New Splinterlands Ability #11 : Last Word

For the beginning, I want to remind for those who unaware of the newest series that has launched on Splinterlands, you can check the post from Splinterlands team about the conclave arcana on https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@splinterlands/introducing-conclave-arcana, there you will find that many new abilities are introduced to the game within the conclave arcana.

Around a week since conclave arcana finally launch, now let's analyze the abilities that getting introduced, so we can have the early start either to create a tactics or get the good cards with cheaper price when people is still unaware of how good they are!

Today, we move to Last Word Ability.

Let's take a look at the ability's description :

Last Word: Provides immunity to Final Rest (allied and enemy abilities that trigger on defeat cannot activate).

And if we take a look at https://support.splinterlands.com/hc/en-us/articles/36785306308244-Last-Word , there are several points explained:

• Last Word can be Mimicked.
• Units with Last Word are only blocked from the Final Rest ability themselves.
  On-death abilities will not function on other units, even if they are on the same team.
• Last Word cannot be Exposed, Dispelled, or removed in any way

This last word is having the immunity from getting dispelled and can't removed in any way. It also can be mimicked by monster that have the mimick ability. The last word only work for the monsters who have the ability, so the rest will still getting the final rest effect if there is final rest on the match.

This is interesting because new ability, the final rest is getting it's counter immediately on the same series (sometimes, the counter of an ability will come on the next series, so it can have a super effect). It will be great if a summoner can having this buff, so all the team can have the after death effect and immune from the final rest from the enemies.

As summary, last word will giving more variation on strategy because this ability will give a counter for the final rest ability. This way, final rest can't dominate the game as the new ability, because opponent can still get immune of that effect by having the last word.
