When I grow up I want to be a Mutant Ninja Turtle, said Pinky! (a Spineback Turtle Splinterlands weekly 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 162/365, 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 38.70% APR right now. Another way to make profit is to rent cards, getting paid in DEC tokens for it.

Chaos Legion cards 2nd phase of the sale is almost done, and somehow I have managed to buy 1413 packs, a solid number, much higher than the 500 I expected to get. Very soon, after 8th of January, we can finally buy packs with 4$, using just Credits. Even then, if you want to get the extra packs, you still need vouchers. All lands were sold out and will be introduced next in the second quarter of 2022, I believe, with a price of 570$ on average for each at the moment. Just check this awesome page about what are the Lands supposed to do.

The Spineback Turtle is an Alpha/Beta Common Water unit, with 4 Mana cost (Ideal for the Little League ruleset as tank), and at max level 10 will have 3 Melee damage, 2 Speed, 5 Armor and 7 Health. At level 4 gains Thorns, returning some damage back when attacked by Melee units. A level 4 is not really expensive, only $28, but to really be good you may want the level 5, for the 2 Melee Damage instead of 1 at level 4. If this is too much for you, for only 3 Mana cost you can get the Cruel Sethropod, with similar stats, minus the Thorns skill. Also useful in low Mana battles, as you can see bellow:

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

Mana Limit: 17

Rulesets: Close Range (Archers shoot from the first position) and Healed out (No healing)

Teams:

Mine - Summoner: Bortus (decrease opponent army magic by 1) with Hardy Snonefish as 1 Mana cost unit to get some hits, followed by the Spineback Turtle as the main tank, with Sabre Shark and Pelacor Bandit to attack on the back, both with Sneak skill, Pirate Captain with Snipe and Inspire, increasing Melee Damage by 1, and the Chicken on the last position as a buffer.

Opponent - Summoner: General Sloan boosting ranged by 1, with a Cornealus like tank, high health, no healing tough, followed by Halfling Alchemist, ready to half my first card damage and the Ooze to slow me down.

This was a very fast game, as his Alchemist and Ooze died on the first round, and his Cornealus fell in the second, with nothing lost on my side.

Star of the game - the Spineback Turtle, being so fast that the whole battle was finished before even she tried to hit once.

On the side note, my continuous support for Splintertalk.io is going well, with my SPT tokens number raising to 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. Next, I am slowly building some SPT power (71K at the moment) to manually curate on Splinterlalk.io also.

All the best, George
