Cullborn Revenant Breakdown | A 5-Mana Fire Magic Finisher with Opportunity
What's up, Splinterlands community! Hope you are all doing well and winning your ranked matches today.
Today I want to share a breakdown of a Common Fire monster called Cullborn Revenant. This 5-mana Undead card is super dangerous because it combines magic damage with the Opportunity ability right from level 1. Since magic bypasses armor and Opportunity targets the weakest enemy monster, this card acts like a true backline finisher!
Let’s take a look at its stats, abilities, and how to place it properly in your Fire team.
Card Stats and Level Breakdown
Cullborn Revenant is built to hunt down low-health enemies while staying hidden behind your frontline defenders.
Here is how its stats grow across the levels:
- Level 1 to 4: Starts with 2 magic attack, 2 to 3 speed, 1 armor, and 2 to 4 health. It comes with Opportunity unlocked right at level 1.
- Level 5 to 7: Magic attack stays at 2, speed reaches 4, armor goes up to 2 and 3, and health stays at 5.
- Level 8 to 10 (Max Level): At level 8, its magic attack jumps to 3! By level 10 (max level), it reaches 3 magic attack, 5 speed, 3 armor, and 5 health while unlocking its second ability.
Understanding its Abilities
This Undead mage brings a deadly combination to your lineup:
- Opportunity (Level 1): Automatically targets whichever enemy monster on the battlefield has the least health, no matter where they are standing!
- Second Ability (Level 10): Adds extra utility or sustain at fully maxed level.
The combination of Magic Attack + Opportunity is the best part of this card. Most low-health backline monsters rely on armor to stay alive, but because magic damage hits health directly, Cullborn Revenant easily finishes off weakened units in one hit.
How to Set It Up on the Battlefield
Because Cullborn Revenant starts with 2 to 3 health in lower leagues, placement is key to keeping it alive:
- Middle Positions (Slot 3, 4, or 5): Keep it safely tucked behind your main tank and secondary defenders so it can fire off Opportunity magic attacks without taking damage.
- Medium Mana Matches (20 to 32 Mana): At 5 mana, it fits easily into mid-range teams where you need a dedicated finisher.
- Equalizer Ruleset: In Equalizer matches, its low base health gets boosted to match the highest card on the field, letting it act as a tanky, armor-ignoring backline sniper!
Final Thoughts
Cullborn Revenant is a very reliable Fire card. For 5 mana, getting a magic attacker that seeks out low-health enemies makes it awesome for cleaning up dying enemy monsters before they can attack back.
