Depois de abordar os **[Impactos da edição Rebellion](https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@underlock/impacts-of-rebellion-on-splinterlands "rebellion")** na economia do **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock "splinterlands")** no meu último post, chegou a hora de analisar as novas habilidades anunciadas e o quão impactantes elas estão. Essas adições são totalmente bem vindas e vão adicionar muitas estratégias bem interessantes para o jogo apesar de ainda não haver muitas cartas reveladas que vão possuir essas habilidades.

<center>[![Fonte.](https://i.imgur.com/McUrP3z.jpg)](https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/the-rebellion-is-coming)</center>

Essas foram as 4 habilidades anunciadas no post oficial do **@splinterlands** que adicionam novas mecânicas e possibilidades de estratégias que poderão ser elaboradas em suas partidas. Esses são seus efeitos, respectivamente:

```
- Armored Strike - Qualquer unidade com essa habilidade ganha um ataque corpo à corpo adicional usando sua estatística de Armadura.

- Corrosive Ward - Quando acertar um ataque corpo à corpo, uma unidade com essa habilidade causa 2 de dano à Armadura do atacante E reduz a Armadura máxima do atacante em 2.

- Flank - Se a unidade com essa habilidade estiver na primeira posição, então a unidade na segunda posição ganha a habilidade Reach.

- Lookout - Uma unidade com essa habilidade resulta em aliados adjacentes recebendo um dano a menos de atacantes com as habilidades Sneak, Snipe e Opportunity.

A **Armored Strike** https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/underlock/AKKSAKJpJkqq7BCp1s8RjCvgEipLWs1hFdVFGXyeQ1R9u1JQASx6N7kcnaFv1p6.png tem o potencial de ser a melhor habilidade dentre as novas, dependendo exclusivamente das cartas que possuírem essa habilidade *(não adianta ter uma habilidade forte em cartas com péssimas estatísticas né?)*. Ela comba perfeitamente com a habilidade **Protect** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_protect.png e a regra **Armored Up** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/6/63/Combat-rule_armored-up.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022 e tem o potencial de criar um monstro com altíssima capacidade de causar dano utilizando a armadura. Como o ataque adicional obrigatoriamente é corpo à corpo, você também tirará bastante proveito de regras como **Equal Opportunity** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/f4/Combat-rule_equal-opportunity.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022, **Melee Mayhem** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/7/71/Combat-rule_melee-mayhem.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209075102 e **Super Sneak** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/e/e1/Combat-rule_super-sneak.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209075100.

Mas é claro que não deixariam essa carta reinar facilmente nos campos de batalha, justamente por isso foi lançada também a habilidade **Corrosive Ward** https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/underlock/AKHyh5dPCvivF8Kp2qnRYA4DdWnqtiHmXKgaAXmsJw6oBLqqAakF43EmUzWuubH.png para counterar a armadura e todas as habilidades que se apoiam nesse recurso. Além de ser um ótimo counter para a **Armored Strike**, a corrosão também será extremamente efetiva contra as composições focadas em **Repair** https://i.imgur.com/qgoXFmp.png ou com muitas proteções utilizando invocadores como o **Grandmaster Rathe** para proteger o time. Apesar dessa habilidade parecer interessante, é difícil utilizá-la com eficiência e você dependerá do oponente possuir muita armadura para ter certeza que este efeito funcionará por completo.

https://images.hive.blog/600x600/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/underlock/23wMTux8aZuaJwbsX4k6Ku7GerVv1CMAcoGiFYBwFbc4fYLzNFQkoNuyJsXGGjo3LVXWS.png

Já as habilidades **Flank** e **Lookout** é bastante difícil opinar. As habilidades são de fato úteis, porém só serão efetivas se as cartas que possuírem essas habilidades combinarem com elas. De nada adiantará uma carta com pouca vida e armadura possuindo a habilidade **Flank** se ela não conseguirá sobreviver adequadamente na primeira posição, da mesma forma uma carta com ataque corpo à corpo com **Lookout** mas sem outras habilidades de suporte seria praticamente inútil durante boa parte do jogo afinal para essa habilidade funcionar perfeitamente você deverá colocá-la na quinta posição para proteger sua última carta de ataques **Sneak** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_sneak.png e sua carta com menor vida de ataques **Opportunity** https://i.imgur.com/Q1B0ANl.png.

Vamos aguardar o anúncio de novas cartas para depois avaliar se as opções de cartas com essa habilidade são interessantes ou não. De qualquer forma as duas primeiras habilidades são muito boas e vão ganhar espaço em muitas composições, provavelmente impactando na frequência com que estratégias focada em proteção serão utilizadas *(positivamente ou negativamente dependendo de como o meta se adequar à inclusão dessas habilidades*. O que você achou das novas habilidades que estão chegando junto com a edição Rebellion? Consegue enxergar espaço para elas dentro das suas partidas de **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock "splinterlands")**?

<div class="text-justify">

After addressing the **[Impacts of the Rebellion Edition](https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@underlock/impacts-of-rebellion-on-splinterlands "rebellion")** on the **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock "splinterlands")** economy in my last post, it's time to analyze the newly announced abilities and how impactful they are. These additions are very welcome and will introduce many interesting strategies to the game, although there haven't been many cards revealed yet that will possess these abilities.

<center>[![Source.](https://i.imgur.com/McUrP3z.jpg)](https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/the-rebellion-is-coming)</center>

These are the 4 abilities announced in the official post by **@splinterlands** that add new mechanics and strategy possibilities for your matches. Here are their effects, respectively:

