Pirate Eight The Next Favourite Reacher Monster

Heyyy yooooo
what's up Splinter Player around the world how are you doing?
In this content i want to share about the batte that make me interesting and watching twice. I focusing on only one monster. That might be the next wishlist that i will bought after i maxed Gobalano Soldier.

Right now i still having level 4 Gobalano Soldier. That means i still need much more BCX and money to maxed this monster. I can do it with by doing little and little. And eventually it will maxed out. I dont know how long that Chaos Legion will be going to Wild Format. Or maybe Chaos Legion did not going to Wild Format i dont know either. But, what i know is Rebellion cards is still OP in nowdays meta. Thats why i am starting to collecting it. The market supply is not good either. Sometimes the price can be super expensive to rent and thats why i decided to buy it. And after i maxed Gobalano Soldier. I will maxed another water element monster. The favourite element in Splinterlands Universe.

This monster called Pirate of Eight. I kinda fell in love with this monster. I dont know. Maybe i thinking after Chaos Legion going to wild, then in water element will lack on Reach monster since Flying Squid will be gone. And Tide Bitter will be gone too. Maybe the meta will changed to be blast ability that can gives adjacent units damage with this monster. Thats why i decided to buy this card after Gobalano Soldier have been maxed. This monster stats is not bad with just costing 4 mana since in Rebellion Edition the manacost is mostly really high. And the cost of the summoner also already high. Thats why i think buying and keeping the low manacost monster is kinda worth it. This monster having 4 speed which is kinda fast enough. And having 4 melee damage that will be pretty good too. This monster damage will be the maxed damage before reduced by Forcefield ability after reaching 5 melee damage. And this monster life is 6 which is having average health and with just 4 manacost it is really worth it. This monster ability is just 2.

• Reach : This monster still can attack even though placed in second position.
• Blast : This monster will gives adjacent units damage when hit opponent monster.

With these 2 abilities. I believe this monster can be very usefull in the future. Even though this monster is having crash with Tide Bitter that having reflection shield ability. And since Tide Better having lower manacost,many people still using Tide Bitter instead Pirate of Eight monster.

I will share the battle that i am using Pirate of Eight that makes me wanna having this card.

In this battle I am using Lux Vega as summoner. And encountered with Immortalis as opponent summoner.
And lets see the ruleset

This battle have 3 ruleset. The first one is Melee Mayheem that means all melee type attack can attack from anyplace. Usually i will using all melee type attack if i am too lazy to think. The second ruleset is Aim True that means all units will get True Strike ability that will make all units having 100% hit chance. The last but not least is Target Practice that means all ranged and magic type attack will attacking non melee units first. Manacap that can be used in this battle is 49 which is pretty average. And the element that can be used in this battle is Water, Earth, and Death element. This is quite challenging since these 3 elements are having pretty good melee army. And of course i am picking Water element since in Chaos Legion edition Water edition is beast. And i am renting mostly from Chaos Edition so thats why i pick Water element this time.

The opponent using Immortalis as Summoner and i think i know what opponent thinking in his strategies. He using Target Practice ruleset to utilize the Grimbandun Smith as Tanker and Attacker at this point. And using Mycelic Slipspawn as Taunt Tanker that will be hard to get beaten.

Luckily, i am using Arkemis The Bear as frontline Tanker. So, opponent tanker that based Huge Melee attack will be compressed by halving ability, and Forcefield ability. But for long terms battle i am afraid that i can win this battle since opponent tanker having Shield ability. Meanwhile my team mates just hoping with speed that kinda useless since opponent having 100% hit chance. But, if my units speed more faster i think it can defeated opponent tanker. Especially i am bringing Coastal Sentry that can attacking twice. And also i am bringing Dr Blight too that can gives poison status.

The summary of this battle is yes. The opponent using Target Practice and Aim True ability to crushing my defence strategy. But, luckily that this time opponent using Range attack than Magic type attack. Maybe if my team dealt with magic type attack or Melee type attack. My team will be the losing one. I am not predicting that opponent using Aim True ruleset will giving more benefits like that. Fortunately I am bringing Commander Slade that pretty though and good as tanker. If i am just bringing Diemonshark. I am pretty sure that i got beaten first.
