Splinterlands | Overpowered & Risky Shock Trooper
What’s up my fellow Splinterlands players!
I hope all of you are doing well in life and also enjoying this amazing strategy game in your daily free time. If you are a dedicated Splinterlands player, then you must have noticed that the last ranked season has ended already and I guess all of you have claimed your season Glint rewards by now and also started fighting for this fresh one. Right now, we still have 12 more days before this season meets its end, so we have to reach our goals before that at any cost. Now talking about me, last season I finished in champion and after the season reset, I am again down to Diamond and now playing at Diamond I with a current trophy count of 3,360. For this season also, my goal will remain the same and I will try to reach there as soon as possible before we all know how bloody and hard it becomes to play During the last 2 or 3 days in the ranked arena. So, let us all put our best efforts and let’s see what happens.
Now moving on, let me come to the main topic of this post as today, I will be showcasing another amazing Rebellion card with you all. As you have already seen it in the thumbnail Above, today I will be talking about the SHOCK TROOPER. So if you are interested, let us take a deep dive without any further ado.
SHOCK TROOPER
SHOCK TROOPER is a monster card that was recently released in the game with the launch of the latest Reward card set and this card comes under the Rebellion edition. This monster belongs to the Water element and its attack type is magic, which is its best feature as well. This monster costs only 4 mana to be used in battles, so you can easily choose this monster when playing small to medium mana limit matches or the ones with Little League ruleset. This is an Epic type card, so you will need a total of 46 BCXs of cards to upgrade it to max level. Now, apart from having a deadly magic attack power with good speed and decently large health, it also comes with 3 abilities which I am going to discuss later. Let us now take a further look at its league wise stats and abilities to find out more.
BRONZE
At level 2, this monster card possesses 4 magic attack at 4 speed with 5 health and it also gets the Electrified ability since its initial level. Apart from having a deadly magic attack, its Electrified ability, it will deal 1 damage to all friendly units from round 2 onwards. So this ability is indeed a friendly fire one and will help your enemy more than you. So better compare the cost that comes with the High Magic attack before using this card.
SILVER
When this monster gets upgraded to level 3, it receives the same stats of 4 magic attack powers at 4 speed with 5 health but at level 3, it does get a new ability ed Swift. With the help of this new ability, this monster can increase speed of every friendly unit by +1.
GOLD
As this monster goes to 5, it gets an increased 5 magic attack power at 4 speed with 6 health along with those 2 abilities that I mentioned above. Though it does not get any new abilities, its increased firepower will definitely help you while fighting on the battleground.
DIAMOND / CHAMPION
Finally, when you upgrade this monster to its max level of 6, it possesses the same stats as of its previous level - 5 magic attack power at 4 speed with 6 health. But gladly, it receives another new ability called Magic Reflect at its final level. With the help of this new ability, this monster will return damage with a reduced magic attack to the attacker whenever it gets hit with magic attacks. So, you literally are getting an overpowered magic attacker for just 4 mana, you just have to find a solution for that Electrified ability. So this monster becomes very useful in Back to Basics ruleset matches.

BATTLE STAT
This time, I got a small 13 mana limit match where every element except Fire was allowed to choose and there were also 2 rulesets applied in this match - Back to Basics (all monsters lose their abilities) and Tis but Scratches (all monsters get the Cripple ability). For this match, only a monster's stats will be useful, so I thought about how to tackle my opponent and after thinking a bit, I decided to use my Trooper’s unmatched magic power as my main attack and started building my lineup accordingly.
For this match, I chose the water card Kelya Frendul as my summoner and at the front position of my lineup, I chose the Torrent Fiend followed by Hardy Stonefish, Halfling Refugee, Chaos Agent, Shock Trooper and the Igor Darkspear at the end position. Anyway, when both the lineup was revealed, I saw that my opponent had used the Death Summoner Thaddius Brood and at his front defense position, he had chosen the Wily Coyotian followed by Corpse Fiend, Life Sapper, Xenith Archer and Weirding Warrior at the end position.
Battle Begins
In this match, my main attackers were the Shock Trooper and Igor Darkspear while my opponent has 1 magic attacker and 2 range attackers as his main attacking troops, so if I kill his Life Sapper soon the lineup will be useless after Xenith Archer dies. Anyway, As the battle began, the Life Sapper easily killed my Fiend followed by my wounded Stonefish who killed Down the Coyotian. Next, my Trooper attacked and killed Down the enemy Fiend with just 1 blow and then, the Life Sapper Killed Down my Stonefish and my Refugee came to front and killed down the Life Sapper by the end of round 2. In round 3, both my Igor and Trooper attacked together and killed down the enemy Xenith Archer and thus, only the helpless Weirding Warrior was left in the opponent’s lineup which got taken care of by my Refugee and thus, I won another amazing match and won some more SPS and Glints!
I hope you loved watching the Splinterlands battle with SHOCK TROOPER that I shared above and also liked reading my battle post. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below and I will be seeing you all in my next post.
I wish you all good luck with all of your future Splinterlands matches.
