Hola a todos y bienvenidos una vez mas a mi blog, sigue esta serie hablando de las cartas de Splinterlands, en mis post anteriores hable de las cartas de 0 puntos de mana y tambi茅n aquellas con costo de 1 punto, esta vez voy a ir por una ruta distinta, y es que no me voy a fijar en el mana de las cartas si no en una caracter铆stica bastante particular, las cartas que no poseen ataque. Todos sabemos que hay 3 tipos de ataque distintos en el juego pero existe un cuarto tipo de cartas que no tienen ataque de ning煤n tipo, estas son bastante peculiares y hoy en este post las vamos a analizar, as铆 que 隆vamos all谩!
Hello Battlemages and welcome once again to my Splinterlands blog, this posts series continues talking about the Splinterlands cards and their stats, in my previous posts I talked about the cards with 0 mana points and also those with a cost of 1 point, this time I will go a different route, and I am not going to look at the mana of the cards but in a quite particular feature, the cards that do not have attack. We all know that there are 3 different types of attack in the game but there is a fourth type of cards that have no attack of any kind, these are quite peculiar and today in this post we are going to analyze them, so let's do it!
Este tipo de cartas esta presente en el juego desde la edici贸n Alpha y para este punto, tenemos un total de 24 disponibles para utilizar, repartidas entre todos los splinters. La primera de ellas fue Angel of Light, del splinter vida y la ultima a帽adida hasta ahora es Baakjira, que como podras recordar, fue a帽adida como una carta Airdrop en la edicion Chaos Legion. A diferencia de las cartas de mana 0 y 1, estas cartas vienen disponibles en todas las formas y colores, es decir hay desde mana bajo hasta mana alto.
Esta es una pregunta que todos nos hicimos cuando empezamos a jugar y es que es normal pensarlo... si no tienen ataque 驴para que sirven estas cartas?
La verdad es que la respuesta es bastante ambigua, pues estas cartas presentan tantas estrategias posibles que la verdad es que no hay una sola forma de jugarlas, a ninguna de ellas, se les puede dar mucha amplitud con las combinaciones posibles, lo cual las hace muy vers谩tiles.
This type of card without attack is present in the game since the ancient Alpha edition and by this point of the history of the game, we have a total of twenty four cards available to use of this type, distributed among all the splinters. The first of them was Angel of Light, from the splinter life and the last one added so far is Baakjira, which as you may remember, was added as an Airdrop card in the Chaos Legion edition. Unlike the 0 and 1 mana cards, these cards come in all shapes and colors, i.e. from low mana to high mana.
This is a question that we all asked ourselves when we started playing and it is normal to think... if they have no attack, what are these cards for?
The truth about this is that the answer is quite ambiguous, because these cards have so many possible strategies that the truth is that there is not only one way to play them, none of them, you can give them a lot of amplitude with the possible combinations, which makes them very versatile.
En este splinter solo tenemos dos cartas disponibles con estas caracteristicas, Venari Heatsmith es un mini tanque excelente para batallas de mana bajo en rangos altos, antes de eso sirve mas como un se帽uelo que otra cosa, mientras que Scavo Chemist es un gran soporte para las batallas con veneno, pues con su habilidad Cleanse es capaz de anular el peligroso efecto del envenamiento, ademas conforme va subiendo de nivel se va haciendo mas fuerte agregando Slow y Headwings a su set de habilidades.
In this splinter we only have two cards available with these characteristics of no attack type, the first one is Venari Heatsmith is an excellent mini tank for low mana battles at high ranges thanks to the Torns ability and also Amplify, before that it serves more as a decoy than anything else, while Scavo Chemist is a great support for the battles with poison, because with his Cleanse ability he is able to nullify the dangerous effect of poisoning, and as he levels up he becomes stronger by adding Slow and Headwings to his set of abilities.
