             How is it going, folks? @kaylerfaye here and I hope this blog finds you well. Today's blog will be an entry to the "Share Your Battle Weekly Challenge!" featuring the Scavo Firebolt which is brought to us by @splinterlands. It's going to be the same drill as before, we will study the card first then we'll break down some battles. So what are we waiting for? let's jump right in.

             Living within the Realm of Silence, the mole-like race of Scavo was affected by the toxic gas from the Mountain of Ash. They became brilliant and worked diligently to protect their home from the blight. Scavo Firebolts were particularly changed by their proximity to the magma, developing the ability to summon and launch fire bolts from their palms. They defend their home by launching these fire bolts from great distances. Approaching enemies don't realize the danger until fire begins to rain from above. Those that are incapacitated are especially vulnerable.

             Scavo Firebolt is one of the Scavo Trio that came in together with the release of Chaos Legion Edition. Among those three, Scavo Firebolt is the only attack type card, the other two are support cards. At level 1 it deals 2 Range damage with 2 Speed and a decent 4 HP. Its breakpoints are at level 4 where it gets extra damage for the Silver League. Next will be at level 7 for another extra attack. His ability Knock Out which gets unlocked at level 6 is a situational skill that only works if the target monster is stunned so try using him in combination with monsters that have the Stun ability. Other than that, I think many would consider it a filler card. Nevertheless, let's showcase some battles where I utilize Scavo Firebolt.

Battles Break Down

BATTLE #001

             IMO, one of the best use cases of Scavo Firebolt is during Little League Ruleset. Having 2~3 Damage and Speed is not something you would want to pass on when you're only limited to 4-mana monsters and below. Watch two of my battles utilizing Scavo Firebolt as a damage dealer in Little League. Kindly click the images to watch the battles.

Only Monsters & Summoners that cost 4 Mana or less may be used in battles

Ruleset Tips

  • Try increasing your defense by using summoners that give +1 armor or +1 health.
  • Use monsters with at least 2 magic damage and 2 ranged damage.

BATTLE #002

             Scavo Firebolt also excels on an Equalizer Ruleset too. Mainly because of his decent firepower for a cheap cost. Despite having plenty of mana to play around in this battle, I decided to test this volcano mole's potential against high HP teams, and surprisingly, he did pretty well.

The initial Health of all Monsters is equal to that of the Monster on either team with the highest base Health.

Ruleset Tips

  • Use monsters with less base hp and focus on damage. Tendencies are, that your opponent might put out a monster with high HP in his lineup.
  • Try to put as many monsters as possible.
  • Take advantage of the abilities that deal return damage (Thorns, Magic Reflect or Return Fire) + Amplify as well as the ability Backfire. They are good ways to inflict cheeky little extra damage.
  • Life Leech ability is also good to have in this ruleset as you can further increase the HP of your monster that has this ability equivalent to the damage you dealt.

BATTLE #003

             In general, Scavo Firebolt can be used as a meatshield against Sneak or Snipe attacks. In this battle, because of its decent HP, it was able to take soak up 3 hits protecting my Serpentine Spy and by the time my opponent get past Scavo Firebolt, his backline was already decimated.

BATTLE #004

Yodin Zaku 150 x 200.png
             If we're looking for the best-case scenario for Scavo Firebolt, it is when he's paired with Swiper The Fox I mean Yodin Zaku. This war demon not only buffs the key stats of Scavo Firebolt but also gives him the Blast ability. Monsters with this ability do additional adaptive damage equivalent to main damage divided by 2 (rounded up) to the cards adjacent to the target. Watch how player BANGJOGI (credits to him for this battle showcase) uses this combination to wipe the floor with my team. Yeah... yeah, I know! I got my butt handed to me 🙄.

CONCLUSION

             As I mentioned earlier in this post, Scavo Firebolt might just be a filler for many of us especially, when Even Stevens Ruleset is in play where only monsters with even Mana costs may be used in battles. Admit it or not, we knew that in Splinterlands not all cards are created equal. But by maximizing the odds and resources available to you during every battle, underwhelming cards like Scavo Firebolt have the potential to shine.
