Introduction
Another weekly challenge released (Splinterlands, 2022), again with the Dragons theme, being allowed any battle with cards from this Splinter. In today's post I will talk about Quix the Devious:
- -01 Speed: Reduces the speed of all enemies by 01.
- -01 Ranged Attack: Reduces enemies' ranged attack by 01.
Quix the Devious is a very versatile summoner, reducing ranged attack by 1 and enemy team movement speed by 1. Combining this summoner with monsters that have Swiftness or Slow abilities can guarantee few hits from the enemy team, especially if your tank has the Phase ability to also dodge magic attacks. I have already presented a strategy similar to this combination in Greengineer (2022-a) using the Nightmare monster and in this post I used the Almo Cambio and Void Dragon monsters.
The strategy before the battle
The battle had Spreading Fury and Close Range rules active, 42 MP available, and only Fire Splinter was disabled. With Spreading Fury active it was possible to repeat the strategy
of using a tank with a lot of movement speed and with the ability Phase combined with Summoner and Monsters that increase the speed of allies and reduce the speed of enemies. Since Conqueror Jacek was unavailable and Kitty was out of my budget, I opted for Quix The Devious to slow the enemy team's movement speed. With the Swiftness buff I put the Spirit Miner, Supply Runner and Lira the Dark monsters in third, fourth and fifth positions respectively. In the first two positions I placed the Almo Cambio with Immunity and Phase and the Void Dragon with Flying, Void Armor and Phase respectively. On the backline I put the Lightning Dragon with Stun and Piercing.
Once the team was set up, 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 Obsidian with Grund as a tank with Double Strike and Trample. In second position he had Prismatic Energy with Magic Reflect and Void. In third position was Queen Mycelia with Protect, Amplify and Triage. In fourth position was Doctor Blight with Affliction, Camouflage, Poison and Scavenger. In fifth position was the Halfling Alchemist with Halving and Redemption. In last position was Mycelic Slipspawn with Taunt and Forcefield.
My opponent's strategy was to destroy my team with the combination of a strong melee attack on the front line and the magic attack of his other allies. As the Grund doesn't have any defensive abilities, Mycelic Slipspawn would do the job of ensuring its survival. Movement speed was not a stat my opponent was concerned about, and it would be good for me as presented in the sequel.
In the first round my Almo Cambio was hit by Prismatic Energy, increasing its movement speed to 12. For the rest of the round no enemy attacks hit Almo Cambio. Mycelic Slipspawn lost a lot of HP but was healed by Queen Mycelia.
In the second round the Mycelic Slipspawn was shot down. None of my opponent's attacks hit Almo Cambio this round.
In the third round it was Grund's turn to go to the grave. Almo Cambio followed without taking damage this round.
In the fourth round the Halfling Alchemist was eliminated, activating Redemption and taking 01 life from all my allies. But this increased their movement speed even more.
In the fifth round Prismatic Energy was eliminated and Almo Cambio remained untouched.
In the sixth round, Queen Mycelia was executed and Doctor Blight left the match, guaranteeing me the victory.
The strategy described in this post proved to be very versatile, and can be used with different Splinters. My opponent was unfortunate that he didn't come with more movement speed, which made it all a walk in the park. Quix the Devious fulfilled his role with honors.
I hope you enjoyed the battle, if you want to follow it in detail just click on Greengineer (2022-b).

Introdução
Mais um desafio semanal lançado (Splinterlands, 2022), novamente com o tema Dragões, sendo permitida qualquer batalha com cartas deste Splinter. No post de hoje irei falar sobre o Quix the Devious:
- -01 Speed: Reduz em 01 a velocidade de todos os inimigos.
- -01 Ranged Attack: Reduz em 01 o ataque à distância dos inimigos.
O Quix de Devious é um summoner muito versátil, reduzindo 01 do ataque à distância e 01 da velocidade de movimento do time inimigo. Combinando este summoner com monstros que possuam as habilidades Swiftness ou Slow pode garantir poucos acertos da equipe inimiga, principalmente se seu tanque possuir a habilidade Phase para também desviar dos ataques mágicos. Já apresentei uma estratégia similar a esta combinação em Greengineer (2022-a) utilizando o monstro Nightmare e neste post utilizei os monstros Almo Cambio e Void Dragon.
A estratégia antes da batalha
A batalha tinha as regras Spreading Fury e Close Range ativas, 42 de MP disponíveis e apenas o Splinter do Fogo estava desabilitado. Com Spreading Fury ativo era possível repetir a estratégia
de utilizar um tanque com bastante velocidade de movimento e com a habilidade Phase combinado à Summoner e Monstros que aumentem a velocidade dos aliados e reduzam a velocidade dos inimigos. Como o Conqueror Jacek estava indisponível e o Kitty estava fora do meu orçamento, optei pelo Quix The Devious para reduzir a velocidade de movimento da equipe inimiga. Com o buff Swiftness coloquei os monstros Spirit Miner, Supply Runner e Lira the Dark nas terceira, quarta e quinta posições respectivamente. Nas duas primeiras posições coloquei o Almo Cambio com Immunity e Phase e o Void Dragon com Flying, Void Armor e Phase respectivamente. Na backline coloquei o Lightning Dragon com Stun e Piercing.
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 Obsidian com o Grund como tanque com Double Strike e Trample. Na segunda posição ele contava com o Prismatic Energy com Magic Reflect e Void. Na terceira posição estava a Queen Mycelia com Protect, Amplify e Triage. Na quarta posição tinha o Doctor Blight com Affliction, Camouflage, Poison e Scavenger. Na quinta posição estava o Halfling Alchemist com Halving e Redemption. Na última posição estava o Mycelic Slipspawn com Taunt e Forcefield.
A estratégia de meu oponente era destruir minha equipe com a combinação de um ataque melee forte na linha de frente e do ataque mágico de seus demais aliados. Como o Grund não possui nenhuma habilidade defensiva o Mycelic Slipspawn faria o trabalho de garantir sua sobrevivência. Velocidade de movimento não foi um status no qual meu oponente se preocupou, e isto seria bom para mim como apresentado na sequência.
No primeiro round o meu Almo Cambio foi atingido pelo Prismatic Energy, aumentando sua velocidade de movimento para 12. No restante do round nenhum ataque inimigo atingiu o Almo Cambio. O Mycelic Slipspawn perdeu bastante HP mas foi curado pela Queen Mycelia.
No segundo round o Mycelic Slipspawn foi abatido. Nenhum ataque de meu oponente atingiu o Almo Cambio neste round.
No terceiro round foi o vez do Grund ir pra cova. O Almo Cambio seguiu sem receber dano neste round.
No quarto round o Halfling Alchemist foi eliminado, ativando Redemption e forma a tirar 01 de vida de todos os meus aliados. Mas isto aumentou ainda mais a velocidade de movimento deles.
No quinto round o Prismatic Energy foi eliminado e o Almo Cambio continuou sem ser atingido.
No sexto round a Queen Mycelia foi executada e o Doctor Blight saiu da partida na sequência, me garantindo a vitória.
A estratégia descrita neste post se mostrou bem versátil, podendo ser utilizada com diferentes Splinters. Meu oponente foi infeliz de não ter vindo com mais velocidade de movimento, o que tornou tudo um passeio no parque.
Espero que tenham gostado da batalha, se quiserem acompanhá-la em detalhes é só clicar em Greengineer (2022-b).
