Hello There
You are reading ML-Blog
I'm back again with another read in respect to the weekly battle challenge. If you're here for the first, do well to always come back for more interesting post. This week, we have one of the ranged attack monster which also happens to belong to the class of neutral monsters in the splinterlands deck. Gem Meteor, a great monster makes this week's theme. Going forward, I will be highlighting some basic facts of this monster but before that is done, the link leading to the announcement post is provided here. You can run through it if you feel the need to participate in this challenge.
Gem Meteor: Two things I have already pointed out above, Meteor is a ranged attack monster and also a neutral monster. This makes it possible to be summoned by all summoner. Looking at the lore of this monster, it can be seen that Meteor is an illuminator who took the responsibility of lighting the nights when the stars were all going out or dying off.
Battling Stats of Gem Meteor
Everything Gem Meteor is made of is shown in the image above. The monster has six levels. The first level has one ranged damage while the last level has four ranged damaged. every other changes in the damages of this monster is rightly shown according to each levels in the image. Also, this monster is considered a fast one with a speed of four in the first level and five in subsequent levels. There's nothing to be seen in the armor section as the monster wasn't designed to have one. However, the Health section shows that this monster have the same health number throughout its existence. This monster also belongs to those with special abilities. It has the scattershot ability which is found in its all levels. In the later levels of this monster, precisely the fourth level, it developed the piercing ability. To explain the abilities, the scattershot simply implies that this monster can target any monster in the opponent's team. piercing ability also help this monster cut through the armors of enemy's monsters to its health.

| The big guy GRUM FLAMEBLADE couldn't be better in any other place other than defence. The eleven mana cost of it couldn't prevent it from being used in the battle. Grum came in at level two with 12 health, 5 armor, 4 melee damage, and 1 battling speed. It also utilized the bloodlust ability, void armor, and void ability | This guy RADIATED BRUTE with the reach ability is quite limited in position.

About the Gem Meteor, details of this monster has been presented in the above section of this post.
Scavo Firebolt came in at level four. It fought with three ranged attack, three speed, and has five health
Battle Commentary
The battle was between the fire element and the death element. The battle has two rules which was healed out and noxious fumes. All healing ability was rendered useless and monsters had to undergo two extra damages after each round. While the fire summoner gave +1 melee damage and +health to all friendly monsters, its death counterpart affected none friendly monsters with -1 health.
The battle wasn't that long as it ended in the third round leaving four monster from the fire side and none on the earth side.
My Strategy & Its Effectiveness
The strategy is simply successful. There could have been better option for selection if such cards was available in my deck. probably those cards that doesn't get affected by poison would have made the team. Anyway, I worked with what I have and it yielded a positive result.
What can I say about Gem Meteor?
When I read the lore section, I said to myself this's absolutely amazing. The idea of this monster is a great one and the card it turned out to make in splinterlands isn't that bad either. At least the card was given two special abilities and these abilities can sometimes define the outcome of battles. If i were to rate the card in stars, it'd get a three star rating from me.
