Intro

No one truly knows where it originated from, but the consensus remains the same: They wish the Spirit Hoarder would return and no longer blight the Splinterlands with its wicked presence.



Well for me it definitely needs to stay here. Spirit Hoarder one of my favorite monster, love to play it and often. Since I start playing splinterlands this is the first monster with traige for me.
I like the spirit hoarder especially when there is equalize rule set, because it has not that much health.

THEME: SPIRIT HOARDER

Edition: CHAOS LEGION
Rarity: LEGENDARY
Element: NEUTRAL
Attack: MAGIC
Abilities: Triage, Dispel and Blind

Stats

Mine is at level 2 I want it to upgrade to level 3. My strategy is first common/rare on gold level then legendary or epics that I need. This is definitely on my whish list.
Mine now only has gained dispel. IMO not the best ability but just buffed to remove also bloodlust.

Strategy

First thoughts is not to many melee monsters. Monsters with reflection shield /shield to reduce thorns damage are possible
This might be a nice opportunity to use the spirit hoarder because it is magic.

Rulesets

Silenced Summoners:
Summoner buffs/De-buffs are disabled

Briar Patch:
All monster have the thorns ability. This makes to be careful with melee monster because they will get up to 2 return damage.

What Does not Kill You:
All monsters have the enrage ability. Has increased Melee attack and Speed when damaged. Increases stats 1.5x, rounded up

The Lineup

Summoner

CardReason
My beloved Lux I love this summoner.
Last week also consider it to sell her, because it has raised in price 800$.
Which could help me complete my gold CL monsters.
The doubt is there until then I like to play her as often is i can 😍

Monsters Lineup

#1#2#3#4#5#6

Baakjira (lvl 3)
I expect some magic monster due to the briar patch rule set so therefor Baakjira to protect the front line.


Deeplurker (lvl 8)
Melee and heavy hitter in the second position so it can be healed by the triage monsters


Runi (lvl 3)
Runi with the reflection shield so the briar patch will not hurt it and is less expected by my opponent I think.


Spirit Hoarder (lvl 2)
Star of this week. Triage is important in this strategie it heals second monster or the last monster both are beneficial.
It is squishy so when there are opportunity monster this will get first. Then again opportunity is less likely to be chosen because of the briar patch.


Angelic Mandarin (lvl 6)
Another Triage monster ranged attack so one more position in the back after the spirit hoarder


Wave Brood (lvl 4)
Backline protector with high health. so the triage monster have time to heal him up again.

Rounds


Start :

Interesting lineup, I have some protect against the magic monster but will the speed difference kill me?
I love to see that there are no opportunity monster so my Spirit Hoarder will not bee targeted and he can start healing the Deeplurker and Wave brood


Round 1:

image.png
Reflection shield is working on the Runi. Poison landed on the venari wavesmith. Spirit Hoarder is healing. Strategy is playing out.
Their healer is down this must be a walk in the park now.


Round 2:

image.png
Double Triage is working like a charm in this battle. Only risk it the cripple is still draining health from my Wave brood


Round 3:

Even with all the misses my monsters do.
I have no doubt that I will win this battle.


Round 4:

image.png
Spirit hoarder and Angelic Mandarin keeps on healing my opponent cannot kill one. Also the healing power of Baakjira is enough to stay alive.


Round 5:

image.png
What a healing power. It is over now a ranged monster is in the front. With my attacking power just on more round


Round 6:

image.png
Dominated this battle, all monster are full health due to the double triage and heal of baakjira

Conclusion

It was my pleasure to demonstrate the double triage with heal strategy.
There is also one I want to try out in upcoming days.
This is because I just purchased a level 3

Other battles to showoff the spirit hoarder:

Even that my opponent got a level 3 Spirit Hoarder it is win for me.
This is nice battle where the equalizer rule set is in play.

Another triage and heal strategy, a bit tricky to place my taunt monster in the middle, possible hurting a lot when blast monsters were used.
