My progress in Splinterlands has been enjoyable, and I'm gradually adjusting to and enjoying the new reward system. The updates have been mostly positive. Back-and-forth, the struggle to stay alive in higher leagues with smart players, is surreal😆.
The 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 is one of Splinterlands' decent cards to own and have on deck. It is a rare card that costs just 2 mana to use in battle. A range attack card, and I believe it pairs well with just about any splinter.
I am using a level 7 gold foil and this noble lady has a 2-range attack, 4-speed, 0-shield and 4-health. Truth is, This card when compared to other cards, is a pretty decent card worth having on deck. It has no abilities which might cause it not to look impressive but 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 has awesome speed and can cause decent damage once engaged in a favourable position.
As we can see from Stats, 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 has just 1-speed, 0-Melee attack, 1-ranged attack, 0-poison, 0-shield, 2-health, and no abilities at the start. Level 2, it only gains an extra health point. At level 7, it improves it's range attack to 2, speed to 4 and health to 4 too, still not ability. then gains the Backfire ability. However, at maximum level 8, it gains extra +1 health.
It becomes really useful when it's 2-mana cost is considered. At this Levels, 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 attacks can be increased further with summoners like PRINCE RENNYN as we shall soon see why.
For the Market price chart 👉 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 (REGUALAR FOIL AND GOLD FOIL)
You'll see that the Gold foil has been in demand for players in higher leagues, with the least price at 2$ and all time high at 9$. While for the Regular foil, this is considerably cheap to buy now with least price at 0.10$ and all time high at 0.28$. You can buy or rent this card easily in-game SPLINTERLANDS or PEAKMONSTERS. Buying the gold foil now at this prize will be the wise thing for me to do as I am back in Gold league now and approaching diamond, never know how the market turns out.
To thoroughly make good use of the 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹, just level up to max and also get you a gold foil😆, then battle your way up to experience it's full strength⚔️.
⚔️ THE BATTLE ⚔️
| RULE SET |  |
|---|---|
| STANDARD | MODIFICATIONS TO THE RULES AND MECHANICS |
| MANA CAPACITY | 27 |
| AVAILABLE ELEMENT | only Earth🍃, Life🌬, and Death💀 elements allowed |
This was a mid mana cap battle with Magic attack monsters not allowed in battle. I used the Legendary PRINCE RENNYN as my summoner.
😂I love Magic attack monsters alot, so Let's see who survives in this "magicless battle"!!!
⚔️ TEAM LINE-UP ⚔️
| BUFF | SUMMONER | ELEMENT | LEVEL | RARITY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| +1 SPEED, +1 RANGE, +1 HEALTH |  | Earth | ⭐️⭐️⭐️ | LEGENDARY |
STRATEGY:
The handsome PRINCE RENNYN with pointy nose and pointy ears. This summoner is perfect to destroy enemies before they have a chance to react. He has excellent Buffs that works perfectly well with range monsters to enhance damage, undercut enemies with fast and accurate moves, and also last longer in battle with extra life. He is a master in long distances range attack with precise attack and difficult for enemies to hit. He is the perfect for my dear Deyla, 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹.
| POSITION | CARD | ABILITY | LEVEL | RARITY | STATS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front-line |  | Heal, Void | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | COMMON | 3-MELEE, 3-SPEED, 11-HEALTH |
STRATEGY:
In front line comes this formidable golem battles with the strength of 100 men. The forest is home to Anumün's FLESH GOLEM. He is the guardian of the river of power from which he drinks. A ten-star monster who fully deserves his moniker. He can heal himself and regenerate his powers. Magical attackers have no chance against him because of his Void ability.
| POSITION | CARD | ABILITY | LEVEL | RARITY | STATS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| second-line |  | Close range, Thorns, Cripple | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | EPIC | 3-RANGE, 4-SPEED, 6-HEALTH |
STRATEGY:
Next comes a born royal who takes her position seriously. BEATRIX IRONHAND isn't afraid to step in and fight with all her might. Her command of the boomerang is exceptional. She can use her thorn ability to double the damage of an attack. She then cripples the attacker and can attack ranged enemies from any position using her close range ability. Should Flesh Golem go down, This warrior who detest to be called a princess, is more than willing to step in and bring victory alongside her team.
| POSITION | CARD | ABILITY | LEVEL | RARITY | STATS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| third-line |  | SWIFTNESS | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | COMMON | 3-RANGE, 5-HEALTH, 5-SPEED |
STRATEGY:
Then comes SUPPLY RUNNER up in third position. I first got introduced to this card in one of the weekly battle challenge with it as the theme. I found it very interesting especially for it's 3-speed point. Even though it can't attack from the tank spot in most cases, I've put it to take a few hits with it's 5 health if possible while causing some damage and finish off the enemy from this spot before they get the chance attack him.
| POSITION | CARD | ABILITY | LEVEL | RARITY | STATS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| fourth-line |  | SWIFTNESS | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | RANGE | 2-RANGE, 3-SPEED, 4-HEALTH |
STRATEGY:
In fourth place comes the theme card 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹. The blue-eyed warrior Lady Deyla with perfect range attack. Her ability works well with PRINCE RENNYN. In battle, she is not scared to take a stand and defend her team. a little range, a little speed, a drop of health does Deyla a work of good.
| POSITION | CARD | ABILITY | LEVEL | RARITY | STATS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| fifth-line |  | SCATTERSHOT, CRIPPLE | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | EPIC | 2-RANGE, 3-SPEED, 5-HEALTH |
STRATEGY:
In fifth is the infamous ACID SHOOTER. An exceptional monster who creates new defense weapons. He wields massive metal crossbows loaded with acid cannisters. This crossbow can spray a burst of acid or fire the entire bottle at targets. Each shot that hits the enemy corrodes the armor immediately. His crippling ability aids in reducing the enemy's health.
