He had his day of fame!

in #spt5 years ago (edited)
At the end of last season several new reward cards were launched, and among them a rather explosive and controversial. It's the rare neutral Gremlin Blaster card!

"These little daredevils have the special ability to handle highly explosive objects without accidentally exploding themselves… usually. When Kobolds are nervous about blowing a cavern open, they often call in the services of a Gremlin Blaster. They smell terrible and they're incredibly rude." to Kobolds, but when a powerful but lightweight explosion is needed, Gremlin Blasters are always the best for the job. "

"When this monster dies, it does 2 damage to all enemy monsters"


In no armored + low-mana battles, low hit point monsters became virtually unusable due to how quickly they were killed.

It was modified after just 1 day due to the mess it was causing!

While the common Cursed Slimeball of Death splint card and the epic Thunderbird of the Life splint need level 6 (respectively 100 and 46 cards) to acquire this ability, Gremelin already had the innate ability to blow it all up!

In this battle that I lost in a Silver League tournament, we can see how Gremelin in conjunction with the Angel of Life became even more devastating as it went into action for the second time after being resurrected:

I was already getting ready to use the same strategy and was also keen to get a Gremelin Blaster gold foil when the game's developer team decided to modify the card's stats, removing the ability to Redemption and replacing it with a "simple" one Blast.

At least I'll be free of this torment I suffered in this battle I shared. :D

What's up? What did you think of the card before and after the modification? Could they not maintain his ability when he reached higher levels? With just blast is the card still good?

Thanks for reading and see you next time!

That was an exemple of "Hero to Zero". It will never be played again...

Could be useful in mele attack from all positions but over all I agree with you. Redemption at level one was too strong ..... removed and reintroduced at level 3 would of been the right move I think. I wouldn't be surprised if redemption gets reduced to -1 in the future as -2 on all monsters is insane.

An earthquake ability would be nice, so anyone using the card would also be damaged and have to think about putting high hit points cards.

Hahaha It was a great battle and I had fun playing it with other strategies. Good old days, Gremlin will forever be remembered alongside Prince Rennyne, Prince Julian and other cards that have been nerfed lol

Btw, I was just checking mentions and steem as a whole after a long time. So, sorry for the late comment.

Happy New Year!

Hi, @akomoajong Nice ! Good to see you here! Was Prince R also Nerfed? This one I didn't know, was he even better? Impossible. LOL

Hello @marianaemilia yeah, Prince was nerfed. Below is an image of the change made!

@akomoajong Cool I didn't know, I'm relatively new to the game, but at least it got speed and I love it. kisses and thanks.

Its now the poor man's Exploding Dwarf, without Retaliate or Trample.
That said, in higher levels it at least has enough life to survive Thorns and go again; and at only 3 mana I can see it doing well in Melee Mayhem and SuperSneak.

Interesting! Thanks for the feedback. Need to see if it will have speed enough to function as the dwarf

Foi a pior coisa que vi no jogo, essa carta era perfeita eu não vi nenhum problema com ela...

eu achei meio exagerado, mas já estava me adaptando para começar a utilizar

Woohoo!
