After this week's brawl, a particular Gladiator card has captured my attention and I want to talk about it. I will be fighting with more gladiator cards and talking about them in the future but today, I want us to take a look at MARISOL CONTUMA of the Life splinter.
MARISOL CONTUMA!
I don't know how long I've hard this card but after watching her perform in two brawl battles, I am super impressed by it. Let's look at the stats;
I have said in the past that I love my Reach monsters. Well, this card right here is a great reach monster considering her high speed and massive damage at just level 1. She also makes a great secondary tank with the toughness and high health. The bloodlust just makes this monster much more deadly.
I really wish I could use this monster at level 4 with the inspire but level 1 is ok for silver league as I have come to realize.
Let's check out the two brawl battles that I used this card in;

The Battle
In this battle, there was great synergy all round the team but the focus is on Marisol. This monster starts in the second position but when Uriel gets taken out, he becomes the tank and proves to be a hard one to kill. Altogether, she killed five times which includes Desert Dragon twice, Carnage Titan, River Hellondale and Isgald Vorst. These kills brought her stats to insane levels as shown below;
Here's the link to the battle
After watching this card battle, it has become one of my favorite Gladiator cards - at least, among the ones I have. The fact that she's so powerful at just level 1 is really impressive. I have Quora Towershead, which people say is one of the best cards, and I think Marisol Contuma may just be able to match her especially when played with Rathe's Void Armor buff.
Second Battle
In the second battle, the enemy used a level 2 Corsair Bosun (a riftwatchers life card with reach) while I used Marisol at level 1.
Mere looking at the stats of the two reach monsters, you will most likely say that Marisol is more impressive especially considering Rathe's buffs. It was pretty cool when Marisol took out Corsair Bosun.
Of course, if the lineup was different I may not have won this battle. Click here to watch it.
Final Words
Marisol Contuma is a really impressive card and I can't believe I'm just figuring that out. I am sure there are other great Gladiator cards and I will talk about many of them in the future.
That's All For Today, Warrior!
