Introduction


Hi! @saydie here playing Splinterlands everyday!

This is Exploring the Chaos where I take a look on Chaos Legion cards including their subsets such as Riftwatchers and the Reward cards, as they brought new abilities and strategies that changes how the game was played.

For the latest series of my review, I finally have the opportunity to take a deep dive on the core Chaos Legion set after finally being done with the rewards and subset so I started with the core commons. So far, I am done with the Fire, Water, Life, Earth and Death Elements and for Dragon, I won't be able to review them until I'm in Legendary so for this week, I will go to review the Neutral Element.

Battle 1: Chaos Agent

Keep Your Distance
Monsters with 00-melee.png Melee attack may not be used in battle.

For this battle, I only have 23 mana to use with and come with the Equal Opportunity rule set and since I have spare mana and monster slot, I placed Chaos Agent as my 3rd monster so that the enemy will target it first before the rest of my monsters. As the card has the dodge ability, it was able to dodge attacks when Venary Marksrat and Igor Darkspear and was able to damage their armor even if it cannot attack because of the Backfire ability.

Counterspell
All monsters have the magic reflect.png Magic Reflect ability.

For this battle, I have 31 mana to spare with the Weak Magic and Counterspell rule set in play so it is less likely that my opponent will focus on melee and range and since I cannot use Baakjira on with the available rule set, I improvised and placed Scavo Hireling in place of it to make my opponent slower and it did a good job at slowing my opponent team and has allowed my team to be able to attack while at the same time, it also was able to dodge some attacks before it was defeated.

On the other hand, Suppply Runner not only makes my team faster, it also increases the health of my team which has allowed them to last longer in play. It was also able to deal some armor damage on Diemonshark before it was placed on the 1st where it cannot attack and despite it was also able to evade some attacks because of its speed.

Little League
Only monsters with 00-melee.png Melee attack may be used in battle

This battle has 53 mana cost and can only use melee monsters but at the same time, there was Super Sneak so all of the monsters have gained the sneak ability. There was really nothing special in particular of this battle where I have the same set of monsters with my opponent and the only different thing was the positioning but at the same time, although Disintegrator does not contribute much on the damage part, it's absence could immediately cause my defeat as the opponent team would be able to have more damage than me in this battle of attrition match.

Final Thoughts


I'm now on the sixth week of my review for the core common cards of Chaos Legion and has tackled the Neutral element. Compare to the other elements, it has way fewer number of cards available but this was filled with the cards flexibility to be able to be able to be played with other elements. Among the 1 mana CL cards, Chaos Agent was the best and can really come in handy even against magic attacks for its ability to dodge them and to inflict damage afterwards. Speed is also a very vital to gain better advantage on most battles so having Supply Runner easily accessible increases the chance that a match could be win. I also have won many games with the armor repair and slow of Scavo Hireling so its nice that it was a neutral card.

And that was it for this review. See you on my next post!
