Best Deal Yet
This unique 0.013 ETH Bug is the best purchase I've ever made in Axie Infinity. You might find some good Axies on the floor now and then, but you rarely find something like this.
Not only is the moveset one-of-a-kind AND strong in the current meta, it also has the optimal stats. 47 HP, 33 Speed, 49 Morale (For three bars of last stand) -- unbelievable for a floor axie. I think somebody did not realize what they had with this one.
The Power of Turnip
Turnip is a strong card on midline Axies because it gives you a chance to safely snipe out birds which often have low health anyway, and then it still gives you great shields on a reasonable statline.
Considering most backdoor moves, 140 total stats is remarkably strong for a move with any backdoor potential.
And Turnip is easy to use when it works -- just draw the cards and kill the bird. Not much chance for counterplay, the opponent just has to hope to draw their bird cards for value early in the match.
Trying to Find the Right Build
Today's video is only part one of my journey with the Goliath Bug. I want to take this Axie to at least 2000 MMR, maybe higher -- so I have to find the right team.
This is my first try. The lineup seems pretty good, but how will it fare against the competition in the 1700 MMR range?
The video shows the team in action.
I too am still finding the right team for me, it is hard because I have been only played about 70+ in the arena (I only play in adventure before).
