Splinterlands Basic Battle Tips – Shield ability – Speed

With this simple knowledge, the novice player can obtain a good advantage against his most unprepared opponents.

This is one of the reasons why in Only Untamed tournaments, the Fire splint is so strong in the Novice and Bronze leagues:

The presence of the card: Living Lava that already brings the Shield birth ability from level 1.

Other cards acquire this ability in the Silver league, namely: Tortisian Fighter, Elven Defender, Cyclops, and Gloridax Guardian.

More cards obtain Sheild in the highest leagues, but until the Silver league, I consider that this ability has greater importance.

We must be aware of the fact that normally these cards with Shield are slow, except for the Serpentine Soldier which nevertheless has lower damage.

In this way, a fast card with + 2 or + 3 damage may be able to defeat a card with Shield. See this example:

Battle Link: @marianaemilia versus @ariesnomu

Although my task was made easier by the presence of a magic attack card, what I wanted to demonstrate is how Living Lava misses the target on two occasions against its much faster opponent Serpent of Eld.

Speed
Determines the order in which characters attack. It also makes the character harder to hit with Melee or Ranged attacks.

I hope this article was helpful and soon I will be back with more basic strategy tips for Splinterlands!
