Weekly Win Notes: 13 Chaos Knight Victories and Analysis

ROSTERwinNotes.gif

Below are 13 victories featuring a Chaos Knight, including one Brawl win. A brief note about each battle is above its link. Some overall impressions are first.

The battles were submitted by users of the Archmage bot to highlight strong selections made by the bot using a Chaos Knight.

Follow @archmage.app for official announcements.

Overall Impressions:

A high number of the battles come down to Chaos Knight versus Shieldbearer. Although Taunt is very versatile, against a team that doesn't use Sneak, Snipe or Opportunity heavily and therefore one that just attacks the front in any case, Shield can be better and perhaps cheaper in terms of mana.

Shieldbearer has been the only choice for white for too long, and it is good to see another strong option coming to the forefront of Life splinter selections.

Chaos Knight seems also to do well at low mana versus Tarsa, which is another opening where white rarely used to find wins.

To see evidence, watch the battles below.

Battles:

DIVIDER.png

Chaos Knight has Shield. Any opposing tank with only 1 non-magic attack will be ineffective. We see the Blinding Reflector do no damage. Stitch Leech and Celestial Harpy also make a few attempts, but their damage is negated or reduced by the Shield too.

Even versus Tarsa and a 4-attack Molten Lava, the Chaos Knight stands up long enough for the Cave Slug and Stitch Leech to do their work. In Reverse Speed rules, they have the edge over the usually fast red back-line.

A bit of good luck regarding who attacks first wins this Chaos Knight mirror match. The Furious Chicken soaks a hit too. Earthquake rules.

DIVIDER.png

General Sloan with Pelacor Arbalest is highly decent. Here a Diemonshark goes down in similar time to the Chaos Knight, proving the value of the white tank in front of the Arbalest.

DIVIDER.png

Lorna beats Tarsa here at 12 mana, with Shield and Divine Shield proving better than increased attack and life. The extra mana from the difference in summoner costs is a factor also.

DIVIDER.png

General Sloan mirror match. Very close battle. The lower cost Chaos Knight's Shield combined with Sneak are victorious over a more costly Taunt strategy.

DIVIDER.png

Sloan again. A higher level mirror match this time. The person who can keep the Arbalest alive the longest seems to win. Unusual Taunt placement here is successful.

https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sl_c99d8a34d236c1d13206ced99f988638&ref=archmage.app

DIVIDER.png

Level 5 Chaos Knight takes on a Shieldbearer again, but the difference in levels here is apparent, and the battle doesn't last long. A very convincing victory.

https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sl_453aa7194b4a48c027de089d72041d69&ref=archmage.app

DIVIDER.png

White versus red at low mana. A miss helps, but the Shield does an incredible amount of work here. Healed Out and Lost Legendaries. Khala versus Tarsa.

https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sl_545780dc3b16e4a4ee921785b0ed41a7&ref=archmage.app

DIVIDER.png

Another battle of the Arbalests. Another case of "If they're going to attack my tank with range anyway, I might as well have Shield and not Taunt." Sloan mirror.

https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sl_f328796181d1ef42f13b0217f47748d9&ref=archmage.app

DIVIDER.png

Khala mirror at Bronze. Gold foils lose here. The order of your monsters really matters. Watch this one several times to see how. Earthquake rules.

https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sl_434e9745054fbb0eee484c8a4d585a46&ref=archmage.app

DIVIDER.png

Khala mirror at Bronze again. Again Shield is better than Taunt. The Disintegrator features here. With a Warrior of Peace, white can actually combo two Demoralize without spending much money.

https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sl_27f47ff48429f4b50355451f671d5adb&ref=archmage.app

DIVIDER.png

And finally, the last submission is in fact from a Brawl and has a Gladius card as well as a Chaos Knight. See Captain Katie work. It's just a huge pity she doesn't get to land that last hit too.

The people doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved deeply with her group and @fyrstikken . Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. I cant prove she is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing it. I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism

Awesome post. Looking at it now, my battle was pretty unfair :D but tbh I rarely found any Life battles played by the bot, not even talking about including Chaos Knight. It's a great card though, especially when giant killer gets added in gold lvl

It's good to see so much variation in the card selection and still see all these victories. Great analysis on these matches. I hope I can provide as many examples during next weeks challenge as well.

I'm not sure what the spot prizes will be moving ahead, but for now, if you do submit more, there's a good chance of another buck rare for you or someone else lucky out of my own pocket :)
