Social Media Challenge: Possibilus The Wise

Hello Splinterfam! I'm back again for the weekly Social Media Challenge. For this week's challenge I decided to share my take on the new Legendary Summoner which was recently airdropped Possibilus The Wise. If you are new here, I only play on Silver League Modern Format so more likely the strategy/content I would be mostly sharing is for Silver only. Now let's talk about Posibillus The Wise.

• Lore

Possibilus the Wise is a leviathan from the future that has adapted to rule on both land and sea. His mission is to find and secure the lost sacred rune tablets of his race that were shattered into pieces and strewn across time and space by the entity known only as Desolation. In his present time, a war rages on his home world of Nyuuldus, but Possibilus was tasked with traveling into the past and the future to find these runestone fragments and return with them to defeat Desolation.

When the Chaos Legion opened its rift, many of the fragments were cast through the dimensions and scattered across the Splinterlands. Possibilus followed, opening his own portal through time and space. Upon his arrival, he was attacked by the Chaos Legion forces, and members of the guild Team Possible came to his aid. However, the portal Possibilus created was destroyed during the attack. Now, he has offered his considerable strength in fighting against the invaders in return for assistance locating his precious runestones. With each one he finds, his power grows. His only hope is to find enough to harness the power capable of creating a portal to return to Nyuuldus and save his race.

Possibilus the Wise has formidable psionic powers, which include psychokinesis and telepathy. When he enters battle, his runic armor glows and his runic disc spins, emitting a disorienting light. He then attacks with his psychokinetic power and ferocious bite and talons while communicating telepathically with his allies to lead them to victory.
The frigid wind howled as it blustered through the valley, and Warren Taurix wrapped his fur-lined cloak tightly around himself, shivering. The night was filled by shadows cast by a pale sliver of moon.

When the veil shrouding Praetoria was lifted, the guild known as Team Possible decided unanimously to relocate their hall and its surrounding buildings–including their arena–to this newly uncovered continent. Architects employed by the Order of the Scale oversaw the deconstruction of the guild’s stronghold, its transport across the Splinter Sea, and its reconstruction on Praetoria. It was pricey, especially considering the amount of labor required to complete the move so quickly, but Team Possible was one of the most prestigious guilds in all the Splinterlands, and its coffers easily covered the cost. Besides, the convenience of being so close to Mount Mox and its tournaments more than made up for the expenditure.

However, following the Chaos Legion invasion, Team Possible found themselves isolated and alone, fighting off assaults from legionnaires, dragons, and other eldritch beasts. They began to wonder if the price would turn out to be much higher… not in Dark Energy Crystals, but in the blood and lives of their members.

Now, Warren stood atop the battlements surrounding the Team Possible stronghold. He and a handful of others were on night watch, prepared to alert the guild in the event of another Chaos Legion assault. He squinted into the darkness, searching for any sign of approaching danger.

A star twinkled in the sky high above. No, not a star. It traced its path much too quickly, growing brighter and larger as it descended from the heavens. On the far side of the valley, the forest was lit by its glow. A contingent of Chaos Legion soldiers burst from the treeline. Dragons took flight. The object slammed into the valley with a thunderous crash, sending a cloud of earth and foliage into the air. Its light winked out, and by the light of the moon, the Chaos Legion advanced toward the site of impact.

Warren didn’t know what the object was, but he knew if the Chaos Legion wanted it, Team Possible would not let them have it. He rang the massive steel gong that hung suspended above the battlements. As its knell resounded, the gates of the stronghold swung open, and members of the guild galloped forth, racing to meet the Chaos Legion.

David of the McCoy clan, Bea Yu, Mieke (called Mother of Monsters), and Felius the Mellow led the charge. Imbued with the essence of various summoners, they raced around the crater left by the impact of the fallen object. They reined in their steeds and called forth elemental manifestations that met the first rank of the enemy’s legionnaires head-on.

