Hi Guys! It's me again masterzarlyn28 in the hive! I'll be sharing my Splinterlands Cards Card Look Alike Episode with you in today's blog. We are still on the letter "B" and the last ability for this letter is BLOODLUST,I pick 1`card from common and rare monster FROM FIRE AND DEATH ELEMENT!! We will discuss the game lore, statistics, card cost, and availability.

The Burning Lands city of Azad is home to uncountable thousands of the toughest people in the world from dozens of different races. There are warriors, thieves, refugees and survivors from all over the Planet. Even in spite of the terrible overpopulation problems and resource crises of the Burning Lands, the city accepts almost everyone whose ship makes it to the port of Noxia. Brutality of Azad life usually takes care of the population problem within the city walls anyways. Whoever is not fit to survive in Azad simply dies and is forgotten. The largest and most intact race of people who have made a home in Azad are the Khmer.

The Khmer were once a warlike and conquering people on the other side of the world. Then in the span of a few days, everything was taken from them by the nameless threat from which everyone ran. Back home in the land of their sprawling empire, they were ruled by seven sisters, the Khmer princesses. Now only one remains, Princess Sipha, as the leader of her people. The Khmer people no longer have ambitions to conquer, but merely to survive so at some point in the future they can seek their revenge against the nameless threat.

In the Khmer empire, the armies were made entirely of women. In those times, the most feared general was a woman by the name of Sarius. Now Sarius is the only surviving general of the Khmer people, and she has no armies to lead in the Burning Lands. Longing for battle, she asked Princess Sipha if she could be allowed to honor the Khmer by fighting as a Moxian Gladiator. Princess Sipha accepted the request, fearing that Sarius would get herself into some trouble in the city. In single combat, Sarius wears a magnificent suit of traditional Khmer armor and fights with two matching wide-blade short swords. With her exotic styles of hand-to-hand combat, she will be a difficult match for any opponent of any size or strength.

Deep in the Raysco Mountains, near the northern edge of Mortis and the volcano of Bren-ha, there is a small cluster of jagged hills called the Blade Mounts. It is in these treacherous hills that the Psychler clan has lived for centuries. Though they live in the midst of death, they have never subscribed to the philosophies of the Dark Eternals, and no one in their family history has ever signed the Dark Contract to bind their souls to the Lord of Darkness.

Damon had a special contract written for his enlistment as a Gladiator in the Moxian tournaments. Instead of gold or Heliostones, he has requested his pay in many types of Khymian medicine, which he intends once his service has ended to take home, so that the Psychler clan never has to leave the safety of their hidden mountain homes.

CARD STATS

🥉 BRONZE LEAGUE 🥉

The stats of Sarius and Damon are identical, including range damage, health power, and mana. The only difference is that Damon is much faster than Sarius by 1 speed and it has additional ability which is snipe that target enemy monster with ranged, magic or no attack that are not in the first position.

Both health powers have increased while the range damage of Sarius increased by 1 while the ability of Damon also adds up b 1 which is Piercing. If the damage from a melee attack or a ranged strike exceeds the target's armor, the remaining damage will be dealt to the target's health.

One point has been added to Sarius' health, and he now has the poison ability, which deals automatic damage to the designated enemy monster at the start of each round after it has been applied. Damon's ranged damage and speed have both risen while his health power and ability have remained the same.

At max level, Sarius range damage and speed increased while Damon's damage also increase and has new ability again which is Snare. Damon now have a total of 4 abilities, the last ability he has is the snare which removes the Flying ability of the monster that he attacks.

As a common card with a higher possibility of being obtained than a rare card like Sarius, Whistling Damon has more cards printed. Although their stats are nearly same, Damons provides significantly more than Sarius. Sarius only has a strong additional ability, which is poison, in addition to his bloodlust..

GOOD MATCH RULESET

CLOSE RANGE
Ranged attacks may be used in the first position in battles.
You can use high HP or high speed Ranged monsters at position 2 (or even at position 1 if it has Heal). Choose summoners that give a bonus to Ranged attack or to speed and then choose high damage Ranged attack monsters. Beware of the possibility that your opponent might pick Lir Deepswimmer as summoner or monsters with Return Fire. High HP and Heal is the way to go in this ruleset.

ODD ONES OUT
Only Monsters with odd Mana costs may be used in battles.
There are no special tricks for this ruleset, but having an idea of mana points of a few monsters helps in predicting what your opponent can and cannot use.

LITTLE LEAGUE
Monsters and summoners of 4 Mana or less will be the only ones available in this ruleset. Try increasing your defense by using summoners that give +1 armor or +1 health. Use monsters with at least 2 magic damage and 2 ranged damage. Using Mylor as summoner in this ruleset helps a lot.
