Hello Everyone! Hope you all are doing amazing and welcome to another #Splinterlands post.
Today I wanted to continue my little card spotlight series, and this time I picked a card that instantly caught my attention because of how tanky it looks.
The card is Warwall Juggernaut.
It is an Epic Water unit, and honestly, it really lives up to the "Juggernaut" part of its name. Just looking at the artwork, you can already tell this thing was made to stand on the frontline and refuse to go down.
After reading through its stats and abilities, I feel like this card has way more potential than I first thought.
𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤
The first thing I noticed was how durable this card looks.
For a 9 mana unit, it comes with:
4 Melee Attack
12 Health
5 Armor
3 Speed
Those are some pretty solid numbers.
It isn't the fastest unit around, but honestly I don't think speed is the main point here. This card is clearly designed to survive while also dealing respectable damage.
It feels like one of those monsters that slowly takes over the battle if your opponent doesn't deal with it quickly.
Reach: Can use melee attacks from the second position.
The first ability is Reach.
This allows the card to attack from the second position instead of only the front.
I actually like Reach units a lot because they give you more flexibility while building your lineup.
If your main tank survives for several rounds, Warwall Juggernaut can still keep attacking from behind and contribute damage without taking every hit immediately.
Armored Strike: If armored, gains a melee attack that deals damage equal to remaining armor.
The second ability is Armored Strike.
This one is really cool.
As long as the unit still has armor remaining, it gains an extra melee attack based on its current armor.
Since this card already starts with 5 Armor, it can become surprisingly dangerous early in the battle.
The longer its armor stays intact, the more pressure it puts on the enemy team.
Painforge: +1 power when damaged by Poisoned or Burning or hit by an ally.
The third ability is Painforge.
Whenever the unit is damaged by Poison, Burning, or even hit by an allied unit, it gains +1 power.
This ability is pretty unique.
It doesn't activate every match, but when the conditions are right, Warwall Juggernaut can slowly become stronger as the battle continues.
I actually enjoy abilities like this because they reward unusual strategies instead of just raw stats.
Amplify: Increases damage of Retaliate, Corrosive Ward, Magic Reflect, Return Fire, and Thorns for all friendly units by 1.
Finally we have Amplify.
This increases the damage dealt by abilities like:
Thorns
Magic Reflect
Return Fire
Corrosive Ward
Retaliate
If you're already building a team around these abilities, Amplify makes the entire lineup stronger instead of only helping one monster.
I think this gives Warwall Juggernaut some nice team utility on top of being a strong frontline fighter.
Personally, I think this card fits best into slower Water teams.
Instead of trying to rush the opponent, it feels like the kind of monster that slowly wears them down.
I'd probably pair it with:
High armor support
Healing units
Repair monsters
Cards that benefit from Amplify
That way it can stay alive longer while the whole team becomes harder to deal with.
There are quite a few things I like about this card.
Very high Health
Strong starting Armor
Reach adds flexibility
Armored Strike gives extra offensive pressure
Amplify helps the whole team
Can become stronger with Painforge
It feels like one of those cards that can do multiple jobs instead of only being a tank.
Of course, no card is perfect.
A few weaknesses I noticed are:
High mana cost means you can't play it every match.
Armored Strike becomes much weaker once the armor is gone.
Painforge depends on specific battle situations.
Magic-heavy teams can still be a problem if the armor disappears quickly.
Still, I don't think these weaknesses are deal breakers.
After spending some time looking over Warwall Juggernaut, I honestly think it's a really solid Epic Water card.
It has the stats to survive, the damage to stay threatening, and abilities that make it useful throughout the fight.
My favorite ability is probably Armored Strike, because it turns all that armor into extra offensive power. Combined with Reach, it can keep dealing damage without needing to stand in the very front immediately.
Amplify is also a really nice bonus since it improves several defensive abilities across your entire team.
Overall, I think Warwall Juggernaut is a card that's worth paying attention to. It might not be the flashiest monster in #Splinterlands, but it looks reliable, durable, and capable of carrying its weight in longer battles.
I'll definitely be hoping to add this one to my collection someday and see how it performs in actual ranked matches.
Anyway thats it for today’s #Splinterlands grind. Please do give your reviews in the comments section below. I would really appreciate it :)
I'll be back with another one soon. So do follow me if you want to stay updated. Till then, Stay Happy and Stay Hydrated.
