Welcome back to another cool Splinterlands post guys, and I hope all of you are doing pretty well in your lives and spending a wonderful day with your loved ones. Now, if you are one of those warriors who are actively grinding this amazing web3 strategy-based card game and trying hard to improve your NFT and other asset collection, I believe all of you are once again busy fighting those intense and breathtaking battles in the ranked season arena and trying to climb higher in trophy ladder before the season slowly reaches its end. If we take a quick look at the current ranked season timer, there are still around 9 days and 19 hours left before the reset happens, so there is still plenty of time left in our hands for grinding missions, collecting rewards, and aiming for bigger trophy milestones.
Now talking about my own progress in the foundation mode in splinterlands, I am currently playing in the highest Gold I league tier with a trophy count of around 3,560. My target for this season remains the same as usual, first reaching the 4,200 trophy mark and then trying for a leaderboard spot if things go smoothly from there. On the other hand, if we take a look at the ongoing weekly Frontier raffle, I currently hold a total of 18 entries and there are still around 3 days and 18 hours left before the raffle draw happens. This time, I will once again try to grind my way toward around 54 to 57 entries and hopefully improve my luck a bit more.
Apart from that, today I also opened a total of 4 Foundation packs today that I had collected from the last 2 days of rewards. The outcome turned out pretty decent because I managed to pull 1 Epic card, 1 Gold Foil Rare card, 6 Rare cards, including 3 archons and the rest Common cards.
Now moving forward, let us come to the main topic of this post, as today I will be discussing another powerful monster from the newest Escalation mini card set. As you have already seen in the title and thumbnail above, today I will be talking about Azr the Relentless. So if you are interested in learning more about this monster card, let us take a deeper dive without any further delay.
Azr the Relentless is a monster-type card that was introduced in the game with the newest Escalation mini card set. This monster belongs to the Earth element and comes from the Djinn bloodline. By rarity, this card is a Legendary monster, so you will require a total of 11 CC cards in order to upgrade it to its maximum level. If you want to use this monster in battles, you need to spend a pretty high 9 mana, which makes it more suitable for medium to high mana limit matches. The attack type of this monster is both Melee and Magic, which already makes it a dangerous dual-attacking beast. Apart from its dual attack power, this monster also comes with increasing speed and health as it levels up, along with several useful support and debuff abilities. At its maximum level, this monster gains a total of four abilities, which I will discuss below. Let us now take a closer look at its league-wise stats and abilities.
At level 1, this monster already possesses terrifying stats that consist of 2 melee attack power along with 2 magic attack power at 3 speed with 4 health. Apart from these strong dual attacks, it also gains the Reach ability from its initial level. This ability is extremely useful because it allows the monster to stay safely behind the frontline while still utilising both attack types every round.
REACH – Can use melee attacks from the second position.
When you upgrade this monster further to level 2, its stats improve slightly and it now carries 2 melee attack power along with 2 magic attack power at 4 speed with 5 health. At this level, it also unlocks another powerful ability called Kindred Will: Triage. This ability can become extremely useful in healing-based strategies if you place proper Kindred monsters adjacent to this card.
KINDRED WILL: TRIAGE – At the start of battle, adjacent units with Kindred Spirit will gain Triage.
As this monster gets upgraded further and reaches level 3, its stats improve once again and it now possesses 3 melee attack power along with 2 magic attack power at 5 speed with 6 health. At this level, it also unlocks another very useful debuff ability called Rust. This ability becomes very dangerous against heavily armored enemy lineups because it weakens their defences immediately at the start of battle.
RUST – Reduces the armor of all enemy units by 2.
Finally, when you upgrade this monster to its maximum level of 4, its stats improve further and it now holds 3 melee attack power along with 2 magic attack power at an incredible 6 speed with 7 health. At this level, it also gains another useful ability called Impede. This ability helps slow enemy monsters down further and gives your own lineup a major speed advantage in longer battles.
IMPEDE – Reduces the target’s speed by 1 after each successful attack.
Last but not least, I think the best feature of this monster is definitely its dual attack type. For just 9 mana, you get both melee and magic attacks every round, which already makes this card feel extremely dangerous in battle. On top of that, it also possesses the Reach ability, allowing you to place it safely in the second position while still fully utilizing the melee attack. Another major advantage is the Kindred Will: Triage ability. If you place monsters with Kindred Spirit adjacent to this card, they gain the Triage ability and start healing wounded backline monsters every round, which can become extremely powerful during long battles. The Rust ability is also another excellent addition because it reduces 2 armor from all enemy monsters, making armored tanks much easier to eliminate. Finally comes the Impede ability, which continuously slows enemy monsters down by reducing their speed after every successful hit. Combined with this monster’s naturally high speed, it can quickly dominate slower enemy teams. Overall, I think Azr the Relentless is an extremely dangerous dual-attack swamp beast with strong offensive power, useful support abilities, and excellent debuff potential. What do you think?
