DHAMOIR STALKER; A True Striker that Delivers Deathblow
Hello Splinternerds
Time for the SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge.
For this weeks battle challenge, we have a chaos legion monster, DHAMPIR STALKER. DHAMPIR STALKER is a rare death splinter ranged attack monster.
DHAMPIR STALKER's lore is nothing but amazing:
Half-vampire, the Dhampir are faster and stronger than normal humans. Most have taken to a mercenary lifestyle, never quite welcome with vampires or humans. The Stalker is adept at tracking their prey, then dispatching the target with a silent and perfectly-placed arrow from the shadows.
physical attributes of DHAMPIR STALKER are as good as could be for a rare ranged monster. Costing hefty 7 mana, DHAMPIR STALKER have average health of 5 at level 1 which increases to 7 when maxed. It comes with a ranged attack of 3 to start with, reaching a decent value of 5 when maxed. Starting speed of this guy is 2 which improves to 4 at maxed level. As far as shield is concerned it doesn't have any what so ever.
The real value of DHAMPIR STALKER lies in its abilities. Right from level 1 it have True Strike capability. And from level 5 Deathblow ability also comes. Needless to say that this guy is meant to strike when no one else can strike and deliver last blow to the enemy.
Cost Analysis
Currently there are 91,339 normal foil and 7,206 gold foil DHAMPIR STALKERs in circulation, costing a minimum of 0.096$/BCX and 1.30$/BCX respectively.
Like many Chaos Legion monsters, I feel this guy is also way way under- rated and price doesn't do justice to what it brings to the battle.
Favored Battle Rules
DHAMPIR STALKER works well is all kind of battle rule sets. It works best in Rise of Commons, Lost Legendries, Fog of War, Equalizer, and Weak Armor rulesets.
Vulnerability and Disadvantage
DHAMPIR STALKER only disadvantage/vulnerability is that it is susceptible to take Return Fire Damage. Having strong ranged attack means, it also have to take strong Return Fire which can quickly kill it.
Placement
DHAMPIR STALKER like all ranged attack monsters is best suited in middle back rows, from where it can keep striking and also remains well protected from Blast, Sneak and Snipe attacks.
Complementing Summoners and Abilities
DHAMPIR STALKER can be complemented decently with many death and dragon summoners. Best choices are WAKA SPIRITBLADE, SELENIA SKY, ARCHMAGE ARIUS and DRAKE OF ARNAK.
As far as abilities are concerned, DHAMPIR STALKER can be decently complemented by abilities from other monster like Taunt, Swiftness, Slow, Protect, Strengthen and Triage etc.
Defense
DHAMPIR STALKER can be killed easily using Return Fire monsters. Another way to get rid of this guy is using Amplify ability on top of Return Fire.
Apart from Return Fire it can also be easily killed using Sneak, Snipe, Blast and Scattershot attacks.
MY BATTLE USING DHAMPIR STALKER
Battle Link
MY LINEUP
MIMOSA KNIGHTSHADE
Among two splinters available I decided to go with Death and as battle mana was high so I went with the Heavy legendary summoner available at my disposal, MIMOSA KNIGHTSHADE. Her affliction and -1 ranged attack buff would help me decently in this battle.
HARKLAW
Up front I used one of the best Death legendary tank of death splinter, HARKLAW. HARKLAW's abilities like Shield, Immunity and Demoralize coupled with MIMOSA's Void makes it a quite and adversary.
CORRUPTED PEGASUS
On one down I placed another death legendary, CORRUPTED PEGASUS. CORRUPTED PEGASUS's Tank Heal and Reach abilities makes it a perfect one down monster.
LIRA THE DARK
On third position, I place LIRA THE DARK. LIRA's high speed opportunity ranged attack can be real threat to enemy weak monsters.
DHAMPIR STALKER
Next I used DHAMPIR STALKER. DHAMPIR STALKER's True Strike ability makes its a good utility monsters against high speed targets or when enemy uses Blind and Dodge to evade attacks.
OCTOPIDER
On second last position, I used OCTOPIDER. Its heavy ranged attack along with Demoralize and Blind abilities can really make a difference in battle
DARK HA'ON
On the very last, I used DARK HA'ON to act as Taunt tank in order to deflect enemy ranged and opportunity attacks.
BATTLE ANALYSIS
The battle went as planned. DHAMPIR STALKER true strike ensured that I kept hitting high speed enemy monsters. So apparently DHAMPIR STALKER played critical role in my victory and if it was not for him the enemy would have had sneaked me out.
That will be all for today.
