Social Media Challenge: Halfling Refugee [EN - ESP]
Hello to all my dear Splinterlands friends. I hope your start to summer, or winter if you're reading this from the southern hemisphere, is going well and you're able to enjoy the upcoming holidays to the fullest. For my part, it's another day in front of the computer fulfilling my commitment to the Social Media Challenge, a challenge I always enjoy and that's really useful for learning and discovering new skills and strategies with cards already in my roster. That said, this week is going to be a little different, and I'm going to analyze and study a card that's not in my possession. I've encountered it in two consecutive battles, and it's particularly caught my attention. So much so that I've decided to study it and evaluate it as a possible addition to my account, taking advantage of the fact that part of the income from this type of content is allocated to improving the games I'm immersed in from the Hive universe. So, here we go with a new analysis, this time, of a card that I don't own and that's unknown to me. We begin another week of the Social Media Challenge.
Hola a todos queridos amigos de Splinterlands. Espero que vuesto comienzo de verano, o de invierno si me lees desde el hemisferio sur, esté siendo bueno y podáis disfrutar al máximo las vacaciones que se nos avecinan. Por mi parte, un nuevo día delante del ordenador cumpliendo con mi compromiso con el Social Media Challenge, un reto al que no me gusta faltar y que es realmente útil para conocer y descubrir habilidades y estrategias nuevas con cartas que ya están en mi roster. Dicho lo cual, esta semana va a ser un poco diferente y voy a analizar y estudiar una carta que no está entre mis posesiones. Y es que me la he encontrado en dos combates de forma consecutiva y me ha llamado especialmente la atención. Tanto que me he decidido a estudiarla y valorarla como una posible incorporación a mi cuenta aprovechando que parte de los ingresos por este tipo de contenido lo destino a mejorar los juegos en los que estoy inmerso del universo Hive. Así pues, vamos con un nuevo análisis, esta vez, de una carta que no tengo y que es desconocida para mí. Comenzamos una semana más el Social Media Challenge.
We begin, as usual, with a brief look at the card's lore and how it fits into the entire universe created in Splinterlands. The card I'm bringing to the analysis this week is none other than Halfling Refugee, a card that, as I said in the introduction, has caught my attention and curiosity after playing it in two consecutive battles. Even today, after more than three years in the game, there are cards that are beyond my control and that I don't know as well as I should. Halfling Refugee is one of them. This race from Praetoria are victims of war, famine, and disease. They fled their homeland and found refuge in Fireboro in one of the shelters created for this purpose by their chancellor. Thanks to him, they survive as members of the Fireboro Republic and keep their legacy alive in Splinterlands.
Comenzamos, como es habitual, con un breve acercamiento al lore de la carta y su encaje dentro del todo el universo creado en Splinterlands. La carta que traigo esta semana al análisis es, nada menos, que Halfling Refugee, una carta que, como decía en la introducción ha atraido mi atención y mi curiosidad tras sufrirla en dos combates de manera consecutiva. Aún a día de hoy y tras más de tres años en el juego hay cartas que escapan a mi control y que no conozco tanto como debería. Halfling Refugee es una de ellas. Esta raza de Praetoria son víctimas de la guerra, la hambruna y las enfermedades. Huyeron de su tierra natal y encontraron refugio en Fireboro en uno de los refugios creados al efecto por su canciller. Gracias a él, sobreviven como moembros de la República de Fireboro y mantienen su legado vivo en Splinterlands.
This week we're looking at a card from the neutral deck of epic rarity. This card has a curious thing: its base special ability is detrimental to its own performance in the game. However, its basic abilities are extraordinary, and it had to have some compensation so that it wouldn't be completely broken, as is often said on these occasions. As I said, it's a card with a melee attack that, initially, has two attack points, six vitality points, and three speed points in exchange for just one summoning mana point. The compensation for this power is the Weary ability, which causes it to have a 10% chance of suffering Exhausted in round 1, losing the option to attack in that round. With each round that passes, that probability increases by 10% up to the limit of 80% of suffering Exhausted. Its evolution will make it gain 3 attack points and two vitality points, while its speed remains unchanged. As a special ability, it will gain, at level 3, Heal, thus obtaining some healing in each round.
