Splinterlands - Avians from the Conclave Arcana reward set

Hello everyone, have a nice day and good luck. This time it's the turn of the units with avian bloodline from the conclave arcana reward set; there are 7 in total. I hope you like the wallpaper I made, I think it's beautiful :P

First, let's quickly learn about what Avians are in the Splinterlands lore.

Avians Lore

---

Currently, there are only 11 other avian creatures in Splinterlands.

In the modern format, there are three avians from the rebellion edition and only one from the conclave arcana edition.

In the foundation edition, there are 2 more.

And in the wild format, 5 more avians can be summoned. Four from the chaos legion edition and only one from the beta edition.

Unfortunately, there are currently no archons with the avian bloodline. Perhaps a legendary avian archon will appear in the upcoming conflicts; that would be awesome, because avian creatures look awesome.

Now, let's see if the new avians that can be obtained from rarity draws and loot chests are going to be meta. There are 7 of them, so at least one maybe.

THORNMAW BERSERKER

Thornmaw Berseker at level 2 has the Final Rest ability, which prevents the activacion of all of the unit's abilities that trigger on defeat. At level 4, it gains the Magic Reflect ability, which returns 50% of the damage inflicted to it by magic units. At level 8, it gains the Life Leech ability, which allows it to gain max health based on 50% of the damage it deals. And at max level, it gains the Charge ability, so it can attack from any position.

This avian is one of the best and, in my experience, is meta, since it has the Final Rest ability, which negates the annoying bloodline tribute of the ulund combo. And currently there are only three units with this ability, which is why this card is so good.

IRONWING JUGGERNAUT

Ironwing Juggernaut starts at level 1 with the Weary debilitation, so it has a 10% chance of becoming exhausted at the start of the second round onwards. +10% each following round. If exhausted, this card cannot attack during that round. At level 2, it gains the Charge ability just like its previous avian ally. At level 5, it has the True Strike ability, so its attacks will never miss. And at max level, it has the void armor ability, so magic attacks will damage its armor before its health.

This avian is also very good, for only 3 mana it has incredible stats. That's why it has the weary debilitation, but it's still worth it, since, although if it doesn't attack, it's a good defensive unit, especially in battles with little mana.

TORRENT SNIPER

Torrent Sniper starts at level 1 with the snipe ability, so while in the backline, it will attack the first non-melee enemy unit behind the first position. At level 3, it gains the Painforge ability, which allows it to increase its attack power by 1, each time it is poisoned, burning or hit by an ally. And at level 8, it has the Weaken ability, which reduces the health of all enemies by 1.

I haven't used this card in my battles yet, as I have it at low level, but looking at its stats at the max level, I can say that it's decent. Its painforge ability its the most interesting it has, as it can gain a lot of magic attack power. It already starts with 3 power, so any more would be devastating.

DRAGONFANG LANCER

Dragonfang Lancer starts at level 1 with the Opportunity ability, which allows it, while in the backline, to attack the enemy unit with the lowest health. At level 4, it gains the Reflexes ability, so each enemy unit attack can only hit this target once per round, only the first attack will count, the others will miss. And at level 8, it gains the Mimic ability, which allows it to gain a random ability from an enemy unit at the start of the second round onwards.

I don't like this card very much. Its mimic ability is great, but in my opinion, it's too slow, although it will definitely perform better in battles where only ranged units are allowed.

VOSS

Voss starts at level 1 with the bloodline tribute ability, so upon defeating, it will grant +1 magic attack power to all its magic avian allies and +1 to all stats of all avian allies. At level 2, it has the Void ability, which allows it to take 50% less magic damage. And at level 6, it gains the Magic Reflect ability, just like its avian ally Berserker.

This really like this card, although there aren't many avians with magic attack power (currently 4 more) that can benefit from the bloodline tribute. But with the new modifier that grants all units the shapeshift ability, it becomes very useful.

---

NESSA

Nessa starts at level 1 with the flying and true strike abilities. At level 2, it gains the Pinpoint ability, which guarantees that its sneak allies will never miss an attack. At level 3, it has the Execute ability, so if the target's health is 2 or less after this card attack, Nessa will perform another attack against the same unit. And at level 4, it has the Relentless Strike ability, so its attacks will deal true damage, and will deal 1 extra damage when attacking units with shield, void or forcefield abilities.

In terms of attack power, Nessa is currently the most powerful avian. Without a doubt, it is an aggressive unit thanks to its abilities. I don't have this card yet, but I hope to get one from the chests.

SIRA

Sira starts at level 1 with the camouflage ability, so while in the backline, it cannot be directly attacked (with sneak, snipe or opportunity). At level 2, it gains the Shield Ward ability, which grants the shield ability to the unit in front of it at the start of the battle, allowing the unit to take 50% less damage from physical attacks. At level 3, it has the Deflection Shroud ability, which allows it, also at the start of the battle, to grant its adjacent allies the Deflect ability. And at level 4, it gains the Resurrect ability, which allows it to resurrect an ally per battle. The resurrected ally will have only 1 health, but all its armor.

This legendary avian is clearly a support unit. It not only grants shield to its ally in front, but also deflects to its adjacent allies. And it only costs 4 mana, so in low mana battles, and especially in the little league modifier, this avian will rock.

Avian bloodline is one of my favorite that exist in Splinterlands. They are so cool and, most importantly, you can have one in real life :P
