This is my first Rare card from the Conclave Arcana set that I'm levelling up. I've previously levelled two other cards from this set, but both were Common cards. I often use this Rare Saltwraith Bulkhead card as a tank in my battles, and this card, while in first place, acts as a strong bulwark for the entire team—a wall that not only defends its team from the enemy but also deals heavy damage to them with its high attack power and super speed. Last season, this card was even more massive with Captain Frankie. Its Tideborn bloodline falls within Captain Frankie's supportive bloodline. With Captain Frankie's Inspire ability, I saw this card's attack power increase to 8 melee, after which I only lost Rare battles. However, you shouldn't overlook its Weary ability, which exhausts the card by performing attacks at a rate of 10% from the first round, which increases by 10% each round.
In the image above, the red text indicates that I am attempting to combine an Unbound card with a Soulbound card. This will make the final card Soulbound again. So, it's basically asking me to check before completing the combine operation. And that's because 2 out of the 5 copies I have are Unbound and 3 are soulbound, and combining them will result in a level 2 Soulbound card, but that doesn't matter to me right now because I want to upgrade as many of my cards as possible to the highest levels. The higher the level of cards you play battles with, the more improved rewards you get. So, battles with higher-level cards will earn me higher glints, merits, and sps, and anyway, I can unbound this card later with the help of a rare scroll.
By upgrading from Level 1 to Level 2, the already good health of this card has increased by +1, which may not seem like a big change on the face of it, but there is no problem in it because this card already had very amazing stats and after upgrading to Level 3, an amazing ability will be added to it named Oppress, which will give this card the power to do double damage to no-attack cards and this double damage will also have to be faced by those no-attack cards which have got Weapon Training. Now, in 1 situation, imagine this card doing a double attack of its 4 melee attack power, i.e. 8 melee attack and imagine the damage caused by this card's attack if you have Captain Frankie, and you have increased the attack power of this card to 8 melee with the help of Frankie's Inspire ability and you have this card with its Level 3 Oppress ability. If you don't understand then let me tell you that in that situation, this card will be able to attack the no-attack card up to 16 melee. Although even then the Weary ability of this card can act as an obstacle, but mostly this card performs attacks for 1 to 2 rounds, and if that happens, then the echo of that attack will be remembered by the enemy.
Splinterlands isn't an easy place, but that's what makes it even more fun. A perfect strategy takes into account many factors, including stats, abilities, rulesets, mana caps, and more. That's why it's even more important to consider all these factors when developing a strategy. Add good cards to your deck, but also work on improving your strategies, and strive to win as many battles as possible!🔥
