I love monsters that cost little mana because they are great for all types of battles and they are even better when they are useful like Igor Darkspear.
I believe that Igor Darkspear is the low mana card that I like the most in Splinterlands because he only costs 2 mana to be used in battles, he is capable of causing a good amount of damage and has the Stun ability that makes a big difference in battles.
Igor Darkspear is an epic monster from the water deck and its mana cost is 2, its attack type is ranged and it has the ability Stun that is unlocked from level 4.
This monster may seem weak at a low level but from level 3 it becomes an excellent choice because it will have 2 attack, 3 speed and 5 life, these are great stats for a cost of only 2 mana, but it becomes even more incredible from level 4 because it will have the ability Stun and this ability is a great ally in battles.
The ability Stun gives the monster a 50% chance of applying Stun to the monster it successfully attacks, when the monster is Stunned it will be unable to perform any movement for 1 round.
50% may seem like a "low" percentage but monsters that have the ability Stun usually apply Stun to most attacks and this ability can make all the difference between a victory and a defeat. In the case of Igor Darkspear, he can make all this difference while costing only 2 mana.
This battle is an example of how the Stun ability works and right at the beginning of it my Igor Darkspear managed to apply Stunned to my opponent's monster Grund, it may be just 1 monster but in the case of Grund it has 4 attack and the ability Double Strike which allows it to attack 2x in the round, so my Igor Dark Spear made sure my monster Baakjira didn't receive 8 damage in this round and even though it wasn't enough to defeat Baakjira, this simple action made him sure that he wouldn't be defeated in this battle because the only danger to him was the monster Grund and he was defeated shortly after, which made Baakjira become a practically immortal tank in this battle since most of the other monsters didn't cause almost any damage to him.
In the end all my opponent could do was wait for his inevitable defeat.
My strategies are proving effective and soon I will finally reach the Champion League. Ever since I started playing Splinterlands in the past, reaching the Champion League has always been one of my main goals in the game and even though the rewards currently aren't very good, I still want to see what the profitability is like in the game's highest league.
