It's finally time, we've waited, and he's arrived: Carnage Titan enters the fray with a myriad of insane stats. This is from the AMA on 2/23/2022, today!
Carnage Titan
Dragon Grund | But WITH Grund | Daria's new best friend
Do you SEE that? Reach, Double Strike, Shield. This is an off-tank, an EXPENSIVE off-tank, but WOW is he strong. Add on Daria and Grund and you've got a hyper violent melee whirlwind in your first two slots. At max level, Carnage Titan is hitting 10 Damage with Daria, WITHOUT an Enrage ruleset. Ouch.
Stats are 2 Melee, 3 Speed, 7 Armor, 8 Health, and Reach and Double Strike at Level 1 for 11 Mana if anybody can't see the image. At max, he has 4 Melee and Shield, the other stats remain the same.
This is a monstrosity of a card, held back only by his 11 Mana cost and the plethora of Giant Slayers to help keep this monster in check. He's got a lot of health, a lot of armor, a lot of damage, and fits into a really nice slot in ALL splinters: This is a really solid card for 99 mana cap.
Best Rulesets: 60+ Mana, Lost Magic, Weak Magic, Opportunity, Enrage, and Melee Only
Now, for my humble opinions on his relevancy in each League:
Bronze: 0/10: Sorry, he's 11 mana, you're going to get to use this guy in basically 99 mana, and that's it. Furthermore, if you have this card, you're probably not in Bronze anyways? IF you have Daria/Camila: Run him like you would Eastwood+Grund, but again, you probably aren't in Bronze if you're running this.
Silver: 10/10: Grund's best buddy enters the fray, and they're gunna punch you TWICE as much as Grund could. Big Ham go bam, well now, Titan brings the frighten. Or something.
Gold: 8/10: I don't have much experience with Gold, but I think he'll become a bit more situational here, as many will have very powerful methods to bypass Shield and his Armor, and Giant Slayer will be running a LOT up here. That being said, Titan will still dominate melee only, weak magic, and lost magic
Diamond/Champion: 6/10 Take this one with a huge grain of salt, I'm going purely off my, very little, knowledge of Diamond/Champion and I'd absolutely LOVE if some players weighed in in the comments: With the addition of a huge amount of buffs, supporting abilities, and poison across the board, I think Titan is actually going to struggle most in the Diamond/Champion range. But look, I don't know much, if anything about this realm of play, so again: Hopefully look to the comments for some Diamond and Champion player's thoughts on the matter
This guy ended up being different from what I had originally guessed in my Splinterlands Speculations article, but I had the right premise: An absolutely violent murder machine.
I got his stats and mana cost right, he is an 11 Mana monster, and he had a good chunk of health and armor (I had guessed 10 6, 16 total, so 8 7, 15 total is fairly close) However, I think I placed too much value on his original form, Gloridax Guardian's, abilities, and missed the crucial one that they utilized: Reach, still, this is probably the closest I have been on my predictions of the Airdrops so far, so I'm getting better.
