A Powerful Ally for the Reverse Speed ​​Rule

Today I'm going to talk about the Frost Giant, so join me on this brief journey of knowledge in Splinterlands.

The Frost Giant is a card you'll rarely see in battles nowadays because it's not commonly used by players, but in the past it was a brilliant choice for many players.

This is a legendary card from the Water deck, and its main advantage is being a powerful ally in the Reverse Speed ​​rule.

Reverse Speed: During the Reverse Speed ​​Modifier, Units with the lowest speed attack first and have the highest chance to evade attacks.

In the image I showed of the Frost Giant card, you can see that it only has 1 attack speed, so it's the perfect card to use in the Reverse Speed ​​rule, but it has the Slow ability which isn't useful in this rule.

Let's learn about the Frost Giant abilities: Shield, Trample, Slow, and Stun.

Shield: 50% less damage (rounded up) from physical attacks or 0 damage from physical attacks of 1 power.

This ability is very useful for receiving less damage against melee and ranged attacks.

Trample: After using a melee attack to defeat a unit, performs another melee attack against the unit in the next position.

This is a great ability to deal even more damage in battle.

Slow: -1 speed to all enemy units.

This is a great ability but doesn't combine well with the Reverse Speed ​​rule.

Stun: 50% chance to apply Stunned for one round after a successful attack. Stunned units skip their turn and cannot retaliate.

Reducing the actions of enemy monsters helps a lot in battle.

The Frost Giant may have been amazing in the past, but it's still a great choice today.

Now let's take a look at the Frost Giant in battle.

Watch The Battle

I couldn't get any cards with the Reverse Speed ​​rule, so I'll use this battle as an example. In it, the Frost Giant's Shield ability was very useful for defending against melee and ranged attacks.

A strategy I like to use when I have the Frost Giant is to choose a summoner that grants armor, thus increasing the card's defenses and making it harder to defeat.

Now I'll talk about the Arcade Colony platform. On it, you'll find the games: Splinterlands, Moon Karts, StakeHouse Den, and Genesis League Goals.
