cards in splinterlands have several interesting attributes, it has life, speed, shield (in some cards) and we have 'melee' this card will only attack if it is in first position. (when you play splinterlands you select cards and place them in a row... if they kill you the main card follows the next card but I will explain the battle positions in another post.

​

The cards to summon them in the game need a certain amount of mana, for example to summon the card in the first image you need 1 mana but to summon this card you need 6 mana! this depends on how powerful the card is, each card has its cost in Mana! but some cards can attack with magic! this magic allows this card to attack from any position and attacks directly to life, ignoring the shield that the rival card may have... also some cards will have special attributes, for example, when this card attacks, it heals the card that is in the first position!

There are also cards that use arrows and these cards can attack from last position but these arrows do hit the shield, it is not like magic that ignores the shield, another disadvantage that arrows have is that if they are in the first position they cannot attack. .. but they are also very powerful and people who know how to use these cards can be very annoying and surprise you a lot.

I hope you have been able to better understand how the splinterlands cards work ✌️😉
