This week marks the tenth instalment of the series in which I analyse Splnterlands' abilities one by one. A small guide that I hope will serve as an introduction to all the skills in the game, what function they serve, in what situations they are useful and how to use them so that they can be exploited and we can take advantage of their use. This week, like last week, it's the turn of a common ability that is available on a large number of cards. This week we look at the Opportunity ability.

Llega esta semana la décima entrega de la serie en la que analizo, una a una, las habilidades de Splnterlands. Una pequeña guía que espero que sirva de introducción a todas las habilidades del juego, qué función cumplen, en qué situaciones son útiles y cómo hay que usarlas para que sean aprovechadas y podamos obtener ventaja de su uso. Esta semana, al igual que la semana pasada, turno para una habilidad común y que está disponible en un número elevado de cartas. Esta semana analizamos la habilidad Opportunity.

As I said in the introduction, this is an ability that is available on multiple cards. Within the water deck there are three cards that have it: Deeplurker, Feasting Seaweed and Isgald Vorst a card from the Gladius edition. In total there are up to 15 cards that currently have this ability in the Splinterlands universe. The fire deck is the most difficult to use this ability. Although there are three cards with this ability, only Serpentine Spy is a common rarity. The other two are legendary. One is Countess Sinash and the other is Gladius Fina Voxon.

Como digo en la introducción, esta es una habilidad que tenemos disponible en múltiples cartas. Dentro del mazo de agua hay tres que cuentan con ella: Deeplurker, Feasting Seaweed e Isgald Vorst carta ésta que pertenece a la edición Gladius. En total son hasta 15 las cartas que, actualmente, tienen esta habilidad dentro del universo Splinterlands. El mazo de fuego es el que tiene más complicado usar esta habilidad. Y es que aunque sean tres las cartas que cuentan con ella solo Serpentine Spy es de rareza común. Las otros dos son legendarias. Una es Countess Sinash y la otra es la Gladius Fina Voxon.

The function of this card is that the card that provides it attacks from any position and will target the opponent's card with the lowest health level Ideal for attacking those cards that the opponent places on us and that have a specific function such as healers or ranged attack and that, if they cannot be eliminated, will complicate the victory a lot.

La función de esta carta hace que la carta que la aporta ataca desde cualquier posición y tendrá como objetivo la carta rival con menor nivel de salud. Ideal para atacar esas cartas que nos coloca el rival y que tienen alguna función específica como sanadores o ataque a distancia y que, de no poder eliminar, nos van a complicar mucho la victoria.

This is one of those skills that we must always bear in mind when establishing our strategy. It is interesting because, by attacking the opponent with the lowest health, you will be able to eliminate opponents quickly and efficiently limiting the opponent's options. When it works best, obviously, is in battles with little mana and in which there are several cards with low health, although it is an ability that, in the end, is useful in all kinds of situations and battle conditions. Two very interesting cards to keep in mind are the two neutrals with Opportunity. Battering Ram and Parasitic Growth are common cards with a very low mana cost, two and four points respectively, and can give us a nice bonus in low mana battles.

Estamos ante una de esas habilidades que siempre tenemos que tener presente al establecer nuestra estrategia. Es interesante ya que, al atacar al rival con la salud más baja, podrá ir eliminando rivales de manera rápida y eficaz limitando las opciones del rival. Cuando mejor rinde, es evidente, es en batallas con poco maná y en la que haya varias cartas con poca salud aunque es una habilidad que, al final, nos resulta útil en todo tipo de situaciones y condiciones de batalla. Dos cartas muy interesantes para tener presente son las dos neutrales que cuentan con Opportunity. Battering Ram y Parasitic Growth. Cartas comunes con un coste de maná muy bajo, dos y cuatro puntos respectivamente, y que nos pueden dar un buen plus en batallas con poco maná.

My strategy for this fight is to hide Deeplurker in a tangle of cards so that he can do damage for a long time Up front he is especially protected with three cards with a lot of life and power and, behind him, two cards that will receive little attack so that Deeplurker and his Opportunity ability will relentlessly punish the opponent's weakest card one turn after the other. With the line-up set up this way, I'll be able to take advantage of his ability for several turns and I'll be able to exploit it continuously throughout the fight.

Mi estrategia para este combate es ocultar a Deeplurker en una maraña de cartas para que pueda hacer daño durante mucho tiempo. Por delante esta especialmente protegido con tres cartas con mucha vida y poder y, por detrás, dos cartas que recibirán poco ataque de tal manera que Deeplurker y su habilidad Opportunity van a ir castigando sin descanso a la carta más débil del rival un turno tras otro. Con la alineación establecida de esta manera voy a poder aprovechar su habilidad durante varios turno y podré explotarla de manera continúa a lo largo de todo el combate.

LINK TO THE BATTLE

The surprise I get when I look at my opponent's line-up is twofold. On the one hand you have the combo Llama + Kron the Undying, which is scary at first. Although if you look closely at the line-up you can see that my opponent makes a mistake by not putting Kron in the last position. It's true that maybe his strategy is to protect him from my possible attacks on the last position, but it's not the ideal way to use this very powerful combo. Even with the initial surprise, my lineup performs so extremely well that I'm able to get a relatively easy win despite the presence of these two great cards in the opponent's lineup.

La sorpresa que me llevo al observar la alineación de mi rival es doble. Por un lado te encuentras el combo Llama + Kron the Undying, lo cual ya asusta de primeras. Aunque si te fijas bien en la alineación puedes observa que el rival comete un error al no colocar a Kron en la última posición. Bien es cierto que quizá su estrategia sea protegerlo de mis posibles ataques a la última posición, pero no es la forma ideal de utilizar este poderosísimo combo. Aún con la sorpresa inicial, mi alineación rinde tan sumamente bien que puedo conseguir una victoria relativamente fácil a pesar de la presencia de estas dos magníficas cartas en la alineación rival.

Opportunity is one of the most interesting skills among the, so to speak, "common" skills. It's easy to play this ability in all decks because of the number of cards that provide it. It's also an ability that works very well in low mana battles and in those battles where we want to get rid of those low life but annoying cards like Scavo Hireling and his shield recovery as quickly as possible. Opportunity, in short, is an ability that I always try to have in my lineups for all of these reasons. A must-have.

Opportunity es una de las habilidades más interesante dentro de las habilidades, por así decirlo, "comunes". Es fácil poder jugar esta habilidad en todos los mazos por la cantidad de cartas que la aportan. Además es una habilidad que rinde muy bien en batallas de poco maná y en aquellas batallas en las que nos interese eliminar lo antes posible esas cartas de poca vida pero molestas como Scavo Hireling y su recuperación de escudo. Opportunity, en resumen, es una habilidad que intento tener siempre en mis alineaciones por todas estas razones. Imprescindible.