Esta semana estamos ante una carta del mazo neutral y de rareza épica. Carta con una curiosidad y es que su habilidad especial de base es perjudicial para su propio desempeño en el juego. Pero es que sus habilidades básicas son extraordinarias y tenía que tener alguna contraprestación para que no estuviera totalmente rota como se suele decir en estas ocasiones. Como digo, carta con ataque cuerpo a cuerpo que, de inicio, cuenta con dos puntos de ataque, seis de vitalidad y tres de velocidad a cambio de, tan solo, un punto de maná de invocación. La contraprestación a este poder es la habilidad Weary que provoca que en la ronda 1 tenga un 10% de probabilidad de sufrir Exhausted y pierda la opción de atacar en esa ronda. Con cada ronda que pase esa probabilidad aumenta un 10% hasta el límite del 80% de sufrir exhausted. Su evolución la va a hacer ganar 3 puntos de ataque y dos de vitalidad permaneciendo inalterable su velocidad. Como habilidad especial ganará, en el nivel 3, Heal obteniendo así algo de sanación en cada ronda.
Now it's time for the sample battle. My opponent will be Kryptogeiger, and as I said, he's the player who will put the card analyzed this week onto the battlefield. There will be 26 summoning mana points available, and the battle conditions are Beefcakes, Are you not entertained?, and finally, Back to Basics. We're both going to build with Water decks, with Kelya Frendul as the summoner. Let's see how much damage Halfling Refugee can wreak on me from her tank position in this battle.
Turno ahora para la batalla de ejemplo. Mi rival será Kryptogeiger y, como te digo, es el jugador que pondrá sobre el campo de batalla la carta analizada esta semana. Habrá 26 puntos de maná de invocación disponibles y como condiciones de batalla presentes tenemos Beefcakes, Are you not entertained? y, por último, Back to Basics. Los dos vamos a formar con mazos de agua y Kelya Frendul como invocadora. Vamos a ver el destrozo que me hace Halfling Refugee desde su puesto como tanque en este combate.
If Halfling Refugee is already incredibly dangerous with the abilities it provides and its ridiculously low summoning cost of one mana point, imagine if, in addition, among the battle conditions is Back to Basics, which eliminates the effect of special abilities. As I explained in the corresponding paragraph, the counterpart to a minimal cost and impressive basic abilities is the ability that increases the chance of losing its attack turn. With this battle condition, that handicap is eliminated, and it becomes a card that offers a lot for practically nothing. The conclusion is clear: I have to try this card in my roster and see if it adapts to my current decks to make the most of its structure. I will opt, as you can imagine, to rent it for a full season and then evaluate its inclusion. If I decide to buy it and add it to my roster, I will come back in a few months with an analysis, but from my perspective in favor and not from a battle in which I was a victim of Halfling Refugee.
Si ya de por si Halfling Refugee es peligrosisima con las habilidades que proporciona y su irrisorio coste de un punto de maná de invocación imagina si, además, entre las condiciones de batalla está Back to Basics que elimina el efecto de las habilidades especiales. Como te explicaba en el párrafo correspondiente, la contrapartida a un coste ínfimo y unas habilidades básicas imponentes está en la habilidad que va incrementando la posibilidad de que pierda su turno de ataque. Con esta condición de batalla se elimina ese hándicap y pasa a ser una carta que ofrece mucho a cambio de practicamente nada. la conclusión es clara: tengo que probar esta carta en mi roster y ver si se adapta a mis mazos actuales para aprovechar al máximo su estructura. Optaré, como podrás imaginar, por el alquiler una temporada completa y a partir valorar su inclusión. Si me decido a comprarla y añadirla a mi roster volveré dentro de unos meses con un análisis pero ya desde mi perspectiva a favor y no desde una batalla en la que he sido víctima de Halfling Refugee.
