Hello, everyone today I will discuss the new reward card Night Reaper from Splinterlands which you can get by using Glint Shop.
Disclaimer :
This discussion may only suit someone with limited resources/who can't rent or buy expensive/strong cards. I only have a standard card in my scholar account, Chaos Legion card or older, and I rent several cheap cards like Arkemis the Bear, Doctor Blight, etc. I battle in the Diamond League.
Night Reaper Ability
| Ability | Description |
|---|---|
 | Flying ability, increase the chance to evade the enemy attack by 25%. |
 | Wing Break ability, always hit the unit with the Flying ability first regardless of abilities or ruleset. It means it will ignore abilities like the Taunt ability and keep attacking the enemy with the Flying ability or if the enemy unit has the Flying ability and Camouflage ability it will still hit it. If Night Reaper moves to the first position and the enemy has a unit with Flying ability in the 2nd position it keeps attacking the enemy in the 2nd position and ignoring the enemy unit in the first position. |
 | Reflection Shield ability, this unit doesnt take damage from Blast, Magic Reflect, Thorns, or Return Fire ability. |
 | Last Stand ability, gains 50% to all stats if it's the only unit on the team alive. |
Note :
This unit is a magic damage unit from the Dragon element, the ability above will show all at level 6/max level, I only have this unit at level 3 but already good enough to battle in the Diamond level.
Rulesets Compatible With This Unit
 | Earthquake, all non-flying units take 2 physical damage at the end of every turn. Night Reaper is a unit with the Flying ability so it's immune from the damage. |
 | Explosive Weaponry, all units gain the Blast ability. Blast ability does additional damage to monsters adjacent to the target monster, additional damage is equivalent to main damage divided by 2, rounded up. Night Reaper has Reflection Shield ability so this unit is immune to the Blast effect. |
The Battle Using This Card
I will show the battle showing the capability of Wing Break and Reflection Shield ability.
Battle using Night Reaper. , I'm using BLTZ-WIZARD-710, battle in the Diamond league :
 | Close Range, monsters with range attacks can attack from the first position. |
 | Holy Protection, all monsters have Divine Shield ability. Divine Shield ability, the first attack on the monster will not give damage. |
In this battle, Night Reaper always attacks the Adelade Brightwing who has Flying ability although the enemy brings Iziar unit with the Taunt ability (force the enemy unit to attack this unit if they can). Our Angelic Mandarin and River Nymph always attack Iziar while our Chaos Dragon randomly attacks the enemy unit because have Scattershot ability.
Our Night Reaper has difficulty killing the Adelade because the Holy Protection ruleset and Repair ability from Adelade (the enemy summoner Grandmaster Rathe makes the magic attack must destroy the armor first before can decrease the health). Until at round four finally, our Night Reaper can hit the Adelade who has 5 health and immediately kill it (Night Reaper with the Wing Break ability increase the damage from 3 to 5)
When this unit reaches maximum level
- Night Reaper have Last Stand ability, in the Explosive Weaponry ruleset we can place this unit (5th position) in front of a unit that has the Taunt ability (6th position) such as:
So this unit can activate the Last Stand ability when it becomes the last unit alive. - This unit will have 4 magic damage, when it hits a unit that has Flying ability the damage will increase and become 6.
Conclusion
In the battle example above, we managed to win the match because:
The presence of Reflection Shield ability so that the attack from Mantaroth due to the Blast ability which has great damage was successfully blocked by Night Reaper.
The killing of Adelade by Night Reaper resulted in the loss of units that had the Repair ability, this ability makes it difficult for us to kill enemy units with our magic-type units. It also reduces the effectiveness of the Martyr ability from Iziar who died in the 12th round, no one revived him.
Night Reaper actually not only killed Adelade who had the Flying ability but also Olivia of The Brook. It's just that Night Reaper starts attacking this unit when in round 10 Olivia gets the Flying ability:
Olivia has a unique ability called Mimic, which randomly at the beginning of the round starting from round 2 will get the ability from the enemy unit and when attacked by an enemy unit will also get the ability from the attacker randomly. This unit makes it difficult for us to kill Iziar because he has the Triage ability that restores Iziar's health every round. This unit will be even more dangerous when the battle lasts a long time, with the many buffs and debuffs obtained.If we suspect that the enemy will use a unit with Flying ability that has the ability or damage that can determine victory, we can use this unit to attack them.
