I love feral spirit a lot when I just started playing Splinterlands. As you can see, I even bought a lv 9 Alpha version feral spirit. Why i love feral spirit so much is because of it insane speed! Look at it. Lv9 can achieve a speed of 7 on its own without any boost! That means you can be sure that it will most likely go first and it has high invasion rate. I had put it in the back row and it works very well to evade sneak attack for a lot of matches. With just 3 mana, you can even get up to atk 4 at max level! Aint that insane!

Match: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_cbf25b0ccb4e2d5f56d16c3c5ed95cdc&ref=namelessnameless

The rule of the match is 32 mana, fury and no range. So it is either magic or melee attacker. Seeing that opponent dont have strong leaf magic and he has high level life summoner: Lorna Shine, it is high chance he will go melee build. Sadly, my only high level life summoner is slogan which is useless in this case. So that also means that I am in quite a big disadvantage cause i am going to use 4 mana for a summoners that give me no boost, while opponent just need 3 mana and all his splinters can get 1 free tank of any attack.

1stShieldbearerTaunt to draw all sneak to protect back, also got shield skill to reduce damage with it high shield and hp
2ndAdelade BrightwingRepair Armour and revive shieldbearer to make it tank even more
3rdUraeussneaker 1, 3mana for 2melee damage and posion
4thstitch leechsneaker 2, 3mana for 3melee and can leech!
5thferal spiritsneaker 3, 3 mana for 3melee and 7 speed!
6thTime mageslow and rust
As you can see I form a sneaker team to focus on attacking the backliner. I use time mage is not just the slow but the rust is the key element here. In case, the opponent use frendul summoner or choose life splinters with shield, that means i need to deal 1-2 melee attack before i can deal any damage to hp. Rust removes all these issue.

After 1 round, the 3 sneaker manages to bring down their stitch leecher while my shield bearer is still quite healthy.

Needless to say, the sneaker team continue to attack the backliner and killed off the armorsmith.

The posion is really powerful as you can see that it already have killed off the shieldbearer but it got revived again and now it is back with 6 shield(no more posion). And the sneaker team once again prove to us that they have successful complete their mission by killing another splinter and it is a very dangerous one: silvershield assassin.

With this remaining setup, it is impossible for opponent to win. There is going to be one melee attack which is blocked by shield and will regain 2 shield to continue the next melee attack.

Dont look down at the power of the sneaker team. It manage to bring down all the backliner even before the tank dies. Just 9 mana and you can deal 8 damage with a chance of posion.

Do you like Feral Spirit?? Of course I love it. Just looking at the insane speed, it can beomce the king of doge.

Strategy? Despite I put 2 magic to bypass shield and deal damage to the tank, it seem like it is quite useless cause uriel seems to be able to heal back. Maybe replacing time mage with dr blight would be a better idea cause it can stop uriel from healing.
