Here comes the thunder, the big bad punter, Kulu Swimhunter (An octopussy Splinterlands battle challenge)

What is Splinterlands?

Splinterlands is a card game, similar with Hearthstone, where you can play battle against other players to get a better rank or in tournaments. It is a NFT game based on Hive Blockchain, with multiple ways to capitalise and make money, real money, by playing it or trading in it. You can start earning as soon as you buy a Spellbook ($10) getting DEC tokens and NFT monster cards via daily quests and season quests (every 2 weeks). There is an airdrop daily, for a whole year, currently at day 257/365, I think, and you can still get some nice governance tokens just by playing the game for the next year. Everything counts, cards, DEC on HIVE, WAX, ETH and BSC, lands, titles, skins. You can maximize the airdrop by staking all you SPS for a 26.17% APR right now. Another way to make profit is to rent cards, getting paid in DEC tokens for it. But, my, oh my, the renting price right now is so, so low.

At last, we can finally buy packs with 4$, using just Credits. Even then, if you want to get the extra packs, you still need vouchers, but just for the bonus packs. An awesome hint from a really good player (not me), if you open your packs after the Legendary summoners are introduced, you have a small chance to get them from the packs. Unlike right now. I believe that lands will be introduced next in the second quarter of 2022, I believe, with a price of 500$ on average for each at the moment. Just check this awesome page about what are the Lands supposed to do.

Kulu Swimhunter is a strange card, but a very useful one, even without any active skills. At max level, this Common Water unit will have 4 Ranged Damage, 5 Speed and 6 Health, all of them for only 4 Mana cost. There are many rulesets where this one will be useful, starting with Little League and Rise of the Commons, and finishing with Close Range (ranged attacking from first position).

So, for the challenge, this were the starting conditions:

Mana Limit: 48

Rulesets: Healed Out (no healing) and Equalizer (Highest health will be shared by all cards)

Teams:

Mine - Summoner: Bortus (decreasing the Magic attack by 1), with The Kraken as main tank with Taunt and Demoralize (decrease melee attack by 1), Torhillo the Frozen as the back-up, reducing magic attacks with Void, Lobstradamus as last line of defence against magic, with Magic Reflect, Shield and Thorns , Kulu Swimhunger as ranged with a cool 4 Damage, Nerissa Tridawn with a decent 4 Magic attack, and Doctor Blight hidden in the shadows using Camouflage, killing them softly with Poison, Affliction and decreasing health with Weaken .

Opponent - Summoner: Obsidian (+1 Magic damage boost), with Grund as main tank with double strike and Trample, Djinn Bilka, reducing my troops Health, with Camouflage and Void (reduced magic damage), Spirit Druid Grog recovering health while attacking with Leech, and a very useful Ressurect, Venari Seedsmith with Poison and extra health from Scavenger, Mitica Headhunter with Snare and 4 Ranged damage, and a Micellic Slipspawn on the back, getting the heat with Taunt and Forcefield (1 damage instead of 5+).

This was a interesting battle, and my main tank fell first, followed by his Micellic Slipspawn, killed twice (damn you Ressurect spell). In the second round my back-up tank died, and for a second it looked like I will lose, but Grind died too on the opponent side. On the 3rd round was quiet, and on the 4th one I killed his Djinn Bilka, and my Lobstradamus got shot down during the process too. Then my Kulu and his Druid went down together, and 2 cards are still alive on each side. The Venari Seedsmith got 23 Health when he stepped in the front, but died anyway, killing Nerissa too. Luck being on my side, his last card was a Ranged, who could not attack from the first position. I won.

Star of the game - Doctor Blight, the one and only survivor of this bloody battle.

On the side note, my continuous support for Splintertalk.io is going well, with my SPT tokens number raising over 1 million. All of it is delegated to @monster-curator, as this account is doing a great work curating the best posts on the forum. I have finally reached the needed SPT power (105K at the moment) to manually curate on Splinterlalk.io. Also, working on acquiring 50K Oneup (6650 UP now) next, inspired by the Cartel efforts. Bought 200K Level too, for PsiberX airdrop, as I also managed to round up 100 Hive to buy a piece of Land in their game.

Also, if you are posting on Publish0x and Read.cash blogs, and you liked the Chifibots game mentioned in the latest OneUp Cartel posts, there are still 4 prizes to be won if you want to get some of their NFT packs on this contest.

All the best,
George

I also like this card and got it to level 6 for my main account. I really like the battle challenges as they help to discover cards like this. I hope more Chaos Legion cards will be featured going forward.
