Splinterlands: SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR's Reaching Hard to be in the Competition
Hello Splinterlands Fans
Time for the SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge.
I think Carrie was feeling Nostalgic as she choose SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR for this week's Battle Challenge. I remember this guy from the old days, when I used to use it. So here we are for the old times sake.
SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
is a common life monster. It has low melee attack with small health and low speed(like most of the common monsters). Apart from the Ginger Beard, its only redeemable quality is that it has Reach ability right from the Level-1.
I own only level 4 SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
. Like I said, I used to use it in earlier days, but with the advent of new Reach monsters with improved ability, I never looked back and upgraded it. The Beta version is currently trading at 0.017$/bcx and the Beta gold foil version is going at 0.48$/bcx. Alpha version is selling at 0.032$/bcx and Alpha Gold Foil is trading at 2.69$/bcx.
No offence, SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
was a nice monster in Reach ability genre in his day when limited number of Reach monsters were there, but now so with many others better Reach options(life + neutral+dragon ) available(costing same or less mana), it gets difficult to choose SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
(even for the battle challenge).
Favored Battle Rules
Since SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
is only 4 mana life monster with Reach ability, so it is best for Little League + Taking Sides battle rule set.
SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
can also work well in Equalizer, Rise of the Commons, Melee Mayhem, Weak Magic, Lost Magic, Armored Up, Up Close and Personal, Aim True and Super Sneak battle rules. Due to low speed it works even better is Reverse Speed battle rule.
Placement
Since SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
has reach ability right from the Level-1 so it is best suited at one down position.
In Melee Mayhem or Super Sneak battle rules it can be placed anywhere in back ranks.
How to Use
SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
can be complemented with abilities and positive buffs using summoners and monsters. e.g.
Giving increased melee attack by Inspire ability or summoners.
Adding extra shield from summoners or monsters is a nice play. Heal, Triage and Repair abilities can also be helpful.
Positive health attribute from Triumph ability monsters or Summoners to improve the low health.
Since SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
has by default low speed so having speed(positive/negetive) attributes from summoners or monsters is also advised.
Defense
The best way to take out SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
is by using Magic and Blast attacks. Ranged snipe attack with Piercing is also a good option.
Being inherently weak SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
can easily be killed by using Thorns ability tanks.
Since SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
has by default low speed so having speed(positive/negative as per battle rule) attributes from summoners or monsters can also greatly reduce the its efficacy.
MY BATTLE USING SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
This was a 44 mana battle with one battle rules, Taking Sides.
MY LINEUP
TYRUS PALADIUM
I choose to play with TYRUS PALADIUM
since it is my most upgraded life Summoner. Due to high mana battle, CHANSEUS THE GREAT
and THE PEAKRIDER
could also be used (if available).
SHIELDBEARER
Since this was high mana battle so, I decided to use heavy taunt tank.
SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
HIGH PRIEST DARIUS
SILVERSHIELD ASSASSIN
Double Sneak attack with poison, God, I love this killer. A match winner indeed.
DIVINE HEALER
SILVERSHIELD SHERIFF
BATTLE ANALYSIS
The battle went as planned. SHIELDBEARER
did its job of standing its ground and kept the enemy busy. Also the Resurrect ability did came in handy. SILVERSHIELD WARRIOR
did the job of Reach attacker petty well. SILVERSHIELD ASSASSIN
went on with Poisonous Sneaky attacks to eat the enemy from the back. SHERRIFF'
s snip attack also took care of certain problems pretty well.
That will be all for today. Take very good care of yourself and people close to you.. Until next time... 👋Adios👋
