Hello friends How are you all? I hope you all are doing well. So today I am back again with a new Splinterlands post. Today I have reviewed a Water Splinter card. It belongs to the Human Bloodline. The name of this card is Shock Trooper. Its mana cost is only 4. But its abilities and stats are quite amazing. So because of this I decided to review it today. So let’s start the review.
First of all I will talk about its stats. At max level its mana cost is 4. Its attack is 5 and its attack type is Magic. Its speed is also 4. But it has 0 armor. Its health is 6. Its element is Water. It is an Epic card and its type is Human. The most impressive thing for me is that its mana cost is only 4 but its attack is 5. And it is a Magic attack which is really good. Magic attacks normally ignore armor and directly damage health. So this Magic damage is very powerful.
Now let’s talk about its abilities. At max level it has three abilities. They are Electrified. Swiftness and Magic Reflect.
Its first ability is Electrified. This ability gives us a drawback. At the beginning of every round all allied units receive 1 damage. This means Shock Trooper is powerful. But because of this ability if you have low health monsters in your team then they can get defeated quickly.
Because of the Swiftness ability your whole allied team gets +1 Speed. This is very useful because with +1 Speed you have a better chance to attack first. You become faster than your opponent's monsters.
Because of the Magic Reflect ability when Shock Trooper receives a Magic attack it reflects 50% of the damage back to the monster that attacked it. For example if an enemy attacks Shock Trooper with 4 damage then 2 damage is reflected back to that monster. This is a very good ability. And out of these three abilities this is my favorite ability.
Now let’s talk about its best position. In my opinion the best position for Shock Trooper is the middle or the back line. It should not be placed in the first position because it has no armor. And its health is only 6 which is not very high. It is also a support card and a damage dealer. So because of this it should not be placed in the first position. If we place it in the back line then it can use its abilities properly and it can stay safer. So because of this I think it should be placed in the middle or in the back line.
Now let’s talk about its weaknesses. Its first ability is its biggest weakness because it keeps making your team weaker. Because your team receives 1 damage your team slowly becomes weaker. Its second weakness is that it has no armor. Its third weakness is that its health is low. Other than this I do not see any other major weakness in this card.
Now let’s talk about my overall opinion. Overall I really liked this card. But except for its Electrified ability I like almost everything about this card. If it did not have that ability then this card would be much better. Because its mana cost is only 4. So getting so many good things for only 4 mana is really good. Its stats are also quite good. Its other two abilities are also very good. But its first ability is also its weakness. So if I have to rate this card out of 10 then I would give it 8 out of 10. The reason is of course its Electrified ability.
So this was my today's Splinterlands post. I hope you all liked it. If you liked it then please tell me in the comment section. And as always please support me. Thank you so much and bye bye.
That's all for today, I will be back soon with something new to share. Until then, stay happy and keep supporting.
