Hello Splinterlands fam!
I hope you all are doing pretty well in your lives and spending an awesome day with your friends and family. For those of you who dedicatedly play splinterlands game in their daily routine, I guess you all are right now putting all of your brain power into the battle arena and trying hard to maintain a good win rate while getting close to your goal. If we take a look at the ongoing ranked season clock, there are only 5 days and 20 hours in our hands before this season meets its end. So, whether you are aiming to collect enough trophies to enter a certain league tier or you want to compete against the top players to secure a seat in the champion leaderboard, I hope you reach there sooner this time, if not already. I would also like to advise you all to try maintaining a healthy battle energy bar, so that you don't end up in a situation where you do not have any energy left when you need it the most. So, all the best, guys and keep pushing and shoving until you reach your goal.
Moving on, let us now take a look at the Frontier mode. This new mode is gaining popularity very fast, and many old and new players are already addicted to this gameplay mode and are continuously playing on a regular basis. Not only that, but with the latest jackpot foundation cards, it is now even more interesting to keep playing every day, because who knows, your next daily reward claim might be hiding a jackpot card. Anyways, looking at my own performance in frontier mode, right now I am playing at the top Gold I league tier with a trophy count of 3,800. I have already completed 2 daily missions today, and if I find free time again, I will try to finish the last one as well. Till now, I have been able to collect only 48 entries for the upcoming frontier raffle, which is about to end in next 1 day and 7 hours only. Let’s see if I can gather some more raffle entries before the time ends, and increase my chance a little bit more.
Talking about the new Foundation edition Jackpot cards, I have earned a total of 3 jackpot cards, but all of them are of the same card called Aimee Whisperwind, the water element melee attacking monster card, which is common in rarity and the best feature of this card is its opportunity. I only got the regular foils for all of them, but even regular foil cards are selling over 0.50$ per cc. There are 3 more cards in the jackpot bunch, and let’s hope next time, I get my hands on a rarer type or better foil card.
Now, as you can see from the screenshots above, where I have shared the 3 foundation packs that I won from yesterday’s missions and opened all of them without any further ado. The best card that I received is the gold foil epic Lenore Nevermore, which is an expensive card on the market, and also, I received a gold foil common, a legendary, 2 rares, including 1 archon, the Aurelia from earth element, and the rest are common cards.
Aranduriel
Moving forward, let’s now come to the main part of this part, as today, I will be talking about another amazing Conclave Arcana card with you all. As you have already seen in the thumbnail above, today I will be discussing about the Aranduriel. So, if you are interested in knowing more about this monster, then let’s take a dive without any further ado.
The Aranduriel is a monster type card that was first seen in the game with launch of the latest conclave Arcana core edition card-set. This monster belongs to the Dragon element and it comes from the Elf bloodline. The rarity of this card is Epic, so it requires a total of 46 cc cards to upgrade this monster to its max level. To use this monster card in battles, you need to spend 6 mana. Ideally, you can see this card when playing a medium to high mana limit. The attack type of this monster is a ranged attack, and apart from a good attack power at high health and a decent speed, this monster also features 4 abilities at its max level, which I am going to talk about later in this post. Let us now take a further look at this monster’s league wise stats and abilities below to find out more.
BRONZE
At level 2, this monster possesses pretty good stats, which consist of 3 ranged attack power at 2 speed with 5 health. Not only that, but it also gets 2 abilities - the first one called Sneak, which it got from its initial level and then at this level, it gets another ability called Painforge.
SNEAK - Targets the enemy unit in the last position.
PAINFORGE - +1 power when damaged by poisoned or burning or hit by an ally.
SILVER
When you upgrade this monster to level 3, it receives an increased attack stat and now shows 4 ranged attack power at 2 speed with 5 health. Though it does not get any new abilities in this level, its increased attack power will surely help you to take down enemy units faster.
GOLD
As this monster gets upgraded further and reaches level 5, it gets an increased stat of 4 ranged attack power at 3 speed with 6 health. Apart from that, it also receives a new ability at this level, which is called the Life Leech.
LIFE LEECH - Increase health and max health by 50% of damage dealt (rounded up).
DIAMOND / CHAMPION
Finally, when you upgrade this monster to its max level of 6, it possesses further increased stats, that consists of 4 ranged attack power at 3 speed with 7 health. Not only that, but it also gets another ability at its max level, which is called Immunity.
IMMUNITY - Provides immunity to magic debuffs and cripple.
Last but not least, as you can clearly see, this monster is made to be a rear position card and with its deadly range attacks alone, it will bring great harm to the opponent. The abilities on top of that make this monster even more powerful, especially the sneak ability, which allows it to attack rear cards and also the Life Leech ability, which increases its health if it damages any enemy’s health. So, overall, it's a great card and I think it should be in your arsenal if you are competitively playing the game. What do you think?
