The main intention of splinterlands is to spread splinterlands all over the world. This week's theme is to share a battle you did with "Cave Slug". I am sharing the battle I did with Cave Slug.
- Cave Slug is a Common Untamed Life Monster and also a melee card. It costs 5 mana. It has 2 melee damage, 1 speed, and 4 health along with Opportunity ability. It has Scavenger ability from level six. And also it has Slow ability from level ten. Opportunity ability means
Monsters with the Opportunity ability may attack from any position and will target the enemy Monster with the lowest health.Scavenger ability meansGains 1 max health each time any monster dies.Slow ability meansReduces the Speed of all enemy Monsters.I think this monster costs over mana and I don't like it so much but I use this card often during high mana cap battles.
@Splinterlands also asked some questions and let me answer them.
