On to this week's Splinterland battle challenge: Deeplurker
Deeplurker is a sea monster of Chaos Legion's water splinter. It comes with middle-of-the-range mana cost, a pretty good life pool, better than basic speed, and quite the melee attack of three. But the best is - it is paired with Opportunity which allows a melee monster to attack from any position of the line-up and it will strike at the opponent with the lowest health. I love me some opportunity! (but only when it is not being played against me).
You probably want to avoid the card in low mana battles but anything above ~25 mana and Water splinter available - this is a good card. I can imagine it will be even better if you're playing it with Chaos Legion's own Kelya Frendul to increase the okay speed and add a little armor or with a Dragon summoner like Daria Dragonscale to increase the melee +1.
Our Acolyte @winty161 went another route. He chose Dragon summoner Camila Sungazer to counter any melee-heavy opponent line-up. Quite the opportunistic approach. Spoiler! He had the right hunch. His opponent played Water with Kelya and chose magic monsters and speed but - he also chose Deeplurker. This line-up was very effectively countered by Winty's -1 melee summoner and not one but two cards with speed reduction. Add in two tank heals vs only one - you can imagine how this battle ended.
What's better than imagining it - watch the replay of Winty's battle here: Dragon (Water) vs. Water Deep Lurker mode engaged!
I am sure my guild mates had more Deeplurker battles however, the ones that stood out were not played with this card.
Here are three hand-selected battle replays for you. Please check them out.
@freeztag shows us the classic grum. I watched the battle and now I know what he means. Also, now I want a Grum!!
@indiebandguru apparently "LOVEs Grund!!!" If you wonder why you better watch this battle. Also interesting to see is the use of the same summoner. Slight hint: Double strike is awesome!
@solymi / @splinternews shows us how to play a very minimalist set-up - extremely cool win! Nothing else to say, you got to watch it.
Speaking of watching - Splinternews' streams on Twitch. Splinterlands, Rising Star, Hashkings, and other blockchain games. Check out his Twitch channel , give him a follow and
earn crypto just by watching him play.
