Crystal Jaguar

LORE

During the historic Obliteration of Light, a family of wild cats was napping deep in one of the caves of the Crystal Forest. They were spared by the wave of destruction, and over time, with no competition for food, the cats grew incredibly large.

Crystal Jaguar

CARD DETAILS (Level 1)

Mana Cost: 4

Edition: Untamed

Rarity: Common

Element: LIFE

Status

Attack Damage: 1

Shield: 1

Speed: 2

Health: 5

Special Ability:
Level 1: -
Level 4+:Thorns -When hit with a Melee attack, does (2 melee) damage back to the attacker.
Level 9+: Retaliate -When hit with a Melee attack, Monsters with Retaliate have a chance (50%) of attacking their attacker. Chain is possible.

The Strategy

In this season I use him as a front line tank to protect my backline artillery (mages).

At level 1 has 5 health which is perfect against other enemies mages, can take 3 full hits - 2 2 2 and 1 shield will save a hit from a high damage bruiser/ranger.

To help him more best SUMMONER choice is:

Lorna Shine

She will make him and backlines more tankier because of her Divine Shield The first time the Monster takes damage from a monster or earthquake it is ignored.

For BACKLINES: MAGES - LIFE element has the most powerful mages in my opinion (especially on low leagues NOVICE-SILVER).

MUST HAVE! :

HIGH Damage, HIGH sustain, LOW mana cost, CHEAP to buy/rent

The Battle

Due to low mana cost the sweet spot will be on 22-28 MANA battles.

Crystal Jaguar Was placed in the first position, followed by Temple Priest, Light Element is on a safe position defended by an eventual assassin atack by Lunakary Mistress

First Round is over Crystal Jaguar survives the first battle and with his last breath take his position for the Second round not like their tank which dies on the first confruntation and forced their companions to follow him soon after.

Even if the odds were against us the battle was a huge success and I'm very proud of my soldiers xD

Conclusions

The Crystal Jaguar is a very good choice on low ELO in mid-tier MANA Battles.

I use him on a daily basis and with time maybe I will bring him to his full potential by leveling him up and unlock him his abilities.

Thanks for reading this Battle Report, and see you next time!
