It's amazing that some updates happen behind the scenes and you notice them only when they blast you with positivity. About the same with Conflicts rewards!
I embraced the concept of the Conflicts as a casual player, but slowly started to hate it! I had few wagons, bad cards, and my chances for were always low! But I didn't stop hoping!
I slowly got more wagons, filled them with better cards, and improved my chances with each season. However... nothing changed! Eleven Conflicts gone by and getting zero cards was frustrating.
Had low expectations for the last one as the chances where lower than usual. Was expecting the usual "no rewards" message when I got stunned by this view! I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was reading "You will receive 1 card!"
Crazy! My heart was filled with joy and excitements! Somehow I've got one of the new legendary summoner with my 55 chances, approximately 12% of the full chance requirement!
I didn't got any when I had 75% chances but now 12% was enough! I got one normal Nidhoggr, and felt like the work was not in vain! Can this become more remarkable?
I played against the odds one more time, and used 20 vouchers to increase the Gold Foil chance from 2% to 4%! With low expectations I pressed the "continue" button!
The odds were again in my favor! GOLD FOIL NIDHOGGR! I was thrilling! All the frustration that I accumulated turned into pure joy!
A winner never stops! I am now facing a big dilemma while reading the insane value of the gold foil card: should I sell and buy a normal card with the money? I could use the difference to improve my deck with Rebellion cards!
According to the lore, Nidhoggr is a guardian dragon and custodian of these ley lines. He rose from the chasm in which he'd buried himself, and shook off a mountain of rock and debris!
He learned of the Chaos Empire's trespass and of the Splinterlanders failure to stop them... and he found them both guilty. Praetoria trembled as Nidhoggr stretched his wings!
This legendary summoner will be the perfect choice for 99 mana battles, where he can lead a team of other remarkable dragons! Just imagine Nidhoggr leading Larissa and Djinn Chwala on the battlefield!
Let's use our imagination and enhance the battle below! No doubts that Nidhoggr will be a gamechanger!
Helios Matriarch: +1 Speed & +1 Gladiator
Djinn Chwala: Melee with Thornes
Larissa Kerato: Caster with Double Strike & Bloodlust
Molten Ogre: Melee with Demoralize
Disintegrator: Melee with Demoralize
Creeping Ooze: Support with Slow
Desert Dragon: Melee with Trample
The first thing you will say will be... but bro... your units cannot attack? So what!? They have another purpose, as the enemies will hit them randomly. The team was built around Larissa Kerato, covered by beefy tanks.
It was a bit surprising when I seen the opponent with a similar tactic. I was expecting caster and rangers but I had to face a beefy team of brawlers, with good all Tarsa supporting them. This was great news, as my team was built as anti-melee hit squad.
The heavy hitters selected by the enemy got their attack boosted by one, only to go down twice from the double demoralize. It was a good choice of team, as the Sand Worm at 6 melee damage would have been overpowered.
Larissa unleashed to spells in random targets, and prepared for her first trophy. The Dessert Dragon was taking the hits from sneaky enemies, while Djinn Chwala was giving Thornes damage to her attackers. The dragons were aimless but ready to create havoc!
While Larissa was still trying to adjust her scattershot, it was Chwala who claimed the first kill. The Goblin Mech hit the Djinn so hard that the Thorns counter was deadly.
The only caster in the enemy's team was a Djinn Apprentice. This only magician managed to aim his scattershot in the only unit with less health, taking care of the Creeping Ooze. No more slow for my opponents, but still an important melee damage reduction. I was still waiting for Larissa to trigger that bloodlust!
... and this is how the carnage started! Larissa Kerato calibrated her spells and the first magic bolt hit Uraeus, sending the sneaky-sneaky snake into it's grave. The second spell was calibrated as well, hitting Fineas Rage. The fast swordsman was already with critical health after attacking Djinn Chwala, and couldn't handle the hit.
Larissa stats gone crazy, with a double bloodlust. She went to four magic damage for each attack, and insane speed. It was fair to lose my first unit, as the Desert Dragon was destroyed by another sandy unit. The Sand Worm was full of spice, and raised above the dunes to deliver a deadly blow.
Larissa unleashed two more bolts, hitting the Sand Worm and the Tenyii Striker. Ninja down and another bloodlust for my adopted dragon gladiator. The revenge was completed by Djinn Chwala, who sliced the Sand Worm in honor of the fallen Desert Dragon companion.
It was shameful that the mighty Djinn Chwala seen her demise by the hand of an apprentice. However, the Djinn Apprentice didn't leave to tell the story.... after being obliterated by Larissa's spells! See the full battle here!
