Hi Guys

I hope you have enjoyed my [previous article](https://steemit.com/steemmonsters/@r1s2g3/https-steemit-com-steemmonsters-r1s2g3-how-to-get-started-in-steemmonster-2) ,we already discussed about type of attacks and position from which they can attack. In this article I am going to discuss other aspects of cards like Mana cost,armor ,health and swiftness. <center>

1. Health :  You can easily find the health in lower left corner printed with white in red heart. More health means that it can take more damage. If your card health become zero during the game, then that card will be removed from your lineup. When your all card health become zero, then you lose the game .(or tie , if  opponents card health also become zero at same time.) Only exception are Summoner Cards that  do not have health.

2. Armor  : Not all card have armor but if they have , then it is written just above the health. If you card have armor then Melle and range attack have to finish the armor first before damaging your health. In general if monster attack is more than your armor ,then monster can reduce your health and armor if it has "piercing" ability otherwise it will be just able to reduce your armor. Magic monster can directly attack health bypassing armor in standard game play but in case of game rule of "weak Magic"  they need to reduce the armor first before reducing the health.

3. Swiftness:  It is find in the lower right  corner in blue circle having the bird's beak. Swiftness decides the card turn in taking part in attack. Higher swiftness means the earlier turn until it is not the "Reverse Speed" game wher lower swiftness take precedence. Only exception are Summoner Cards that  do not have Swiftness.

4. Mana Cost:  All cards have a mana cost and it can be find on the upper right corner. This is crucial while creating the team because you need to create the team with sum of mana cost of all monster equal or less than the allowed mana cost.
