Hello Everyone! Hope you all are doing great and welcome to another #Splinterlands post. #Splinterlands has a lot of cards that grab attention because of their huge damage numbers or crazy abilities. But sometimes the real heroes are the support cards hiding behind the frontline. Today I want to talk about one of those cards, Endura Brune, a Legendary Water unit from the Conclave Arcana set. At first glance, Endura Brune may not look like the strongest attacker in the game. She only deals 2 ranged damage at max level, but what makes her special is the amount of support she brings to the entire team.

𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐬 ===================== At Level 4 (Max Level), Endura Brune has: * 9 Mana * 2 Ranged Damage * 2 Armor * 10 Health * 4 Speed For a support monster, 10 health is actually pretty solid. She can survive a lot longer than many other backline support units. What really makes this card shine is the combination of her four abilities.

𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝟏: 𝐀𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐲 ================================= **Amplify**: Increases damage of Retaliate, Corrosive Ward, Magic Reflect, Return Fire, and Thorns for all friendly units by 1.

Amplify increases the damage of: * Thorns * Magic Reflect * Return Fire * Retaliate * Corrosive Ward by +1 damage for all friendly units. This ability becomes very powerful when paired with monsters that punish enemies for attacking. A single extra point of reflected damage may not sound like much, but over the course of a battle it can completely change the outcome. I personally love using Amplify teams in rulesets where melee attackers are forced to attack into Thorns. 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝟐: 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 ================================= **Silence**: -1 magic power to all enemy units.

Silence reduces the magic attack of all enemy monsters by 1. Magic-heavy teams can be extremely dangerous, especially in higher leagues. Being able to weaken every enemy magic attacker at once is a huge advantage. Sometimes a monster with only 1 magic damage becomes completely useless after Silence is applied. That alone can save several points of damage every round. Against Water, Death, or Dragon teams that rely heavily on magic attacks, this ability can be a lifesaver. 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝟑: 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 ===================================== **Headwinds**: -1 ranged power to all enemy units.

Headwinds reduces all enemy ranged attacks by 1. This is another amazing support ability. What I really like is that Endura Brune can counter two different attack types at the same time. Silence weakens magic while Headwinds weakens ranged attackers. When facing ranged-focused strategies, this ability can reduce a lot of incoming damage across the whole enemy team. 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝟒: 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 ===================================== **Swiftness**: +1 speed to all allied units.

Swiftness gives +1 speed to all allied monsters. Speed is one of the most underrated stats in Splinterlands. Higher speed means: * More chance to attack first * Higher chance to dodge attacks * Better overall battlefield control A single point of speed can often be the difference between winning and losing. When combined with naturally fast Water monsters, Swiftness can make your entire team feel much stronger. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐚 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐞 ========================================== What makes Endura Brune special is that she doesn't focus on only one thing. She: * Boosts friendly reflection damage with Amplify * Reduces enemy magic damage with Silence * Reduces enemy ranged damage with Headwinds * Increases friendly speed with Swiftness That's four useful support effects packed into a single monster. Many support cards only perform one role, but Endura Brune helps both offensively and defensively at the same time. I think this card becomes even stronger in longer battles because the value from her debuffs keeps adding up every round. 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫 ================================================ I have found Endura Brune works especially well in: * High mana battles * Magic-heavy matchups * Ranged-heavy matchups * Speed-focused Water teams * Reflect damage strategies using Amplify She may not be the card that gets the final kill, but she often creates the conditions that allow the rest of the team to win. 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 ==================== Endura Brune is one of those cards that can be easy to overlook if you only look at attack damage. But once you understand how much value her abilities provide, you start seeing why she is a Legendary card. Having Amplify, Silence, Headwinds, and Swiftness all together makes her one of the most versatile support monsters available to the Water splinter right now. I honestly think this card will become a staple in many Water lineups because it offers utility against almost every type of enemy composition. She may not look flashy on the battlefield, but Endura Brune quietly makes your entire team better. And sometimes that's exactly what wins games in #Splinterlands. Anyway thats it for today’s #splinterlands grind. Please do give your reviews in the comments section below. I would really appreciate it :) I'll be back with another one soon. So do follow me if you want to stay updated. Till then, Stay Happy and Stay Hydrated. **_THUMBNAIL IS EDITED IN CANVA_** **_IMAGE SOURCE IS GIVEN BELOW_** [IMAGE SOURCE](https://splinterlands.com/)
