Hello fellow Splinterlands Players! I'm here to talk about Splinterlands abilities. There are 64 abilities out there. And our ability to discuss today is Backfire.
The definition of the ability is If an enemy misses this Monster with an attack, the attacker takes 2 damage.
Just think about it, you have a very fast card, it's flying, it has dodge or an ability like that or you may use Brighton Bloom to make every card fly. Add this ability and every time they evade, the attacker takes 2 damage. It's better than thorns maybe :) But I must say that this is a Silver, Gold or more league strategic ability I guess with a leveled up summoner. Remember, if you don't have your summoner on the same level or more levels than your card, your card decreases on the same level of your summoner.
There are 7 monsters that have this ability. Life deck has no card possessing Backfire. Monsters that have this ability are:
Fire Splinter
Tenyii Striker gains this ability on Level 7.
Water Splinter
Flying Squid gains this ability when its maxed-out.
Earth Splinter
Venari Knifer gains this ability on Level 6.
Death Splinter
Riftwing gains this ability on Level 5.
Pelacor Deceiver gains this ability on Level 6.
Dragon Splinter

I hope you got a little bit better understanding of the game. I'm glad if I helped a little bit.
See you later everyone!
