Horny Toad!! Splinterlands Weekly Battle Challenge
Hello Splinterlands family
Four more days are left for this current season of splinterlands to end. I hope all the players are making their efforts to reach their desired league within the game. I am still on c3 and hopefully will end the season at c1 this time as well (fingers crossed).
While since today is the last day to create a post for this weeks splinterlands weekly battle challenge post, here I am creating it. I am always a let comer, I know that but better late than never 😎 . This week's Splinterlands theme was HORNY TOAD
not sure in what mood carrie
was jk but it really was able to strike the eye. But I was looking out for this card and I have been using it quite often in my alt account. While I am currently focusing on upgrading some cards and it will take some time
Horny Toad
It is a common card, NEUTRAL element, and of Untamed Edition. It is a melee attack monsters with the ability of Reach and Poison (from level 6). Quite a useful card if you take it to level 6 and upward. Let me share the battle and my gameplay with you all.
I was looking to use it in a big mana battle and that is because since I have it at level 4 I did not wanted to get much into trouble, thus was looking for a decent entry point to make a play with this card. In this match, I had 29 mana battle rules and the rules were Weak Magic
and The Rise of Commons
.
Since Magic will eventually hit the armor I was more of planning to go with Melee attacks the most and I had a rough idea that my opponent would come up with range attack the most and I was in doubt about using Flesh golem or Necter Queen in the 1st position but after some thought went with Queen as she has the flying ability and also retaliate and with the Tank Heal from Wood Nymph this was probably the best option that I could come up with, in addition to that the +1 health from Lyanaa also gave a boost in the match. I was quite surprised to see so many misses by the opponent monsters. Honestly if not for that, I would have lost this match very much easily.
Hony Toad with poison ability would sure come in handy. But since I do not have it, nothing could be done about that. While the toad did its job very well, with its two attacks to the sea monster it helped to reduce the health of it and thus helping killing it. If it had poison, the effect would have been double lol, just imagine, I will have to make it reach that level soon.
While I recently took my Goblin Thief to level 6 and this was the first match probably by it. The +3 melee attack was indeed a boost and along with snipe, it was a mega boost jk. The shatter ability was one of a kind and it was much needed in this particular rule as well. As you can see in the match, it destroyed the armor of Crustacean King, was worth the upgrade. Played a vital rule in the win.
Now when I was thinking of using Magic attack, I came up with Magi of the Forest but changed the mind to come up with Mushroom seer, since I could use it at level 5, it had two magic attack and thanks to Naga Windmaster of the opponent, I lost +1 magic attack from this monster but yet the poison effect was pretty effective and was a cherry on the top. Absolutely worth it.
Now I was thinking of using a tank heal and since I was left with Wood Nymph, then why not use it. The heal was quite useful in the match and probably for this the queen survived all the attacks and thanks to that the game was a victory for me. In higher leagues, I really need most of the cards upgraded, or else, it is easily beatable by the opponents. So here you go another reason to upgrade the cards.
Now coming to one of the most undervalued cards, but yet useful one which is the creeping ooze. Thanks to this one the -1 speed to the opponent really helped some of my monsters to attack them beforehand and that was quite a needed support and that goes without saying it is indeed one of the underdog cards that most of us do not use. But yet it did its work and at the end, it was quite a nice match to share with you all.
- Did my strategy work? What will I try differently next time?
Well, it sure did and mostly because of the missed opportunities I suppose. And next, I would probably use the Horny toad at level 6 to unlock the poison ability and sure would like to see it how it really works ;)
- Do I use the HORNY TOAD often? Why or why not?
Well technically I am more used to manticore & C.Pegasus when it comes to reachability and apart from that I have not really used it much in my main account but in my other account I use it quite often and that is not much in upgrade level. So just on usual occasions, it goes into the match.
While that is it for today and looking forward to the next weekly battle challenge and looking forward to the next monsters/ability lol.
