Flame Imp
Level 5

![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/Qmb4jXHY5odnnTZVQUUGsudNGmJKJRSLfbeny849XdA4yu) I finally earned enough Flame Imps to level him up to Level 5. This takes 21 cards. + At level 5 he gives your team +1 Speed. + Note: Fire is already a pretty fast team. + Each card's speed rating determines the order of attacks. Here's [my first battle with the speed special ability](https://steemmonsters.com/?battle=39ecae6fbde0137505c94045896591cc4c345db9&ref=wizardave). + You tell me... + Did I win because of the Level 5 Flame Imp? + Or in spite of him? ### Waiting to rumble... NOTE: At first glance it appears I may be outclassed. My highest level is 5, theeir's is 7. ![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmUtyt2EQuk5ScgKbMdwtpJQ2c619NMURbKH5ANkGDpspZ) ### After special abilities applied NOTE: Swamp Thing slowed my team. Flame Imp returned my team's speed to normal. ![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmQre85jrgJ1wriaUFbXkvoxgDXr3RbhHk9U4hDTJhQ8Q4) ### Round 1 NOTES: The rule set was weak magic, so Flame Imp damaged Stone Golem's shield instead of health like normal. + But that meant Fire Demon's attack was to Stone Golem's health. + Normally it would have taken out the shield. + End result was 1 extra health damage. + Magi of the Forest's +4 magic attack only took out Serpent of the Flame's +2 shield. + Normally it would have done 4 health damage. + But this allowed Earth Elemental to attack health by -3. + I had 1 less health + shield damage because of the Weak Magic rule set. + Stone Golem misses with his attack. + Would he have missed without Flame Imp returning my speed to normal? + Maybe. Maybe not... End of Round 1 ![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmP2GGKwUfz4GBaehNoufQSX25vdfLnFiUwEhewtTVUPDv) ### Round 2 NOTES: + Serpent of the Flame poisons Stone Golem! + It doesn't matter, because Flame Imp and Fire Demon took him out. + Thanks to Fire Demon's blast the new tank (Magi of the Forest) is down to only 1 health! + I thought I was done for when they took out my Serpent of the Flame. + Flame Imp only has 1 health. + Take him out and Fire Demon can't attack from the tank position. (Ranged) + Swamp Thing missed! What luck!!! + Was it because Flame Imp flys or because of his speed? + Maybe a combination of both? End of Round 2 I thought I would lose for sure... ![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/Qmdr4gnu69oRMwwZzUiV6rrkW4RYaX3EiMX26c9yn3fy8B) ### Round 3 NOTES: + Flame Imp takes out Magi of the Forest. + Swamp Thing can no longer attack. (Ranged in tank position) + Earth Elemental heals itself of damage from Fire Demon's blast. + Another miss!!! What luck!!! + Was it because Flame Imp flys or because of his speed? + Maybe a combination of both? End of Round 3 ![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmUQ4os24rbNpmbCaMwapJn1uHcaRmG438QZTnLGrDD5a4) ### Swamp Thing is killed setting up the win. Earth Elemental cannot attack from the tank position. + The only thing it can do is postpone the inevitable a bit by healing itself. + He dies in Round 6. ![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/Qmf3uD5UbvPKgjwLGus33xHK9pMrdaKPmGgQ1tHw89ogMy) ### Conclusion I cannot tell if I won this battle ***because of*** the Flame Imp, ***or in spite of*** him. # What do you think?
