Welcome back to another awesome and fresh Splinterlands post guys, and I hope all of you are doing pretty great in your lives and enjoying another wonderful day with your friends and family. If you are also a splinterlands player like me, then I guess your ranked battles have been going super well and are steadily climbing the trophy ladder and reaching one step closer to your season goal while grabbing plenty of rewards along the way. If we take a quick look at the ongoing season's timer, the current ranked season still has around 8 days and 5 hours remaining, so there is still plenty of time left for all of us to continue pushing toward our trophy goals and secure as many season rewards as possible before the reset arrives. So, all the best my fellow warriors and I hope you reach your goal sooner this time.
Talking about my own progress in the Frontier mode in this game, I am currently battling in the highest Gold I league tier with 4,020 trophies. As always, my first objective is to reach the 4,200 trophy milestone. Once I get there, I will once again try to push for a leaderboard position if I still have enough battle energy and time remaining. Now, looking at the weekly raffle progress, I currently have 15 raffle entries. There are still around 6 days and 5 hours remaining before the raffle ends, so my target once again is somewhere between 54 and 57 entries this week.
However, today's Frontier Daily Wheel was not so special, but it marked an important milestone for me as I officially completed my 50-day streak today. Sadly, this time I only received 50 Sparks along with a 10 Sparks streak bonus. Even though the reward was rather small, maintaining the streak itself feels rewarding enough to be honest, and my total Sparks balance has now increased to 20,836.
Apart from that, today I opened a total of 6 Foundation Packs that I earned from the last two days' daily missions. This time I managed to pull 1 Epic card, 5 Rare cards including 2 Archons, while the remaining cards were all Common cards. Overall, I think it was another decent pack opening session.
Now moving on to today's featured monster, I would like to introduce another interesting card from the newest Escalation card set. As you have already seen in the title and thumbnail above, today we will be taking a closer look at the Lady Stealthfire.
The Lady Stealthfire was first seen in this game with the launch of the newest Escalation mini card-set edition. This monster belongs to the Neutral element and comes from the Human bloodline. It is classified as a Rare monster card, meaning players need a total of 115 CC cards to fully upgrade it to its maximum level. This monster costs 7 mana to deploy and uses Ranged attacks to deal damage. Besides possessing pretty solid offensive stats, it also offers several support abilities that help both itself and the rest of your ally monsters to survive much longer during battle. At maximum level, this monster unlocks a total of 3 useful abilities that make it valuable, especially in melee-focused teams. Let us now take a closer look at its stats and abilities across different leagues.
At Level 2, the Lady Stealthfire possesses a solid stat consisting of 1 Ranged attack, 2 Speed, 2 Armor, and 6 Health. At this level, it gains its very first ability called Camouflage.
CAMOUFLAGE – Cannot be directly targeted until it moves into the first position. It does not protect against indirect attacks such as Scattershot, Blast splash damage, Trample, or Wingbreak.
At Level 4, the monster improves to 2 Ranged attack while maintaining 2 Speed, 2 Armor, and 6 Health. At this stage, it unlocks another extremely useful support ability called Repair.
REPAIR – Restores up to 2 Armor to the allied unit that has suffered the most Armor damage.
At Level 6, the Lady Stealthfire becomes stronger with 3 Ranged attack, 3 Speed, 2 Armor, and 6 Health. Although no new ability is unlocked at this level, the increase in attack and speed makes it a much more effective ranged damage dealer.
At Level 8, the Lady Stealthfire reaches its maximum form with 3 Ranged attack, 3 Speed, 4 Armor, and 7 Health. At maximum level, it unlocks its final ability called Inspire.
INSPIRE – Gives +1 Melee attack power to all allied melee monsters.
Last but not least, I think Lady Stealthfire is one of those support monsters that quietly creates a huge impact throughout the battle. First of all, its respectable Armor and Health combination gives it enough survivability to remain alive for multiple rounds, while its decent Ranged attack and improved Speed allow it to contribute consistent damage every turn. Another feature that I really like is its camouflage ability. Since it cannot be directly targeted while positioned behind the frontline, it can safely continue supporting the rest of your team without becoming an easy target. It also works nicely as a second line of defence whenever your frontline monster is eventually defeated. The biggest highlight, however, is definitely the repair ability. Every round, Lady Stealthfire restores up to 2 Armor to the allied monster whose Armor has taken the most damage. This can dramatically increase the survivability of your frontline tanks and other valuable monsters, especially against melee and ranged lineups that rely heavily on breaking Armor first. Finally, the inspire ability makes this monster even more attractive when building melee-heavy teams. By increasing the attack power of every allied melee monster by +1, it can noticeably improve your team's overall offensive potential. Pairing Lady Stealthfire with several strong melee attackers is therefore an excellent strategy. Overall, I believe this monster offers a great balance between survivability, team support, and offensive utility, making it a very valuable addition to many different lineups.
