0.000 HBDDay of Last Stand and Martyr
<center></center> <div class="text-justify"> ### **Translated by [ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com/ "chatgpt")**. Today my day on **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock "underlock splinterlands")** started off quite funny because the first four matches I played were very similar, all focusing on the **Last Stand** https://i.imgur.com/jma006B.png and/or **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png abilities. These abilities work well, especially in survival-focused matches that usually feature Rule Sets like **Earthquake** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/1/14/Combat-rule_earthquake.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022 and **Noxious Fumes** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/8/80/Combat-rule_noxious-fumes.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022, or in situations where the low mana available favors choosing a single extremely buffed card with these effects. The coincidence was that I got a streak of battles with these characteristics and tried to apply both mentioned abilities in different compositions, generating good material for us to analyze, so that’s what we will do today. --- # **Battle 1** <center></center> This first battle was the easiest choice of all, as there were only 13 mana available, and with the **Earth** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/a/a4/Splinter-earth.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/15?cb=20210212224207 element available, there is a card in my collection that fits perfectly in this space. If you are an older player, you surely remember the once-feared **Kron the Undying**. <center>[](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_10800de58d58b26e0e777fcfad6f60cd&ref=underlock)</center> Although his glory days have passed with the release of new collections, Kron is still a very useful Ace in low mana matches, especially if you own him at level 3. Since he possesses the **Last Stand** https://i.imgur.com/jma006B.png ability himself, you don’t need to rely on the Llama summoner to unleash his full potential. Even though it worked well in this battle, this strategy has a major flaw due to the lack of a **Cleanse** https://imgur.com/bU5XReT.png to protect Kron. The presence of a **Doctor Blight**, for example, is enough to completely break this strategy, where the Llama is sorely missed. --- # **Battle 2** <center></center> Next, I encountered these Rule Sets, and since I was eager to use **Kron the Undying**, I decided to create another strategy with this focus, but this time leveraging **Equal Opportunity** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/f4/Combat-rule_equal-opportunity.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022 to direct enemy attacks towards my **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png cards. The idea was to apply this buff twice on Kron and then leave him alone on the field to activate **Last Stand** https://i.imgur.com/jma006B.png and create an unstoppable killing machine. <center>[](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_88624723ec298dc9276bca09d234efe9&ref=underlock)</center> The idea seemed good, and I believed it would work, but I didn’t count on an opponent doing something similar, but worse. While I tried to make Kron extremely powerful, my opponent focused on repeatedly reviving his **Venari Marksrat** to apply **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png again and again to his cards, making them extremely buffed. Even though I managed to achieve my goal and place Kron on the field with **Last Stand** https://i.imgur.com/jma006B.png and two **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png effects, my opponent activated three https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png effects on two units, raising their damage capacity to absurd levels. <center></center> Just the **Drybone Raider** is capable of dealing 20 DAMAGE in a round, making Kron’s survival impossible. If I had broadened my horizons and done the same with my own Raider, things might have turned out differently. --- # **Battle 3** Notice that in both cases, there were major flaws in my strategy. With so many new cards and abilities released with the new **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock "underlock splinterlands")** collections, it has become difficult to rely on just one card to do all the work because there are countless ways to stop such advances. A big one was my third battle, which seemed to be just a replay of the first but with the benefit of using an extra **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png card. However, things didn’t turn out that way. <center>[](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_d404709ce2d43135faa470f632e26bd8&ref=underlock)</center> The idea seemed great, but the presence of two cards with **Immunity** https://imgur.com/x2ActeT.png and the **Stun** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_stun.png ability completely broke my strategy. The sequence of Stuns applied prevented my healing entirely, and little by little, Kron was defeated. In this specific situation, I admit I failed miserably in my decision because I should have opted for Kron if there had been 17 mana available to pair him with the **Scarred Llama Mage** summoner. But since that wasn’t the case, the best choice would certainly have been **Quora Towerhead** since she also possesses the **Immunity** https://imgur.com/x2ActeT.png ability, which would protect her from the continuous damage of **Noxious Fumes** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/8/80/Combat-rule_noxious-fumes.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022 and also prevent her from being **Stunned** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_stun.png. <center>https://images.hive.blog/250x250/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/gladius/Quora%20Towershead_lv3.png</center> Not to mention that **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png + potential kills would be much more effective by increasing Quora’s two types of damage. This is yet another reflection I could draw from today’s sequence of battles, and I hope not to make the same mistakes in the next matches.

