Splinterlands: Beware Trees in Anumün May Come Alive
Evening Splinterlands Fans
Time for the SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge.
This week we are gonna go with the amazing earth splinter monster that draws its mystical power from the land itself, EARTH ELEMENTAL
. EARTH ELEMENTAL
is a rare earth splinter ranged monster that comes in both alpha and beta editions. Costing just 3 mana, it have decent health. At level-4 it even gets Heal ability making him a nice defensive monster. Although having very low speed, it can still be pretty useful.
I own only level-2 EARTH ELEMENTAL
and @neoxian was kind enough to lend me maxed alpha EARTH ELEMENTAL
for this. Due to my low level summoner, I could only summon level-6 EARTH ELEMENTAL
but still I loved using it. Thanks @neoxian sir, for the kind delegation.
Currently there are 3,334 normal foil and 160 gold foil Alpha EARTH ELEMENTAL
s in circulation, costing 0.54$/BCX and 26$/BCX respectively. Also there are 7,477 normal and 502 gold foil Beta EARTH ELEMENTAL
s circulating, pricing 0.27$/BCX and 3.88$/BCX respectively. The price of alpha foil EARTH ELEMENTAL
is staggering.
Here is the all time price trend of Normal and Gold Foil Alpha and Beta EARTH ELEMENTAL
, courtesy SPLINTX. Surprising to see the recent surge due to this battle challenge.
Favored Battle Rules
EARTH ELEMENTAL
can be used in all battle rules. But it is best suited in Reverse Speed battle rule due to inherent low speed. EARTH ELEMENTAL
is best suited Little League and Close Range rule set.
Placement
EARTH ELEMENTAL
like all ranged attack monsters are best suited in back ranks. It can be placed on the very last position to act as a sneak protector due to Heal ability.
How to Use
EARTH ELEMENTAL
can be complemented in variety of ways using various summoners and monsters.
ARCHMAGE ARIUS
,PRINCE RENNYN
andSELENIA SKY
summoners can be used to increase ranged attack ofEARTH ELEMENTAL
.
DRAKE OF ARNAK
,SCARRED LLAMA MAGE
andMYLOR CROWLING
summoners also nicely complementEARTH ELEMENTAL
.
- Shield from protect ability monsters can provide extra protection to
EARTH ELEMENTAL
.
Defense
The best way to evade EARTH ELEMENTAL
is by using speed. It can also be killed by using heavy sneak and opportunity attacks.
MY BATTLE USING SCREAMING BANSHEE
This was a 18 mana battle with two battle rule, Target Practice and Reverse Speed.
Battle Link
MY LINEUP
LYANNA NATURA
Since it was low mana battle, so I went with low mana summoner, LYANNA NATURA
. I love using earth splinter in low mana battles, due to amazing low cost monsters it offers.
FAILED SUMMONER
Upfront I placed my favorite low mana tank, FAILED SUMMONER
. Heavy health with Magic Reflect at just 2 mana, couldn't ask for more.
EARTH ELEMENTAL
On one down position, I placed star of our show, EARTH ELEMENTAL
. EARTH ELEMENTAL
can take the expected snipe damage due to Heal ability.
FURIOUS CHICKEN
Next I placed the zero mana monster, FURIOUS CHICKEN
. I wouldn't risk placing it in the very last and risk suppressing last stand of KRON THE UNDYING
.
KRON THE UNDYING
On the very last, I took a gamble and placed one of my favorite legendary, KRON THE UNDYING
. The Last Stand with Heal is really a nice combination.
BATTLE ANALYSIS
This was unusual lineup for me. I took a gamble with KRON THE UNDYING
and it worked. EARTH ELEMENTAL
did its job pretty well of attacking the enemy and absorbing the damage upfront. KRON
also tackled sneak attack pretty nicely. Overall it was a fun battle to fight.
That will be all for today.
Take very good care of yourself and people close to you..
Until next time...

Thanks for sharing! - @marianaemilia
Great tips! I also like to use it in the second position to absorb snipe shots, as you did in your battle. Good strategy with Kron in the last position.
