Splinterlands and the Chaos Legion. Part #1

in Splinterlands2 years ago

Preface

I have known Splinterlands since the time when it was still called Steemmonsters. I like the richness of the game and the fact that you can play it at any time that suits you, without being dependent on a particular opponent. Still, you (mostly) measure yourself against someone who is connected to me somewhere in the world.

In the past, I underestimated the potential of this game. Meanwhile, Splinterlands is one of the biggest and most popular blockchain games and still has potential to grow.

Since mid-December the pre-sale of this new card series is running. On January 17, in a few days, the official sale will begin. I believe that the remaining 12 million booster packs will be sold out within a short time.

I would like to use the beginning of the year 2022 as an opportunity to present all cards of the new Chaos Legion in a series of articles. For this purpose, I will open a booster pack every day and, if possible, select one of the cards it contains.

Chaos Legion Booster Pack #1

To open a booster pack, drag and drop it into the center of the magic circle. Each booster pack contains 5 cards, at least one of which is a rare card or better.

Even before turning the cards over, you can find out how many valuable cards you will receive. You can recognize them by their shimmering edge.

And that's the contents of my Chaos Legion booster pack today. The best piece from it is Mycelic Slipspawn, a rare earth monster.

Mycelic Slipspawn already has 10 Life Points in the base version and the ability to draw all of your opponent's attacks to you. You can use this monster as a tank especially in games with a lot of mana. If possible in combination with a healer. Already from level 4 Mycelic Slipspawn gets another interesting feature: Forcefield. That means, this monster converts the energy of attacks from strength five into a protective forcefield, so that it only gets a damage of one. When fully leveled up, it becomes even more useful to your team, as it can then reduce the speed of all enemy monsters.

The BCX price of Mycelic Slipspawn is $0.51 today on 01/01/2022. I am curious to see how the value of this card will develop in the future.

Thanks for reading and have fun and success in the game wishes you your @germansailor.
