The last few weeks, I have been talking about the most relevant or useful cards of the week in my teams. But this time we will talk about 2 cards that are rarely talked about, but have great utility in the water and death elements, these not only have good attacking capabilities, they also have abilities that can complicate the performance of the opponent.
Dark Arborist.
The first creature is Dark Arborist, this magic card of the death element is quite effective in low and high mana teams, since it only consumes 4 mana, even though in basic levels its attack power is low. One of its main attractions is its ability to weaken the opponent with the Demoralize ability. At level 3 he also gets the ability Magic reflect, so he can damage the opponent, as he returns 50% of the magic damage.
Swamp Spitter.
The second important card is Swamp Spitter, is a ranged attack and water element, but this card not only gives us a powerful +3 attack, besides having a shield of protection, but one of its best contributions is its ability (Repair). This gives us resistance in battles, as it can restore the shield of the team's cards, so it is a card that plays a leading role. From level 6 on, she gets the Giant Killer ability, which makes her more powerful when attacking cards with more than 10 mana.
Dark Arborist's mode of use and combat performance.
In the following battle, we will observe the performance of Dark Arborist against a fire/neutral team. I usually use this card in an intermediate position, maybe in position 3, 4 or 5, unless it is a team with few cards, because I can move it to a second position. It is not really a card to be used in the first position, as it has little life, so it should be in an intermediate position where it is less reachable by enemy cards used in the front position and cards with the Sneak ability.
During the battle, it can be seen how Dark Arborist reduces the direct attack of the enemy's cards and also generated attacks that contributed to destroy the opponent.
Swamp Spitter's mode of use and combat performance.
Now we will observe the performance of Swamp Spitter, this ranged attack card I usually use it in the last positions of the team, the huge advantage is that it can regenerate the shield for consecutive rounds, a disadvantage that may affect its use is the attacks in the rear area against Swamp Spitter, as we lose the use of its valuable ability.
In this battle, you can see how Swamp Spitter generated attacks and restored the shield briefly, as it was affected by direct attacks. Even so you can appreciate its characteristics, it becomes more relevant when it can stay longer on the battlefield.
Conclusion.
Undoubtedly these types of cards are important, as they contribute to the attack, but also have effects that strengthen our allies or weaken the opponent, ie, are cards that can have great changes when they are well-used. Moreover, these changes can be even more important when we increase their level, since they can increase the effects in battles.