Elas funcionam bem principalmente em partidas com foco na sobrevivência que geralmente contam com Rule Sets como **Earthquake** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/1/14/Combat-rule_earthquake.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022 e **Noxious Fumes** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/8/80/Combat-rule_noxious-fumes.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022 , ou em situações onde a pouca mana disponível favorece a escolha de uma única carta extramemente buffada com esses efeitos. A coincidência foi que eu peguei uma sequência de batalhas com essas características e tentei aplicar ambas as habilidades mencionadas em composições diferentes, gerando um bom material para analisarmos, portanto é isso que faremos hoje. --- # **Batalha 1** <center></center> Essa primeira batalha foi a escolha mais fácil dentre todas, pois havendo apenas 13 de mana disponível e com o elemento **Terra** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/a/a4/Splinter-earth.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/15?cb=20210212224207 disponível, há uma carta na minha coleção que consegue se encaixar perfeitamente nesse espaço. Se vocês forem mais antigos, com certeza devem se lembrar do outrora temido **Kron the Undying**. <center>[](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_10800de58d58b26e0e777fcfad6f60cd&ref=underlock)</center> Apesar de seus tempos de glória já terem passado com o lançamento das novas coleções, o Kron ainda é um Ás muito útil em partidas com pouca mana disponível, principalmente se você possuí-lo em sua coleção no level 3 pois ao possuir ele próprio a habilidade **Last Stand** https://i.imgur.com/jma006B.png é possível não depender da invocadora Llama para extrair todo seu potencial. Mesmo tendo funcionado adequadamente nessa batalha, essa estratégia possui uma falha grave por não possuir um **Cleanse** https://imgur.com/bU5XReT.png para proteger o Kron. A presença de um **Doctor Blight** por exemplo é suficiente para quebrar completamente essa estratégia, nesse ponto a Llama faz bastante falta. --- # **Batalha 2** <center></center> Na sequência eu me deparei com essas Rule Sets e aproveitando do ânimo em utilizar o **Kron the Undying**, resolvi montar outra estratégia com esse foco, mas dessa vez aproveitando o **Equal Opportunity** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/f4/Combat-rule_equal-opportunity.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022 para direcionar os ataques do inimigo para minhas cartas que possuem a habilidade **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png. A ideia seria aplicar esse buff duas vezes no Kron e depois deixá-lo sozinho em campo para ativar o **Last Stand** https://i.imgur.com/jma006B.png e criar uma máquina de matar imparável. <center>[](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_88624723ec298dc9276bca09d234efe9&ref=underlock)</center> A ideia parecia boa e acreditei que funcionaria, porém não contava com um oponente que faria algo parecido só que pior. Enquanto eu tentei deixar só o Kron extremamente poderoso, meu adversário focou em reviver várias vezes seu **Venari Marksrat** para aplicar o **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png de novo e de novo em suas cartas, deixando-as extremamente buffadas. Mesmo que eu tenha conseguido atingir meu objetivo e colocar o Kron com **Last Stand** https://i.imgur.com/jma006B.png e dois efeitos de **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png em campo, meu adversário ativou três efeitos de https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png em duas unidades, elevando a capacidade de dano dessas cartas a patamares absurdos. <center></center> Apenas a **Drybone Raider** é capaz de causar 20 DE DANO em uma rodada, tornando impossível a sobrevivência do Kron. Se eu tivesse aberto meus horizontes e feito a mesma coisa com a minha própria Raider, talvez as coisas tivessem sido diferentes. --- # **Batalha 3** Perceba que em ambos os casos houveram grandes pontos de falha na minha estratégia. Com tantas novas cartas e habilidades que foram lançadas com as novas coleções do **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock "underlock splinterlands")**, tornou-se difícil depender de apenas uma carta para fazer todo o trabalho pois existem inúmeras formas de parar esse avanço. Um grande foi a minha terceira batalha que aparentava ser apenas um replay da primeira, mas com o benefício de poder utilizar uma carta com **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png extra, porém não foi assim que funcionou. <center>[](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_d404709ce2d43135faa470f632e26bd8&ref=underlock)</center> A ideia parecia ótima, porém a presença de duas cartas com **Immunity** https://imgur.com/x2ActeT.png e a habilidade **Stun** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_stun.png quebrou completamente a minha estratégia. A sequência de Stuns aplicados impediu completamente a minha cura e pouco a pouco o Kron foi sendo derrotado. Nessa situação em específico eu admito que falhei miseravelmente na decisão, pois deveria ter optado pelo Kron se houvesse 17 de mana disponível para combiná-lo com o invocador **Scarred Llama Mage**, mas como não foi esse o caso a melhor escolha com certeza seria a **Quora Towerhead** por também possuir a habilidade **Immunity** https://imgur.com/x2ActeT.png que a livraria do dano contínuo do **Noxious Fumes** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/8/80/Combat-rule_noxious-fumes.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022 e ainda lhe impediria de receber o **Stun** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_stun.png. <center>https://images.hive.blog/250x250/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/gladius/Quora%20Towershead_lv3.png</center> Sem falar que o **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png + os possíveis abates seriam muito mais efetivos por aumentarem os dois tipos de dano da Quora. Essa é mais uma das reflexões que pude tirar dessa sequência de batalhas de hoje e espero não cometer os mesmos erros nas próximas partidas.
