Exploring the Chaos: Core Water Epics

Battle 1: Nerissa Tridawn

Conditions	Description
Diamond League Modern Format	53 Mana Cap Available Elements: Fire, Water, Life, Earth, Death Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_e7f78da20610f57246acd765544c0a2a&ref=agonyaccepted
Keep Your Distance	Monsters with Melee attack may not be used in battles.
Back to Basics	Monsters lose all abilities.
Aim True	Attacks always hit their target.

This battle has the Keep Your Distance ruleset which that bans the use of melee monsters together with Back to Basics where abilities cannot be used and Aim True that ensures no attack misses their target. On this type of battles, magic becomes very convenient since it can attack regardless of the position and can disregard the armor of the target to directly attack its health while the target loses any abilities that would prevent the damage it takes. That was were Nerissa Tridawn shines as it already does not posses any abilities to begin with but still, it can inflict up to 5 damage to the unprotected target.

Battle 2: Wave Brood

Conditions	Description
Brawl Silver League	48 Mana Cap Available Elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Life, Dragon Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_27e541c291864ada16a9fe2306c5d25f&ref=agonyaccepted
Counterspell	All monster has the Magic Reflect ability.
Target Practice	All Ranged and Magic attack Monsters have the Snipe ability.
Armored Up	All Monsters have 2 Armor in addition to their normal Armor stat.

On this battle, we have the Counterspell ruleset so using magic monsters is disadvantageous while the Target Practice will give the Snipe ability to monsters with additional armor by the Armored Up ruleset which comes to say that range monsters will be used on this match so I used Wave Brood. It has the Close Range ability which allows it to attack even at the first position and Return Fire that will give reflect damage on range monsters that attacks it. In case that the opponent still uses magic, it has the Void which will halve the damage it takes. Finally, it has the Taunt ability which will forces monsters to attack this card.

Battle 3: Djinn Inferni

Conditions	Description
Brawl Silver League	50 Mana Cap Available Elements: Fire, Water, Life Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_835517808fee327f2eea0daab356fc24&ref=agonyaccepted
Born Again	All monsters have the Rebirth ability.
Aim True	Melee and Range attacks always hit their target.

Final Thoughts

---

This has concluded my review for the core Water epic monsters of the Chaos Legion. Among this cards, I would say that I have often use Wave Brood for most of my battles because of its Taunt ability that helps in protecting my other monsters from attacks specially against those with Sneak and Opportunity ability and at the same time, it was both effective countermeasure against magic and range attacks with its Void and Return Fire. On the other hand, I often use Igor Darkspear on Little League battles where its attack will prove to be lethal and its capability to prevent its target from attacking with Stun. Nerissa Tridawn was indeed a powerful monster but as of late I less likely to use this card with the arrival of the Immortalis but that still depends from battle to battle.

That was all for this post and see you on the next one!
