Hello fellow Splinteralkers !
Have you been baited by my new click bait tittle ? This is what takes me the longest to write the article !
More seriously, today I would like to share with you my tought concerning 3 neutral cards that are quite underrated, in my opinion, and I will explain you why ! Of course, it's only based on my little experience in silver / gold, and underrated because I find that we don't come across them often enough at this level !
Of course, this is not a financial advice, and I have no interest to highligh those cards in particular, I do not have a copy of any of them !
And at this moment, you'll think "Why this guy Is telling us some cards are underrated by didn't buy few copies before telling us, he's a bit stupid". Answer could be yes
but my point is also about renting and I want to share some tought with you !
Let's start !
Raging impalers ! (I only consider it level 1-4 here)
Pros :
- Neutral card, usable in a majority of battle, very useful for people like me, around silver/gold, which are not able to be "competitive" in all the elements
- His good amount of HP considering his cost ! except some exceptions, as the unique Flesh Golem, this guy have a very decent base pool of HP, which is very useful and more reliable than armor in general (and useful when poison comes) !
- both of these skills are good and complement each other ! Enrage + piercing, he become qucikly a dangerous card !
- His versatile ! This is the point at the end, this card are very versatile and, in my opinion, too little known by players at this level (but my opinion could be garbage)
Cons :
- His lack of capacities to hit from behind. Obviously, you can't use it each game, but think about him with the differents rules helping melee to hit from everywhere ?
Tortisian chief (mostly level 2)
Pros :
- Neutral card, usable in a majority of battle, very useful for people like me, around silver/gold, which are not able to be "competitive" in all the elements (yes it's a copy and paste, there are no small savings)
- 5 mana ! This is not so much for a 2/2 MAGIC ! You can diversify your type of damages with him very easily. Has magic, he don't suffer from attack in first position, unlike distance cards
- 6 HP, again, quite reliable, can probably handle 2-3 hits at this level (silver/gold). he can also be consider has a "tank" to handle some sniper card, and protect your glass canon range one behind
Cons :
- No abilities before the level 4, where he become quite expensive to rent/buy
- Pretty slow card, but magic attack can't miss, but he will be overtaken by speed
Centaur (level 4)
Pros :
- Neutral card, usable in a majority of battle, very useful for people like me, around silver/gold, which are not able to be "competitive" in all the elements (another 3rd time saved, too bad I'm ruining it by writing this extra crap)
- Relatively fast card with 4 speed, he will probably hit at least one time per battle, even with an army of sneaky people (but more if you place it well)
- 2 range damages with snipe, combine with another sniper card (of your played element), could be very strong to reach the backline behind the tank (or to reach the hidden ruler of the sea level 3 who would have destroyed your team without it, some traumas)
Cons :
- Have to be carefuly place in your team, has a ranged card
- Will become weak around gold 2/1
As always, I will be very happy to discuss with more experienced players, and glad if this post leads to a discussion and different opinions that would enlighten the debate !
Your humble servant,
Me
