Chaos Legion Soulbound Reward Cards Entry #5

05 Puppet & Coyotian.jpg

Hello Splinterlands Community,

This is Entry #5 of the soulbound reward cards under the Chaos Legion Edition. Last week I have shared my insight about Drybone Barbarian and Imperial Knight which is really a powerful monsters from the life splinter. In this post, I will be sharing my insight and thought for Wily Coyotian and Possessed Puppet from the Death Splinter, both having a common rarity.

For those who are new to my post, I usually post information which is related in the Silver League Modern Format.

🔪 Possessed Puppet

Possessed Puppet.png

  • Possessed Puppet is a high speed damager dealing a double attack.

  • Looking at the stats, Possessed Puppet deals a 2 to 4 melee attack with a high speed ranging from 3 to 5 but with a low health of only 3 to 5.

  • In terms of ability, the double strike gives Possessed Puppet an advantage in dealing damages as this card will attack twice in each round.

  • Another thing for a ★6 Possessed Puppet is the cripple ability which is good addition since Possessed Puppet can attack twice in each round, this will reduce the overall health of a monster twice as well.

  • Maximizing the level of Possessed Puppet unlocks the Dispel ability. This seems to be a pretty rare ability for a melee monster.

  • One thing that I don't like for this card is the 7 mana cost. I think that it is a little high for a monster with low health, high attack and dealing double strike. With Dhampir Infiltrator for a cost of 4 mana, I would choose that card over Possessed Puppet to reduce mana cost.

  • I would say that this card is good to use for equal opportunity, melee mayhem and super sneak so this card can attack in the backline.

  • My personal rating for this card is : 2.5/5

Combo Cards

In terms of summoner, it seems that Astral entity is one of the best summoner to pair with Possessed Puppet while other summoners are okay as well. Using the riftwatcher summoner Dhalan won't have much impact for this card as there is already cripple for this monster.

Card
Advantage/Disadvantage
Astral Entity
Astral Entity gives the dodge ability which further enhance Possessed Puppet capability in dodging attacks. With the -2 armor, the double attack from Possessed Puppet can have a much good chance against armored opponents.

In terms of monsters, I don't see a pretty great combination for this card in death splinter. This card I think can be use and play with anyone.

Counter Cards

In terms of counter cards, monsters with thorns ability are the great cards against Possessed Puppet because of its low health.

Mylor is one of the great enemies for summoner against Possessed Puppet.

🐕 Wily Coyotian

Wily Coyotian.png

  • Wily Coyotian is a 2 mana cost card which is use for defense.

  • Looking at the stats, Wily Coyotian seems not that powerful since this card is only 2 mana cost. This card deals a 1-2 damage so this card really don't have much impact in attack. This card do have a high speed of 2 to 4 with 1 to 3 armor and a 2 to 6 health. The stat design of this card is pretty for defense purposes.

  • In terms of ability, this card don't have any until such time that this card is use in gold league with a ★6 level. The phase ability is a good against magic attack.

  • This card may seems to be somehow look like Chaos Agent but with a higher health. If i will chose, I will prefer to use Chaos Agent over Wily Coyotian becaue Chaos Agent can be attack by snipe attack and this card do have a dodge and backfire ability. I do believe Wily Coyotian should have more abilities.

  • If there is an equalizer, Wily Coyotian can be use as defense in the frontline.

  • My personal rating for this card is : 1.5/5

Combo Cards

In terms of summoner, I do believe that Astral Entity is the best one to use this only if there is an equalizer ruleset in play. Other than that, I don't think other use for this card.

Card
Advantage/Disadvantage
Astral Entity
Astral Entity gives the dodge ability in which Wily Coyote can also dodge all different kinds of attack which is melee and range attack for dodge ability and magic attack for phase ability.

Just make sure that there is a equalizer ruleset especially in high mana battle to use this card as defense.

In terms of monster synergy, I believe that those with swiftness and sloww ability is good with Wily Coyotian to further improve the phase ability.

Below are the monster with the swiftness ability that can be use with Wily Coyotian

Monster

Cursed Windeku

Supply Runner

Venator Kinjo

Counter Cards

In terms of counter cards, I think most of the monster can defeat Wily Coyotian as I still don't see this card having a pretty good in terms of defense but when it comes to nullifying the it's phase ability and high speed, a monster with true strike ability is the key however there is no magic monster yet that have true strike ability

☠️ Closing Remarks

Possessed Puppet and Wily Coyotian are the two new common card addition to the death splinter. In terms of usage, I think that these two cards is very hard to use such as Possessed Puppet do have a nice attack but with a high mana cost and a little low health for a 7 mana cost. I might use this card when the ruleset allows me to use Possessed Puppet to utilize its attack from the backline.

Wily Coyotian seems to be useless especially in low league as the Phase ability only unlocks starting from Gold League. In terms of the stats it does not excel as well as this card won't damage enough but the mana cost of this card is only 2. For defense, it might delayed and absorb some attacks. In my opinion, I might be using this card for equalizer ruleset.

How do you think Possessed Puppet and Wily Coyotian is?

Thank you for reading! See you next week for the Entry #6 which will be covering Gobson Bomber and Dumacke Orc from the Neutral Splinter.
