Splinterlands New Promo Card - Arena Fanatic!
Hello Splinterlands Summoners and welcome to another edition of Social Media Challenge! The Splinterlands team has announced the release of a new promo card: the Arena Fanatic. This card was inspired by the streamers and creators who promote Splinterlands across the world, the Influencer Card brings raw energy and strategy amplification straight into your lineup. In this post, we'll check out the Arena Fanatic's stats and ability, its role in battles and possible combos. Let's dig in!
Unit Overview
The Arena Fanatic is a five mana, rare, neutral card. At max level, it can deal two ranged damage and has two speed. It's defense is great with four armor and six health. It only has one ability that can be gained at max level: Amplify.
Since the Arena Fanatic is a neutral card, it can be used by all splinters. It deals ranged damage so it is ideally positioned in the rear. It's defense is great to guard against enemy Sneak attackers. It's Amplify ability is great for Briar Patch ruleset or to combo with units that have the Retaliate, Thorns, Magic Reflect or Return Fire ability.
On the other hand, having only one ability that can be gained only at max level is a major disadvantage for this unit.
Possible Combos
As I mentioned earlier, it's role is to be a rear guard unit and to combo with units that have the Retaliate, Thorns, Magic Reflect or Return Fire ability.
Oridum Graybrow
Oridum Graybrow is a legendary Fire tank. Among it's five abilities at maxed level is Thorns and Magic Reflect that can return damage to enemy melee and magic attackers. The Fanatic's Amplify will increase Thorns and Magic Reflect damage from Oridum while also doing ranged damage from the back line.
Inept Healer
The Inept Healer is another powerful support unit in the Fire Splinter. It's a legendary card that has four abilities at maxed level. Among it's abilities is Magic Reflect. Similarly, the Fanatic's Amplify will increase Magic Reflect damage to the enemy magic attackers.
Forked Tongue Sage
The Forked Tongue is a rare two mana card. It's also a Fire splinter card that deals two magic damage at maxed level. It's very fast with four speed and has sufficient defense with two armor and six health. Since it's a two mana card, it's very easy to find slots in battles. Among its two abilities is Magic Reflect which can benefit from the Arena Fanatic's Amplify ability.
