Hello, my fellow splinterlands lovers!

I hope you all are doing well in your life and also enjoying the Splinterlands game. As you guys know, I have been writing content on Splinterland's Ability Analysis. A few days ago I discussed about fire & water element monsters who have backfire ability. Today in this post I will discuss about earth, death, dragon & neutral element monsters who have backfire ability.

About https://images.hive.blog/DQmVD2ec8Mki69S2FWuHcQNgcLCk525HeTvpkz7bKXJKTaN/ability_backfire.png Backfire Ability: "If an enemy misses this Monster with an attack, the attacker takes 2 damage." A total of 9 monsters have backfire ability; one is a summoner. Only chaos legion core, reward & riftwatchers edition monsters have this ability atm. It can be good by pairing with dodge, phase, flying & swiftness ability monsters. So let's check out those monsters and find out how good/bad they are on the battlefield.

VENARI KNIFER
