This is the weekly Challenge of SHARE YOUR BATTLE, and the Theme for the Week is VENARI KNIFER

Welcome to my Gaming Space where I give detailed analysis of my Splinterlands Battle.

For this week we shall discuss the theme of VENARI KNIFER.

Venari Knifer is always my number 1 choice when I play with the Earth Splinter. It is always my first position Monster because of its attack-defence strategy.

So this week's challenge is an opportunity for me to learn more about the Venari Knifer Monster. Surely, it will give me a better understanding of the Monster and help me in future battles.

Let's get into an in-depth analysis of this Monster and I will share a battle were I used it.

VENARI KNIFER 🔥

---

Edition: CHAOS LEGION

Rarity: COMMON

Element: EARTH

Attack: MELEE

Abilities: Thorns, Backfire at level 6

LORE

Venari Knifers are specialized rogues, assassins, and thieve8s that make their living through shadier dealings in the Realm of Silence underneath Praetoria. They often work as part of criminal organizations or guilds, taking on contracts to put more gold in their pockets. When the Chaos Legion's agents came to Praetoria, many Venari Knifers saw them as new benefactors for their mercenary work. Using the tunnels that run beneath the surface world, the Knifers move like shadows in the night to strike at their opponents.

Like the rest of their kin, Knifers are masters of tools and technology. They've used their knowledge to perfect the Knifer Rig. A deadly weapon powered by magic and pneumatics, Knifer Rigs consist of six fully articulated blades and rods carried on the back. When not in use, they fold away neatly and unobtrusively. When employed, however, they are silent, speedy, and absolutely deadly.

---

MY STRATEGY AND LINE-UP

---

For my strategy, here are my Summoner and Monsters, and I'll tell you why I chose each Summoner and Monsters.

---

MY SUMMONER

---

DRAKE OF ARNAK

I chose this Summoner to give my Monsters 1 shield. I chose it because I could use my Earth Monsters along with it.

---

MEET MY MONSTERS

---

VENARI KNIFER

SPIRIT HOARDER

GOBLIN PSYCHIC

REGAL PERYTON

---

MEET MY MONSTERS

---

Monster Name	Image	Reason for Choosing
Venari Knifer		Venari Knifer is always my number 1 choice because of her attack and defense strategy. Her Thorns makes her defensive and her attack effect of 3, also makes her a great offensive player. The Gold Plated Venari Knifer is always a great choice. PS: The card is mine 😉
Spirit Hoarder		My wonderful Legendary card 😁😁😁 His ability of Triage is quite necessary as it strengthens and heals other Monsters. I placed this Monster at this position to continously strengthen my back line Monsters.
Goblin Psychic		I placed the Goblin Psychic at this point to continously Strengthen my first attacker. So while my Venari Knifer has is both offensive and defensive, she is always Strengthened by Goblin Psychic. Isn't that crazy? 😀😀😀
Regal Peryton		The Regal Peryton is a perfect Monster at the last position as it can evade attacks from the opponent's Sneak Monster. However, it also has good stats to attack from that angle.

COMMENTARY AND SUMMARY ON THE BATTLE

---

ENTRANCE

RUMBLE

At the beginning of the Battle, the following events happened:

☆ My opponent's Summoner, General Sloan, gave my opponent's team 1 Ranged attack effect.

☆ My Opponent's Monster Time Mage used the SLOW effect on my team members.

☆ My Monster, Drake of Arnak, gave my Monsters 1 shield each.

THE BATTLE LASTED FOR 7 ROUNDS

---

ROUND ONE

---

☆ The first round ended with no casualty, however my Venari Knifer received continous attacks from my opponent.

---

ROUND TWO

---

☆ The second round began with my Venari Knifer defeating my opponent's first position Monster. However, my opponent's Monsters retaliated by defeating my Venari Knifer.

☆ When they took my Venari Knifer, I felt I've lost the battle.

---

ROUND THREE

---

☆ In this round, my opponent lost 2 Monsters while I lost 1 monster. So we were left with 2 Monsters each.

☆ The battle continues!

---

ROUND FOUR AND FIVE

---

☆ The only advantage that I had in this battle is that my Goblin Psychic was still alive. This means that he can continue healing himself as the first position Monster, while attacking other Monsters.

---

ROUND SIX AND SEVEN

---

☆ With this advantage, I was able to remove both Monsters.

---

....I WON THE BATTLE!!!
