Introducing Zyriel - The First Multi-Element Splinterlands Card!

The Splinterlands team is excited to announce the next promo card that will be offered for sale in the Splinterlands shop - Zyriel! Harnessing the divine might of the celestials and the demonic forces of Mortis Deep, Zyriel is the first of her kind: a dual-element card that straddles the boundary between Life and Death. Experience her fall from grace and journey to redemption, and get ready for a whole new chapter in the lore and gameplay of Splinterlands!

Zyriel will be a Legendary Life/Death Monster card, and a total of 15,000 single-BCX Zyriel cards will be available for purchase in the Splinterlands shop starting on Tuesday, May 2nd, 2023 at 4:00 PM ET / 20:00 UTC and the sale will run for 30 days or until the cards sell out, whichever comes first.

The base purchase price for each single-BCX Zyriel card will be 80,000 DEC or Credits, and players may receive up to a 50% discount on the purchase price by spending VOUCHER tokens at a rate of $0.25 per VOUCHER token spent. Please note that DEC-B tokens will not be able to be used for promo card purchases and that purchases of the promo card using Credits will not be eligible for referral payments.

Each Zyriel card purchased will have a 4% chance of being a Gold Foil version of the card, and players will be guaranteed to receive at least one Gold Foil version of the card if they purchase 25 Zyriel cards in a single transaction. There will be no limit to the amount of Zyriel cards that each account can purchase during the sale, but there will be a maximum of 25 cards that can be purchased per transaction. There will also be measures put in place to prevent automated purchases and to ensure that everyone has a fair chance to purchase the card if they are ready when the sale begins.

Show Me The Stats!

First and foremost, Zyriel is the first multi-element card to be introduced into the Splinterlands. As a Life & Death card, Zyriel can be used with both Life and Death element Summoners, or Dragon/Neutral Summoners when either Life or Death is chosen.

While there are already Neutral cards in the game which can be used with any Summoner, they typically have lower power levels to compensate for their increased utility. Zyriel, on the other hand, will have a power level that is in line with element-specific cards, but will still have double the playability of a typical single-element card. Additionally, Zyriel will give bonus RP when used with both Life and Death focuses, and will be able to be used in battles where Neutral cards aren't allowed.

On top of being the first multi-element card in the game, Zyriel is also the first tradeable card in the game to have the new Weapons Training ability! This allows her to train cards with no attack to use her powerful ranged attack, and she can be combined with the other soulbound Weapons Trainers like Aves Sturgis and Skok Duskblight to give multiple attacks to no-attack cards, turning these normally passive creatures into potent damage dealers.

While Zyriel starts out with low health and needs to be protected at first, she gets stronger as the battle progresses by Leeching health from her prey. She also has Divine Shield which helps protect her earlier on and she reduces the enemy's armor via the Rust ability, making her attacks more likely to hit enemy flesh and trigger her Life Leech ability.

At only 7 Mana, Zyriel will fit into many teams and many situations, and we look forward to seeing her play a big role in the Splinterlands meta far into the future.

Finally, please note that on land, multi-element cards will be considered as whichever element gives them the highest terrain bonus. For example, Zyriel will receive a +10% terrain bonus on Badlands, Bogs, Forests, Hills, Jungles, Mountains, Plains, and Swamps.

Get Yours While Supplies Last

We want to remind everyone that there will be a maximum of 15,000 single-BCX Zyriel cards minted in total and available for sale, and after those are sold or the sale ends then the only way to get them will be from other players on the peer-to-peer market.

Given the price point of 40,000 DEC/Credits + 160 VOUCHERs (if using the max VOUCHER discount) and the awesome strength and utility of the card, we expect that they may sell out very quickly, so if you're looking to pick some up in the sale we recommend that you have your DEC, Credits, and VOUCHERs, ready to go when the sale begins next Tuesday, May 2nd, 2023 at 4:00 PM ET / 20:00 UTC.

Zyriel Lore

The landscape was a pure, shining light save for the portal that rose before her. It was filled with smokey colors of purple and orange that spun in a counterclockwise whirl. It fizzed and hissed as the wind whipped around it.

“What will you do?” came a voice from behind her.

Zyriel didn’t turn. She gathered her robes around her and stared into the portal. “I’ll find another way to get what I want.”

“You won’t seek redemption, Zyriel the Fallen?” the voice asked.

“Is that what they’re calling me now?”

“Some call you the Betrayer.”

Zyriel snorted. “Are you telling me you wouldn’t read from the book if you thought none would know, sister?” Zyriel waited, but no reply came. “That’s what I thought.”

The squall howled around them. It tugged at Zyriel’s hair and broken wings. She remembered what it was like to soar through the skies. Now, her wings were useless. Anger raged inside her like a storm. They’d taken so much from her.

“You can still find redemption.”

Zyriel let out a bitter laugh. “You think I want to be redeemed?” She spread her tattered wings. Several of the remaining feathers were ripped away by the wind and drifted into the ether. “I accept the consequences of my sins. In fact, I welcome them. They’re a reminder of the hypocrisy that blinds us. Well, guess what? I’m blind no more. And I promise you this: I’ll be back. Then we’ll see who bows to who.”