The sky above began to swirl with shades of purple and black. A portal appeared, and an enormous leviathan emerged from it. Water dripped from its scales, and its taloned feet were webbed. Yet it flew, the bones of its wings extending beyond their membrane in wickedly sharp spikes. Upon its chest it wore runic armor, and a massive runic disc was attached to its back.

As the Chaos Legion’s airborne attackers descended upon the leviathan, its armor and disc began to glow, and the disc began to spin. A blast of necrotic energy from a Chaos Dragon slammed into the portal, and it cracked, shattered, and dissolved into nothingness. With a roar, the leviathan emitted a blinding flare of disorienting light and tore into its foes with teeth and talons.

It made quick work of them, and when the last had fallen and crashed to the ground below, the leviathan descended on the Chaos Legion that fought against Team Possible, scattering their ranks and sending the bloodied survivors fleeing.

Stunned, David and the others watched in awe as the massive creature descended to the ground, folded its wings against its sides, and lumbered toward the crater. It retrieved the object that had fallen from the sky, a runestone, and turned to the guild.

It communicated with them telepathically, thanking them for their aid and telling them of its quest: to retrieve the lost runestones that had been scattered through time and space so that it could return home and save its race.

In its native tongue, the leviathan’s name was unpronounceable, so they dubbed it Possibilus the Wise and agreed to offer their aid. In return, Possibilus promised to stand alongside Team Possible and the Splinterlanders against the formidable strength of the invading Chaos Legion.

• Possibilus The Wise is a legendary water summoner with an ability that increases the health of all your monster by 2 in the battlefield and gives all your monster trample and reach ability. What I like about with this summoner is the increased health and because it is a water summoner. For me water is the best splinter to use on modern silver league. I don't know, my win rate is much higher when using the water element. And also one of my favorite ability is Trample because of that extra attack could change the outcome of the battle. Also the design is very cool, which makes it one of my favorite card. Every time water splinter is usable I always consider using him if the rules favors it.

• Best ruleset to use Possibilus The Wise

  • Stampede - The Trample ability can trigger multiple times per attack if the trampled Monster is killed. (Because of the Trample that Possibilus gives to all your monster, stampede will be very useful) Note : Only Melee monster are affected with the Trample ability.
    
  • Melee Mayhem - Melee attack Monsters can attack from any position. (Imagine using melee monsters that can attack from every position with Trample ability)
    
  • Up Close & Personal - Only Monsters with Melee attack may be used in battles. (Since only melee monsters can be used in battles this is where Possibilus shine because all of the ability it gives is very beneficial for melee monsters)
    
  • Unprotected - Monsters do not have any armor and do not get armor from Abilities or Summoner Buffs. (Monsters without armor are very easy to kill making the Trample ability to more likely proc)
    
  • Equal Opportunity - All Monsters have the Opportunity ability. (Same as the melee mayhem rule except this one is better because it targets the lowest hp of the opponent's monster)

• Monsters that best benefit Possibilus' abilities

  • Coeurl Lurker - A dodgy tank. Place it in the 2nd position and use Angelic Mandarin and Spirit Hoarder. (Thank me later)
    

  • Arkemis The Bear - A 2nd tank who can halve the attack of the opponent's monster, not to mention its Protect ability for extra survivability of the team.
    

  • River Hellondale - Inspire ability increase melee attack by 1, it is also stackable meaning you are able to use 2 monster with inspire ability.
    

This is just a few monster I could think of that would be very useful if you want to run Possibilus in a battle. There are still many monster that you could use that could benefit with its abilities.

• Conclusion

Possibilus the Wise is a very usable summoner for me. The 2 Health alone is a very good buff to all monster but melee would be the most beneficial when using Possibilus. There are many rulesets wherein Possibilus can be used because of the ability it provides. I only suggest using it on mid to high mana caps because almost all good melee monsters requires high mana cost to use. Possibilus The Wise is an underrated summoner for me but with the right ruleset of situation it can be a force to be reckoned with.