```
- Armored Strike - Any unit with this ability gains an ADDITIONAL Melee attack using its Armor stat.

- Corrosive Ward - When hit with a Melee attack, a unit with this ability does 2 damage to the attacker's Armor AND reduces the max Armor of the attacker by 2.

- Flank - If the unit with this ability is in the first position, then the unit in the second position gains the Reach ability.

- Lookout - A unit with this ability results in adjacent allies taking one less damage from attackers with Sneak, Snipe, and Opportunity.

**Armored Strike** https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/underlock/AKKSAKJpJkqq7BCp1s8RjCvgEipLWs1hFdVFGXyeQ1R9u1JQASx6N7kcnaFv1p6.png has the potential to be the best among the new abilities, depending entirely on the cards that possess it *(It's no use having a strong ability in cards with terrible stats, right?)*. It combines perfectly with the **Protect** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_protect.png ability and the **Armored Up** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/6/63/Combat-rule_armored-up.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022 rule and has the potential to create a monster with a high capacity for dealing damage using armor. Since the additional attack is mandatory melee, you'll also benefit from rules like **Equal Opportunity** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/f4/Combat-rule_equal-opportunity.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022, **Melee Mayhem** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/7/71/Combat-rule_melee-mayhem.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209075102 and **Super Sneak** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/e/e1/Combat-rule_super-sneak.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209075100.

Of course, they wouldn't let this ability reign easily on the battlefields; that's why the **Corrosive Ward** https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/underlock/AKHyh5dPCvivF8Kp2qnRYA4DdWnqtiHmXKgaAXmsJw6oBLqqAakF43EmUzWuubH.png ability was also introduced to counter armor and all abilities that rely on this resource. Besides being a great counter for **Armored Strike**, corrosion will also be extremely effective against compositions focused on **Repair** https://i.imgur.com/qgoXFmp.png or with many protections using summoners like **Grandmaster Rathe** to protect the team. Although this ability seems interesting, it's difficult to use it efficiently, and you'll depend on the opponent having a lot of armor to be sure this effect will work fully.

https://images.hive.blog/600x600/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/underlock/23wMTux8aZuaJwbsX4k6Ku7GerVv1CMAcoGiFYBwFbc4fYLzNFQkoNuyJsXGGjo3LVXWS.png

As for the **Flank** and **Lookout** abilities, it's quite challenging to give an opinion. These abilities are indeed useful, but they will only be effective if the cards possessing them match well. It won't help if a card with low life and armor has the **Flank** ability if it can't survive properly in the first position. Similarly, a melee attack card with **Lookout** but without other support abilities would be almost useless for most of the game. After all, for this ability to work perfectly, you should place it in the fifth position to protect your last card from **Sneak** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_sneak.png attacks and your card with the lowest life from **Opportunity** https://i.imgur.com/Q1B0ANl.png attacks.

Let's wait for the announcement of new cards to evaluate whether the options of cards with these abilities are interesting or not. In any case, the first two abilities are very good and will find a place in many compositions, probably impacting the frequency with which protection-focused strategies are used *(positively or negatively, depending on how the meta adapts to the inclusion of these abilities)*. What do you think of the new abilities that are coming with the Rebellion edition? Can you see room for them in your **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock "splinterlands")** matches?
