in Splinterlands3 years ago

For this weekly challenge it is another card that I don't usually play that much as a Bronze League player but I hope I'll make him use often after this post. On my last post I share you some of my ideas about life lineups that I know will help you to save some DEC from renting and maybe finish your life quest without worrying to lost some rating. Crystal Jaguar isn't there because I think he will only gonna be useful when he's on silver and get thorn ability. I'll show you how I use Crystal Jaguar and teach where he's gonna be best to deploy.

Without further do let's jump into it!


THE CARD

ManaDamageSpeedArmorHealthAbility
41215Level 4 Thorns, Level 9 Retaliate
A melee tank with low mana cost beast. I think he is better to use when the rules are set with only melee and low mana cost fight. I'll show you how will he get so OP when he got his Thorns Ability. This card ain't that expensive to rent or even buying one for $0.7/bcx. When you're picking Crystal Jaguar make sure you have someone that can be your 2nd tank because sometimes when opponents picks mage he'll just gonna get burn with magical damages (I use Pelacor Conjurer to counter magic or use Luminous Eagle).

THE BATTLE

BATTLE CONDITION

Mana : 19
Rules : Silenced Summoner & Up close and personal
Elements can be used : Fire, Water, Earth, & Life

The best rules for Crystal Jaguar. I'm lucky with this because we already have Melee Only rules. That's good for Crystal Jaguar Thorns Ability and also we have Silenced Summoner. I've already thought about opponent picking Mylor Crowling because he is best for this rules but by having him Silenced he won't do much and I have the advantage because Crystal Jaguar have already Thorns without the help of summoner.

1ST POSITION

Our weekly challenge star Crystal Jaguar. Even without high melee attack he can blow enemies with his Thorns Ability because all of our picks are melees.

2ND POSITION

My favorite 2nd tank when it comes to life the Luminous Eagle. With his 3 melee damage and 3 speed without needing buffs are so op for me. I like to use him a lot because most of the time he became invincible (effective to use when you have good 1st position tanks).

3RD POSITION

Silvershield Knight cannot seem to be useful on his position because he can't attack but his Inspire ability makes him so good at this rules or even if you're using your natural lineup protecting him and earning with his buff are so important, putting him at the backline makes him hard to deal with.

ROUND 1

It's so satisfying to see how luminous deal 4 damage at his Flesh Golem. Do you have idea now why I use him a lot? 🤣 Only with 1 round I manage to deal 8 damage to his Flesh Golem (he got 5 health after this round because he heals 3 health points). I almost kill him in a single round. Most of his backlines are sneaky sneaky cards. In that case Silvershield may die first before Crystal Jaguar.

ROUND 2

Everytime I see 4+ damage I'm always satisfied. In this round I Crystal Jaguar managed to kill his Flesh Golem by the help of Luminous Edge ton of damage. But unfortunately, Silvershield Knight died also. We lost our buff those sneaky sneaky cards!!! 😡 Still we are leading because Crystal Jaguar is still alive he is the most effective at this battle.

ROUND 3

In this round we manage to kill his Uraes and Goblin Thief because of Thorns and by the help of Luminous Edge.

ROUND 4

Luminous Edge finish it with smooth 3 melee damage. Nothing is better when you're winning without dying most of your cards. untitled.gif

Conclusion

After this experiment I would say that Crystal Jaguar is a must when you have the budget for his level 4. He is really a good tank for such a cost. I see myself buying him when I have good amount of DEC. It is fun making this post and I hope you get idea of how much this cards are worth and how to make use of it. Thank you for reading!!
