Waka Spiritblade and its potential for $2000 or more.

In this post I will talk about the Summoner Waka Spiritblade and say if it really is so useful for battles to have such a high value.

For those who don't know Waka Spiritblade is a promotional letter created to celebrate the partnership between Splinterlands and North American rapper Waka Flocka Flame, but I won't talk about this rapper because my focus in this post is on the usefulness of the Waka Spiritblade card in splinterlands.

Waka Spiritblade is a legendary summoner of the death deck and in total there are 1000 cards of it, 960 of which are regular cards and 40 cards are golden and all cards are at maximum level, in the case of a legendary card it is level 4, so there is no Waka Spiritblade of level 3, 2 or 1, only level 4 and that influences its value, as well as the fact that it is a promotional card to celebrate the partnership with someone famous and there is also another use for it outside of splinterlands but I'll save that for the end of this post, now let's get to the part of its usefulness in splinterlands battlegrounds.

  • Usefulness in Battle

imag 2.jpg

As you can see its mana cost is only 3 and it has only one use in battle and that is granting the Poison ability to all your cards on the field, I know you might be thinking that it's too little and that maybe you expected it more of him, but I can tell you that this is an incredible ability for your cards to have because it will do a lot of damage to the enemy, especially if your cards have abilities like Sneak, Snipe or Opportunity and even battle rules that grant these abilities because so Poison becomes even stronger as it will spread more in battle.

Poison is an ability that makes the card that has it have a 50% chance to apply this effect when it attacks an enemy card and does 2 damage to that card at the end of the round and as all your cards will have this ability then it's almost certain that the enemy card will take this damage, plus this ability is even more amazing because it ignores the shield of enemy cards and deals damage directly to their health and abilities like Void or Shield that reduce the damage taken from cards with attack magic ( Void ) and melee/ranged cards ( Shield ) do not affect Poison damage so if the enemy card is hit by this effect it will take 2 damage unless the enemy card has Immunity ability which makes it immune to negative statuses like Poison.

Now imagine if your cards have the abilities I mentioned before ( Sneak, Snipe or Opportunity ), then Poison will be applied to several cards during the round and will cause even more damage and even if it's a 50% chance, believe me that most of the time will be in your favor and I can say this from my own experience because the frequency that is applied seems to be higher than that so you don't have to worry too much about the percentage, another important factor in Waka Spiritblade is its mana cost that it's only 3 and that's a very good thing because it's extremely low and you can use it in low mana battles with no problem and it still fits the Little League rule where you can only use cards with a mana cost of 4 or less and he becomes very strong in this rule because cards with that cost are not usually strong and are easier to defeat, so having those 2 more damage that poison does will make a lot of difference in battles.

Particularly I consider him a very strong summoner and useful for battles, but each person has their own strategy and my role with this post is just to show you a point of view about the card and if you are interested in testing it I believe that you won't regret it, especially when your rental cost is currently only 80~90 dec so it's a low cost for an experience, but now let's talk in financial terms which is also an important point in splinterlands.

As I mentioned before it is a Promo edition card, but it does not provide the amount of power that the other cards of this edition provide, the amount of its power is equivalent to a card from the chaos legion edition, which would be 5,775 in this case of a level 4 legendary card and this is something important to mention because it influences the value of the card since even its utility is the most important factor, the power of a card is also something important in the view of an investor/player so that will affect your price.

I also mentioned before about another usefulness in splinterlands which is the fact that the Waka Spiritblade card can also be used as an augmented reality NFT in Snapchat and this will also add value to this NFT because not only splinterlands players will want to have it but also the rapper's fans and that can increase the demand for her.

  • PRICE

Now let's take a look at the Waka Spiritblade graphic through Peakmonster to see what it tells us.

The image above shows the weekly chart and as you can see Waka Spiritblade has remained on average at the same value for a long time and this is due to the fact that not many cards have been sold lately and this is common since it is a card that it doesn't cost cheap and it also doesn't have many cards available and these factors influence the amount of sales of the card, but I've been watching it since its launch and it doesn't go below $1500 so we can consider this a point of support for it currently, and lately he tries to hold on to values like $1500~$1600, but I believe he has even greater potential than that and his value goes back to $2000 or more in the future.

This other image already shows its monthly chart and its highest value was around $2200 and since then it has been falling, but never below $1500 so if you are looking for a good buying opportunity try to do it close to that value, but of course that every investment has its risk so keep that in mind.

But even in the fall I still believe in this card and that it can recover and still reach values greater than $2200 since it is not just a card to have in your collection because it is limited but also because it is an incredible card for your battles and that It will give you many victories.

This is my opinion about my card and if you have anything else to mention then please leave it in the comments so that this post becomes even more complete and we can also exchange ideas about this incredible letter. Now I close this post and leave the story about Waka Spiritblade for you to read if you are interested.

Waka is from a rare tribe of magical people known as Malphurs. They decorate their bodies with intricate tattoos and the bones of creatures they hunted in the swamps and forests as children. The greatest and most powerful Malphurs from each family have earned the right to wear the skull of their ancestor. This great honor further enhances their magical strength, imbuing the wearer with devastating abilities.

Waka was known throughout Praetoria as one of the greatest summoners the world had ever seen. Tens of thousands of people flocked to the arenas to see this battle mage compete and he never failed to entertain them. He became so adept at his art that he was able to stun the crowds into silence with his theatrics, drawing out battles longer than necessary, and even making it appear that he might lose, only for him to turn the tides and come back with a resounding victory. The people loved him for it, and he would often move amongst them when he was done, handing over his winnings to the poor and needy. And then, one summer’s day, he suddenly vanished, leaving it all behind. There was much talk and speculation as to where he had gone and why, but always his name remained at the forefront of the people’s minds.