En este splinter tenemos disponibles nada mas y nada menos que cuatro cartas, siendo el tercer splinter del juego con mas cartas en este apartado, por un lado esta Merdaali Guardian, que para mi, es uno de los mejores soportes de todo el juego. Desde nivel 1 tiene Tank Heal, en nivel 5 aprende Repair y en nivel 8 aprende Strengthen, con lo cual es el soporte perfecto para cartas con mucha vida y/o mucha armadura, Albatross es muy parecido tambien, ya que a nivel 6 aprende Tank Heal, por lo cual puede ser un tanque perfecto para batallas con muy poco mana o con Equalizer, ya que se cura a si mismo. Kelp Initiate es muy versatil para combinar gracias a Triage, puede conformar una alineacion de curacion total y por ultimo tenemos a Baakjira, el tanque perfecto si lo combinas con una carta que tenga la habilidad Weapon's Training, que en agua tenemos al potente Kulu Mastermind, ralentiza, tiene Void y aumenta la vida de tus cartas, y hablando de vida, esta carta tiene demasiada vida, sobre todo tomando en cuenta que cuesta solo 6 de mana.
In this splinter we have no more and no less than four differents cards available to use with this characteristics, being the third splinter in the whole game with the most cards in this section of no attack cards, on the one hand there is Merdaali Guardian, which for me, is one of the best supports in the entire game. Since level one it has Tank Heal ability, at level five it learns Repair and at level eight it learns Strengthen, making it the perfect support for cards with a lot of life and/or a lot of armor. Albatross is very similar too, since at level 6 it learns Tank Heal, so it can be a perfect tank for battles with very little mana or with Equalizer, since it heals itself. Kelp Initiate is very versatile to combine thanks to Triage, it can form a total healing lineup and finally we have Baakjira, the perfect tank if you combine it with a card that has the Weapon's Training ability, which in water we have the powerful Kulu Mastermind, slows down, has Void and increases the life of your cards, and speaking of life, this card has too much life, especially considering that it only costs six mana points.
Aqui de nuevo tenemos solo dos cartas disponibles, de Epona ya hable en mi anterior post y no me queda nada que decir sobre ella, ademas de que es una carta excelente en este juego, por otra parte tenemos a Failed Summoner, una carta muy potente para hacerle counter a alineaciones m谩gicas pero que tambi茅n tiene Demoralize con lo cual es counter para ataque Melee e invocadores que aumentan ese ataque y por ultimo, aprende Strengthen en diamante, con lo cual se vuelve soporte para todo tipo de alineaciones, una carta espectacular que sirve para todo por tan solo dos puntos de mana.
Here again we only have two cards available on the whole game, I already talked about the excellent potential that Epona has in my previous post and I have nothing left to say about her, besides the fact that it is an excellent card in this game, on the other hand we have Failed Summoner, a very powerful card to counter magical alignments but it also has Demoralize which is a counter to Melee attacks and summoners that increase that attack and finally, it learns Strengthen in diamond, which becomes support for all types of alignments, a spectacular card that It works for everything for only two mana points.
En el splinter vida tenemos disponibles 4 cartas sin ataque, y ademas este splinter tiene la peculiaridad de haber sido el primero en recibir una carta de este tipo. Pelacor Conjurer es un tanque excelente con Fly, Magic Reflect, Divine Shield y Phase, en cada nivel de juego es muy potente y su costo de mana es muy bajo, eso la ha hecho convertirse en una de las cartas mas usadas en el juego por los jugadores de este splinter, Warrior of Peace es algo parecido pero para mana alto, pues cuesta 7 puntos y cuenta con Demoralize, Headwinds y Silence. Por su parte Truthspeaker combina un bono de armadura con Tank Heal y tambien tiene Cleanse, con lo que puede servir de soporte para cualquier tanque, incluso ella misma, Angel of Light, con Resurrect, Flying, Tank Heal e Inspire termina esta increible lista donde tenemos cuatro cartas que son tan pero tan utiles que podrias utilizarlas en todas las alineaciones que hagas para este splinter y en todas te van a ser de total utilidad, son increibles.
