Hoje foi divulgada uma publicação anunciando inúmeras novidades extremamente relevantes para todos os jogadores de **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock)**, então se você ainda não viu **[clique aqui](https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/announcing-the-new-chaos-legion-reward-cards)** antes de ler este post para estar totalmente situado das mudanças e adições incríveis que teremos daqui alguns dias.

Uma das coisas anunciadas foram três novas habilidades *(além de buffs e debuffs em outras duas habilidades)* que adicionarão inúmeras mecânicas novas envolvendo posicionamento e estratégias que antes não existiam, então nada melhor do que falarmos sobre essas habilidades e analisar quais serão as melhores maneiras de utilizarmos elas ao nosso favor. Se esta análise agregar algum conhecimento para você, considere votar no conteúdo e seguir o meu perfil para acompanhar as próximas postagens!

# <center>NOVAS HABILIDADES</center>

|<center><h3>**Conscript**</h3></center>|<center><h3>**Martyr**</h3></center>|<center><h3>**Weapons Training**</h3></center>|

Eu não irei descrever em detalhes todos os efeitos dessas habilidades então novamente eu recomendo a leitura da publicação oficial para ficar por dentro de tudo. Começando pela habilidade **Conscript** que realizará o sonho de muitos: **utilizar cartas Gladius em partidas ranqueadas ou torneios**.

Essa habilidade só existirá em invocadores e eles terão um custo de mana adequado para portar esse efeito. Também é extremamente importante mencionar que a habilidade **Bloodlust** https://i.imgur.com/NkdHb8h.png foi bastante nerfada pois os seus buffs nas estatísticas agora poderão ser removidos pela habilidade **Dispel** https://i.imgur.com/oO7WFUo.png e mesmo em partidas com a regra **Reverse Speed** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/fb/Combat-rule_reverse-speed.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209075101 a velocidade continuará sendo aumentada após abate. Esses dois debuffs tornam a **Bloodlust** https://i.imgur.com/NkdHb8h.png menos perigosa e controlável, balanceando o fato de cartas **Gladius** poderem ser utilizadas nos combates normais.

Com a **Conscript** tão perto de ser lançada nós já devemos começar a pensar quais as cartas **Gladius** que parecem ser as mais interessantes de serem utilizadas. Lembrando que apesar delas parecerem muito fortes elas precisam compensar o custo de mana extra do invocador e a ausência de outros buffs que ele poderia dar à equipe, justamente por isso não serão todas as cartas que valerão a pena serem escolhidas. Vamos observar algumas das que devem dar as caras nas partidas ranqueadas assim que os invocadores com **Conscript** forem lançados.

<center>https://images.hive.blog/200x200/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/gladius/Quora%20Towershead_lv1.png https://images.hive.blog/200x200/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/gladius/Liza%20Fox_lv1.png https://images.hive.blog/200x200/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/gladius/Marisol%20Contuma_lv1.png https://images.hive.blog/200x200/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/gladius/Isgald%20Vorst_lv1.png</center>

Evitando mencionar as cartas lendárias que em sua maioria serão sempre ótimas escolhas, a primeira das cartas apresentadas acima é a mais óbvia de todas e acredito que todos os jogadores tenham pensado exatamente nela quando leram sobre a possibilidade de utilizar cartas **Gladius** nas batalhas ranqueadas, é claro que estou falando da **Quora Towershead**. Será realmente problemático lidar com esta carta sem o devido preparo então todos deverão estar sempre alertas às possibilidades extras que os jogadores terão com o **Conscript**. As outras também são ótimos exemplos de cartas com altíssimo potencial ofensivo para carregar uma partida realizando vários abates e aumentando seu poder com **Bloodlust** https://i.imgur.com/NkdHb8h.png.

As habilidades **Martyr** e **Weapons Training** utilizarão o mesmo método para aplicar seus efeitos: **a carta com esta habilidade aplicará seu efeito nos aliados adjacentes**, portanto a melhor forma de posicionar estas cartas será entre as posiçoes 2, 3, 4 e 5. Apesar da aplicação parecida o gatilho de ambas são opostos e isso gerará mais uma camada de estratégia para o jogo.

