Showing the Power of Speed in Splinterlands

2 days ago

Speed is one of the attributes I value most in Splinterlands since it will define who attacks first and will also define the monster's chances of dodging attacks.

When it comes to speed, one of my favorite summoners is Conqueror Jacek, he will increase the speed of all my monsters by +2 and will also grant all of them the abilities Scattershot and Piercing.

Scattershot - With this ability the monster will randomly attack enemy monsters. This ability only affects monsters with magic attacks and ranged attacks, monsters with melee attacks will attack normally.

Piercing - With this ability the monster will cause excess damage to the armor in the enemy monster's life, this means that if an enemy monster has 2 armor and your monster with the ability Piercing causes 4 damage, then the enemy monster's armor will be destroyed and it will still receive 2 damage in its life.

When I use the summoner Conqueror Jacek, I like to use monsters that increase the speed of my monsters even more because the more speed the better (except in the Reverse Speed rule).

Link to the Battle

This battle is a good example of my strategy with Conqueror Jacek, in it there are 3 rules which are: Unprotected, Maneuvers and Close Range.

Unprotected - In this rule all monsters lose their armor, this means that any base armor or armor received by abilities will be destroyed immediately as soon as the battle begins.

Maneuvers - in this rule all monsters will receive the ability Reach, this means that with this ability monsters with melee attack will be able to attack in second position.

Close Range - In this rule, all monsters will receive the Close ability, which means that monsters with ranged attacks will be able to attack in the first position.

My main strategy for this battle is to increase the speed of my monsters as much as possible and decrease the speed of my opponent's monsters. To do this, I selected 3 monsters: Scavo Chemist, Supply Runner and Countess Sinash.

Scavo Chemist - This monster has the Slow ability, which means that it will reduce the speed of all my opponent's monsters by -1 while he is in battle.

Supply Runner - This monster has the Swiftness ability, which means that it will increase the speed of all my monsters by +1 while he is in battle.

Countess Sinash - This monster has the Swiftness ability, which means that it will increase the speed of all my monsters by +1 while he is in battle.

With these buffs and debuffs, I will have a good advantage over my opponent since the chances of my monsters attacking first are high.

My opponent also chose the fire deck and I also selected the monsters Supply Runner and Countess Sinash, but the speed of my monsters is still superior and even though he had more firepower I was still the one who came out victorious since my monsters attacked first and also because they dodged a good amount of my opponent's attacks.
