What’s up my fellow splinterlandians!
I hope most of you are currently putting all of your brain power and tactics into splinterlands because less than 1 day left only for this current season to end. The competition right now in ranked matches is very tight now and even in Diamond I, as I am playing now, I am getting impenetrable lineups from opponents and the win to lose ratio is only a little above 60% I guess.
I am currently battling at 3664 trophies and only 36 more trophies I need in order to reach the mighty Champ tier. But my ECR is badly hurt and currently sitting at 54% as I stopped playing and blocked it from going below 50%. With a recent update, the splinterlands team has changed the decrease rate of ECR when below 50% and per match played, the EXR bar will decrease 5% and not 1% like it does normally. So, be very cautious when playing for hours so that you don't damage you ECR down to 10-20% like I did last season.
Now, taking a look at the current crypto market, the dominator BTC is currently trading at 24,113$ with a decent +4.2% price growth within the last 7 days. The other market giant ETH has also experienced a bug pump and touched 2000$ and right now trading for 1,910$ with a +12.4% price ruse within last 7 days. Our hive also doing well and maintaining its position above 0.6$ with a current price of 0.634.$ per unit with a +4.4% price change within last week.
Now, let’s take a look at the splinterlands tokens prices to see how they are performing right now. The main in-game token DEC is currently being trade for 0.000578$ per unit and hasn't changed much value since last week. On the other hand, SPS aka Splintershards has lost a little bit of value and right now being traded for 0.075$ per unit with a -10.3% price decrease in last 7 days. Vouchers are selling for 0.48$ per unit and splinterlands Chaos packs on Hive-engine is still selling for cheap1.9$ per pack. Lastly, SPS has gained a decent about of value and currently being sold around 0.0001$ per unit on H-E.
GRUND
Now, let us move towards my main theme of this post as today, I am going to showcase another amazing Chaos monster with you all. As you have already guessed from the thumbnail, today I am going to talk about Grund, an awesome giant melee monster that is currently creating wave in splinterlands ranked and tournaments, especially in modern format.
it is a Epic earth unit monster belongs to the Chaos Group. This monster is known as a heavy weight defender and is used generally to defend the front. This monster needs 10 mana to join any battle. It is an melee monster which has 3 speed with 11 health and 3 melee power along with Double Strike ability from the beginning stage and Trample & Cripple later on.
BRONZE
This monster needs 4 epic cards to reach into bronze stage or level 2. On this stage, this monster increases health from 10 to 11 along with 3 melee and 3 speed. It also hold the Double Strike from level 1.
SILVER
This monster needs 10 epic cards to reach into silver stage or level 3. On this stage, this monster increases its melee attack power from 3 to 4 along with 3 speed and 11 health combining with the Double Strike ability.
GOLD
At gold tier or level 5, this monster equips another ability of Trample (from level 4) along with 4 melee attack at 12 health and 3 speed along with the Double strike ability.
CHAMP
Monster needs a total 46 epic cards to reach the maximum level 6 or Diamond / Champ tier. On this level, this monster equips another ability of Cripple along with 13 health with 4 melee attack at 3 speed.
IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT GRUND
It's a heavy defensive monster among the Earth region that we can access from the chaos. Because of it's gigantic health, it ca be used for front defence in many situations.
This monster carries 3 abilities on the max level of it's journey, Which helps it to perform an extraordinary stat and gruesome attacks towards Enemy monster.
With the help of the Double Strike ability, this Monster attacks twice each round. Coupling this ability with it's high melee damage, this monster can even kill the mightiest monsters in splinterlands.
The Trample ability is another gem for this monster. When a monster with trample hits and kills its great, it will perform another attack on the next Monster on the enemy team. Because of the Double Strike ability, the chance to unlock it's trample is even better.
Lastly, with the Cripple ability, Each time an enemy is hits by a monster with Cripple ability, it loses one max health. So over time, it will make it target monster more and more weaker on health.
MARKET STAT
It's a very useful monster for big mana Battles therefore it's value with per bcx is around $2.15 and will cost you about 3,694.158 DEC and onwards. The maximum level cards are around $83 cost. On the other side the gold foil price of this card is around $18.44 for a level 2 (1 BCX) monster.

Battle Begins
ROUND 1
On the first round and after both mine and the opponent's monsters got their all abilities and disabilities, my Battering ram attacked first and damaged enemy Stitch Leech and my Khmer princess then damaged the enemy front monster Blinding and got damaged back by it's Reflect ability. After that, my Acid Shooter damaged the enemy Pelacor, followed by the Enemy Venari which damaged my Grund. Next, My main Monster Grund damaged the enemy Blinding monster and destroyed it by it's twice attack and then, with the help of it's trample ability, the Mighty Grund performed another hit towards the enemy monster Pelacor and damaged it., followed by the enemy monster Stitch Leech which attacked and destroyed my poor Acid Shooter. Then at Last, the enemy monster Dax damaged my main Defender monster and the round ended here.
ROUND 2
On this round, first the enemy Pelacor got destroyed by poison effect and my Khmer princess then shoots and damaged enemy Blinding monster. After that, my main Monster Grund attacked and destroyed the enemy Pelacor Along with the enemy stitch Leech monster. My monster then also performed another hit towards enemy Venari & Chaos Agent and Also destroyed them 2 back to back by the help of its abilities. Yes! On a single row, my main Monster Grund destroyed all the 4 enemy monsters one by one in a single round so you do know it's true potential now!
It was really a special and very important match to me. It was the first time that I got 4 consecutive kills with Grund and after this, certainly my love for Grund and reliability upon it has increased exponentially a lot. Do you also have this fearless Giant in your collection? Do you also use him in your battles or you prefer other monsters over it ? Let me know your opinions in the comment below and I will be seeing you all in my next post!
Wish you all good luck on all of your future Splinterlands matches.

Very interesting post, I myself play silver where I never thought to use this unit because when someone plays it is mostly with mages, however after reading all this information, I think that maybe sometimes it is worth to change the strategy
