Hello Splinterlands summoners and welcome back to my blog!
The three new cards are now available in the voucher shop. The common card, Grayhammer Painsmith can be bought for twenty five vouchers each. Rare Conjurer's Hubris cost one hundred vouchers while the legendary Lorn cost one thousand fifty vochers.
Of the three cards, I like Conjurer's Hubris best but I'll need five copies to level him up to two where he is optimal at Silver League. In today's post, let's do a deep dive in Conjurer Hubris's lore, his role in battle and possible combos. I will also show a battle where he is used effectively.
Lore
Conjurer Yeva summoned a Fire and Water elemental in a hurry while she was being chased by Conclave Arcana's mercenaries. Both elementals combined into this screaming nightmare that destroys anything in its path.
Stats and Abilities
The Conjurer's Hubris is a dual splinter Fire and Water, eleven mana card. At maxed level, it deals three magic and melee damage. It also has seven health and four speed. It has four offensive abilities in its arsenal that makes it a fearsome damage dealer. It has Apex Strike that targets the enemy unit with highest power. It also enables the Conjurer's Hubris to attack with melee from any position. It has Stun, Ambush and Expose. All useful offensive abilities.
I can only afford one card that holds me back from buying it. It's a great card at level two where it gains the Apex Strike ability but it costs a lot. Silver League players who have the budget will want this card at level four where it gains the Stun ability.
Role in Battle and Combos
The Conjurer's Hubris will be one of team's damage dealers. Its dual attack and abilities make it an effective offensive weapon. To maximize its potential, it can be paired with archons and units that further buffs its stats and abilities.
It can be great in rulesets like Wands Out or Up Close & Personal where its dual attack give it a definite advantage over other cards.
Loving the Moo
Loving the Moo grants Elementals like Conjurer's Hubris the Poison ability, adding another offense to its arsenal. Loving the Moo can also give it the Blast ability that will work well with its Apex Strike to maximize the splash damage.
Cards with Inspire Ability
Conjurer's Hubris melee attack can be buffed by units with Inspire ability. There are plenty of them in the Conclave Arcana set but the most useful are the likes of Portly Cannoneer, Ashveil Tactician and Arcane Skinwalker where the ability is gained at early levels. Cards like Lady Stealthfire gain the ability at later levels and is not advised. There are legendary cards like Nyasha Mbalika and Taye Loreswift that has the ability but they cost more than the other cards.
Featured Battle
The battle occured in the high level Gold League. Player heureux had a level two Conjurer's Hubris on his team. His archon was Loving the Moo as I wrote above has great synergy with elementals. He had a dual tank combo from the Escalation set that deals huge damage. He also had Arcane Skinwalker that has the Inspire ability. He gave the Blast and Magic Reflect abilities to Conjurer's Hubris who was his main damage dealer in this battle.
His enemy had Nidhoggr archon and great dragon, Rage in his team. The team was strong and composed of magic damage dealers. His enemy was faster and deals more damage per round. It was a close battle that heureux managed to win.
