Introduction

Hi! Hive account@saydie here playing Splinterlands everyday!

This is Exploring the Chaos where I take a look on Chaos Legion cards including their subsets such as Riftwatchers and the Reward cards, as they brought new abilities and strategies that changes how the game was played.

So finally, I was able to catch up with all the subsets, rewards and promo cards that Chaos Legion has brought to the game. So now, for the topic of my post I will go through the Core Chaos Legion Cards. There's too many of them so I would tackle them one element at a time with their varying rarities starting with the common cards of the Fire Element.

Common Fire Cards In Action

Battle 1: Radiated Scorcher and Scavo Chemist

Conditions	Description
^{Diamond League Modern Format}	13 Mana Cap Available Elements: Fire, Death ^{Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_429a81a245c9791f861c8e042de24ea4&ref=bltzr-wizard-726}
^{Equal Opportunity}	All Monsters have the Opportunity ability.
^{Lost Legendaries}	Legendary Monsters may not be used in battles.
^{Weak Magic}	Magic attacks hit Armor before reducing Health.

This battle only has 13 mana cap with the rule sets Equal Opportunity, Lost Legendaries and Weak Magic so with the exception of legendary monsters, the rest of the cards can be used and monsters have the Opportunity ability. Since the mana cap was low, there are only very few monsters that can be added and with it, I choose to place Scavo Chemist as my main tank since although this card has no damage, it has the Slow which reduces the speed of all my opponent monsters as well as Headwinds that would reduce the range damage of the opponent. It also has huge health for a low mana tank that only cost 2 mana.

Meanwhile, although Radiated Scorcher only has 4 health at max level it could have a very decent damage and speed and with the rule set at play, it can attack at any position. Because the speed of the opponent were reduced, it has allowed Radiated Scorcher to defeat Chaos Agent during round 1 and Xenith Archer by the end of the battle.

Battle 2: Lava Spider

Conditions	Description
^{Gold League Wild Format}	48 Mana Cap Available Elements: Fire, Water, Dragon _{Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_45a6d563716a55cfe31ef0a701544846&ref=agonyaccepted}
^{Lost Magic}	Monsters with magic attack may not be used in battles.
^{Close Range}	Range attacks may be used in the first position in battles.
^{Aim True}	Melee and Range attacks always hit their target.

For the 2^nd battle, we have 48 mana cap with Lost Magic where magic monsters cannot be used but we also have Close Range where range monsters can attack at first position and Aim True that guarantees the attack will hit the target. I positioned lava Spider at the 2^nd position since though boosted by my summoner and it got lesser damage compared to my other range monsters but for 3 mana, it has decent health and can still attack with the rule set in play, allowing it to defeat Arkemis the Bear and deal 2 damage through Blast to Supply Runner during the first round.

Battle 3: Antoid Platoon

Conditions	Description
^{Gold League Wild Format}	39 Mana Cap Available Elements: Fire, Dragon _{Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_12acbf47f94f000473946982d85bd0d8&ref=crimepoet}
^{Lost Legendaries}	Legendary Monsters may not be used in battles.
^{Evens Stevens}	Only Monsters with even Mana costs may be used in battles.
^{Melee Mayhem}	Melee attack Monsters can attack from any position.

For this battle, the rule sets available are Lost Legendaries where legendary monsters cannot be used, Evens Stevens that limits monsters to only those with even mana but at the same time, it also has Melee Mayhem which gives melee monsters to attack at any position. Because of this, even at third position Antoid Platoon and still attack where in it deals 2 damage on Idri Fyre and on round 3, it was even able to defeat Twilight Basilisk. Since it got Shield it only received half the damage from melee and range attacks so when the redemption from Idri Fyre hit, only Antoid Platton did not take damage. At the end of the round, Antoid Platoon has a total of 13 health as it gets 1 health for each the monsters that got defeated thanks to the Scavenger ability.

Final Thoughts

And with that my review for the core Chaos Legion common cards of the Fire Element has ended. It's a shame that I was not able to use Radiated Scorcher since it can be a powerful card when Enrage got activated but aside from that, my most commonly used Fire commons was Antoid Platton and surprisingly, Scavo Chemist even if it does not have an attack as the Headwinds and Slow can be really helpful during matches where speed determines the victor.
