Check out this Splinterlands battle from my Brawls from today:
https://splinterlands.com/battle/sm_v987JkplJy5WZBlJtwoW?ref=guyman
My Olivia of The Brook mimicked quite a few abilities here...
She collected Slow, Tank Heal, Heal, Strengthen, Double Strike, Void and Piercing for a split second, but this final ability gained never got a chance to be utilised.
After being defeated, Olivia was resurrected (as per the ruleset for each unit), unfortunately with all of her gained abilities lost. However, she manage to regain Double Strike, Slow and Heal again until her demise.
When observing how well Olivia and Uriel were doing as a team, I really thought I was in for a chance of victory for a short while. My opponent clearly had a superior line-up.
Your victory was well-deserved 🙇Well done @bxd2 from Splintergods -
I wonder if the new set will have more cards with mimic ability.
I've also wondered this and believe there will be.
My perspective was that it could even improve the value.
Perhaps any new card(s) with Mimic will bring new players to seek out Olivia's for sale. :D :D I had this discussion last night with @killerdragon24 and we chatted whether this may reduce the price of Olivia cards or not. For instance, when I perceived the value and use cases of certain abilities I was battling with in Splinterlands, I started searching on @peak-monsters (PeakMonsters.com) for all cards with said ability and was incentivized to buy older cards with the same type.
