Hello everyone, welcome back to Ramadhanight's Hive Blog on Splinterlands Community Engagement Challenge. On this challenge, I will talk about the cards that I think is powerfull but aren't get enough credits, let's check it out !

Let's take a look at this cards stats and ability. At max level, he got 2 magic damage, 2 speed, and 6 health point. He got the halving and scattershot since first level, then he got the Ambush at 3rd level and Blind at max level.

Why This Card is Great ?

Halving itself is a very unique ability that only given to promo or event cards (CMIIW), with the effect to reduce enemies damage into half. While this card is not so great on the offence side, he can help a lot for the defensive side. With reduced damage, your tanker could last longer and with proper support, they can even become unbeaten ! This would at least give your team chance to eliminate enemies before they got eliminated by enemies attack.

The Scattershot means the target are not only a single target like only aim for the tanker. This card could strike through the backline, and if you are lucky enough, it can aim the most dangerous monsters and go for another on each round !

The Ambush mean this card can attack before anyone else, which occurs on the ambush round, this also mean he can give a lead damage and reducing attack before the enemy can attack.

At max level, he got the blind to help the team with more chance to evade enemies physical attack. These missed attack could lead into a very important decisive victory on the matches !

Last, beside the battle stats and ability, since this is a promo card, we will also get an additional bonus for the ranked rewards with the multiplier bonus !

What Help This Card Shine Brighter ?

Since his ability help for defensive side, I suggest you to make a strategy for the last survive mode or very tough mode. You can get can a healer or corrupted healer to help the team survive, because once the enemies are halved, they damage are less dangerous and this give chance for your monster to survive, and thats when healing would help them to gain the health point again. Having a high health tanker with reduce damage ability such as shield or void, or getting a life leech is also another tips, because once again, we want to make it into long battle and make everyone less dangerous.

The Battle Example !

Okay, enough with the theory, now let's take a look at the battle replay ! You can watch the full reply at https://splinterlands.com/battle/sl_6877754fb43c04b837ef60a240d5737f, and I will also share it here.

Ruleset for this match is :
Weak magic : Magic lost it's super power to hit directly to health point and have to break the armor first.
Keep your distance : No melee units are allowed to join the battle
Reverse Speed : Time for slow monster to shine because they are become the fastest this match (and get chance to evade physical attack for each speed difference as well)

Mana cap :
33, it's a medium mana cap for making great strategy.

I go with the Lorkus as Summoner that gives life leech and magic damage bonus, while my enemy go with the brave tofu. Even without the thorn, this summoner is a tough one with more health, scavenger, and also a triage for his team ! Who would win this match ?

How the Battle Goes

At ambush round, baron fryatt is not hitting the best target with high damage, and he hit a little monster with 1 damage instead. Still good for life leech tho.

At first round, my team actually eliminate the enemy tanker, but he got the rebirth and also bloodline tribute which lead to stronger backline that got it's effect. Meanwhile, my team lose the tanker. Now it's 4 against 6 at the end of 1st round

At 2nd round, the Baron made a hit to the archer on the back to reduce it's damage from 4 into 2. Nice halving!
But at this round, no enemies are eliminated, instead my team getting eliminated again. Now it's 3 against 6 at the end of 2nd round. Looks bad for my team, right?

At 3rd round, the Baron made a good hit again by hit the other backline archer that reduced it's damage from 3 into just 1 ! My team try to eliminate the enemy tanker again, but another rebirth is happened because my enemy got 2 support with resurrect! Very annoying because at the same time it's also trigger the bloodline tribute.
My team still survive and nobody is eliminated at 3rd round.

My enemy tanker finally eliminated and no longer resurrection happened, but the bloodline tributes is making the thunderous herald is so strong with 6 magic damage! And the execute make her even more dangerous and ended up eliminate my tanker. Now it's 2 against 5 at the end of 4rd round. Another very bad condition for my team right?

Now it's time to slowly chase the enemy!
My team started by eliminate enemy tanker, then followed with and attack from the baron to halving the thunderous herald from 6 into just 3 ! My tank survive this round and thanks for the slow it's helped to evade some range damage on this reverse speed ruleset!
At this round, my healer giving the corrupted healing for the Baron to help him survive, and the life leech make him ever tougher! Nobody yet eliminated because enemy herald is so bulked with the scavenger, he got 22 health point! But it doesn't really matter because with reduced damage on everyone, and the help of healing plus life leech, it's all about time before my team started to eliminate the enemies!

I have to wait until 9th round to finally eliminate the enemy herald (such a great and annoying monster!). Now we know who would win the match, right?

At 14th round, my team finally win the match after survive 2 vs 5 battle for a long round!

Conclussion

Halving might not hurt the monster directly, but it can help to reduce the damage taken for the team. For a long run, it can help everyone to survive and with proper support like the corrupted healing plus life leech, it can help the tanker become unbeaten with keep generating health point while taking less damage after. Not just the halving, Baron Fyatt with the Ambush could help take a lead in the battlefield both for hurting and reducing damage, and the blind help the team survive even longer against physical damage by adding a chance to evade the incoming attack !

Final Words
