###### I hope you all were able to purchase the number of **Chaos Legion** packs from the General sale as per you had planned.

###### It was an opportunity for me to sell out some of my long holding tribe coins and purchase few more packs as I could amass 1050 packs to be eligible for 3 each of the 3 new airdrops that will be dropped soon.

###### It's been busy last few days with all these calculations for packs purchase, airdrop calculation and battling it out in between!!!!

###### Here is my blog for this week's **SHARE YOUR BATTLE** challenge with theme monster being **Feral Spirit** from Life splinter.

###### **Feral Spirit** is one of the *most used* monsters being a *sneak* attack monster with good *speed* and good enough *melee* attack for the 3 MANA cost the monster has.

###### You might have observed when you used in battles that, it evades the attack from *melee* and *ranged* attack monsters most of the time.

#### Stats:

</center>

###### For 3 MANA cost, this monster can be a very handy one as it can have a maximum of 4 melee attack with *speed* as high as 7 and decent *health* of 5 at max level.

###### Let's go by each of it's stats with regards to *attack*, *speed*, *health* and also *abilities* it has.

###### The *melee* attack it has starts with a solitary one at level 1, but, it keeps increasing and at level 4, it will be 2 and at level 7, it will be 3 and at max level, i.e. level 10, it will have 4 attack.

###### *Speed* is it's biggest plus as it will be starting with speed of 4 and can go up to 7 which is very good speed and for 3 MANA it's a very good one to have.

###### The *health* for this will start at 2 and it will also keep increasing as we level it up and at max level, it will have 5 *health*.

###### The *abilities* or I should say *ability* as it has a single ability throughout it's 10 levels and it is the *sneak* attack ability.

###### Life Splinter is more of *sneak* attack with **Silvershield Assassin**, **Sand Worm** and **Feral Spirit** will form a good combo of *sneak* attack.

###### This was one of those Low MANA cap battles as it had just 19 MANA cap and the rule sets were interesting ones with *Equalizer* (all monsters having equal health of that of monster with highest health on either side.) and *Rise of the Commons* (No Legendary or Epic monsters can be used in the battle)

###### For this 19 MANA cap battle (3 or 4 for Summoner itself) I used the lineup as below:

## Lineup:

#### 1. Furious Chicken:

<div class=pull-left>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/coolguy123/23y8t6BGoSigNKVxZVGczDRwbfTXSFtzAnvcRTNC8PEZHUkfxNgv4V11F8R7RFvaofEbk.png</div>

###### Since there was just 19 MANA cap and also since the *Equalizer* rule set was on, I used this at the front as it is a monster with *enrage* ability as well.

---

#### 2. Pelacor Conjurer:

<div class=pull-right>
![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/coolguy123/AKe9V2mSHGvUGQa87dPBzx7zYNAuUdHtpiStFWVLNKxP1eySkuGR4cEYXwvgCy2.png)
</div>

###### **Pelacor Conjurer** seems to be the most used monster at **Little League** battles and battles with lower MANA cap as this is having that ability to evade most of the attacks and it is also the one with *magic reflect* to return back the attack by reducing *health* of the monster which attacked.

---

#### 3. Creeping Ooze:

<div class=pull-left>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/coolguy123/23uEyveJzjYg82HtWJHvMu8fAfVGwbjn8TmWxM2df6NSavjYqtjnegc1ErAMFNRxrNYkM.png</div>

###### *Speed* will be very crucial at such low MANA cap battles and I felt using this **Creeping Ooze** will be a better one to *slow down* the monsters on other side.

---

#### 4. Stitch Leech:

<div class=pull-right>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/coolguy123/AKYPwU952Q8MnQisFmJoGkcRQ9dWBZ51soGdzDQAEoax4GvuLFk8Vasi6p6iW34.png</div>

###### This monster is with *Life Leech* ability and is a *sneak* attack monster and most of the low MANA cap battles will have good monsters at the back end and hence, I though of using this to attack the back end monsters.

---

#### 5. Silvershield Assassin:

<div class=pull-left>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/coolguy123/23uFKd9rMeq7YQbZ3xPmJfrhGHumgA2VFRPzP347v7qNwYPa5bGv8RqATFGAGqVEbYADb.png</div>

###### Another *sneak* attack monster is this **Silvershield Assassin** which not only gives 2 *melee* *sneak* attack, but gives it 2 times in each round because of it's *double strike* ability.

###### Another good thing about this monster is, it can even *poison* the monster it attacks.

---

#### 6. Feral Spirit:

<div class=pull-right>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/coolguy123/23uFKXitNKFAF2wPpARxohrqvDunWZShkm79gimLmmfZT7BxA8QhSQXXmMud4vMCnzuP2.png</div>

###### The *theme* monster for this week was used in the last position in my lineup as it can have more chances of evading any *sneak* attack besides giving those 2 useful *sneak* attack.

---

###### Opponent used Life Splinter too but used a different one which increases the *ranged attack* and his monsters were, **Blinding Reflector**, **Pelacor Conjurer**, **Pelacor Arbalest** and **Venari Crystalsmith**.

## Battle:

#### Round 1:

###### While all the attack by opponent was towards front monster, I had chosen to attack the backend monsters.

###### With no armors as such, opponent's monsters were vulnerable to *melee* attack and in this round, opponent lost his **Venari Crystalsmith** and with that, a *tank healer* too.

</center>

---

#### Round 2:

###### The Second round was similar to the First one with opponent losing his other main monster in **Pelacor Arbalest** while my **Furious Chicken** couldn't make it to round 3.

</center>

---

#### Round 3:

###### The other 2 monsters used by opponent in **Blinding Reflector**, **Pelacor Conjurer** got removed even before they could attack in this and with that, the battle ended with an easy victory for me.

## Questions and Answers:

## Did my strategy work? What will I try differently next time?

###### Well, the strategy was simple, place all Zero MANA cost and lesser MANA cost monsters at the front and use some good *speed* *sneak* monsters at the backend and start attacking from back end of the lineup on opponent's monsters and I was successful in that with 2 good *ranged* attack monsters getting removed in First 2 rounds itself.

---

## Do I like the FERAL SPIRIT? Why or why not?

###### I always use it in most of the battles I fight with Life splinter with this, **Silvershield Assassin** and **Sand Worm** making it as a team of *sneak* attackers.

###### The reason for this is that, I try to attract all the attack towards **Shieldbearer** at the front and keep attacking the back end monsters from opponent and finish it off.

###### That was fun and a short battle.

###### I am sure you all are eagerly waiting for the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth cards to be airdropped for **Chaos Legion** and me too :)

###### Let's all hope there will be good number of cards returned and I wasn't lucky so far to get a gold foiled one from airdrops and hope atleast this time, I will be lucky.

## <center>Thanks and Have a good day :)</center>
