Monster abilities are very important in Splinterlands and in my opinion the Bloodlust ability is the best of all because it allows the monster to become more powerful during battles.
In the beginning, Bloodlust was exclusive to monsters from the Gladiator edition, all of them have this ability. After the Chaos Legion edition was released, new monsters started to appear with Bloodlust and Grum Flameblade was the first of them.
Grum Flameblade is an extremely powerful tank card, it has a powerful attack and is a great card since it has a lot of health and armor, it is certainly one of my main choices in the Fire deck to defend in the first position.
Grum Flameblade is a monster with melee attack and it has 4 abilities: Bloodlust, Void Armor, Void and Giant Killer.
With the Bloodlust ability, Grum Flameblade will gain +1 to all of his stats when he defeats an enemy monster, meaning he will gain +1 attack, +1 speed, +1 health, and +1 armor. This ability is only activated when Grum Flameblade deals the final blow to the enemy monster.
With the Void Armor ability, Grum Flameblade's armor will be able to block magical attacks, meaning that magical attacks will only be able to cause damage to Grum Flameblade's health when his armor is destroyed.
With the Void ability, Grum Flameblade will only receive half the damage against magical attacks.
With the Giant Killer ability, Grum Flameblade will cause double damage against monsters that have 10 or more mana.
To demonstrate how powerful the Bloodlust ability is, I will use the battle below as an example.
See the Battle
This isn't the best example of a battle with the Bloodlust ability, but if it weren't for it, I would have been defeated, not victorious. This is a battle that happened in Brawls on a Gold Foil Fray, and since I didn't get any Gold Foil gladiator cards yet, I had to use the cards I had and decided that Grum Flameblood would be the best choice for the battle since my opponent would probably use Gladiator cards in this battle, and I was right since he had Katrelba Gobson.
During most of the battle, the Bloodlust ability was not useful because Grum Flameblood was unable to land the final blow on my opponent's monsters, but he is still a great choice because he has a large amount of health and armor, so even if I can't make him more powerful with the Bloodlust ability, my opponent will still have a great deal of difficulty defeating him.
The most important part of the battle was when Grum Flameblood had to face Katrelba Gobson at the end.
My Grum Flameblade only had 3 health, but he managed to land the final blow on my opponent's Thanalorian Blade monster and activated the Bloodlust ability, so Grum Flameblood now has 7 attack, 2 speed, 4 health, and 1 armor. The big difference was that he gained +1 armor and +1 health because he was able to resist Katrelba Gobson's attacks and defeat her.
In this battle, choosing Grum Flameblade was the difference between victory and defeat because if I had chosen any other monster, I would probably have been defeated.
At the end of the battle, the outcome was decided by a single attack and if I hadn't gained the bonuses from the bloodlust ability, my opponent would have defeated me.
