The Look That Makes You Fall in Love: Golden Armor and Dragon Fury

Look at him! Dar 'Gottem' is pure energy and power in a shiny package, referring to his incredible golden armor.

• Style: He wears golden armor that makes him look like a legendary hero, with a helmet that resembles a dragon's head. It's the perfect armor for a champion! The truth is that this design is absolutely incredible. I love it, and I couldn't pass up the chance to share this card with its truly sublime design.

• Armament: He wields a giant spiked hammer, which he obviously uses to demolish his enemies. What's more, this hammer has golden details that go incredibly well with his armor, a detail that doesn't escape my eyes and that I really appreciate on the part of the Splinterlands design team.

• Contrast: Despite being a Gnome, his armor makes him look gigantic and imposing. It's a design that screams "I am the hero!"

Key Abilities: The Progression of a Champion

1. Trample - From Level 1!
   • Effect: If you destroy a monster, attack again immediately.
   • This is brutal! With its high number of hit points, it can wipe out the enemy team if it manages to defeat the first monster.
2. Flank - From Level 2!
   • Effect: If you have this card in the 1st position, the second card gains the "Reach" ability.
   • Strategy: Double Stab: By placing two strong monsters in the first two positions, you essentially give your tank an extra attack.
3. Inspire - From Level 3!
   • Effect: Gives all your monsters +1 Physical Attack.
   • The Commander: It becomes a massive support, enhancing its own Trample, which can be quite dangerous.
4. Void - From Level 4!
   • Effect: Reduces damage from magic attacks by half.
   • The Final Wall: At the maximum level, it is resistant to almost all types of damage, and its health points make it the most powerful tank of all.

When is it best and worst to use it?

Dar 'Gottem' is designed to dominate battles where a lot of Mana is allowed and where you can take advantage of the synergy of the "Melee" attack type.

Golden Rules (Where It Shines and Dominates) ✅

• High Mana Rulesets (60+ Mana): Its cost of 14 becomes irrelevant, and its high health (20-25) makes it the best possible tank.

• Melee Mayhem: Your best rule! It allows Trample to be activated from the first position, and its Inspire ability (Level 3) boosts your entire "Melee" team, so this can be fatal for your opponent, especially given the strength of our card.

• Equalizer: If all allied monsters gained the same health points as our card, it would be incredible—they would be practically invincible.

• Explosive Weaponry: His enormous Health and Armor allow him to withstand Blast damage better than anyone else, so in addition to being an offensive weapon, he can serve very well as a shield in this rule for "Defense."

Rules of Care (Where the Hammer Falls) ❌

• Low Mana Rulesets (12-20 Mana): Its cost of 14 is too high and will leave you without mana for the rest of the team.

• Aim True: Eliminates attack failure, which is a problem if used by really strong attackers of any kind, especially if the mana cost of the battle is really high.

• Back to Basics: The worst rule! It disables all of his abilities. It leaves him as a simple tank with no strategic value, and although his health points will serve as "Defense," his high mana cost can quickly knock you out.
