This week, in the Share your Battle challenge, we go to the depths of the ocean to analyze Kulu Swimhunter. A card from, obviously, water deck with a ranged attack and that will face a land deck full of dangerous cards to deal with. We meet a hunter of the deep, we meet Kulu Swimhunter this week.
Esta semana, en el reto Share your Battle, nos trasladamos a las profundidades del océano para analizar a Kulu Swinhunter. Una carta del, evidentemente, mazo de agua con ataque a distancia y que tendrá enfrente a un mazo de tierra plagado de cartas peligrosas a las que hacer frente. Conocemos a un cazador de las profundidades, conocemos esta semana a Kulu Swinhunter.
KULU SWINHUNTER
THE CARD
We are using the water deck again in the weekly challenge. A deck, which, as you all know, is the one I handle the most in Splinterlands and the one I have the most evolved. Although Kulu Swimhunter is not one of the cards I use the most. As a card with a ranged attack I use Axemaster before this hunter of the depths.
Volvemos a utilizar el mazo de agua en el reto semanal. Un mazo, que como ya todos conocéis, es el que más manejo en Splinterlands y el que tengo más evolucionado. Si bien no es Kulu Swimhunter una de las cartas que más utilizo. Como carta con ataque a distancia utilizo a Axemaster antes que este cazador de las profundidades.
Kulu, as usual in the Share Your Battle challenge, is a card of common rarity. Belonging to the water deck. It is a card with an attack and acceptable life to be common and the mana cost it has, just 4 points, although its two speed points may be short. In the global computation of its statistics, it is a good card in terms of the relationship between stats and mana cost. It offers many possibilities for 4 points of summon cost. Its weak point is that it does not provide any type of ability, not at level 1 but also at the maximum level of evolution. Although at level 10 it adds 4 attack points, 5 speed and 6 life.
Kulu, como viene siendo habitual en el reto Share Your Battle, es una carta de rareza común. Perteneciente al mazo de agua. Es una carta con un ataque y vida aceptable para ser común y el coste de mana que tiene, apenas 4 puntos, si bien se pueden quedar escasos sus dos puntos de velocidad. En el computo global de sus estadísticas, es una buena carta en cuanto a la relación estadísticas - coste de maná. Ofrece muchas posibilidades por 4 puntos de coste de invocación. Su punto débil es que no aporta ningún tipo de habilidad, no ya en el nivel 1 sino que tampoco lo hace en el nivel máximo de evolución. Aunque a nivel 10 suma 4 puntos de ataque, 5 de velocidad y 6 de vida.
As a card with a ranged attack, it has few variations in terms of its positioning in the lane. The further back we place Kulu Swimhunter, the more chances he has to deal more damage and survive more rounds. It goes without saying that monsters with a ranged attack cannot attack from the first position unless the combat rule states so. As it does not have special abilities, it will always attack the rival tank, so it will have to be accompanied by other cards with sneak, opportunity or snipe to have versatility in our lineup.
Como carta con ataque a distancia que es tiene pocas variaciones en cuanto a su posicionamiento en la alineación. Cuanto más atrás coloquemos a Kulu Swimhunter más posibilidades tendrá que causar más daño y de sobrevivir a más rondas. No es necesario recordar que los monstruos con ataque a distancia no pueden atacar desde la primera posición salvo que lo establezca así la regla de combate. Al no tener habilidades especiales siempre atacará al tanque rival por lo que tendrá que ir acompañado de otras cartas con sneak, opportunity o snipe para tener versatilidad en nuestra alineación.
THE KULU SWIMHUNTER'S ABILITIES
This is a very well balanced card. With an adjusted summon cost and providing acceptable abilities for a common card. There are not many cards with 2 attack points and 4 life points for 4 mana points. The speed, also two points, is acceptable. In short, it is a very compensated card whose weak point is that it does not provide additional ability. If he provided it, it is certain that it would not be a common card and it would be rare.
Estamos ante una carta muy bien equilibrada. Con un coste de invocación ajustado y que proporciona unas habilidades aceptables para una carta común. No abundan las cartas con 2 puntos de ataque y 4 de vida por 4 puntos de maná. la velocidad, también dos puntos, es aceptable. Resumiendo, es una carta muy compensada cuyo punto débil es que no aporta habilidad adicional. Si la aportara es seguro que no sería una carta común y sería rara.

THE BATTLE
Battle where my water deck is measured with some of its best cards like Djinn Oshannus against an earth deck with Obsidian as a summoner and Unicorn Mustang as a tank to minimize my possible magic attack. It also features Mycelic Slipspawn to bundle all my attacks and Disintegrator to reduce my melee attack. A good, on paper, lineup to counter my abilities.
Batalla donde se mide mi mazo de agua con alguna de sus mejores cartas como Djinn Oshannus contra un mazo de tierra con Obsidian de invocadora y Unicorn Mustang como tanque para minimizar mi posible ataque mágico. También presenta a Mycelic Slipspawn para agrupar todos mis ataques y a Disintegrator para reducir mi ataque melé. Una buena, sobre el papel, alineación para contrarrestar mis habilidades.
| Card | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Kelya Frendul | Once again, the extra speed it brings to all the cards has been decisive in making victory easier. |
| Torhilo the Frozen | Taking advantage of being a high mana battle I decided to put Torhilo as a tank taking advantage of his shield, his high life and, especially, his magic attack resistance ability. |
| Flying Squid | The Reach ability is the reason for its use. High life and attacks from the second line. Good combination for this battle. |
| Djinn Oshannus | The star of my team. By having it at level 2, it gains the ability to phase, which has caused countless misses in rival attacks and has been one of the two key points of the battle. |
| Deeplurker | A card of a very high value. Three attack points and sneak ability make this fish one of the most used cards in my water deck. |
| Kulu Swimhunter | The protagonist of this week's challenge. His ranged attack and that of Axemaster, along with the performance of Djinn Oshannus have been decisive. |
| Axemaster | His double attack has caused havoc in the rival lines. Another card that performs especially well in high mana battles. |
The victory has had two decisive points: the misses caused by the speed of Djinn Oshannus and the attacks produced from the rear by Kulu Swimhunter and Axemaster. Up to six points of damage per turn.
La victoria ha tenido dos puntos determinantes: los misses provocados por la velocidad de Djinn Oshannus y los ataques producidos desde la retaguardia de Kulu Swimhunter y de Axemaster. hasta seis puntos de daño por turno.
CONCLUSIONS
Kulu Swimhunter is a very useful card. Balanced cost-to-skill ratio and interesting to use when well-protected with high-health cards in front of it. It is a card to take into account and it will never be negative to have it in our deck to use it when the right conditions are met for it.
Kulu Swimhunter es una carta muy util. Compensada en la relación coste - habilidades y con un uso interesante cuando está bien protegida con cartas con alta vida delante de él. Es una carta a tener en cuenta y que nunca será negativo tenerla en nuestro mazo para usarla cuando se den las condiciones idóneas para ello.
