Splinterlands Social Media Challenge: Quora Towershead's Immunity allows it to ignore cripple

Splinterlands is a pretty complicated game with interesting battles with all the options available. This is a part of the weekly social media challenge for Splinterlands. This week is about a great fight where I won because of Quora.

Featured cards

Quora Towershead is a earth splinter that costs 10 mana. It starts off with the bloodlust ability and heal. As it levels up, it gains the immunity ability at level 3 and dispel at level 5. I have this card at level 4 so it has up to immunity. I like using this card because of how powerful it is when the bloodlust stacks.

Rule set, Battle and Plan

The ruleset this time is Tis But Scratches, Taking Sides, and Manueavers. This means that no neutral cards can be used, and all monsters gain the reach and cripple ability. There are 34 mana available and I am left with the choice of fire, earth, life, or dragon splinter.

Splinter	Mana Cost	Position	Reason
Helios Matriarch	6	Summoner	+1 speed and gladiator
Pelacor Mercenary	7	1st	Flying and Heal
Vruz	2	2nd	Sneak and Martyr
Quora Towershead	10	3rd	Bloodlust, Heal, and Immunity
Fungus Flinger	3	4th	Blind and Martyr
Queen Mycelia	4	5th	Protect
Naga Assassin	2	6th	Backfire
Total Mana:	34

Helios Matriarch is my summoner for its +1 speed and access to a gladiator. Pelacor Mercenary is my tank with flying and heal. After that is Vruz with martyr. I have Quora after as my damage dealer and the martyr monsters will buff Quora if they die. My 5th monster is Queen Mycelia with protect and my last monster is Naga Assassin with backfire for any sneak monsters.

Round 1

At first glance, I think that I have the advantage. My opponent does have more healers but with the ruleset, cripple will slowly reduce the maximum health of my opponent's Quora while my Quora will be fine. The only issue is whether or not my Quora will survive long enough if my opponent stacks more bloodlust than me.

Round 3

Both me and my opponent lost two monsters, but my opponent had stacked bloodlust while I had not. The only buff to my Quora is a single martyr. At this point, I think that I have the advantage because I have 4 monsters crippling my opponent. I don't think my opponent will kill me fast enough. It's just a matter of who's Quora dies first to decide the winner.

I won this match a few rounds later as I expected. My Quora was able to survive and I was able to kill off my opponent's once enough cripple attacks landed.

Conclusion

The battle this time around went as I expected. Quora Towershead was a great monster to use and the immunity removed any worries about the cripple from the ruleset. It worked against my opponent because his Quora's maximum health kept dropping and this allowed me to kill it despite all the healers that my opponent had.
