Good morning Splinterlands family! Welcome to a brand new week and a brand new upcoming season! This is @zusi78.

At the end of every season, I always have this little tradition: adding a new unit to my deck collection, either by buying or renting. This time, the newest addition is none other than the master of disguise 🥸 and camouflage himself — Kervik!

I first started paying serious attention to Kervik after losing around three battles to my friend and fellow warrior @dewabrata. Your name keeps popping up in my posts — I think it is because we’ve faced each other more — about 3 or 4 times this season in Modern Ranked, and I lost every single one 🤗.

But that’s the beauty of it — win or lose, there’s always something to learn, and that’s what makes this game so awesome.

Now, back to Kervik… In those battles against my fellow warrior friend, she featured this monster twice, and its ruthlessness was just unbelievable.
I said to myself Kervik would be my first water unit,slated for renting.

KERVIK RENTED FOR NEXT SEASON (Level 2)

Splinterlands is no walk in the park,but that's what amps up the excitement.A winning strategy weighs stats, abilities, rulesets, mana caps, and beyond. That's why you must factor them all into your deck building.Toss in strong cards to boost your setups, and push hard to rack up as many victories as possible! 🔥.

FEATURED CARD.Kervik is a Legendary Water Splinter Rodentian from the Conclave Arcana reward set — a fun, sneaky backline assassin who perfectly embodies the master of disguise and camouflage.

Kervik - Max Level Stats.

• Mana Cost: 4
• Attack: 5 Melee (Strong for a 4-mana card)
• Speed: 2 (Excellent — allows him to act very early in the round)
• Health: 4

Abilities at Max Level (from bottom icons)

At level 1(Bronze): It has the sneak ability.Sneak: (attacks the enemy backline)

At level 2 (Silver): Its melee attack scales from +3 to +4, while he gains the Camouflage abilityCamouflage: (very hard to target unless in position 1)

At level 3(Gold):It unlocks another ability called Expose.Expose: (high chance to remove enemy defensive buffs like Shield, Void, Void armor,Cleanse or Immunity after a successful attack.Expose would always remove immunity first.)

At max level(Diamond/Champion). While Scaling up its melee attack from **+4 to +5,It unlocks its final ability called Tank Heal. Tank Heal: It restores 1/3 of max health (rounded down) to the allied unit in the first position.

Kervik is a sneaky damage dealer with excellent sustain at max level. The 5 Attack + 2 Speed combo combined with Sneak + Camouflage makes him a lethal backline assassin who’s hard to pin down. The Expose helps him punch through tanky defenses, while the self-healing allows him to survive longer fights.
He’s very efficient at 4 mana — fast, slippery, and annoying to deal with, exactly what I experienced against @dewabrata.
