Introduction
Hi! @saydie here playing Splinterlands everyday.
This is Exploring the Chaos where I take a look on Chaos Legion cards including thier subsets such as Riftwatchers and the Reward cards, as they brought new abilities and strategies that changes how the game was played.
Last time, I have talked about the old card rewards that we usually get on our daily and season chest and how they were and how they were used as well as their importance to the meta.

Meanwhile, Swamp Spitter can restore the armor of a monster while dealing range attacks which allowed my monsters to stay longer in play.

And it was able to attack Coeurl Lurker with the help of Weapons Training from Kulu Mastermind which gives half of its attack to Noah the Just.
Final Thoughts
The New Water Soulbound Reward cards offers new sets of possibilities for the Water element with the addition of new abilities adding to the meta. The notable cards on this set for me was Swamp Spitter with its Repair ability and Kulu Mastermind with the Weapons Training ability which are both accessible at level 1. Pembrook Nymph would also be a good summoner but first needs to reach a certain level to be useable for the league I am currently playing but it's ability to use the powerful Gladius cards, it will be very useable for brawls. That said, when all this cards reach their max levels, I believed that it will make the current Kelya water team more powerful among the other elements.