Without further ado, let us now enter the battleground.
⚔️ROUND 1⚔️
- The Enemy came at me with the Dragon summoner teamed with Life monsters, GENERAL SLOAN as Summoner. JARED SCAR in first position, CELESTIAL HARPY in second, STITCH LEECH in third, URAEUS in fourth, PORTAL SPINNER in fifth, and SCAVO HIRELING in last position. My Enemy came ready and & I was scared because the Guild is well known for possessing wicked CARDS & brilliant Players. Honestly, I have never won against this player in all my 3-4 encounters [the name sticks😆]. so yes, I was startled and sorta gave up even. Let's see what happened.
Enemy-GENERAL SLOAN boosted enemy-PORTAL SPINNER range attack +1 as expected.
Summoner PRINCE RENNYN gave all my 4 range attack monsters extra +1 range attack, then all 5 monsters got a +1 health boost & +1 speed point as expected.
SUPPLY RUNNER gives all team Monsters the Swift ability.
Round 1 starts with SUPPLY RUNNER launching first attack on enemy-JARED SCAR removing it's shield -4.
BEATRIX IRONHAND now with extra speed and swift ability swoops in taking advantage of the shield-less Enemy-JARED SCAR and gives a crippling attack on his health - 4
ACID SHOOTER also using his swift ability swoops in and launches a deadly attack on enemy-CELESTIAL HARPY health killing her immediately - 3.
🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 with extra speed point and swift ability also swoops in and completes the job on enemy-JARED SCAR last life line, - 1 health & dead.
FLESH GOLEM also using his extra speed point and swift ability launches a deadly on enemy-STITCH LEECH killing it immediately - 3.
Enemy -URANUS furious strikes back at team monster frontline FLESH GOLEM affecting it's health - 1 and poison it.
Round 1 ends with enemy-PORTAL SPINNER sneaks in and also attacks FLESH GOLEM, affecting his health - 4.
⚔️ROUND 2⚔️
- Round 2 starts with the poison from enemy-URAEUS strike on FLESH GOLEM now taking effect and affecting his health - 2
SUPPLY RUNNER gets furious, strikes and removes enemy-URAEUS shield.
BEATRIX IRONHAND swoops in taking advantage of the shield-less enemy-URAEUS and gives a crippling attack on his health - 4 and killing it.
ACID SHOOTER swoops in also, strikes and removes shield of enemy-PORTAL SPINNER -2. The cripple effect from BEATRIX IRONHAND takes effect and affects health - 1.
XENITH ARCHER swoops in, pulls the bow and shoots a deadly on enemy-PORTAL SPINNER last two life line -2 and dead.
Round 2 ends with FLESH GOLEM healing himself +4 health and then carries on to launch a strike at enemy's last standing monster, enemy-SCAVO HIRELING affecting it's health - 2.
⚔️ROUND 3⚔️
- Round 3 again starts with the poison from enemy-URAEUS on FLESH GOLEM taking effect and affecting his health - 2.
- SUPPLY RUNNER growing impatient, swiftly launches a deadly strike and kills enemy-SCAVO HIRELING.
⚔️FINAL RESULT⚔️
- 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 and team of Monsters let out a roar FLAWLESS VICTORY!!!
✅A SECOND BATTLE IN WHICH I ENGAGED 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 BUT LOST👇
⚔️ THE BATTLE 2 ⚔️
This was a decent 21 mana cap battle. 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 was in a favourable position but lacked ranged support infront and behind her. Imho that would've prolly made a difference. Lesson learnt🥲
✅A THIRD BATTLE IN WHICH I ENGAGED 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 AND WON BUT SHE DIED TOO SOON BEFORE BATTLE GOT ANYWHERE👇
⚔️ THE BATTLE 3 ⚔️
This was a decent 17 low mana cap battle which I won, but I was disappointed that 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 died too soon. Again, she totally lacked range support and placing her in last position was bad exposure for enemy monsters like Uraeus who love to attack back monsters. Lesson learnt too😁
DO I LIKE 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹?**
I Think I do like this card 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹, because of it's low mana cost. When placed in favourable position or backed by supporting monsters such as in first battle, she is able to cause damage.
I definitely look forward to experiencing more of her in battles going forward. She has pretty awesome Speed and health, that's already a slam dunk. This only demonstrates that if you play the any splinter and whatever the mana cap, then this is a card to have on deck.
In summary the battles were exciting to watch and I will keep seeking more ways to own, and engage 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹.
DID MY STRATEGIES WORK AND WHAT LESSONS DRAWN FROM IT?
Yes, my strategy worked very well. It was a good lineup and strategy for this battle⚔️
🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 like a Mid-fielder in football, can be your best bet as seen in first battle. If you add some range monsters with interesting abilities as support, then it will be more difficult to target and kill her.
When using her on deck, always pick summoners that enhance or support her attack type and also grant her one or two abilities like 'swiftness'. Because when the summoner buffs and supporting monsters abilities are in unison, victory is guaranteed at 85%.
When using the 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹, place her together with supporting monsters of same attack type in front and behind her, in this case 'Range' Attack. Even though most players like to use her as a sacrificial unit, I like positioning some monsters such that they survive longer or even last the whole battle.
🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 has no special abilities, hence, summoners that give a boost to her attack type, speed & health is a huge plus on the battle ground.
I would recommend this Lineup 💯. I welcome your opinion, objections and recommendations to further make good use of her in comment😊
🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 is no doubt a decent card, and this battle challenge has surely exposed her usefulness in battle.
😊That will be all about my weekly battle with 🏹XENITH ARCHER🏹 as the themed card.
