Greetings my fellow SplinterLands Warriors, For those who don't know me I am 
In this post I will feature a battle using the Octopider monster and describe a little know trick/strategy I use to give me an edge with this monster card.
THEME: OCTOPIDER
This weeks Featured card is the Octopider, with a list of two abilities and the first one only active a level three as a bronze play i don't have the demoralise in this battle. However because i have the gold foil I can use an epic summoner and then he will allow my rare cards to play at level three, this is a tactic i love to use a lot in the bronze league to devastating advantage.
- Edition: REWARD
- Rarity: RARE
- Element: DEATH
- ATTACK: RANGED
- ABILITIES: Demoralize at level 3; Blind at level 7
Battle Run Down

My thoughts on this battle are a heavy range assault, but with some front line support to stop the ranged attacker from reaching the first position, so with this in mind this is how i place my team.
- Haunted Spirit - Health and healing
- Skeletal worrier - shields and low mana
- Shadowy Presence - Health and low mana
- Octopider - Range attack and Health
- Soulstorm - Range attack and speed
- Grim Reaper - Range attack and affliction ability
The plan worked out perfectly and non of my ranged monster got to the front position even though the opponent had a speed advantage the resulted in a few missed shots bit the higher attack damage was devastating once it connected, resulting in a instant kill that round.
Conclusion To Octopider
He is no doubt a power house to the Death Splinters line up with a powerful attack at range and also a decent amount of hit points to his health stats, the only downside is the high mana cost meaning that he is not usable in low mana matches.
