The February Splinterlands Journey was full of war and love. I completed the weekly challenges, got new cards and progressed all the way to Silver III
March comes with the spring, sunshine and ... a Molten Ogre Battle Challenge! I had to borrow this one from my brother so thank you for the badass card!
This card is too expensive for my taste and I don't see it as an improvement of using Living Lava as the main tank. The Molten Ogre has Demoralize at level 1 and Trample at level 6. Has 10 health and 3 attack but only 1 speed.
For my battle I used the Molten Ogre as pseudo-tank, ready to face some damage and the Chicken in front to take on the first attack. The battle had the Equalize rule, therefore all the monsters will start with the same health. My opponent didn't chose a full team and I feel that this battle was a free ticket. See the battle here!
As I want a real challenge, I decided to play another one and try to win the battle fair and square. I was lucky to get a 99 Mana fight and I could use the best card I have. I started with the Living Lava as main tank and the Molten Ogre as the second. I chosen overpowered damage, such as the Pyromancer, Fire Elemental, Sand Worm and War Chaang. My opponent had a Water Splinter team with the Serpent of Eld and Elven Defender as tanks, and the Mantoid, Narwhal, Squid and Goblin Chariot as damage monsters.
The Serpent of Eld fell quickly and my Pyromancer and Fire Elemental did damage behind the enemy lines before being taken out the fight.
I won the battle without losing any of my tanks thanks to the "Hit and Run" strategy, using the Pyromancer and the Fire Elemental to hit the enemy casters and ranged monsters before they could do to much damage. See the full fight here!
