I guess all of you are doing well in your lives and spending an energetic day going with your friends and family. For those of you who are already into splinterlands and love to engage with this web3 strategy game on a daily basis, I hope you have gladly included playing ranked battles, tournaments, brawls or producing resources in land plots as a part of your daily life routine. If you actively participate in ranked battles every season and love to compete against other players throughout the whole season with a goal set in mind, then you actually know how thrilling and addictive it is to keep playing this game and build your account. Now, if we take a quick look at the timer of the ongoing ranked season, there are only 5 days and 9 hours left for this current ranked season to meet its end. So, whatever goal you have set for yourself in this season, whether it is to enter a particular league tier and win some shiny reward loot chests or to compete against the OGs for a glorious seat in the top champion leaderboard, I hope you reach there quickly and easily this time.
Now, moving on, let us take a look at the frontier mode and my own activities in this gameplay mode in splinterlands. If you have been living under a rock, splinterlands has recently released a completely free-to-play mode in the game named Frontier mode, where you can play this mode for free and can also earn rewards in the form of foundation cards or packs. For those who are interested, just start your journey by playing the campaign mode and earn your first bunch of cards for free. Then use those foundation edition cards to kickstart your journey in frontier mode, and as you keep playing, progressing and reaching higher league tiers, your rewards will be bigger and better. On top of that, you can also choose to sell your earned cards or packs for DEF tokens. So, if you are still not playing this game, I don't know what the heck you are doing! Now, taking a look at my own performance in this mode, right now I am playing at the highest Gold I league tier with a trophy count of 3,740. Now, with only around 5 days in hand, I think I can reach 4,000 trophies easily this time, but I can鈥檛 say the same about entering the Frontier Leaderboard, as last time, I failed to enter there for just a handful of more wins. Anyways, on the other hand, another weekly raffle is about to happen today ans so far, I have earned 51 entries for today鈥檚 raffle, and after playing for today, if I manage to complete all the 3 daily missions today, the entry number will jump to 60 and hence, more chance of getting something from the raffle. Let鈥檚 see how it goes.
Moving forward, let us now come to the main topic of this post, as today, I will be talking about another awesome Conclave Arcana monster with you all. As you have already seen in the thumbnail above, today I will be discussing the Conclave Artificer card. So, if you are interested in knowing more about this card, let鈥檚 take a deep dive without any further ado.
The Conclave Artificer is a monster type card, which was first seen in splinterlands with the launch of the conclave Arcana core edition card set. This monster card belongs to the Neutral element, and it comes from the Gnome bloodline. By rarity, it is a common type card, so you would need a total of 400 CC cards to upgrade this monster to its max level. This monster only requires 4 mana to be used in battles, so you can easily fit this card in your lineup when playing low to medium mana limit matches, or the ones with Little League ruleset. It is a tank type card and does not have any attack type, but it holds a strong combo of health + armour at high speed and also features 3 abilities at its max level, which I am going to talk about later in this post. Let us now take a further look at this card鈥檚 league wise stats and abilities below to find out more.
At level 3, this monster card possesses a decent stat, which consists of 3 speed, 1 armour and 5 health. Apart from that, it also gets an ability called Camouflage since its initial level, which makes it impossible to be targeted directly until at first position.
CAMOUFLAGE - Cannot be directly targeted unless in the first position. Does not affect indirect attacks (e.g. Scattershot, Blast splash damage, or Trample) or Wingbreak.
When this monster gets upgraded further and reaches level 5, it gets an increased armour and now flaunts 3 speed at 2 armour with 5 health. Not only that, but it also receives another ability called Lookout at this level.
LOOKOUT - Adjacent units take 1 less damage from attackers with sneak, opportunity, or snipe. reduces damage from all enemy Ambush attacks by 50% (rounded down).
As this monster gets upgraded further to level 8, it gets 3 speed with 5 armour and 7 health. Though it does not get any new abilities at this level, its increased armour and health will definitely help you in battlefield.
Finally, when you upgrade this tank beast to its max level of 10, it receives 4 speed with 7 armour and 8 health. Gladly, it also gets a brand new ability at its max level called Void Armour, which suddenly makes this monster a pure anti-magic monster.
VOID ARMOUR - Magic damage hits armour before reaching health.
Last but not least, if you are a veteran player in this game, you already know the importance of attack-less tank cards. They generally come at a cheap mana cost, help you protect your frontline, and if used with weapon training monsters, gain attack power and help you take down enemy cards faster. This card, on top of that, comes with 3 awesome abilities, including the Lookout ability, which is very useful to protect other friendly monsters and the Void Armour ability that keeps those enemy magic monsters busy breaking its armour + health, when you take down the opponent鈥檚 cards one by one. So, overall, I think it's a great card to have in your arsenal. What do you think?
