I hate facing monsters with magical attacks because they ignore armor and attack life directly, for this reason I like to use monsters that will make life difficult for enemy monsters with magical attacks, come and meet the Dark Arbolist.
The monster I am talking about is the Dark Arbolist, a rare monster that belongs to the Death deck and that, in addition to having the Void and Magic Reflect abilities, also has the Demoralize ability.
The Dark Arbolist has low attack power, but its mana cost is low, and because of its abilities, it will be very useful in battles.
The Demoralize ability makes the Dark Arbolist decrease the melee attack of my opponent's monsters by -1 while she is in battle. If the Dark Arbolist is defeated in battle, then my opponent's monsters will recover the melee attack they lost.
The Magic Reflect ability makes the Dark Arbolist deal part of the magic damage received back to the monster that attacked it with magic attack, so if it receives an attack from a monster that has 2 magic attack, the Dark Arbolist will deal 50% of the damage back, so using this monster with 2 magic attack as an example, this monster will receive 1 magic damage back.
The Void ability makes the Dark Arbolist only receive half damage against magic attacks, this means that if a monster with 2 magic attack attacks the Dark Arbolist, it will only receive 1 magic damage.
The Dark Arbolist is the type of monster that any monster with magic attack will hate because they will deal less damage to it and will still suffer from its own attack because of the ability Magic Reflect.
I really like using Dark Arbolist in low-mana battles or in battles with the Little League rule because it is a low-mana cost monster that is very useful in battles and besides being useful against monsters with magic attacks, it will also be useful in reducing the melee attack of my opponent's monsters with its Demoralize ability.
There are many powerful cards like Dark Arbolist in the current set of reward cards, so one of my main goals in Splinterlands is to level up all of the reward cards to max level before a new set of reward cards is released.
I hope I can get Dark Arbolist to max level before that happens.
