Hello Splinter nerds
I wondered why no one made a post about the first airdrop card Rage because I have yet to see a battle post on it and rarely see players use it in battles.
I am curious if players do not have it maxed or they probably think it is not worthy of being used in battle and I am here to prove anyone with such a mindset wrong.
Rage is a ``weapon training``` monster and hence the nonattack monsters adjacent to it would always benefit from his high magic power of 5.
I am glad I bought 5 pieces of it in the market after it was airdropped and while making this post, I checked the value only to see it is now $27 per 1, am in profit already but I know it is going to pump more as others started to realize it is a warrior that needs to be used often in battles.
The 5 abilities you are seeing are what will make its price skyrocket soon because we will have many players using it and those who do not have these cards will want to buy, the higher the demand, the higher the price so just watch out for this but let us get to know why this abilities are powerful.
The modern gameplay is most time about using Lily Shieldpaw summoner to summon Grimbardun Smith and other monsterslike healers and so on but with the presence of Rage, we can add it to this combo and it will be placed in the second position so Smith can benefit from the weapon training stats.
Watch out for the battle below to see how I utilized the Weapon training stat of Rage.
One of the rules of the battle was Tis but scratches where monsters suffer the cripple damage so I had to place Grimbardun Smith as my tank and use Rage in the second position so Smith can gain its magic and I placed Thane Newsong another monster without attack in 3rd position and it also gained the magic power from rage.
My fourth and fifth monsters were healers to supplement the health that the opponent takes from Smith and lastly a monster with scattershot just in case the opponent also came with Lily shield paw but he used Immortalis instead which was tough for me cos of its void but I was able to win.
All my monsters did great, the two healers made it impossible for the opponent to defeat Smith, Rage weapon training helps in defeating the opponent monsters, and Acid shooter with the scattershot attacked the right monster which was the one with the silence ability that weakens my monsters magic.
Meanwhile I am loving the new rating system, 20 points per win and 20 points for loss too, no crazy -36 for a loss after winning 5 battles with +3 points each.
The Leaderboard competition will be fierce this season but let's see how the end is going to be, Best of luck Y'all.
