I woke up this morning and one of the first things I did was go to the bathroom and poop. While sitting there I was browsing the Axie marketplace on my phone... and I saw something interesting.
An Axie... a new Flux Bird? Something different, like nothing I've tried before. It has some drawbacks, but also some strong suits... could this be the one??
Behold, Mosquito Bird
Here's the bird.
It's got just enough shield to survive some backdoors and pull off Egg plays. While 56 speed is slower than fish, the bird has a surprising ability to reheal, cycle cards, and stay ahead.
There are some big drawbacks, balloon on a 56 speed bird is very tricky and mosquito bird is unheard of as far as I know. I really think this can work in the right team.
Also it only cost 0.02 ETH, about $70, really cheap :-P
Experimenting Takes Time
I can't solve the entire build overnight, but today feels like I am definitely getting closer to some kind of good cohesive team build. Excited to spend the next week learning and exploring how to pilot the Scaly Spoon team using this bird. I think it might be able to get to top 1k with proper piloting... even though I know it sounds a bit crazy.
To this day I don't understand how fear works. What does it mean for an axie to be defending?
Fear means you miss your next attack. If any Axies on your team do an attack, it counts as one fear charge. So if your front Axie is in fear, but your middle Axie uses a card first, then fear will go away with that card. You only miss an attack if the Axie that has fear is the first one to act
Sorry, missworded myself. Was wondering how fear works on baloon card.
It works exactly like I explained in my other comment. If that doesnt make sense try looking up a guide maybe