The portal spun faster. It tugged first at Zyriel’s robe, then at her body. She staggered forward a step.

“Power isn’t everything,” the voice said.

“It is to me.”

The gravitational force of the portal pulled Zyriel off her feet and sucked her inside of it, and she was gone, swept away to whatever destiny may come.

Interesting how I blogged about dual/multi colored cards few weeks ago :P

Almost double what I paid for Lux or Runi, Ill pass but nice try.

Yeah!! This is one of the first things that will add more strategy!

Next - Self Harm Abilities :) :) :)

-1 HP for YOUR TEAM but STUPID BONUSES for each HP drained :)

Stuff like that!

I just saw the cost on these and I had to take a moment to think about this...

880k DEC for a Max Zyriel? Or 440k + 1,760 Vouchers?

That's $700 USD or roughly $565 with vouchers...

I love, love, LOVE the idea... but good golly that price tag is tough to swallow...

That's like 4 Plots... (or 3)

That's almost a Node...

That's over 20k SPS...

Again - seems like an AWESOME card... but I'm a bit curious to see what the Playability vs Scarcity will do here...

15,000 * .96 = 14,400 RF BCX or 1,309 Max Level Copies...

Tough call... but I like the concept...

It is way too much expensive... The stats are good but not out of the world. The question one needs to ask is it worth spending that much for a dual splinter monster? No thanks I better buy some neutral legendaries and use them in any splinter I like. In Taking sides ruleset I will take my chances.

Its Waka 2.0!

Great art, cool card, however, I feel it could have been made a bit more accessible for more people. I mean.. the Runi presale was $250 and 100 vouchers and you got a maxed legendary card with a ton of additional utility. Now you can barely get a level 3 legendary card.

Yeah, it's definitely ridiculous.

When would the Splinterlands app be updated btw? The quest doesnt show and you also need to use browser when getting rewards.
These among many other features unavailable vs browser

I would ignore the app and log in using hive keychain on your phone and just literally go to SL . com instead. Better interface with full operability and it actually works lol. If only there was a way to just sell a "redirect" in the app store.

How will Zyriel work with land production bonuses?

If she is working on a plot that is favourable to Death, but not life, will the positive bonuses and negative impact cancel each other out?

Finally, please note that on land, multi-element cards will be considered as whichever element gives them the highest terrain bonus. For example, Zyriel will receive a +10% terrain bonus on Badlands, Bogs, Forests, Hills, Jungles, Mountains, Plains, and Swamps.

Looks like it will ignore the -50% for Life on Badlands (for example) and instead provide the +10% for Death.

I need to learn how to read when I'm bleary eyed and still waking up. Thanks mate. :D

Hahaha, no worries mate.

Good card. The current SPS proposal though has created uncertainty.

Great work, this should really spice things up for these two splinters! 😍

What an awesome card! Artwork too is next level.
Beside the double background color no one would guess she is a life card too.
She looks totally dead to me :)

Looks like fun, can't wait to put this and Skok next to a Shadowy Presence or Rifwing, or this and Sturgis next to a Truthspeaker or a Warrior of Peace, not to mention Scavo Hireling 🙃

Hopefully this element of gameplay will take the game to the next level!!

I love the idea behind dual-element cards: they remind me a lot of Magic The Gathering! I'm really looking forward the next expansion, as I guess they'll be featured in Rebellion, right?

We don't need more cards, for at least a year. And why so extremely expensive, everyone please boycot this card. This will end up like a waka investment.

PIZZA!

$PIZZA slices delivered:
@onthemountain(1/5) tipped @splinterlands

are you guys every going to stop selling and improve the game? you know what would be cool? a game people actually want to play instead of having bots play it for them. imagine what that would be like?

This card is really amazing, like I never thought a multi element card will be up one day. cant wait to give this a try

Wooooow just woooow!!! it hasn't even come out and I already want to make a fanart of this awesome card for the art contest. 💖💖💖

I would love to be able to have it.

Card seems good. But, its worth playing only after level three. Apart from being used in both life and death, it has ordinary quality. It's speed is just 2, it means it can miss its attacks easily. It has low health which makes it vulnerable of attacks by the powerful monsters. Only a single blow can destroy it. Only after level two is has protection in the first round. But, it takes three cards to level it up to the second level. It is a very expensive card compared to its abilities. So, I don't think it will be a good deal for us.

"Only a single blow can destroy it."

Please explain how this will be possible when the card has devine shield or you speak only from the ruleset that monster loose all abilities, but in this case you should write this.

This card is expensive and shield power comes only in the second level which needs three such expensive cards. Also, its speed is just 2 which means it cannot dodge attacks. Health is also low. So, it makes this card not worth buying.

OK I don't want say that the card is worth to buy, I think it's a good card but really expensive.
I don't know if you are aware that Splinterlands try to create cards who are not always good but in specific circumstances, so that the player need to buy much cards and not only a few.
If you consider this the card is quite good for reverse speed and can their Dodge, as most cards has more than 2 speed at max-level.

Nice artwork i must say
