Shire Knacker Battle Tips: Perfect Positioning to Unleash Its Snipe Ability

Loving the MOO The Healer That Keeps Your Tank Alive.png

In todays battle it was a little confusing for me because in 31 mana I got to see monsters which I did not like. I was thinking to use the same high mana strategy but every strategy does not work in every mana battle.

Today I noted very well that in every mana battle it should have a different strategy. So in high mana battle my strategy was that I keep a tank in the front and after that keep aggressive and support monsters.

In mid mana that did not work. I applied the same old strategy kept a strong tank monster in front then selected with support and aggressive monsters but unfortunately this strategy did not succeed and my monsters got eliminated one by one.

Whereas my opponent selected excellent monsters and came into this battle with excellent strategy. Therefore in this battle I got defeated but still it is not a matter of worry because for the last few days I am on a continuous win streak and I keep winning battles continuously.

Anyway my first tank monster fought for a long time in this battle and survived for quite a long time while my previous attackers and support did not show very good performance. I got to see very few effective hits while from the opponent I got to take a lot of damage.

In such a situation it becomes a little difficult to underestimate the opponent. That is why we should select such monsters which always take your team on a winning streak. Well in this battle my favorite monster was Shire Knacker.

If I talk about its characteristics then it has a lot of abilities. First of all it belongs to Death Splinter. Its rarity is common and mana cost is 5 meaning in every mana battle it is an excellent monster for selection. Its ranged attack is 3, armor 5, health 5 and speed 3.

As far as I saw its three abilities I liked very much which are Snipe, Invigorate and Rust. In Snipe it happens that it targets units which stay behind the tank. This is its specialty meaning the weak monsters which stay after tank monsters it continuously targets them.

If I talk about its second ability it is Invigorate meaning it works as a charging effect. So it continuously charges its allied units. The third ability Rust is such that it gives -2 armor debuff to all enemy units.

That means every round it reduces -2 armor so that attackers can attack more easily and deal maximum damage.

About where to place this monster in the battle I think its role is in the mid position. It can stay in mid position for a long time, use its abilities and at the same time its Snipe ability can keep doing damage to enemy units.

Also this monster is very good against high armor teams because its Rust ability weakens their defense and keeps pressure sustained on them.

Like other monsters it also has some weaknesses which are low speed, moderate health and armor and mana dependency. Its speed is low so its attacks are slow which is its huge draw back.

What do you people think about this monster? Have you ever played with this monster? Tell about its any ability you know. Will be glad to see your answers in the comment section.
