Sometimes it’s the quiet cards that surprise you the most. In Splinterlands, not every game is won by pure damage or brute force. Some wins come from timing, positioning, and just staying alive one turn longer. I’ve always liked units that feel like they “do more than one thing,” and this card fits right into that playstyle.

Lore

The trackers of the Conclave Arcana are employed not for their magic, but for their instincts. Hunters. Pathfinders. Survivors. Each has followed trails through the worst Praetoria has to offer—volcanic ridges, treacherous jungles, haunted swamps—and come out the other side with their mark in tow.

Now they’ve been tasked with finding the greatest mark of all: the secret of Praetoria.

Stats

Conclave Tracker is a well-rounded magic unit with strong stats and abilities. Actually, this is somewhat my grief that in Conclave Arcana, I feel like every single unit have good stats. Anyways, Conclave Tracker has 4 speed and 2 magic attack make it fast and reliable, and the 4 armor plus 7 health gives it decent survivability in battles. With a mix of good attacking ability (Opportunity), support (Repair), and survivability potential (Phase), I think this unit works best in almost all of the lineups especially if your main focus for defense is using armor like those units with Void Armor.

Abilities

Icon	Name	Description
	Opportunity	Units with the Opportunity ability may attack from any position and will target the enemy Unit with the lowest health.
		is a match because Trample works well with Opportunity because the ability targets low-health units, making it easier to trigger Trample kills. This combo helps you clean up weak enemies faster and possibly chain multiple takedowns in one round especially in Stampede rule.
		is a counter because Taunt disables the normal targeting from Opportunity, forcing this unit to hit the Taunt unit instead of weaker units. That completely removes the targeting advantage, making Opportunity feel wasted in that battle.

	Repair	Restores a third of max armor to the friendly Unit whose armor has taken the most damage.
		is a match because Protect boosts the team’s armor, which lets Repair keep doing its job longer by restoring that extra buffer. With both active, you can stall longer against teams that rely on melee and ranged attacks chipping down your front.
		is a counter because Rust permanently reduces armor at the start of battle, which means there's nothing left for Repair to fix if the armor went past 1. This makes your armor-focused strategy weaker if the enemies has multiple units with Rust ability.

	Phase	Magic attacks can miss this Unit (using the same hit/miss calculation as Melee and Ranged attacks).
		is a match because Blind increases the chance that enemy attacks miss, and with Phase, magic attacks can also miss, giving Conclave Tracker a better chance to survive. These two together create a really good synergy for an anti-magic protection that you can get to keep Conclave Tracker alive.
		is a counter because True Strike bypasses all miss mechanics, making Phase completely useless against enemies with guaranteed hits. When you’re counting on evasion and it doesn’t work, Conclave Tracker ends up feeling fragile fast.

Good Rules to Consider

Icon	Name	Reason
	Keep Your Distance	Units with Melee attack may not be used in battles.
		This rule limits the choices for both of you and disables all melee units. Conclave Tracker is non-melee so she is safe. Opportunity still works for magic attackers, giving Conclave Tracker strong backline pressure without melee threats. This lets you bypass frontline Void blockers and go straight for weak enemies even without Sneak or Snipe.
	Armored Up	All Units have 2 Armor in addition to their normal Armor stat.
		Extra armor boosts the value of Repair and keeps the unit in play longer. Conclave Tracker starts with 4 armor already, so with Armored Up and Protect, he becomes a mini-tank. Not to mention that Conclave Tracker is a magic attack unit which means her attacks passes through armor as well.
	Weak Magic	Magic attacks hit Armor before reducing Health.
		While this rule hinders your attacks with Conclave Tracker and other magic attack units, this still helps your team by making your tanks more durable. This combo of Conclave Tracker will be more effective if you can find a Taunt unit with high armor.

Bad Rules to Think Twice

Icon	Name	Reason
	Noxious Fumes	All Units start the battle Poisoned.
		No Immunity or cleanse makes it hard for Conclave Tracker to stay alive. He might last longer than others due to her decent health, but poison will eventually wear her down and kill her.
	Explosive Weaponry	All units have Blast (deals an additional 50% damage to units adjacent to the target, rounded up).
		Enemy units triggers backline splash damage because of Blast that leads to faster armor loss, and Conclave Tracker's Repair may not keep up. It's especially bad when facing enemies with multiple attacks making her role much more significant.
	Unprotected	Units do not have any armor and do not get armor from Abilities or Summoner Buffs.
		Removes armor completely, eliminating both the benefit and target of Repair. In this rule, Tracker loses half her identity and becomes just a squishy low attack magic caster and that 8 mana is now not justified for what she can offer in that battle.

Battle

Link to battle

Normally, I would've lost this battle. The reason I won is because of Bera Dallin and Fithe Bladestone. My Archon's Dwarf Bloodline allows me to play Bera Dallin, who is a Life element unit, while playing with Fire. The Void given by Bloodline Dominion also worked really well with her and the extra armor made her Armored Strike really strong. Unfortunately, since my enemies aren't using a lot of melee back lines, I wasn't able to show Conclave Tracker's charm but if they did, the Repair would keep Bera Dallin's armor up keeping that Armored Strike attacks really high.
