Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I last participated in one of this @splinterlands challenges. I saw a post by @yousafharoonkhan that inspired me to start writing this posts again!

Unfortunately I decided to sell the entirety of my earth splinter a long time ago because I used to struggle a lot to complete quests with it so I decided to sell all of them reinforce my fire splinter instead. A very dumb decision I know now...

I'm struggling a lot to get a win using the Stonesplitter Orc at level one using my Daria and Neutral cards, yes I also sold the majority of my Dragon splinter cards.

The team

After almost 1 hour of trying to get a win with the Stonesplitter Orc I finally did it! I had to buy some Screeching Vultures after a while, because that combined with Daria's +1 to attack is a deadly combination specially when you also add the Parasitic growth. It swipes every monster starting with the weakest one while they're HP keeps increasing for every KO.

I had to fully squeeze Daria's buff so I added Robo-Dragon Knight to tank all those Magic attacks and inflict some massive damage followed by the Grumpy Dwarf to help out clean the front line. On the back end I stationed the Stonesplitter orc in case any sneaky monster tried to go for my backline it wasn't the case but I trusted him to retaliate and automatically end the sneakiness.

Lastly but not least the Sand Worm this is thing is a BEAST that shreds the enemies entire backline! He takes home the MVP title for this battle with a kill count of 4 pulling an crucial 1 hit KO just when I needed it to.

Rules of combat

Close range wasn't helpful at all since I wasn't using any ranged monsters for this one. Reverse speed was useful for the Parasitic and Grumpy Dwarf to attack first than anyone else but it came at a huge cost since Lord with that 1 base speed was dodging attacks left and right.

The mana cap was way higher than what I needed but I guess it allowed me to bring the sand worm into battle and that was what dictated the outcome of this battle.

Here's the replay if you're interested in watching the sand worm go to town on this player's backline. I'm sorry if the editing isn't top notch I'm just getting back to posting on Hive and I forgot most of the sizes and editing tricks.