O foco das cartas com **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png será morrer antes das suas cartas adjacentes para conseguir aplicar o aumento de todas as estatísticas nas duas unidades. Isso é algo bem difícil de ser executado com perfeição portanto você poderá depender de alguns fatores como a regra **Target Practice** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/6/6b/Combat-rule_target-practice.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209075059 para aumentar as chances do oponente atacar a carta com **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png ao ser posicionada de maneira que seja o foco do **Snipe** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_snipe.png.

<center>https://images.hive.blog/400x400/https://i.imgur.com/6LBFXso.png</center>

Já o objetivo de escolher uma carta com a habilidade **Weapons Training** é o inverso. Você deseja que ela **sobreviva o máximo de tempo possível** para aplicar o seu efeito de dar o seu tipo de ataque para as duas cartas adjacentes *(que não possuem nenhum tipo de ataque natural)*. Isso faz com que as estrategias precisem ser muito bem pensadas para evitar tentar counterar o **Weapons Training** e acabar ajudando o oponente ao eliminar sua carta com **Martyr** *(ou o inverso)*.

Todas estas novas adições adicionarão muitas camadas para as batalhas de **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock)** e como eu já disse diversas vezes estas novas camadas tornam mais difíceis a vida dos bots e aumentam a necessidade de criar boas estratégias para vencer mais partidas. Isso favorece bons jogadores e incentiva que os outros também se esforcem para aumentar sua taxa de vitórias, criando um ambiente mais competitivo e saudável para um jogo que acima de todos os outros *(por ser da categoria Play2Earn e Crypto)* precisa alcançar estas características para se tornar mais sustentável.

Estas são apenas algumas das novidades incríveis que virão e há muitas outras planejadas para os próximos meses. Eu estou cada vez mais animado com tudo que estou acompanhando do **Splinterlands** e irei continuar observando tudo de perto até chegarmos ao próximo Bullmarket.

Quais foram suas impressões sobre as novas habilidades? Eu gostei de todas as três e acredito que serão muito benéficas ao jogo mas admito que fiquei bastante decepcionado com os nerfs na habilidade **Bloodlust** https://i.imgur.com/NkdHb8h.png. Ela ser removida pelo **Dispel** https://i.imgur.com/oO7WFUo.png é aceitável mas a inefitividade nas partidas com **Reverse Speed** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/fb/Combat-rule_reverse-speed.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209075101 é péssimo e acaba destruindo o potencial do **Grum Flameblade**. Tirando isso, estou bastante animado para experimentar utilizar minhas cartas **Gladius** nas partidas ranqueadas e pegar meus oponentes de surpresa com a **Quora Towershead** 😆!

Muito obrigado a todos que leram até aqui, espero que tenham gostado. Se vocês curtirem meus conteúdos, peço que deixem o seu voto na postagem e sigam o meu perfil para poderem acompanhar as futuras postagens.

Today a publication was released announcing numerous extremely relevant news for all **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock)** players, so if you haven't seen **[click here](https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/announcing-the-new-chaos-legion-reward-cards)** before reading this post to be fully aware of the amazing changes and additions coming in a few days.

One of the things announced was three new abilities *(in addition to buffs and debuffs on two other abilities)* that will add a lot of new mechanics involving positioning and strategies that didn't exist before, so what better way than talking about these abilities and analyzing which ones will be the best ways to use them to our advantage. If this analysis adds some knowledge for you, consider voting for the content and following my profile to follow the next posts!

# <center>NEW ABILITIES</center>

|<center><h3>**Conscript**</h3></center>|<center><h3>**Martyr**</h3></center>|<center><h3>**Weapons Training**</h3></center>|
|-|-|-|
|<center>https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://i.imgur.com/Egpf3qu.png</center>|<center>https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://i.imgur.com/ttLpfvj.png</center>|<center>https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://i.imgur.com/mo0o1Mk.png</center>|

I won't describe in detail all the effects of these abilities so again I recommend reading the official post to stay on top of everything. Starting with the **Conscript** ability that will make many dream come true: **using Gladius cards in ranked matches or tournaments**.

