First off I gotta say I'm loving the new CHAOS (Legion) abilities!
I believe I've finally learned to just bite the bullet and buy what I like early on when I can so I threw down to get maxed versions of 3 new rewards cards, two of which I may highlight in another post, but just wanted to honorably mention along the way to discussing the star of today's post:
Naga Assassin
To begin, I don't know anything about the lore or quirky adventure stories or anything like that... I'm not trying to marry the girl, just talk about how much of a bad-ass she is.
Let's talk stats!
She's a rare one so her strong 8 is your common trollops
long road hard 10 and boy howdy does she know what she's got!
She lays low early on, gathering her strength, before the man-eater within begins to really bubble to the surface when she learns how to turn the tables on the wolves that stalk the night.
Backfire!
Anyone who has ever tried to take out a high level Cockatrice with a non-magic user knows how frustrating it can be to miss over, and over, and over. Well this is that buffed with steroids and smoking crack... the good stuff like Walter cooks, goddamn it.
You think it's infuriating to miss for TWELVE straight rounds that end with you bleeding out of fatigue? Well, your worries are over because this sexy lady doesn't have the time, nor inclination, to wait around for you to eventually disappoint.
Everyone is welcome to take a shot, but get it wrong and it's your ass!!
You can see how effective this is from the battle linked above.
If you've ever read anything I post about splinterlands, gameplay, you may know that I'll preach speed over all else.
If you can't hit it, you can't kill it. It's just as simple as that and it holds doubly true when when missing kills you back.
And that brings us to one of my favorite general use abilities...
SWIFTNESS
Everyone knows this one so I don't feel like I need to go into detail about it other than to say I think it's very important to differentiate from Slow. You can only subtract to 1, but you can add forever, as far as I know, so I'll pick swiftness over slow any day.
So getting back to our girl, there's no question
She's the real deal...
She knows how to work it......
And you DO NOT want to be the one she's working on!

Wow, I don't have a Naga Assassin yes so this is the first I've heard of the Backfire ability. But now that I see what she can do, I think I'm in !LUV. I gotta get me on of these and level her up fast.

@sinistry, you've been given LUV from @gregory-f.
Check the LUV in your H-E wallet. (1/4)
You’re goddamn right you do!!
I don’t dare even verbalize the profane degree of excitement I achieve thinking about it, so I’ll just have some !PIZZA. I’d !LUV to share if you’re in the mood to !ENGAGE…
Hmmm complimentary “no homo” since that came out weird.
Edit to ask: Have you seen Djinn Oshammus yet?
Man... talk about falling in love... I'm generally not into dudes, mythical or not, but Jesus (JC) Christ & The Sunshine Band if I don't love watching that one get busy with the big guns. 😁
Goddamn, I'm clever ss fuck!
Sometimes I think we should get a pass from spambot for real gold, so we can upvote ourselves when it’s as appropriate as it would be right now. Maybe we should vote in a birthday protocol. 🤣

I do have a Djinn Oshannus. Only level 1, but I can't wait to get him up to 4 as soon as Chaos Legion is released and I have a max summoner that can support him.
Omg man. Forcefield is something. I
Might throw out a post on it tomorrow. It’s ridiculous. 😁

I've been wanting to do a post about "The Little Guys" and now I can incorporate more praise for this fine piece of assassin I may have to finally get around to it!
That Backfire ability is pretty cool. Pair her with Brighton Bloom and she would almost be unstoppable.
That’s why I love throwing Fallen Spector with her or Spirit Miner. Blindness on top of speed adjustments = devastation for the opponent.
It's a great combo and she has a decent amount of health so she can take a hit or two.
Exactly but that’s mostly important because if you do it well magic will be the only thing that can matter.
Lol. Right after I read this I played 2 back to back and she didn't dodge anything. Damn swamp thing even got a piece.
Lol, well there is always the element of luck. Sometimes every attack hits, other times every attack misses
Yeah but the irony of the timing was sickening. I felt like I should let you know how so very wrong I was. 🤣
Sounds like the Splinter Gods were trying to remind you there is no perfect solution.
Yeah but I don't bow to them. I'm a child of Hive! We ascend their authority. 😁

Do you have anything with backfire yet? I think it's already in my top something list...
OMG! When they release a card with phase/backfire I'm gonna nut.
Don't let that kill your appetite for some !PIZZA, though! I !LUV to !ENGAGE in slinging !PIZZA!
