New Reward Cards Revealed - The Final Four!

We're back with the final four remaining new Reward Edition card reveals! If you missed the first reveals, you can check them out in these posts:

All of the 14 new Reward Edition cards are scheduled to be added into the game on Monday, June 29th around 9 - 10 AM ET.

Gloridax Soldier

The Gloridax Soldier will provide a nice tank option for the Dragon Splinter with both the Flying and Shield abilities starting at level 1. He also has decent Health and Armor to protect him, and he gets the new Oppress ability at level 5 to give him an edge against enemies with no attack.

What the Gloridax call a soldier many of the other armies of the Splinterlands consider a highly specialized master of weaponry, one who wears custom armor and carries into battle all the might and fury of Dragons. Most of the Soldiers are scaled, and some can even fly. The Gloridax also allow dropborn (the alternative to eggborn) to become Soldiers, but of course they always use those ones first in any skirmish.

Captain's Ghost

The Captain's Ghost adds a strong new Magic attack monster to the Water Splinter for high mana cap battles. In addition to the new Oppress ability, he is also the first Water Splinter card to feature the Affliction ability which prevents his targets from being healed.

The Captain of a great pirate ship perished in a battle against Old Frank, one of the most ruthless Sea Monsters of the Splinterlands as his ship was dragged under. While he died, the burning desire for the treasure the Captain was seeking ripped his soul from his body. The Captain simply could not cope with the fact that he would never behold the treasure, so he defied reality and life itself. As his lifeless body sank with the ship, the Ghost of the Captain sprang for the surface and began to wander the Splinterlands, lost and seeking a hopeless treasure that he would never find. After nearly a hundred years of wandering, the Captain has finally chosen to appear in battle at Mount Mox. The mere sight of his ghostly presence is enough for many opponents to collapse in fear.

Ant Miners

Ant Miners, while small, have the potential to be a serious threat from the Fire Splinter in low mana cap battles. They use the Scavenger ability to gain Health when other monsters die on the battlefield, which, in addition to the Shield ability, allows them to soak up some significant damage later in the battle.

Kobolds have long been considered the most skilled miners in the land. Their small stature and inherent bravery allows them to squeeze into small and risky spaces, and they are very good with tools. Recently however, the Kobolds have apparently dug too deep into the crust beneath the Molten Mountains. This has allowed an undiscovered race of Fire Ants to breach the surface. These Ants are each about the size of a man’s fist, not large enough individually to pose a threat to anyone, but they are very good at teamwork and they operate through a shared hive mind. The Ant Miners carry tiny tools, which they use to enhance their already-formidable digging skills. They always travel in packs and lines; if you see a line of Ant Miners approaching your home, do not attempt to fight. It’s best to just give up your home.

Spirit Druid Grog

The last new Reward Edition card to be revealed for this release is a new Earth Splinter Legendary card - Spirit Druid Grog. We're sure most of you immediately noticed that Grog is the first card in the game outside of the Life Splinter to have the Resurrect ability, and he also gets Life Leech, Slow, and Headwinds at later levels to round out what should be an interesting new support card for the Earth Splinter.

The most powerful druidic sorcerer in the Splinterlands is called Spirit Druid Grog. He resides in a mud hut outside the earthen gate to the Swamps of the Living Moss. Without the help of the moss, Grog never would have achieved such incredible magical abilities. Now, he has lived among the mud and moss for so long that he can leave the Swamps, taking the entirety of his magic with him. By mixing a variety of wondrous weeds from the Swamps with pieces of various magical creatures and cooking them up in his great iron cauldron, Grog can create spells with truly otherworldly effects. He has even discovered the secret to resurrecting the fallen in battle, but unfortunately, they are not always brought back with their original minds.

Stay tuned for more updates from the Splinterlands!
