Commander Slade | Splinterlands

Commander Slade is one of my favorite Rebellion cards and I can say that he is my favorite especially against physical attacks, he can do amazing things in battles. Commander Slade is a Rare Water Unit card that has the Enfeeble Ability and Dodge Ability at level 1, the Deflect Ability at level 5 and the Backfire Ability at level 8. And it costs 10 mana.

• Enfeeble Ability : -1 to target's melee power after each successful attack.


• Dodge Ability : +25% chance to evade physical attacks.


• Deflect Ability : 0 damage from Corrosive Ward, Magic Reflect, Thorns, Return Fire, and Blast splash damage.


• Backfire Ability : When an enemy unit misses, deals 2 physical damage to them.

Commander Slade has really powerful abilities and can be very effective against physical attacks, especially against melee attack units, and I would like to say that it can be much more effective when used with a good strategy. Let's examine how useful Commander Slade can be in the battle below.

Battle Link

According to the ruleset of the battle, all Units will have the Sneak Ability and Rebirth Ability, and only Rare and Common units can be summoned. In this battle, Melee Attack Units will be able to attack no matter what position they are in, so I added Units with melee attacks to my team, I knew that my opponent would also prefer Units with melee attacks, I can say that I determined my strategy accordingly.

The battle lasted 11 rounds and all units on the opposing team were destroyed twice and my team managed to win the battle. At the end of the battle, 5 Units from my team managed to survive, only Venari Marksrat from my team was destroyed twice, which was already part of my strategy. My strategy worked very well in this battle, even though the opposing team was stronger, my team won the battle quite easily. My Commander Slade card is at level 4, I really want to upgrade it to the max level. For example, if he had the Backfire Ability in this battle, defeating the opposing team would become incredibly easy because when an enemy Unit misses a Unit with the Backfire Ability, they will take 2 physical damage, which is exactly why I really want to level it up to level 8. Commander Slade gains the Backfire ability at level 8.
