Dhampir Infiltrator introduction and strategy guide + SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge!
This weeks is all about dragons again, so let's look at the utility of one of the new Reward cards.
Dhampir Inflitrator
Overview
I have to admit, I like to play stealth teams and mainly in bronze I saw only a few teams, which create defenses against it (though it is not a hard prepare for it). Partially this is the reason why it can be easier to fight bots...
So this card has for my strategies a lot of bonuses:
- Cheap - only 4 mana
Stealth - only a few players/bots defend against it in bronze and silver leagues
Double strike - what is better then a stealth attack? Two stealth attacks :D
On higher levels:
| Level | Major Upgrade |
|---|---|
| 4 | +1 extra melee damage |
| 5 |  Cripple with each successful attack! |
| 8 |  Affliction (has a 50% chance to work, but we do 2 attacks each round) |
The down sides of this card is it's low melee damage, speed and health. So opportunity cards like Deeplurker can destroy this card before it's first turn.
Synergies
So how can we improve this card with synergies?
Abilities
| Type | Property | Reason | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Defense | Creature with Low Health | Creatures, which have a lower health, or equal health but are in front of the Dhampir Inquisitor will be targeted by opportunity attacks first | i.e. Low level Chaos Agent, Albatross or Hardy Fish... |
| Defense | Cards with Protect  | These card will add +2 shield to the Dhampir Infiltrator, providing an additional layer of defense | Truthspeaker, Venari Wavesmith, Queen Mycelia... |
| Defense | Cards with Taunt  | These cards will attract damage away from all other creatures. Warning: To avoid blast attacks, don't put Dhampir Infiltrator next to the creature in the front or the creature with taunt! | Mycelic Slipspawn, Shieldbearer, Wave Brood... |
| Attack | Cards with Inspire  | These cards increase the melee damage of all cards including Dhampir Infiltrator : 2*(1+1)=4 damage/round from a 4 mana card! | Demented Shark and Silvershield Knight have this ability on level 1 |
Summoners
Now let's look at which summoners could improve the skillset of Dhampir Infiltrator:
| Image | Name | Advantage from using this Summoner |
|---|---|---|
 | Drake of Arnak | Helps with the defence site of the card, providing 1 shield |
 | Daria Dragonscale | Helps on the attack side - Gives +1 damage to the card, which can be improved even more with Inspire cards. This makes Dhampir infiltrator an extremely dangerous card. This summoner is on level 1 costs at around 1 DEC currently to rent |
 | Archmage Arius | The same as Daria Dragonscale, but increases the stats for every damage type in the team, and thus is much more expensive to rent |
Favorite rulesets
| Icon | Ruleset | Reason |
|---|---|---|
 | Armored Up | Gives that additional armor we were talking about |
 | Equalizer | Improves the health of the card immensely |
 | Holy Protection | Gives again that additional protection against damage, also with its double strike it cancels out holy shield on an enemy and bring in a clean hit afterwards! |
 | Little League | With 4 mana and double strike it is a must have in these fights |
Now lets check out a fight
Ruleset:
- 25 Mana
- Water, Earth, Life, Death and Dragon allowed
- Little League ruleset
As mentioned earlier, this card excels in little league fight. In the above example, it cuts through the back of the enemy line like through butter.
I added Time mage for her Slow ability. This was a great choice, as it prevented multiple cards on the enemy team to attack first!
I have hoped, that Celestial Harpy would protect me in the back while dodging attacks with it's flying ability, but luck was not on my side.
In the front I had a tank and a card with reach, which were both strengthened by my Summoner.

I'm gonna have to give Dhampir Infiltrator a try, since I'm it in more and more lineups as time goes on. The extra attack is definitely appealing!

I'm learning more about Infiltrator with each article I'm reading today. Good read. Sharing this on https://twitter.com/PraetoriaDigest.
Thanks for sharing! - @mango-juice
a good quality post with a silly spelling mistake at it's thumbnail 😉
Hey @mango-juice, thanks for the upvote. I know I run into the chance that I might loose it, but I would like to query why I did not receive a better curation and what could I do to improve my content. It is fun to create such blogposts, but the reward makes it easier to take out time for it from my everyday activities.
Just to clarify, I put quite a lot of time and thought in the content, which goes through the strengths, weaknesses of the card + offers even tactics to use it in fights with card synergies to look at. I also received some positive feedback on upvotes and comments. In my past experiences from the last 2 weeks with steemmonsters upvotes I was expecting a much higher reward (just by comparing it to), as that content was shorter and less detailed.
Can you please advice if this is a standard upvote for such content from now on, and how I could improve my content to receive better curation in the future? Is there maybe any guide on top of the description on how to create "quality" content?
PS: And thanks for noticing the typo in the thumbnail, I have updated it! :)
First of all, there is no Standard upvote in splinterlands curation.. it depends on many things like the word count (excluding header footer, and lore section) l, quality, uniqueness etc and also depends upon current ECR and curator’s judgement. For your post, I liked the markup decoration but you shared almost nothing about the actual gameplay.
Have a great day 👍
After using it for a while it has become my favorite for the Sneak combo with the +1 dragon summoner (I won't remember the name now lol).
Nice post.
