Hi all,
Introduction
Another post in this series. Thank you for your support in the previous posts 😊
This series intends to determine if there are other aspects of cards that may contribute to increasing its value. Based on your feedback I can focus on more/other things – so feel free to tell me where you want me to go into further detail.
I include some analysis on where the cards fit in terms of gameplay, strategy, comparison with other cards, and a market analysis of its price. Feel free to suggest what more do you want me to look into in this series, and your support is much appreciated!
In this edition I will be looking at the Disintegrator.
Gameplay Analysis
The Disintegrator is a Common Neutral monster from the Chaos Legion set. This card is recognized for its ability to weaken enemy melee attacks and its potential for high damage output, making it a strategic addition to various team compositions.
Mana Cost: 5
Attack Type: Melee
Abilities:
Level 1: Demoralize – Reduces the melee attack of all enemy monsters by 1.
Level 6: Trample – When this monster hits and kills its target, it performs another attack on the next enemy.
The Disintegrator's ability progression enhances its role from a debuffer to a formidable attacker capable of chaining attacks.
Level-Based Insights
Level 1: With 1 Melee attack, 1 Speed, 6 Health, and the Demoralize ability, it serves as a durable debuffer, reducing enemy melee effectiveness.
Level 3: Melee attack increases to 2, improving its offensive capabilities.
Level 6: Gains the Trample ability, allowing it to potentially attack multiple enemies in a single turn.
Level 10: Melee attack further increases to 3, enhancing its damage output and effectiveness with Trample.
Comparative Analysis
How does the Disintegrator compare to other Neutral melee monsters?
Vs. Sand Worm: While both have high attack potential, Sand Worm focuses on single-target damage with Sneak, whereas Disintegrator offers team-wide utility by reducing enemy melee attacks and potentially attacking multiple targets with Trample.
Vs. Goblin Mech: Goblin Mech boasts higher health and the Piercing ability, but Disintegrator's Demoralize provides a strategic advantage by weakening all enemy melee attackers.
Key Takeaway
The Disintegrator is a versatile Neutral monster that combines debuffing and offensive capabilities, making it valuable in weakening melee-centric enemy teams and capitalizing on opportunities to chain attacks.
Synergies
The Disintegrator pairs effectively with:
Speed Buffers: Monsters like Kelya Frendul can increase its speed, improving the chances of landing attacks and triggering Trample.
Stun Users: Combining with monsters that have the Stun ability can set up enemies for double damage if the Disintegrator possesses the Knock Out ability at higher levels.
Taunt Tanks: Placing it alongside Taunt monsters can protect the Disintegrator, allowing it to apply its debuff and execute attacks effectively.
Ruleset Performance
Favorable Rulesets:
Melee Mayhem: Allows melee attacks from any position, maximizing Disintegrator's utility.
Equal Opportunity: Its moderate attack and health make it a strong contender under this ruleset.
Challenging Rulesets:
Back to Basics: Negates abilities, stripping it of Demoralize and Trample, reducing its effectiveness.
Little League: Exceeds the mana cap for this ruleset, making it ineligible for selection.
Market Analysis
Price Overview
Regular Foil: Approximately $0.01 per BCX.
Gold Foil: Approximately $0.01 per BCX.
Investment Potential
The Disintegrator's affordability and utility in various battle scenarios make it a valuable addition for players seeking to enhance their lineups. Its demand is influenced by its effectiveness as a debuffer and potential for high damage output.
Conclusion
The Disintegrator offers a blend of debuffing and offensive capabilities, making it a versatile asset in Splinterlands battles. Its progression from a melee attack reducer to a potential multi-target attacker allows it to adapt to various team strategies and rulesets.
