Most of the summoners that we play with are rare. When we get them up to level 3 we can pair them with level 4 commons, level 3 rares, level 2 epics and level 2 legendary monsters. It's interesting that you can't go any higher with epic monsters than you did with level 2 rare summoners, so you won't see any epic monsters on this list, but at level 3 you can start playing level 2 legendary monsters and some of those are incredible.
I think these are some of the most impactful neutral monsters to start leveling up from Rebellion if you happen to have some level 3 rare summoners to pair them with. These upgrades will also work if you have level 2 legendary summoners or level 4 common summoners.
At level 3 Drybone Bowdog picks up a second ranged attack damage.
At level 3 Grimbardun Smith picks up the void ability and becomes a fantastic tank. If you watch some of the bigger names streaming splinterlands content you'll see that Grimbardun Smith is a favorite for several of them.
I don't think Nalara Geinek adds much to any of your lineups at level 1. When you get to level 2 Geinek picks up the silence ability and becomes a fantastic auto include for almost all wands out situations.
Mantaroth is sort of the opposite situation. At level 1 this is a great tank that can take a beating and give a beating. True strike at level 2 is a nice addition, but won't be my first priority at Mantaroth's current price point.
Most legendary monsters pick up another ability at level 2, some of those abilities are more impactful than others.
When picking out new cards to level up, it's important to consider whether you'll be playing in modern or wild format. All of the cards that I discussed in today's post are legal in modern. If you start to level these cards up remember that they will revert to a lower level if you play them with a rare summoner at level 1 or 2, or even a level 1 legendary summoner.
I would love to hear what some of your favorite cards are to level up. I'll keep pointing out the ones I can. Another great place to find them is the cards that you get beat by on the battlefield.
