In this week's battle challenge! We will be looking at Pelacor Arbalest in bronze. This life splinter is a glass cannon and will need to be protected.
First we'll start by looking at his stats
When looking at his stats, you understand why he needs protection in bronze. And all the way up to champion. His health is one sneak or opportunity attack from dying. His mana cost is high. His speed is slow. But the damage with double strike is a killer. Yes later on he gets flying, but this only helps so much.
Here take a look at this battle with Pelacor Arbalest. And why I chose to use him in this situation.
In this battle I chose to use Life Splinter, with General Sloan as my Summoner. I chose Life Splinter because of the ruleset Even Stevens(this ruleset only allows for even mana cards to be played). And being in bronze with beginner cards my choices were limited. Life Splinter has the most even mana cards to formulate a good team. Next was a about positioning cards. I needed to get Pelacor Arbalest some breathing room to inflict his double strike. So I put cards with a little more health in front. Then I added
Time Mage for the speed reduction, Venari Crystalsmith for heals, and Celestial Harpy with dodge chance just in case they attacked my backline first with sneak. Click the link to see if it worked out.

Final thoughts on Pelacor Arbalest!
This is a very necessary card in bronze. It will help win a lot of mid-mana and high mana battles. I would definitely recommend buying this card. I use this card quite often in bronze. If damage is what you are looking for this card is your friend. Just don't forget get to protect him!
