New Splinterlands Water card addition!
I bought another card today! I decided to buy Merhdampir. It is a Common Water card and I paid 21.10 DEC for a copy. I always love buying new cards as I have more choices in how I set up my cards for battle. Some cards may not seem like they will be very useful but by upgrading them they can become great cards to have in your team.
I have been playing Splinterlands for a while now and I really enjoy playing it. There are so many different cards to collect and you can try so many different combinations. As I don’t want to rely on just a few cards I prefer to have a bigger collection so I can make the best choices based on the rules and what mana I have.
Why I purchased Merhdampir
I got interested in Merhdampir as I saw it on the market. It costs very little mana to play with (only 4) which makes it a good card to consider.
Sometimes in Splinterlands it is not always best to go for the biggest / most expensive cards. Cards that require less mana can be a big help in battle. I often look for cards that can easily be used in various different teams but not use too much of my mana.
I paid 21.10 DEC for a copy. Currently it is at level 1 but I can slowly collect more copies and upgrade it.
I never just look at how many cards I have. I like to think how I can use it to help me in future battles.
Stats
Merhdampir has the following stats at level 1:
Mana = 4
Attack = 1
Speed = 2
Armor = 0
Health = 4
You can see that it has a low mana cost. It has 1 attack, 2 speed and 4 health.
It does not have a very high amount of attack but I don’t think all cards need to have high attack. It is also important to think about the abilities of the card, where it will be placed and what other monsters will be playing with it.
It has a good amount of health considering it only costs 4 mana. However, it doesn’t have any armour so I will need to be careful where I place it and what other cards I play with.
I will try different combinations to see what situations it works best in.
Why upgrading is important
Speed goes up to 3 but nothing else changes.
Health goes up to 5.
This is interesting as it gets another ability.
As it gets higher the attack increases. Level 5 has an attack of 2. This is an important upgrade as having higher attack can help when fighting opponents with low health.
Level 10 has a lot of upgrades. It has an attack of 3, speed of 4 and health of 6. It also has 3 abilities!
Of course to get to the maximum level I will need to collect lots of copies.
Creating a strong water team
I always find the water element interesting to collect.
Having Merhdampir adds another option. It only costs 4 mana so I can consider using it when I don’t have much mana.
I always consider how much mana I have before a battle. Sometimes I have a strong card but if I use it I won’t have enough mana for other key spots. Having cheaper cards can be really helpful.
Having a variety of cards with different mana costs and abilities can give me more options.
I will need to try it in different situations to see where it works best. The best way to know how useful a monster can be is to play with it.
Future plans
I have bought 1 copy of Merhdampir and am happy to have it.
I also have other cards I want to upgrade so I need to be careful not to spend all my resources on 1 monster.
Even if I can’t upgrade it straight away having it means I have another option for future battles.
It is also nice to watch a card get stronger. When it reaches a new level and gets new abilities it feels like all the time and resources I have put into it have paid off.
I would love to see Merhdampir reach a much higher level in my collection. For now though I will keep playing and collecting cards to slowly improve my team.
Overall thoughts
I am happy with my purchase! I invested 21.10 DEC into Merhdampir and it is another small investment into my collection. It is a Common Water card that costs 4 mana and can be upgraded, making it an interesting card to develop.
This is why I enjoy playing Splinterlands.
Every time I buy a new card, earn a reward or upgrade an existing monster I feel my collection is progressing.
I am excited to use Merhdampir in future battles and see how it works with my other water monsters. Hopefully I can collect more copies so I can unlock its higher level abilities.
For now I am happy with my purchase. I am continuing my journey through Splinterlands and can’t wait to see what new opportunities and rewards I can earn in my next battles!
