Hi there, How are you today?

Welcome to my weekly Splinterlands postfirst Splinterlands post, I always write about Splinterlands during Weekends. Splinterlands is an amazing Trading Card Game on Hive Blockchain, and we, the players, love to share about our journey, tactics, tips and anything about this game every week.

Today is a good day for me, because I manage to accumulate more than 125.000 Glint balance. Why this becomes something good? Because I can buy another Gold foil EPIC soulbound reward card form the Rebellion edition.

It's not something that difficult or expensive anyway, we play Splinterlands and get Glint point everytime we win a battle, so this one is free because the concept is to reward people who playing Splinterlands. So here I come to the rewards shop to pick an Epic Gold Foil Draw there

I just got a Shock Trooper. Well this card looks amazing but actually this is one of the card that is hard to use. I even made a post about it last week, so it feels like a bad luck for me, after badmouthing this card, I got this card LoL. Anyway this is my post about it:

Because I have talked about it before, this time I will make it simple. I do not like to repeat something that I have posted before. So here we try to get Shock Trooper as the winning side.

Shock Trooper is a heavy hitter, so number-wise he is awesome but we should count in his Electrified ability which actually it is a suicidal traits. It will damage 1 health point to your own team members. So if you want to exploit Shock Trooper 4 Magic Damage, you have to pay with that self damage per round condition.

So here I will share a battle about using Shock Trooper. Personally I do not believe he will be excellent in little league ruleset, because most of the time you will see Xenith Monk as the main tank.

Higher Level Xenith Monk will get a void ability, and this makes him as anti magic mini tank. This is a good match to withstand Shock Trooper attacking power. This is why I dislike to say Shock Trooper will be excellent in small mana cap battle.

Ok let's check our battle now

HIGHLIGHTED BATTLE

This is the battle I pick for today. I have used several times to get appropriate battles, but most of the time my opponents were too bad or I lost badly in the battle. This one is not ideally balance, but I think it is quite ok because my opponent came with a good preparation.

I think my opponent wants to make a Splinterlands post too LoL. I see his cards were dominated by soulbound cards. Maybe he is tweaking with that Fizbo the Fabious. don't know for sure but let's see how this would go

• The battle started with both side buffing their team and debuffing their opponent. The funny thing was both of us using the same defense meta, we used thorn in the back
• They came with 8 Melee damage, 4 magic damaage and 2 range damage, which made a combined 14 damage per round.
• My team had 8 Melee damage, 6 magic damage and 3 range damage. So we had a combined 17 per round.
• My team hit harder and move faster. I think this is how we make use of Shock Trooper, get in hit first and makes a kill in every round.

• My team dominated the first round, we killed that Venari Knifer first before he made a move.
• This round started with my team was still in complete form and we really exploited our speed. We managed to kill that Quora Towershead before she could do anything.

• Round 3 started with 4 vs 6 condition, my team was still complete full squad. In this situation we could say I already won the battle because they did not have anymore tank size unit and I still had 17 damage per round fire power.
• My team managed to put down two of their units in this round.

• They managed to hang on until round 4. However this was the last one.

• as My deeplurker killed their Quilliun Legionary, it ended the battle there. Good Game.

---

I will be fair here, that's not quite intense battle. Both side still trying to figure out how to exploit their own Soulbound cards. But in general, we can say that if we want to win with Shock Trooper, we can not play defensively. We must go all out attack, exploit the high damage and don't forget build up the speed.

The slower you kill your opponent, the more rounds you need to end the battle, the bigger risk you bear of having Shock Trooper Electrified ability kill your own line up first.

that's all for today post, and Thanks for coming and let's meet in Splinterlands Battles!!
