In Splinterlands, the Magic Attacker has a very special feature. With other attack types the armor is destroyed first and only then is the health damaged. But a Magic Attacker bypasses the armor and hits the health directly. This is its biggest advantage. Even a monster with very strong armor becomes ineffective against it.
That is why we should understand the value of Magic Attackers and add a good number of them to our deck so we always have a strong selection for any battle rule or mana battle.
This is especially important in high mana battles where opponents usually have a strong defensive lineup. In those situations the role of a Magic Attacker becomes extremely important.
Today I will introduce you to a monster that has excellent magic power along with great abilities. Its name is Captain's Ghost. It belongs to the Water element and is a 7 mana monster card that you can select in almost any type of battle.
First lets talk about this monsters visual appearance.
As its name is Captain's Ghost, its character is designed like a ghost. In the background you can see water bubbles and water drops while the monster itself is made in a ghostly form.
Inside its body is powerful magical energy and it is ready to release that energy to destroy enemy units.
As I mentioned earlier it is a strong Magic Attacker. At Level 8 it has 4 Magic Attack. This means that every round it attacks with 4 magic damage dealing heavy damage to enemy units.
Magic Attack bypasses armor. If an enemy monster has 5 armor and 5 health and when this Magic Attacker hits it, the armor will still remain at 5 but the health will drop to only 1. This is because the attack deals 4 damage directly to health ignoring the armor completely...
So even though the enemy still has full armor, it can still be eliminated because its health reaches zero.
Unfortunately this monster has no armor to protect its own health. Therefore you should not place it in the front position. Instead try to place it in the middle or back positions so that it can survive longer in battle.
It has 8 Health which gives it a good amount of survivability. This is enough health to keep it alive for 3 to 4 rounds in a battle. If you pair it with a healer or a protection monster, it can survive even longer...
It also has 2 Speed which increases its attack speed and also helps enemy attacks miss more often.
At Level 8 this monster has two special abilities such as Affliction and Oppress. These two abilities make the monster even more dangerous.
First, let's discuss about Affliction. After every successful attack there is a 50% chance that the enemy unit will become Afflicted. An Afflicted unit cannot be healed.
The purpose of Affliction is to stop all healing. If the enemy has healer monsters or a summoner with healing abilities they will not be able to heal the Afflicted monster. No healing effect will work on it.
The benefit of this is that your allied monsters can eliminate that enemy more easily in the following rounds because it will receive no healing or protection.
The second ability is Oppress.
Oppress deals double damage to monsters that have no attack power. Even monsters that receive attack through Weapons Training also take double damage.
In almost every team there are one or two support monsters that have no attack power. Against those monsters, Oppress is extremely dangerous because it deals double damage.
Instead of attacking with 4 Magic damage it attacks with 8 damage, allowing it to eliminate support monsters very quickly.
Now let's move to the most important section of this content which is Price and Rent.
At the moment, this card is available on the market. If you want to buy it at Level 1 it costs around $0.07 making it a very cheap option for beginners.
As you continue upgrading it the Level 8 version costs around $6.60 which is still quite reasonable. You can easily buy it and add it to your deck.
However if a player does not want to buy the card or cannot afford it, they can simply rent it.
The rental price starts from around 1 to 10 DEC per day making it an affordable option.
By renting it you can add it to your deck and take full advantage of its excellent abilities and powerful Magic Attack.
