Splinterlands share your battle: PIT OGRE feat. EXPLODING DWARF - KABOOOM! šŸ’£

(Edited)

Let's start from the beginnings:









League: Diamond III šŸ’Ž
AIM TRUE + TAKING SLIDES
Mana cap: 26

Allowed splinters: fire, life, earth, dragons.

I took a rapid look to my opponent (@kawash)'s last battles but it didn't gave me a clear view of its intentions: both earth and life at high level.

Background

I love taking slides because it removes from the game Lord Ariantus.. Really annoying card if you don't own it šŸ˜
I hate Aim true because it removes most of advantages of my speedy fire splinter.

Infact, in medium mana matches I normally play Serpentine soldier because combined with my Pyre's +1 speed it's quite hard to hit by melee and ranged. This advantage is removed by "aim true", so I moved to the other medium-mana tank of fire splinter: PIT OGRE.
Normally I play Pit Ogre when I expect from my opponent more magic attacks (defenitely the big weakness of serpentine soldier) and I combine to him a Beetle Queen or some faster arrow to remove the armor to tank opponent (Spark Pixie is great)

But stop wrinting boring stuffs šŸ“ššŸ“ššŸ˜“šŸ’¤šŸ’¤ let's battle!

My tactic

Actually, not even Pit Ogre is a perfect option for AIM TRUE rule set because he is vulnerable to melee and ranged attacks.
So I rapidly decided for a clear "all-in" tactic: Attack first, attack strong.
šŸ‘ŠšŸ‘ŠšŸ‘ŠšŸ‘ŠšŸ‘Š
My lineup was the following:

The double inspire is the cherry on the cake šŸ’

The risks

  • If the opponent plays fast cards on my Dwarf (I.E. Javelin thrower or Air Elemental), I lose.
  • If the first double attack (dwarf + pit ogre) does not kills my opponent's tank , I will probably lose.
    Anyway, seen the last matches of my opponent, out of neutral monsters and out of death splinter I thought I could take those risks.

So RUMBLE!

... and KABOOOOM! šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ’„

Dwarf Exploded... twice āœŒļø . Then PIT OGRE ruled! šŸ˜Ž

My risky tactic perfectly worked and I won šŸ†. These are the matches that let me love this game.
Of course I can't always play this way because it is really easy to beat.. I think 1 game each 5 can be played like this.

This is the classical battle where everything runs well and your monsters can freely unleash their huge power!
I really enjoyed playing it šŸ†šŸ˜Š

Cheers

Thanks!

I recorded a video and then converted it to gif.. I used https://www.freescreenrecording.com/ for the video and https://ezgif.com/video-to-gif for the gif.. But I'm not an expert, maybe there are better tools out there ;)
