Hi, everyone. Welcome to my post. In the Social Media Challenge, I will discuss anything about SPLINTERLANDS, it can be about cards, abilities, rulesets, battle reviews, End of Season results, or my playing experience.

Nalara Geinek

Nalara Geinek is a Legendary Neutral Magic Unit from the Rebellion edition. Although some of its stats are quite large, unfortunately, Nalara Geinek is only equipped with 1 Attack point from the first level to its maximum level (4). However, Nalara Geinek still has the advantage that it has 4 abilities, each of which will unlock 1 ability at each level.

The first level, Nalara Geinek has the AMPLIFY ability which can only be useful if there are units on the team that have the THORNS , RETURN FIRE , CORROSIVE WARD , or MAGIC REFLECT abilities. AMPLIFY serves to amplify the damage received by the opposing unit if it successfully hits one of the units mentioned. opposing units will receive an additional 1 point of damage in addition to the damage they receive from one of these units.

Nalara Geinek gains the SILENCE ability when she is level two and the VOID ability at level three. SILENCE is an ability that reduces Magic Attack power by 1 point, while VOID is an ability that reduces damage if you receive an attack from the opponent's Magic unit. These 2 abilities are related to each other because they are both aimed at weakening the opponent's Magic units. So even though Nalara Geinek only has 1 Attack point, these 2 abilities can be her mainstay when she has to face formations that rely on Magic units.

And at the last level (4), Nalara Geinek gets the STUN ability which can stop the movement of the opponent's unit for one round if it hits successfully. Just like the previous 2 abilities, STUN is useful as a substitute for low Attack power. STUN can also be combined with the KNOCKOUT ability which can make units that have been affected by STUN take twice the damage than usual.

Battle

The ruleset for this battle is FIVE ALIVE (units that can be carried no more than five), KEEP YOUR DISTANCE (Melee units cannot be used in this ruleset), and WEAK MAGIC (Attacks from magic units will hit ARMOR first).

In the first round, Rush Townsend, Supply Runner*, Countess Sinash, attacked Djinn Oshannus. Unfortunately, the attack from Rush Townsend did little damage to her because Djinn Oshannus had the FORCEFIELD ability. Countess Sinash also deals additional damage through her BLAST ability on Gargoya Devil. Nalara Geinek cannot hurt Djinn Oshannus because of his low Attack power accompanied by Djinn Oshannus's VOID ability.

Djinn Oshannus attacks Nalara Geinek. Supply Runner, Merdhampir, and Kulu Swimhunter injured Iidri Fyre. Meanwhile, the attack from Gargoya Devil failed to hit him.

In the second round, Rush Townsend and Supply Runner attacked Djinn Oshannus again. Meanwhile, Countess Sinash targeted her attack at the opponent's Supply Runner. Gargoya Devil and Merdhampir take additional damage in the form of BLAST ability from the attack.

Supply Runner and Kulu Swimhunter defeated Iidri Fyre. But before the defeat, Iidri Fyre used the REDEMPTION ability, making all opposing units take 1 point of damage. Djinn Oshannus and Merdhampir attacked Nalara Geinek. Meanwhile, Gargoya Devil was again unable to land his attack on his intended target (this time it was Nalara Geinek).

In the third round, Rush Townsend aimed his attack at Gargoya Devil and defeated him. Likewise, my Supply Runner defeated Djinn Oshannus, and Countess Sinash defeated the opponent's Supply Runner. Collateral damage via BLAST hits Merdhampir who is now in first place. Kulu Swimhunter damaged Nalara Geinek's ARMOR.

In the last round, Merdhampir was defeated by Rush Townsend while Kulu Swimhunter was defeated by my Supply Runner.

Battle Review

Although it doesn't help too much, the presence of Nalara Geinek can at least be used to resist Djinn Oshannus while waiting for other units to weaken or defeat other opponent units. With the VOID and SILENCE abilities, Nalara Geinek only takes 1 point of damage to its ARMOR (due to WEAK MAGIC ruleset) every time it gets attacked by Djinn Oshannus.

Iidri Fyre diverted attacks from the entire opponent's range units until he was defeated by them. However, there was an oddity in this battle, where Gargoya Devil who has the FLYING ability could not land all his attacks on the target. But that might be because it is the unit that has the lowest SPEED among all opposing units in this battle.

Those are the kinds of things I discussed in this Social Media Challenge. Thank you for reading to the end and see you in other discussions in next week's Social Media Challenge.
