Final Thoughts
The following is my first impressions of the stats and abilities of the fire splinter. I have yet to review any of the others, so this analysis will be pretty bare bones and mostly stating the obvious. After I have gone through each splinter I will be doing another more indepth analysis about their strengths and weaknesses.
Hard Hitting
With the majority of the cards being melee fighters, and a summoner who amplifies their attack by one, the fire splinter is probably going to be the king of melee combat. Being able to double up on cards with the blast and retaliate ability will have you melting through enemys. This Splinter also features a card with enrage and trample for the ultimate hard hitting team.
Hard to Hit
Not only is the fire splinter made up of hard hitters, it is also hard to hit. With a total of 3 flyers and 2 dodgers (one of which also has fly) you can easily create a team that will dance around your opponents attacks.
Call to Action
If you found this post helpful, or would like to see other splinters, then please consider leaving a follow. I plan on discussing steem monsters a lot and figuring out the optimal strategies. I am still new to the game myself, so these posts will become better as I learn more about the game. The next post in this series will be discussing the water splinter.
