Yesterday I picked up my first scaly spoon plant.
This guy is EVIL. If I have a full hand at the end of the game, I can use a combination of Numbing Lecretion and Tiny Catapult to put my opponent in a total dilemma.
They are unable to use their melee attacks, yet they will take 100% "knockback damage" if they try to attack me with ranged attacks.
I can play this three card combo every turn as long as I have enough energy... and if I run out, I can still do a different three card combo: Catapult, Lecretion, and Clense Scent (0 energy cost) so I can put up shields and do some knockback damage. It's amazing in the endgame.
Still Takes a Lot of Skill
The way that I pilot the team makes a huge difference in how well I do with this kind of Axie. It's important to arrive at winnable endgames based on making a good judgement in the early game.
Axie doesn't allow for "free wins" at high ranks, eventually everybody hits the wall if they play too lazily. Only a proper strategy and consistently strong piloting will be enough to climb the ranks. Right now I am still getting a feel for how to properly play this team, we haven't hit any crazy high ranks but I am steadily climbing.
Today's Session
A productive and fun session with a lot of great games. I'm really enjoying this new team.
