Splinterlands Social Media Challenge: Conclave Favorites! Conclave Artificer

Every week there is a Splinterlands challenge that can be found in . I also encourage players to partake in the challenge because they get to learn about the game. In this week's challenge, we talk about my favorite Conclave Arcana card Conclave Artificer.

Featured cards

CConclave Artificer is a neutral splinter that costs 4 mana. This splinter starts with the ability. It learns lookout at level 5 and void armor at level 10. As a neutral monster, this makes it a great card to use under any splinter type. It doesn't come with any attack so whenever I do use it, I tend to also use a monster with the weapons training ability to give it some damage. I also only have this card at level 1 so the stats aren't too high.

General Strategy

I prefer to use this card when there is not that much mana available. This means that I am limited in my choices, or if it is a Little League match where you can only use monsters with a cost of 4 or less. This is because it can't compare to some of the higher mana cards, but when the mana isn't that high, I like using this card. Like I said before, I match this card up with a weapons training monster. In my case, it is usually Daarg Deadblast or Moxian Rebel. It has an even higher weight when magic monsters are preferred because it is given a magic damage with the two examples that I highlighted above.

Example Battles

Here is the . In this battle, I used Daarg as my weapons training monster to give this monster magic damage, and it is boosted by my foundational summoner with +1 magic. This means that the two non-attacking monsters with a combined mana cost of 6 also have 6 magic damage in addition to their stats and abilities. I generally lose against Eternal Tofu, but this strategy worked well with my other cards to win the match.

Here is the . In this battle, I didn't have the foundational summoner to increase my damage, but the ruleset is Thick Skinned. This means that magic damage is the preferable choice. By using Moxian Rebel as my weapons training monster, I was able to add magic damage to Conclave Artificer and made it an effective damage dealer despite its low mana cost.

Where this card shines

In both of these battles, the mana cost wasn't that high, and I wanted to make sure that I used as much of that as possible. So having a low mana cost card like Conclave Artificer was effective when paired with a weapons training monster. Depending on how you use cards, they can be quite nice, and I find that I use this card the most out of my limited Conclave Arcana cards.

Conclusion

I didn't have many conclave arcana cards because I only opened some starter packs. It wasn't enough to give me access to all the cards. However, my most used card is Conclave Artificer, and I would have to say that it is my favorite card. I can't say much about the cards that I do not have, but it depends on how you use the card. This card didn't look that impressive when I first got it, but I found it to be a common card to use in my own modern fights. Cards shine when they are combined with the right strategies. With so many abilities and archons in the game, I think any card can be a favorite.

What do you think about Conclave Artificer? Are there any other situations you would use this card that I did not list?
