This card ain't on my top ten list of cards in the Earth Splinter such that its either I've used it just once or twice or never, sorry Earth splinter just has too many fun cards. So looking deep into this card, its jest meh in its low levels, but it comes to life in its highest levels where it even has the ability to make enemy monsters increase their chances of missing targets.

Not just that, its also equipped with ranged attack of 3 damage points with 7 cards, now that not a bad card if you'd ask me, especially at those high levels for a card of 4 Mana! RESPECT!

Next thing is for us to go into the battle, I'm sure you can't wait and are as excited as I am to reveal my line up and how I won the battle with a little of strategy and a lot of luck.

I don't know what I was thinking but my line up firstly was crappy,

I used a reflector as my first soldier with the hopes that my opponent was going to bring in magic monsters and regret it, but alas, reverse was the case, not one magic monster was brought to battle, at the time my reflector died, I'd lost all hope already,

I thought I'd lost the battle but my opponent made the mistake of bringing in cards with low life, if you watch the replay by clicking the image above, you'd see how the tides turned and it really isn't over until its over. I was able to conquer and defeat!

I think I made a right choice by fixing the tank healer at that position, it gave me an edge over my opponents as I could have been eliminated earlier.

My Barking spider maintained a solemn position all through,

I will like to refer to its operation in that position as a "crouching tiger, hidden dragon", just strategically delivering its blows and causing some major damage. The story might have been different in a more interesting way if I had my Barking Spider at its highest levels.

For entertainment and learning purposes, please do yourself a favour and click the less than 2mins replay of action, suspense and intrigue, as you watch the Barking spider in action.

Perfect lineup against this opponent team. You exploited its biggest weakness. As always such a fire team always gets wiped away after its tank is down.

Although I wonder how long your team would last if opponent team played with sneakers/opportunity.

And that Spider is good at that role indeed. I see it as snipe or sneak blocker as its attacking is not good enough.

:thanks:
Thanks for another nice post in this community.
Cheers!

The spider is quite useless at its low levels compared to its high levels....i think the tank healer was actually my saving grace here.

Appreciate your comment amigos.

Have you started playing too? I should check your deck out

:reply:
I am with low level cards, and Spider I see only as a defender because of its higher HP. Similar to Earth Elemental, Prismatic Energy, etc, they all with weak ranged attacks.

From same splinter it can be compared with Earth Elemental IMO. It needs one more mana and gives blind instead of heal. Probably most of the time Earth Elemental would be used.

Cheers!

Am I playing? That probably means that you never heard of me 😂 Just now I have reached D3 in this season. And my best are D1 in last two seasons.

I am not seriously investing (reasoning could be found from posts of smarter people). But I am managing what I have with my best during 3 minutes before a battle. Although I can see how to do more but that needs more of my precious time. Coding a battle thorough simulator is also time demanding to me.

Cheers!

I have even entered D2 now. Where have you gone?

See my battle that promoted me to D2.

Cheers!

Im on gold level 1 presently, my shitty network ends me up surrendering battles and stuff, what I hate more than loosing is surrendering, like why the heck will i surrender. But id just try to find a good spot and battle all the way up, joining you in Diamond level soon.

Tough situation. I wish you luck!
