Monsters with magic attack are my favorite in Splinterlands because they can attack in any position and ignore the armor of enemy monsters, they are perfect monsters for battles and my favorite is the Ruler of the Seas from the water deck.
I remember that the Ruler of the Seas was very popular in battles in Splinterlands back in the day, in fact, it is still used quite frequently in Champion League battles, but it is not very common to be seen in lower leagues, even in the diamond league, which is the league I'm currently playing in, but the Ruler of the Seas is still an incredible monster to have in battles.
The image above shows an overview of the Ruler of the Seas monster, it is a legendary monster from the water deck and it has magic attacks and 3 abilities.
Even if Ruler of the Seas didn't have any abilities, it would still be a great card because it has 4 magic attack at its maximum level, which is a lot of attack for a monster that costs 6 mana. But what makes it special are its abilities, and I'll talk a little about them.
In total, Ruler of the Seas has 4 abilities, which are: Blast, Swiftness, and Silence.
Blast - With this ability, Ruler of the Seas will deal 50% damage to monsters adjacent to the monster it attacks, and since Ruler of the Seas has a powerful attack, this ability makes it even more incredible in battle.
Swiftness - With this ability, Ruler of the Seas will increase the speed of allied monsters by +1 while it is in battle.
- If Ruler of the Seas is defeated in battle, allied monsters will lose the speed bonus they gained from Swiftness.
Silence - With this ability, the Ruler of the Seas will decrease the magic attack of the opponent's monsters by -1 while he is in battle.
- If the Ruler of the Seas is defeated in battle, then the opponent's monsters will recover the magic attack they lost due to the Silence ability.
The Ruler of the Seas is a monster with a perfect combination that causes a lot of damage in battle while helping allied monsters and hindering the opponent's monsters.
If you use summoners like Alric Stormbringer or Valnamor that increase the magic attack of allied monsters, then the Ruler of the Seas will become even more incredible in battle because he will cause even more damage, but he has a great weakness, which is the Magic Reflect ability, so if he faces monsters with the Magic Reflect ability, the Ruler of the Seas can be easily defeated in battle.
- Monsters with the Magic Reflect ability deal 50% of the magic damage received as damage to the monster that attacked them with a magic attack.
One of my main hobbies in Splinterlands is creating new strategies and Ruler of the Seas is the type of card that fits perfectly into most of the strategies I use, which is why it is one of my favorite monsters in Splinterlands and is also indispensable in my collection.
