    Hello Splinters Family

    This week, my article is about bloodlust. Bloodlust triggers each time a monster kills an opponent, granting it a +1 increase to all its stats. In a reverse speed rule, instead of increasing the speed, it decreases it by -1. All monsters from the Gladius edition are equipped with bloodlust abilities. The very first reward featuring bloodlust is Jared Scar, making it a frequent choice for me, especially when the rule involves equal opportunity and melee mayhem. This is because Jared Scar can attack from any position on the battlefield. The bloodlust ability gained even more strength with the emergence of the "born again" rule, where all monsters acquire the ability to resurrect once during a battle.

    Below are the Gladius Edition Cards.

    Now, there are additional monsters with bloodlust that are not part of the Gladius Edition set. Among the newly added monsters, I often use Sea Wreck. Aside from the bloodlust ability, it also has return fire and magic reflect abilities, making it suitable for use as a tank or in the 1st position among monsters. Below are the non-Gladius Edition cards with bloodlust.

    To counter the bloodlust abilities, you need to use monsters with dispel to remove the additional stats gained from bloodlust.

    The Battle condition is a 29 mana cap the elements you can use are fire, life, and dragon. The rule are Tis But Scraches, Aimless, and, Little League.

    I chose Tarsa to grant an additional +1 to life and melee attack to all unit. Also, because the available elements are life, fire, and dragon, and only 4-mana monsters can be used, it is possible that my opponent will attempt a backdoor attack. My strategy is to protect my backline using a monster with thorns ability.

    BATTLE LINE-UP

    CONCLUSIONS - Luckiest Guy Regular.png

    • Bloodlusts are very dangerous when the rules are born again because there is a possibility of triggering it twice on a single monster.
    • To counter the bloodlust abilities, you need to use monsters with dispel to remove the additional stats gained from bloodlust.
    • The addition of the weapons training ability makes the no-attack monster with bloodlust useful in battle.
