receive the win in this Silver Ranked battle.

I love fast/Water teams, and this one proved victorious. I hope you enjoyed the post and I appreciate your time and attention!

Until the next one! Cheers!