This ability will only exist on summoners and they will have an adequate mana cost to carry this effect. It is also extremely important to mention that the **Bloodlust** https://i.imgur.com/NkdHb8h.png ability has been greatly nerfed as its stat buffs can now be removed by **Dispel** https://i.imgur.com/oO7WFUo.png and even in games with the **Reverse Speed** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/fb/Combat-rule_reverse-speed.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209075101 rule speed will continue to be increased upon kill. These two debuffs make **Bloodlust** https://i.imgur.com/NkdHb8h.png less dangerous and controllable, balancing the fact that **Gladius** cards can be used in normal combat.

With **Conscript** so close to being released we should already be starting to think about which **Gladius** cards seem to be the most interesting to play. Remembering that although they seem very strong, they need to compensate for the summoner's extra mana cost and the absence of other buffs that he could give to the team, precisely because of this, not all the cards will be worth choosing. Let's look at some of the ones that should make their way into ranked play once **Conscript** summoners are released.

<center>https://images.hive.blog/200x200/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/gladius/Quora%20Towershead_lv1.png https://images.hive.blog/200x200/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/gladius/Liza%20Fox_lv1.png https://images.hive.blog/200x200/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/gladius/Marisol%20Contuma_lv1.png https://images.hive.blog/200x200/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/gladius/Isgald%20Vorst_lv1.png</center>

Avoiding mentioning the legendary cards, most of which will always be great choices, the first of the cards presented above is the most obvious of all and I believe that all players thought exactly about it when they read about the possibility of using **Gladius** cards in ranked battles, of course I'm talking about **Quora Towershead**. It will be really problematic to deal with this card without proper preparation so everyone should always be alert to the extra possibilities that players will have with **Conscript**. The others are also great examples of cards with very high offensive potential to carry a match by performing several kills and increasing their power with **Bloodlust** https://i.imgur.com/NkdHb8h.png.

**Martyr** and **Weapons Training** abilities will use the same method to apply their effects: **the card with this ability will apply its effect on adjacent allies**, so the best way to position these cards will be between the positions 2, 3, 4 and 5. Despite the similar application, the trigger of both are opposites and this will generate another layer of strategy for the game.

The focus of cards with **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png will be to die before their adjacent cards to be able to apply all stat boosts to both units. This is something very difficult to do perfectly so you can depend on some factors like the **Target Practice** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/6/6b/Combat-rule_target-practice.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209075059 rule to increase the opponent's chances of attacking the card with **Martyr** https://i.imgur.com/l9IllIK.png ao be positioned so that it is the focus of the **Snipe** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_snipe.png.

<center>https://images.hive.blog/400x400/https://i.imgur.com/6LBFXso.png</center>

The objective of choosing a card with the ability **Weapons Training** is the opposite. You want it to **survive as long as possible** to apply its effect of giving your attack type to the two adjacent cards *(which have no natural attack type)*. This means that strategies need to be very well thought out to avoid trying to counter **Weapons Training** and ending up helping the opponent by eliminating your card with **Martyr** *(or the opposite)*.

All these new additions will add a lot of layers to the battles of **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock)** and as I've said many times these new layers make life harder for bots and increase the need to create good strategies to win more matches. This favors good players and encourages others to also strive to increase their win rate, creating a more competitive and healthy environment for a game that above all others *(because it belongs to the Play2Earn and Crypto category)* needs to achieve these characteristics to become more sustainable.

These are just some of the exciting new features to come, and there are many more planned for the coming months. I'm getting more and more excited about everything I'm following from **Splinterlands** and will continue to watch everything closely until we get to the next Bullmarket.

What were your impressions of the new abilities? I liked all three and I believe they will be very beneficial to the game but I admit that I was quite disappointed with the nerfs in the **Bloodlust** https://i.imgur.com/NkdHb8h.png ability. It is removed by **Dispel** https://i.imgur.com/oO7WFUo.png acceptable but ineffective in games with **Reverse Speed** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/fb/Combat-rule_reverse-speed.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209075101 sucks and ends up destroying the potential of the **Grum Flameblade**. That aside, I'm really excited to try my **Gladius** cards in ranked and catch my opponents off guard with **Quora Towershead** 😆!

Thank you so much to everyone who read this far, I hope you enjoyed it. If you like my content, I ask you to send your vote on the post and follow my profile so you can read future posts.