In the life splinter we have four cards available without attack on their stats, and this splinter also has the peculiarity of having been the first in the game to receive a card of this type with Angel of Light. Pelacor Conjurer is an excellent tank for low mana with Fly, Magic Reflect, Divine Shield and Phase abilities and a great speed, at each level of the game it is very powerful and its mana cost is very low, which has made it become one of the most used cards in the game for For players of this splinter, Warrior of Peace is something similar but for high mana, as it costs 7 points and has Demoralize, Headwinds and Silence. For its part, Truthspeaker combines an armor bonus with Tank Heal and also has Cleanse, which can serve as support for any tank, including herself, Angel of Light, with Resurrect, Flying, Tank Heal and Inspire ends this incredible list where We have four cards that are so, so useful that you could use them in all the alignments you make for this splinter and in all of them they will be totally useful, they are incredible.
De nuevo, solo dos cartas componen la alineacion de Muerte para las cartas sin ataque, la primera de ellas es Riftwing, que puede usarse muy bien como tanque y cuyas habilidades estan centradas en esquivar ataques para hacer da帽o de esa forma, asi que aumentar su velocidad es la mejor forma de usarla en batalla, por otro lado tenemos a Shadowy Pressence, de quien hable tambien en mi post anterior, una carta que no es tan brillante hasta que ves sus puntos de vida, bastante altos para una carta que cuesta solamente un punto de mana, ademas con ciertos rulesets como Equalizer si que puede ser una cosa increible gracias justamente al costo de mana que tiene.
Again, only two cards make up the Death splinter lineup for non-attack cards on the game, the first of them is Riftwing, this Chaos Legion common card which can be used very well as a tank on your battles and whose abilities are focused on dodging the enemies attacks to do damage that way with Backfire ability, so increasing its speed points is the best way to use it in battle, on the other hand we have Shadowy Pressence, who I also talked about in my previous post on my blog, a card that is not so brilliant until you see its life points, quite high for a card that costs only a point of mana, also with certain rulesets like Equalizer it can be an incredible thing thanks precisely to the mana cost it has.
Con Void armor, Thorns y Return Fire, Naga Brute empieza a colarse en la lista de las mejores cartas que hay sin ataque en el juego, si lo analizas te daras cuenta de que esta carta puede enfrentarse a cualquier tipo de enemigo y de alguna forma hacerle counter al da帽o recibido, tiene una armadura muy alta y sus habilidades se aprovechan bien de eso, si la combinas bien con cartas que le hagan soporte a la vez que van haciendo da帽o a los enemigos, tendras un equipo muy potente con esta carta. Dragon Spirit por su parte esta pensado para batallas con bajo mana y la verdad es que no es una carta que destaque tanto hasta que tiene disponible su habilidad estrella, que es Redemption, con la que se convierte en el terror de las cartas con poca vida.
With Void armor, Thorns and Return Fire on the ability's list, Naga Brute begins to sneak into the list of the best cards without attack in the whole game, if you analyze it deeply you will realize that this card can face any type of enemy on the game and in some way counter the damage received, it has a very high armor and its abilities take good advantage of that on the battles, if you combine it well with cards that support it while dealing damage to enemies, you will have a very powerful team with this card. And Dragon Spirit, for its part, is designed for battles with low mana and the truth is that it is not a card that stands out so much until it has its star ability available, which is Redemption, with which it becomes the terror of cards with low life points on low mana battles.
Por ultimo tenemos las cartas neutrales, que son las que mas cartas sin ataque tienen en todo el juego con 7. yendo desde el mana 1 hasta los 7 puntos. Chaos Agent ya fue analizado en mi post anterior, asi que iniciare con Gelatinous Cube, una de las cartas mas molestas de enfrentar porque tiene muchisima vida y la habilidad Scavenger, que en niveles altos se combina muy bien con Heal y la hace ser casi inmortal, le sigue Scavo Hireling que con su capacidad de reparar armadura se combina muy bien con las estrategias de ese estilo, muy comunes en el splinter vida por ejemplo, ademas ralentiza en niveles altos y se camufla. Peaceful Giant es muy particular ya que no tiene ninguna habilidad, por lo que compensa eso con una cantidad absurda de vida, llegando a tener 17 puntos en el ultimo nivel, Onyx Sentinel es como Naga Brute, tiene habilidades para hacerle counter a todo tipo de ataque por lo que es un tanque excelente, mismo caso que el de Almo Cambio, que adem谩s de hacer counter a todo, es inmune a efectos negativos, como el veneno, y adem谩s tiene mucha vida y una velocidad incre铆ble, por ultimo tenemos la que para mi es la mejor carta de este estilo, Lord Arianthus, cuesta solo seis puntos de mana y desde nivel 1 tiene Void y Shield, Magic Reflect en nivel 2 y Thorns al nivel 3, 9 puntos de vida en su nivel maximo y si bien su velocidad nunca aumenta, la verdad es que no es necesario que lo haga, porque el potencial real de esta carta esta en su incre铆ble capacidad defensiva.
