Hi friends, with this post I participate in the beautiful weekly Splinterlands contest: "Share your battle".
This week's theme is the card: "Pit Ogre".

---

Pit Ogre

---

Each card has its own characteristics and statistics and Pit Ogre is a card that can be very useful in particular circumstances.

---

Main Features

---

Rare card of the Fire element

---

Pit Ogre is a rare card and is a card of the fire element.
It can be summoned by a fire summoner or a dragon summoner.
Here are some examples of summoners who can summon Pit Ogre:

---

---

Value and Statistics

---

Pit Ogre has an estimated value of $ 0.08 and a DEC value of 60.

---

---

Its statistics by level are as follows:

---

---

Pros and Cons

---

Now let's analyze what are the pros and cons of Pit Ogre

---

Pro

---

Pit Ogre has a unique pro and it's his ability.

1. The ability: Stun

---

---

It is an excellent ability and allows you to avoid an attack from the card that is in first position and that is generally a card with a very strong attack.
Note however that the Stun ability has no effect at every round of the battle, there is a probability that it will take effect but it doesn't always happen. The battle I shared in this post is an example: only once in three has the opponent's card been stunned.

---

Cons

---

1. Speed ​​

---

This is its biggest flaw. Speed ​​decides the order of attack. For this reason, if Pit Ogre collides with a card with a very strong attack and with a higher speed, he will hardly survive the first battle round.

---

2. Attack Points

---

Two points of attack are few for a card that is generally deployed in first position.

---

All other statistics such as mana cost (6) and life points (7) are average and therefore are neither a pros nor a cons.

---

When I use Pit Ogre

---

I honestly don't use this card often, there are much stronger cards but Pit Ogre becomes useful in some circumstances.
Very important are the "rules of combat".

---

Fighting rules favorable to Pit Ogre

---

Each battle has its own fighting rules:
In battles that have the following fighting rules Pit Ogre can become very useful.

---

---

In this circumstance Pit Ogre loses its biggest flaw (minimum speed) and acquires a maximum speed and can easily dodge many attacks.

---

---

Pit Ogre has no armor points and has life points equal to 7. The two combat rules at the top allow you to deploy Pit Ogre in a more protected position (for example in the center) and not necessarily in first position.

---

---

Since Pit Ogre has no armor points, this combat rule allows Pit Ogre to become a more usefull card.

---

---

Other circumstances favorable to Pit Ogre

---

Battle with few mana available

---

---

Given the few mana points available, if our opponent deploys a single strong opponent's card, Pit Ogre's "Stun" ability could block many attacks from the opposing card.
Pit Ogre flanked by cards that attack from a distance and with a summoner that boosts his attack could be instrumental in winning the battle.

---

With which summoner

---

Two melee attack points are few and therefore I only use Pit Ogre together with summoners who are able to increase his attack strength as ** Malric Inferno **:

A battle of mine with Pit Ogre

In the battle of this post I had the following conditions to respect:

---

---

As you well know the maximum of deployable cards is 7 (1 summoner + 6 monsters).
I chose to deploy (in order of position):

---

Pit Ogre - Grumpy Dwarf - Goblin Mech - Kobold Miner - Parasitic Growth - Cyclops
Malric Inferno (Summoner)

---

Considerations

---

I chose to field Pit Ogre in first position because his speed in this battle (thanks to "Reverse Speed") becomes equivalent to the maximum (6).
For the same reason I tried to choose all the cards with a low speed.

I gave up deploying a card with attack from distance to put Goblin Mech in third position, in case my opponent had deployed a very strong card in first position.

Thanks to Malrich Inferno Pit Ogre and all melee attack cards gain +1 as an attack.

Was Pit Ogre decisive in this battle?

No. Pit Ogre only stuns the opponent once out of three attacks.

Could I use better cards and better strategy?

Of course I have better cards than Pit Ogre to deploy in first position ... but I wanted to participate in the beautiful Splinterlands contest;)
