Welcome to another fresh splinterlands post, guys and I hope all of you are doing pretty well in your lives and enjoying an amazing weekend with your loved ones. Now, for those of you who love to play this awesome web3 card game, I hope you already know that the last splinterlands ranked season has ended already and as usual, a fresh new season has also started right after. If we take a peek at the current ranked season timer, there are 12 days and 19 hours of time in hand before this current season meets its end. So, we have plenty of time to perform in this season and now it's time to set a goal and start working on it. Most of you have already choose a mission for yourself I think, and whether it is to fight and win enough matches to enter a particular league tier, or to compete against the OG players in order to secure a glorious seat in the top champion leaderboard, I wish best of luck to all of you and hope you accomplish your mission within time and win even better rewards this time.
Now, talking about myself, I am, as usual, playing the frontier mode on a daily basis and keeping myself busy building my complete foundation edition deck. In my previous posts, I have already shared that apart from some epic cards, all of my other foundation cards are already at max level and right now, my only goal is to maximise the levels of the remaining bunch of epic cards. But if you also play the frontier mode, you already know how rare these epic cards are to be pulled from rewards and how hard it is to organically earn enough of them to upgrade to max level. Anyways, as I am continuously playing at the highest Gold I league and thus, I am winning 1 foundation pack and 3 raffle entries every time I complete a daily mission. On a good day when I am able to complete all the 3 daily missions, I win 3 packs and 9 raffle tickets and no doubt, those earned packs are helping me a lot to build my collection. Now, along with the ranked season, the frontier season has also ended and a fresh new season has already begun. Sadly, this time I could only push myself upto 2,160 trophies and failed to enter the frontier leaderboard by only a narrow margin. Last time, I was so happy to achieve the 39th rank, but this time, something else was written for me by destiny. But no worries, as I will keep practising and try to bring my best performance in the battlefield and let’s see how it goes this time.
Now, let’s move forward and come to the main topic of this post, as today, I will be talking about another awesome Arcade Colony monster with you all. As you have already seen in the thumbnail above, today I will be talking about Zyrx The Emberglace. So, if you are interested in knowing more about this card, then let's take a deep dive without any further ado.
Zyrx The Emberglace is a monster type card that was seen for the first time in splinterlands with the release of the Conclave Arcana core edition card-set. This monster belongs to the Dragon element and it comes from the Dragon bloodline. By rarity, it is a legendary type card, which means you would need a total of 11 cards to upgrade it to max level. In order to use this card in battles, you need to spend a whopping 10 mana cost, so ideally, you can use this monster in your lineup when playing high mana limit matches. The best thing about this card is its dual melee + magic attack and apart from that, it also features a strong combo of health + armour at high speed with 5 abilities at its max level, which I will talk about later in this post. Let us now take a further look at this card’s league wise stats and abilities below to find out more about this card.
At level 1, this monster card possesses decent stats that consist of 5 melee and 2 magic attack power at 4 speed with 4 armour and 10 health. Not only that, but it also gets 2 abilities since its initial level called Flying and Incendiary, out of which, the flying is very useful, but the other one, Incendiary, is a bit tricky.
FLYING - +25% chance to evade physical attacks. No effect if the attacker also has Flying. Immune to Earthquake.
INCENDIARY - At the beginning of round 2 and each following round, applies burning. Burning has a 33% chance to spread to either adjacent unit at the beginning of each round, then all burning units lose 2 health. Burning can be cleansed.
As this monster reaches level 2, its armour stats get increased a little bit and it now carries 5 melee and 2 magic attack power at 4 speed with 5 armour and 10 health. Apart from that, it also gets a new ability at this level called Charge.
CHARGE - Can use melee attack from any position.
When you upgrade this monster further to level 3, it receives more enhanced stats, which consist of 5 melee and 2 magic attack power at 4 speed with 6 armour and 10 health. Not only that, but it also gets another new ability at this level called Execute.
EXECUTE - If the target has 2 or fewer health after a successful attack, perform another attack against the same unit.
Finally, when you upgrade this monster to its max level of 4, it gets 5 melee and 2 magic attack power at 4 speed with 7 armour and 10 health. Apart from that, it also adds another ability to its collection named Bloodlust.
BLOODLUST - +1 to all stats after dealing a killing blow.
Last but not least, I really like this mobster and not to mention it is literally what we may call as an overpowered entity in this game. The only tricky part is managing its negative Incendiary ability. You get a dual attack type with 4 positive abilities, including charge, bloodlust and execute and all these 3 abilities together make this monster even more powerful. So, overall, I think it's a great piece of card to keep in your collection. What do you think?
