Card Spotlight: Clam Slash

In this article, I’ll be putting the spotlight on the Aqua card, “Clam Slash.”

As of October 2021, this card has 110 base damage, 40 shields, and costs 1 energy. It also grants the user Attack+ if they attack a Beast, Bug, or Mech target.

How Is It Used?

Clam Slash is a high-damage Aquatic horn card. It’s mainly used for applying Attack+ on the user so its next attack deals 20% more damage.

It’s also a good substitute card if you don’t have Star Shuriken or Hero’s Bane in terms of damage. Other players also use this card defensively because of its high shields.

What Kind of Axies/Teams Use It?

Most of the Axies I encounter that use this card are Aquas, but it may be possible for other classes to use it, especially if they deal reduced damage to Beasts, Bugs, and Mechs.

Personally, I’d rather put it on an Aqua. Even though they don’t need the extra damage against the aforementioned classes (they already hold the class advantage), it’s still a pretty decent damage card. It also has decent shields that can come in handy in 1v1 situations.

Pros and Cons

Pros

high damage and good shields
can gain Attack+

Cons

Star Shuriken and Hero’s Bane deal slightly more damage

Card Synergies

Crimson Water, Scale Dart, and Water Sphere
These cards have 120 base damage and could potentially deal more if paired with the Attack+ from Clam Slash

Angry Lam
Angry Lam’s effect could deal devastating damage if the user has Attack+

Upstream Swim, Swift Escape
These cards could be paired with Clam Slash and another high-damage mouth card to create a traditional Aqua build

Fish Hook
Having Risky Fish in your arsenal could help you get more Attack+ buffs and let you deal damage against stronger classes
