Splinterlands Royal Challenge

in #splinterlands6 years ago (edited)

This week's share your battle challenge involves using a card from the Earth Splinter.

This is a card from the royalty of the green splinter, one of the strongest ones out there with the ability to sting your rivals to death and tank.

Let's jump right into it.

Theme: Nectar Queen

The Nectar Queen is a common card from the reward edition, it was released during the untamed series.

It joins the likes of Rexxie, Flesh Golem, Stone Golem and Stonesplitter Orc as a high attacking Melee card from the Earth Splinter

It can be yours for 0.016 $.
Don't let the price deceive You though.

This is one of the most undervalued reward cards out there because...

  1. 4 Melee attack, on par with Rexxie
  2. 10 Hitpoints: Perfect for tanking. More than Rexxie or Flesh Golem
  3. The Flying ability: Perfect for use during the Earthquake ruleset

This more than justifies high mana cost of 9 and the speed of 2.

Where to use

The best rulesets for the Nectar Queen are:

  • Earthquake
  • Super Sneak
  • Melee Mayhem

These rulesets combined with a high Mana cap are perfect for the Nectar Queen.

The Queen is also great for the Equaliser ruleset. It can boost the Hitpoints of your whole team

The Battle

This Battle involves one of the best scenarios for the Queen

High Mana Cap, Melee Mayhem as ruleset and no Fire Splinter.

Perhaps one of the best moments to bring all the high hitpoints / mana cost monster of the Earth Splinter.

My Lineup

I've made 2 mistakes with my lineup but luckily I won

  1. The Stonesplitter Orc is great for retaliating, so first place
  2. The Queen at second place. Should' ve been third though. For Melee Mayhem it is better to preserve those with higher attacking power
  3. Flesh Golem: At level 3 it obtains the Heal ability. Slightly better at tanking than the Queen
  4. Hobgoblin: An Amazing card with Double strike and low mana cost. At level 3 it can deal 4 damage. Should've been 5th though
  5. Rexxie: Amazing card for games with high mana cap.
  6. Goblin Mech: One of the strongest tanks out there. Perfect for the last position

I didn't expect my rival to bring 3 cards with Magic attack.

My Orc was thus wiped out.

Due to my mistake on the lineup my Queen was defeated quite quickly as well

Luckily for me it took my rival a lot of time to remove my first 3 cards.

In the end it all came down to endurance. My team had strong cards in the first and last positions, thus it was able to make a comeback and win the battle.

See you in the Battlefield!