It was only many decades later, when the Chaos Legion had invaded, that Waka was seen again, coming down from the Feral Mountains in the Wild Northeast, by a small group of refugees fleeing the fighting. He was wearing a simple robe and walked with a tall staff. He beckoned the group to follow him back into the hills and led them to a hidden canyon. Walking through a narrow pass and onto a small plateau, the people beheld a great farmstead in the lush lands below. There were fields and terraced wetlands embedded within the slopes, all irrigated from the small river than ran through the canyon, and there were long huts, enough to house many villages worth of people. It was almost as though Waka knew the day would come that the people would need to be saved.

Overtime, the community grew, and Waka gathered any lost souls he could find, bringing them to the sanctuary of hope he had created. But deep down he knew it wasn’t enough and that one day he would have to take up his old mantle and face the threat of the Chaos Legion head on, before they destroyed his entire world.
Waka made his way to the small hamlet, nestled between the Fanged Lakes. He pulled a cart along behind him, full of a variety of fruits and vegetables. When the children saw him coming, they called out and whooped with joy, running towards him and dancing around his legs as he entered the homestead. He left them to empty the wares as he sought the village elder, determined to convince him that the people should accompany Waka back into the hills and to safety. The elder was adamant, though, that his people would stay in the homes of their ancestors and continue to fish the lakes, regardless of the danger.

Waka feasted with them that night, sharing some of his food and speaking of the old days. When he had finished, he bid them goodnight and moved into the darkness to meditate. The chill wind whipped about him, catching his robe with its icy fingers. He could hear the villagers still talking by the fire, telling tales of his battles in the arenas to the children that were sat upon their parent’s laps. Each tale the old folk told, brought hushed gasps or excited squeals from the children, until sleep finally took them. Waka remained impassive, waiting in the frigid cold of night, searching for the curious presence that lurked just beyond the reach of where his quiet contemplations had taken him. Whatever it was, it teased at his curiosity but managed to remain elusive, however far he pushed his mind in search of it. Eventually, he conceded to the mystery of it all and made a bed beneath the cover of his cart. His stomach was full and his heart glad to have shared the evening with friends, that was all that truly mattered.

It was morning when he awoke, a piercing scream shattering the comfort of his dreams as he rolled out from beneath the cart. His golden medallion shifted as he moved, the twin skulls leering up at him, caught in their petrified rictus. He could feel it pulsating on his chest, heat emanating from within. Chaos Legion soldiers were standing nearby, their weapons drawn. A strange creature in a dark cloak, with half its face ghostly pale, was standing over the elder. It seemed to tug at loose wisps of energy that cavorted between them, as though it was pulling the life force from the elder’s body. The elder lay helpless upon the ground, his arms flailing weakly at the air, whilst his breath gurgled and body shuddered in pain.

Waka slowly found his feet, not taking his eyes from the wide array of weaponry that bristled about him. He felt a familiar spark glimmer inside, an old friend flickering back to life. Raw energy radiated from within, coursing through his body and prickling along his arms like pins and needles.

“Leave him alone!” he called out.

The soldiers turned at the sound of his voice and the strange creature croaked a single word, releasing the elder from the hold it had taken. It continued to whisper in a foreign tongue as it moved, the syllables dry and hoarse. Waka felt some of his power being drawn away from him, trickling from the mouths of his twin skulls, inexorably sucked toward this evil, cloaked monster. He smiled. If the creature wanted to take the power from his medallion, who was he to refuse? After all, he had become known as ‘The Provider’ amongst his people. Lifting his arms to the morning sun, Waka flicked his fingers, casting a simple spell and releasing his hold on the energy within, letting it fill the monster.

The creature convulsed violently, falling to its knees where its struggles became even more intense, clawing at its face and mewling in pain.

“What are you doing to him?!” a soldier cried. “Stop it, or you’re a dead man!”

Waka moved his arms through a concentric pattern and let go of the final barrier, casting the magic from him like a cascading waterfall. The creature went rigid, as though it had been struck by a bolt of lightning. A long screech ripped through the tranquility of the dawn and frightened a group of birds into the sky from a nearby tree. The skin on the creature’s arms bubbled and hissed, the caustic overdose of mana burning it from the inside like a poison.

“Kill him!” the soldier frantically ordered. The other warriors edged towards Waka, the uncertainty slowing their advance as fear flashed across their eyes.

Silver wisps of magic snaked about Waka’s arms. Tinged with blue, the magic manifested itself into two lethal spirit blades; swords of mana that whispered at the air as they moved. Waka dropped into a fighting stance and thrust his arms through a series of well-practiced forms, cutting devastating fractures through the fabric of life before him. Soldiers fell like wheat before the scythe. Some clutched at real wounds, blood spraying from the mortal strikes, while others writhed in agony as their bodies corroded from the touch of corrupt mana, like a contagion eating at their souls. And as he moved, more of the deadly mana flowed from the mouths of the twin skulls in his medallion, adding to the mayhem he wrought.

When he was finished, Waka surveyed the desolation. The soldiers were all dead, leaving only the remaining villagers he’d managed to save.

“Now you will come with me,” he spoke softly. “And when I have taken you to safety, it is time that the Chaos Legion answer for their transgressions. Every life they have taken will be repaid, tenfold. And when I’m done with them, they will be clambering over the bodies of their comrades to reach the rift home.”
