So, who's this guy?
Edition: CHAOS LEGION
Rarity: COMMON
Element: WATER
Attack: RANGED
Abilities: none
Does he have a story to tell?
Kulu Swimhunters are members of a race of squid-like creatures that hunt in packs. They use their multiple tentacles to wield all manner of projectiles, to include spears, coral, and even fish. They are very aggressive and are known to traverse oceans, lakes, and rivers, killing for sport and leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. They do not value gold or glory and will ally themselves with whoever promises the greatest opportunity to hunt and kill.
The young boy leaned on the ship's gunwale, staring dreamily into the deep green of the water. His father was a simple fisherman, but the boy fantasized about one day being a naval officer... or perhaps a pirate. Anything but a simple fisherman.
Movement in the water below caught his eye, and he leaned over the gunwale, squinting into the depths. A dark shape rose toward the surface. It was emerald green, with two shining orbs set into its surface. As it drew closer, he realized the orbs were eyes. Tentacles waved in the water around it. A squid, the boy thought. He smiled and watched the creature's ascent with interest.
Suddenly, a tentacle shot out of water and threw something at the boy. A dead fish struck him hard in the temple. He winced and staggered, but before he could recover, the tentacle wrapped around his neck and yanked him over the side of the boat. The boy landed in the water with a splash and was quickly dragged down into the depths of the ocean.
Let's have a look at those stats
I usually play at silver leage, so, I would like to eventually level up this card to lvl 4, since that's when it gains +1 spd and +2 hp. With 2 atk it already packs quite the punch.
I don't own the card, but I usually end up using him when I need some ranged damage since he has a low mana req.
Let's get to the action
This is a silver III battle.
I picked Serpent of Eld first as my tank. Then, I picked a few flying monsters because it was an earthquake round: Pelacor Bandit and Albatross. I placed the Albatross last to protect me from potential sneak attacks. Then I picked Merdaali Guardian to give my serpent some sustain. And lastly, I was lacking some ranged damage because I expected my enemy to play a Cursed Windeku, so I picked Kulu Swimhunter.
After the first round of earthquakes, my serpent gave the last hit to the enemy tank
From there, Bandit hit the enemy Sha-vi, and then Kulu gave the winning strike.
So, how did it go?
My strategy worked well, I took into consideration the enemy tank and the round rules and used them in my favor. Kulu Swimhunter is a good option for ranged damage for low mana battles.
