Hello all, this week I want to discuss about new reward card Tokatag Conscript which I managed max the level last season, not many player use this card, but I think it still useful in rare situation. Here is the stat and ability of this unit :

Ability	Description
	Sneak ability, Targets the last Monster on the enemy Team instead of the first Monster.
	Thorns ability, When hit with a Melee attack, does 2 damage back to the attacker.
	Backfire If an enemy misses this unit with an attack, the attacker takes 2 damage.

This unit has rarity Common and Neutral unit, so we can use it with any Element and Dragon units.

Note : I play with my Scholar account with only a limited card (Chaos Legion, reward card, and rent several old cards like Doctor Blight, Arkemis The Bear, Dumacke Exile, etc.). I play in Modern format Diamond League.

The Battle Discussion

I will give 2 battle example when I used this battle :

• First battle link :
  
  I think this unit stronger when in Reverse Speed ruleset like in this battle, cause this unit only have 3 speed. In Reverse Speed ruleset the slower the faster the unit become. I used the Astral summoner from Death element to give this unit Dodge ability (increasing the chance to dodge range and melee unit by 25%), to bad in this battle only attack once by Orella Abadon melee unit who have Sneak ability and hit by it.

• Second battle link :
  
  It help defending in the back against Uraeus, decreasing the armor, the armor and damage of Uraeus is high by using Bear and summoner Elias make the Uraeus armor so high and can attack using the armor. Fortunately when the Uraeus move to the first position the armor already destroyed by Tokatag Thorns ability, so it can only attack using melee attack.

Conclusion

In my opinion, we can use this unit when we guess the enemy will use a unit with Sneak ability, to increase the chances of winning using this unit we need to consider several other things such as:

• Sufficient mana, this unit has small damage and large mana, we must ensure that our mana is sufficient to bring out attackers who have high damage :
  • In the first battle, our main attacker is Soul Strangler assisted by other tanker and support units.
  • In the second battle we have the support unit Ujurak Elder and attacker Gargoya Devil, Supply Runner, and also Chaos Adjutant (although it has small damage but can give a poison effect to the enemy)
• Bring a unit with Amplify ability to give extra damage to the Thorns ability by 1. As we did in the first battle we brought Weirding Warrior.
• This unit is not very strong in receiving attacks, does not have the ability to defend or evade, its speed is also low, I think it is only suitable for defending against 1-2 melee attacks, if we plan to use Tokatag Conscripts as our main defender in the back we have to make sure that with the existing ruleset the enemy cannot bring too many units with Sneak ability, such as in battle 1 and 2 we need to see several things:
  • In battle 1 it has Reverse Speed ruleset (the lowest speed becomes the fastest), most units with Sneak ability have high speed, so only a few units with Sneak ability are suitable for use, by understanding this we hope the enemy only brings 1-2 units with Sneak ability, and even if they bring many units with high speed we hope Tokatag can avoid their attacks.
  • In battle 2 it has Shades of Gray ruleset (only neutral units can be used), as far as I know only Uraeus and Tokatag Conscript in Neutral units have Sneak ability

Although not popular card and hard to use, but for me who only have small card collection must learn to used every card I have to increasing my winning rate. So this guide may only suitable for player who only have small asset and still have fun playing Splinterlands.
