Introduction

Another weekly challenge released (Splinterlands, 2022), this time about a Neutral Card of Chaos Legion Set, the Magi of Chaos:

• Oppress: Doubles damage against non-attacking monsters.

The Magi of Chaos is a card that can fit into many compositions due to its Neutral nature. With a good ratio between magic attack and HP, it ends up being very interesting when the Back to Basics rule is active. From Lvl 05 he acquires the Oppress ability, becoming an important ally against monsters without attack (many of them that have the Magic Reflect ability). Its weak point is its low movement speed, a common trait among magic attack cards.

The strategy before the battle

The battle had Melee Mayhem and Explosive Weaponry rules active, 44 MP available, and only Fire, Death and Dragon Splinters were enabled. With Explosive Weaponry active I looked to add the Scattershot ability to my allies to increase Blast damage. For this I counted on the summoner Conqueror Jacek, who in addition to the Scattershot provides 02 movement speed and the Piercing ability.

Recalling the strategy adopted in Greengineer (2022-a), I tried to put a tank with the Phase skill to take advantage of the movement speed provided by Jacek, in this case the Almo Cambio. To further increase the speed difference between my team and my opponent's I put Supply Runner and Countess Sinash in the last 02 positions with Swiftness skill and Venator Kinjo in second position with Slow. Venator Kinjo would also annulated damage from enemy Blast on an eventual hit on Almo Cambio with its Reflection Shield ability. In fourth position I placed Lava Launcher with Close Range and Stun and in third position was Magi of Chaos with Oppress.

With this team it was possible to dodge most of my opponent's attacks, which would result in less Blast. My team would do some damage in the middle of the enemy team with Scattershot.

Once the team was assembled, I hoped my opponent didn't come with Byzantine Kitty and luckily for me, that didn't happen.

The Battle

My opponent came with Summoner Tarsa, with Living Lava as a Shield tank. In second position was Antoid Platoon with Shield and Scavenger. In third position was Tenyii Striker with Sneak and Dodge. In fourth position he placed Disintegrator with Demoralize and Trample. In fifth position was Elven Defender with Shield and in last position was Lava Launcher with Close Range and Stun.

My opponent was looking to take advantage of the Melee Mayhem rule and protected himself as if I was going to take advantage of this rule. As my goal was to shoot randomly with the Scattershot, the defense with 02 tanks with Shield wouldn't get in my way. Another point was that my opponent's movement speed was low, which would cause him to miss several attacks against my allies.

In the first round, no monsters were killed. My opponent missed all attacks.

In the second round the Disintegrator was eliminated by my Lava Launcher. In the sequence, Tenyii Striker managed to hit my Supply Runner, taking him out of the game. Almo Cambio was hit by Living Lava.

In the third round, the Magi of Chaos eliminated the Elven Defender and took away the Tenyii Striker and Lava Launcher with Blast damage. Almo Cambio was hit again by Living Lava.

In the fourth round, the Magi of Chaos eliminated Antoid Platoon, increasing his kill count to 04.

In the fifth round Living Lava was eliminated by Lava Launcher, guaranteeing my victory.

The strategy proved effective, ensuring the survival of almost all my allies. The Magi of Chaos played an excellent role in eliminating 04 monsters in the match.

Introdução

Mais um desafio semanal lançado (Splinterlands, 2022), desta vez sobre uma carta neutra do Set Chaos Legion, o Magi of Chaos:

• Oppress: Dobra o dano contra monstros sem ataque.

O Magi of Chaos é uma carta que pode se encaixar em diversas composições devido à sua natureza Neutra. Com uma boa relação entre o ataque mágico e o HP, ele acaba sendo muito interessante quando a regra Back to Basics está ativa. A partir do Lvl 05 ele adquire a habilidade Oppress, se tornando um importante aliado contra monstros sem ataque (muitos deles que possuem a habilidade Magic Reflect). Seu ponto fraco é sua baixa velocidade de movimento, uma característica comum entre as cartas com ataque mágico.

A estratégia antes da batalha

A batalha possuía as regras Melee Mayhem e Explosive Weaponry ativas, 44 de MP disponíveis e apenas os Splinters do Fogo, da Morte e do Dragão estavam habilitados. Com Explosive Weaponry ativo busquei adicionar a habilidade Scattershot aos meus aliados para aumentar o estrago do Blast. Para isto contei com o invocador Conqueror Jacek, que além do Scattershot providencia 02 de velocidade de movimento e a habilidade Piercing.

Lembrando a estratégia adotada em Greengineer (2022-a), busquei colocar um tanque com a habilidade Phase para se aproveitar da velocidade de movimento proporcionada pelo Jacek, no caso o Almo Cambio. Para aumentar ainda mais a diferença de velocidade entre minha equipe e a de meu oponente eu coloquei o Supply Runner e a Countess Sinash nas 02 últimas posições com a habilidade Swiftness e o Venator Kinjo na segunda posição com Slow. O Venator Kinjo também seguraria o dano do Blast inimigo em um eventual acerto no Almo Cambio com sua habilidade Reflection Shield. Na quarta posição coloquei o Lava Launcher com Close Range e Stun e na terceira posição estava o Magi of Chaos com Oppress.

Com este time era possível desviar de boa parte dos ataques de meu oponente, o que resultaria menos Blast. Já minha equipe faria um estrago no meio da equipe inimiga com o Scattershot.

Uma vez montado o time era torcer que meu oponente não viesse com o Byzantine Kitty e pra minha sorte isto não aconteceu.

A batalha

Meu oponente veio com a Summoner Tarsa, com o Living Lava como tanque com Shield. Na segunda posição estava o Antoid Platoon com Shield e Scavenger. Na terceira posição havia o Tenyii Striker com Sneak e Dodge. Na quarta posição ele colocou o Disintegrator com Demoralize e Trample. Na quinta posição estava o Elven Defender com Shield e na última posição do Lava Launcher com Close Range e Stun.

Meu oponente buscava se aproveitar da regra Melee Mayhem e se protegia como se eu fosse me aproveitar desta regra. Como meu objetivo era atirar aleatoriamente com o Scattershot, a defesa com 02 tanques com Shield não iria me atrapalhar. Outro ponto era que a velocidade de movimento de meu oponente era baixa, o que faria com que ele errasse vários ataques contra meus aliados.

No primeiro round nenhum monstro foi abatido. Meu oponente errou todos os ataques.

No segundo round o Disintegrator foi eliminado pelo meu Lava Launcher. Na sequência o Tenyii Striker conseguiu acertar meu Supply Runner, tirando ele da partida. O Almo Cambio foi atingido pelo Living Lava.

No terceiro round o Magi of Chaos eliminou o Elven Defender e de brinde levou o Tenyii Striker e o Lava Launcher com o dano do Blast. O Almo Cambio foi atingido novamente pelo Living Lava.

No quarto round o Magi of Chaos eliminou o Antoid Platoon, aumentando sua contagem de abates para 04.

No quinto round o Living Lava foi eliminado pelo Lava Launcher, garantindo a minha vitória.

A estratégia se mostrou eficaz, garantindo a sobrevivência de quase todos os meus aliados. O Magi of Chaos fez um excelente papel ao eliminar 04 monstros na partida.
