Splinterlands - Battling with Runi
Hello Splinterfans!
It took me some time, but finally I got myself a Runi. I really wanted to get one when they were launched but I was hesitating too long and thinking about gas fees on ETH, which are crazy just for moving jpegs around on a PoS chain.
However, I finally decided to just get on with it and get my Runi and I am glad I did. Once I had bought it on OpenSea and added to my Metamask wallet, it was pretty quick and easy to assign to my account. You need to pay gas fees to do that too.
In the manage Runi screen you can then get an overview of your Runi. Here you can see that it costs 6 mana with some really useful abilities like opportunity, rebirth, true strike and reflection shield. The great thing about him too is that it is a neuteral monster, so you can play him in all splinters.
Next I needed to try and think how I would use him in battle. At first I was not sure, but I seem to think of him as a more advanced Deeplurker with his extra abilities and you can use him with all splinters, like here with the light splinter.
It is really cool being able to add Runi to all splinters which is a great benefit of him. Here it is like having a Deeplurker in the life splinter.
Next up I have found him very helpful with Poison ruleset because once he uses his rebirth ability, he is no longer poisoned so can continue attacking your enemy.
Finally, it is also now more fun when you face off against another Runi. Who will take glory in the battle of the Runis?!
Overall, I am loving having Runi and exploring what battles that he best fits into. The fact that he is a neuteral monster with many good abilities is coming in handy quite often. I am only thinking if I should use him or Deeplurker sometimes in a battle as Deeplurker is slightly faster, but in reverse ruleset, Runi is far ahead.
At the moment I am not sure if there will be any usage for Runi on land, but I would currently want to keep him in my lineup to play anyhow.

Out of interest, what did you pay for your runi and what did the gas fees cost? I have wanted to get one, but those gas fees always put me off.
Yeah the gas fees and ETH put me off to begin with (plus my lack of knowledge with ETH) and I missed out on a few good offers. However, I bought this one for 0,22 ETH and the gas fees were not so bad, im not sure if I paid another gas fee somewhere:
The first game was a total slaughter and good win for you with the Runi, I mean look at all that abilities, for six Mana it makes it easy to use even in low mana games as well. You're right, imagine using this alongside the deeplurker.
Thanks, he is great fun to play and those abilities are brilliant. In the water deck with Deeplurker, they both cause lots of trouble 😃😃
Hahaha congratulations I see it took you some gas fee to get this one
Yes, I had to pay gas 3 times at least... crazy when it is 0 on Hive!
Congrats man! Has the price come down on them? That was the big thing that was keeping me from buying one. I didn't have the spare $2000 - $5000 laying around to buy one. I wish I had. I really wanted one. You seem to be killing it! I need to pick your brain sometime!
Thanks, I got it for 0,22 ETH which is below the floor price so I was quite happy with my buy. I will buy another one in case they will be useful for land.
That is cool! I don't think I could scrape together that much ETH even if I wanted to!
I was regretting to not add more ETH when it was near the lows. It seems expensive now somehow!
For sure!
0.22 Ethereum (ETH)? Today (on 2023.07.07) that is around $400 USD. It is somewhat crazy to think that a virtual game card is cost twice as much as my monthly income.
Yeah its crazy to think that an NFT would cost so much.
Should be good for land, 100% boost I think!
I think so too, planning to get a second one for land if I can. 👍
