Splinterlands Challenge of the Week: Water Elemental
This week's [Splinterlands Challenge of the Week](https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/share-your-battle-weekly-challenge-water-elemental) was to showcase the Water Elemental from the Water Splinter

https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/beta/Water%20Elemental_lv8.png

This is one of the cheaper rare Beta cards and one of the first I maxed out. It's a pretty decent card to play at the back of a deck - 5 mana, 4 damage, quite fast, dodge, so good against sneak and reasonable health with self heal

He doesn't have any real weaknesses, so TBH it's a bit of a mystery to me why I don't see him played so often! 

The battle below features a [classic line up featuring the Elemental](https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=d20723024968594444c500e34b4208e69a27732d), in which he plays a pretty central role in dealing out some decent damage! 

### The Rule Set and Line Up 

- Mana 38 - fine for a 5 Mana card
- Earthquake - perfect for a self healer
- Knockout - Nice for a 3 damage, fast card.

**Summoner - Valnamor!**

- Lord A - still one of the best for Earthquake, with shield
- Medusa - for stun
- The Genie - flying and damage
- Phantom - ditto!
- Earth Elemental - self heal and decent damage
- The Crustacean - protect and heal - both good for earthquake! 

### Did my strategy work?

Beautifully, to see it in action [click here](https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=d20723024968594444c500e34b4208e69a27732d).

- Round 1 - I take out my opponent's Tank - The Water Elemental does his bit!
- Round 2 - I take out his Phantasm, Phantom Soldier and finally his Dark Enchantress reflects herself to death, but she does take out my Lord A. I also get his Vampire. 
- Round 3 - Earthquake finishes off his remaining card. 

### How important was The Water Elemental?

Well he played his role - 3 damage in an absolute carnage match. 

It was also nice to have something that wasn't magic given that's what my opponent was set up to defend against. 

### Water Elemental - Worth Levelling Up?

This was one of the first cards I ever levelled up so I've got a bit of a soft spot for him, and he's cheap to take up the levels. 

I can't see any real weakness either tbh - this is a decent all round budget card! 

The only mystery to me is why he's got such a low win rate higher up the orders, probably due to lack of buffs and better alternatives - but for me he's still a by and max, he can come in handy! 

If you don't yet play Splinterlands, why not give it a go?

Anyone using my [referral link](https://splinterlands.com?ref=revisesociology) will receive a free rare card!
