Greetings, Everyone
The battle mage secret challenge finally has ended after months of fascinating plays in Splinterlands. Right now we will use this opportunity to share our story, of course it is Splinterlands Battle for sure, about our new cards from Rebellion Reward Cards edition.
Sergeant Grauzral is a Legendary Rarity Rebellion Reward cards that you can get by spending massive glints, about 35.000 and it is not a guarantee that you will get her. Stats wise she looks decent, nothing great about her number. 2 range damage, not a lethal one, 3 speed not a speedy gonzales type, and 5 health point without any armoor.
Many questioning whether she deserves to be put into a Legendary Class, and honestly I was one of them too. When I got her, I was thinking.. Damn, I got the worst one.
But later I have changed my opinion about her. Here are some key issues that have changed my opinion:
- 6 Mana, which make us able to use anytime in almost every type of battle.
- Opportunity ability, somehow she connects well with Deeplurker and other "sniping" unit too.
- Immunity, She could excel in some ruleset, for example the noxious fumes. most of the time we only rely on melee tank with immunity or the tank that has got cleansed from the poison, but that case ends when we had Sergeant Grauzal in our line up. She will help killing without dying for the poison.
Ok without further ado, Let's check our battle then
THE BATTLE
Ok here is our chosen battle, a battle between Water Element. I often say that I dislike same element battle, and I won't change my oppinion in this battle. There is a reason why I choose this battle for show casing Sergeant Grauzral
We have that Enraged ruleset: What doesn't Kill You. During this ruleset, it's bad move to separate or disperse our attack pattern. Better we go straight into front door, or straight into their backdoor... well it sounds a bit weird, but I think you get what I say.
Sergeant Grauzral opens up a new meta here, together with Deeplurker and Kulu Mastermind, they become a trio of Opportunity Attackers. This way they focus on killing the weakest, and will not trigger opponent's Enrage ability randomly or uselessly.
This way I can kill my opponent without worrying that they have some Enraging units that could turn the table around. Let see how this battle goes!!!
- This battle started by both parties buffed and debuffed their opponents. Both of us actually had the same meta, we maximized opportunity attacks by using the Kulu Masterminds and Deeplurker. The different is only one, my team had Sergeant Grauzal. They did not have her so they try to compensate with higher damage.
- Their team had 11 melee damage, 4 magic damage and 5 range damage. combined all, they got 20 damage per round. It was outstanding firepower they had here.
- My team had 12 melee damage, and 5 range damage. Combined all, my team had 17 damage per round. This number was great too, however lower than theirs.
- Overall, Baakjira had made my team faster with his slow ability. I believed this debuff would make a big different in this battle later.
- My team definitely won the first round and this made the round two started with 5 vs 6 condition, showing a small gap starting to grow bigger.
- Round 3 started with 4 vs 5 here. I lost my Sergeant Grauzral on the second round, her journey ended so soon.
- However even she died, she made a big impact by absorbing all their core hitters, or the DPS units on her. Look at my lineup, none were wounded seriously.
- Amazingly this became a quick 4 rounds battle. It's all over for them in this round, Good Game
CLOSURE AND DISCUSSION
This kind of battle usually sparks a debate. One side says that it proves that Sergeant Grauzral is weak, she dies first. So it's that a Legendary units should do? or should be like that?
I agree that argument has a good standing, a valid one, but not on this case. Look again at my line up in the end of the battle:
They were at max condition, untouched. And I would not get this condition if I did not put Sergeant Grauzral in my line up.
Some legendary units are so strong that they can carry a whole team themselves, and definitely Sergeant Grazural is not that kind of Legendary Unit. But she is an outstanding one in term making sure the team meta is running well.
Even she gets killed soon, but she helped building up the gap in the first two round, which would not happen if I used an extra big hitter or a support/healer as replacement.
I like this 3 opportunity attackers meta, currently not many aware of this and we can take easy win by using it.
Ok, That's all for today Splinterlands post. See you guys on Splinterlands battlefields!!