Finally we have the neutral cards, which are the ones that have the most cards without attack in the entire game with seven. going from mana one to seven points. Chaos Agent was already analyzed in my previous post on my blog, so I will start with Gelatinous Cube, one of the most annoying cards to face and one of the greatest to have on our decks because it has a really lot of life points and the Scavenger ability to grown up the life, which at high levels combines very well with Heal and makes it almost immortal. , is followed by Scavo Hireling, which with its ability to repair armor combines very well with strategies of that style, very common in the life splinter for example, it also slows down at high levels and camouflages itself. Peaceful Giant is very particular since it does not have any abilities, so it compensates for that with an absurd amount of life, reaching 17 points at the last level, Onyx Sentinel is like Naga Brute, it has abilities to counter all types of attack so it is an excellent tank, the same case as Almo Cambio, which in addition to countering everything, is immune to negative effects, such as poison, and also has a lot of life and incredible speed, finally we have the one that For me it is the best card of this style, Lord Arianthus, it costs only six points of mana and from level 1 it has Void and Shield, Magic Reflect at level 2 and Thorns at level 3, 9 life points at its maximum level and although Its speed never increases, the truth is that it is not necessary for it to do so, because the real potential of this card is in its incredible defensive capacity.
Estas cartas, adem谩s de tener un equilibrio muy completo entre utilidad y rareza, son bastante divertidas de jugar por las posibilidades que generan al combinarse as铆 que creen cuando te digo que estas son cartas que deber铆as tener en tu set y si todav铆a no juegas con ellas, te recomiendo mucho que las pruebes para que seas testigo de su incre铆ble versatilidad. Tambien es bueno tomar en cuenta que ahora, gracias a la ultima habilidad introducida en el juego, Weapon's Training, podemos darle a estas cartas el tipo de ataque de esas cartas que poseen esa habilidad, con lo cual todo su potencial se aumenta al maximo y ademas muta, porque la estrategia con la carta pasa a ser completamente diferente al poder tener ataque, por ejemplo, te imaginas un Lord Arianthus que ademas de todas las habilidades que tiene y sus tremendas estadisticas, tenga da帽o magico? eso ahora es posible 隆y las posibilidades son muchas! Tu solo tienes que experimentar con estas estrategias para que aprendas a dominarlas. D茅jame en los comentarios lo que piensas sobre estas cartas y como te han funcionado a ti, muchas gracias por leer mi post, y nos vemos en el siguiente, hasta luego.
These cards, in addition to having a very complete balance between usefulness and rarity, are quite fun to play because of the possibilities they generate when combined, so believe it when I tell you that these are cards that you should have in your set and if you still don't play with them , I highly recommend that you try them to witness their incredible versatility. It is also good to take into account that now, thanks to the latest ability introduced in the game, Weapon's Training, we can give these cards the type of attack of those cards that have that ability, with which all their potential is increased to the maximum and It also mutates, because the strategy with the card becomes completely different from being able to have an attack, for example, can you imagine a Lord Arianthus who, in addition to all the skills he has and his tremendous statistics, has magical damage? That is now possible and the possibilities are many! You just have to experiment with these strategies so that you learn to master them. Leave me in the comments what you think about these cards and how they have worked for you, thank you very much for reading my post, and see you in the next one, see you later.
