This week's Splinterlands Community Engagement Challenge invites us to talk about that perfect card combination that dominates the battlefield!
For this challenge, I’m showcasing an incredible combo:
🔥 Iziar + Olivia + Adelade Brightwing 🔥
...along with some exciting variations!
We'll break down why this synergy works so well and, to wrap it up, I’ll share an epic battle where these cards shine in action! ⚔️✨
I chose this combo for several reasons:
🔥 It’s incredibly strong! This setup can compete with top-tier teams and hold its own in high-level matches.
🎭 It’s FUN! Watching Olivia steal abilities and become an unstoppable force by the end of the match is pure entertainment.
💰 It’s affordable! Since Olivia and Iziar are Soulbound reward cards and Adelade Brightwing is from the Chaos Legion set, this combo is accessible to most players and its way cheaper than some pricey options like Venka or Tofu.
Another great aspect of this combo is its versatility. It works across many rulesets and can be paired with multiple strategies. The possibilities are endless! 🔄✨
⚠️ Important: This combo shines in Gold and Diamond leagues but is not viable for Silver or Bronze.
Let’s dive in and break it down! 🚀
By now, we all know Adelade Brightwing, a fantastic addition to the game with an impressive set of five abilities! 💪✨
She’s one of the few Chaos Legion cards with five skills, making her incredibly valuable on the battlefield. Let’s break down what makes her so powerful:
As a Flying unit, Adelade:
✅ Avoids Earthquake damage 🌍
✅ Has increased evasion against non-Flying enemies 🦅
While Flying isn’t a game-breaking ability on its own, it’s always a great bonus especially since it’s relatively rare!
Repair is a game-changer that can swing matches in your favor. It restores armor to the most damaged ally, which is crucial when paired with armor-heavy units.
Key Strengths:
🔹 Boosts survivability in long battles 🛡️
🔹 Works best when multiple units have armor
Adelade’s Repair makes her a great support unit, especially in armor-based strategies!
This is Adelade’s most important ability and the reason this combo works so well! Resurrect revives the first fallen ally, bringing them back for another round.
🔥 Why It’s So Strong:
✅ Lets tanks soak even more damage 💥
✅ Creates extra value for high-impact units
✅ Can be combined with multiple revival effects
I could argue that any of Adelade’s other abilities could be swapped, and she’d still be strong—but not Resurrect! It’s the core of her strength.
Adelade is also immune to negative status effects! That means:
🚫 No Poison damage ☠️
🚫 No Stun or crowd control ⛔
This ability shines in Poison matches, but even outside of them, not being affected by debuffs is always a plus!
Speed is one of the most crucial stats in Splinterlands, and Swiftness makes Adelade even more valuable.
⚡ What It Does:
✅ Boosts the speed of your entire team 🏃💨
✅ Helps your units attack first & dodge more hits
With only 1 base speed, Adelade is slow, but Swiftness compensates for that and benefits everyone else on the team! 🚀
While her five abilities don’t directly synergize, they are all individually strong—making her extremely valuable for just 7 mana! 🏆
✅ Versatile in many strategies
✅ Brings utility, durability, and speed
✅ A must-have support unit
Adelade doesn’t need to deal high damage—her strength lies in the insane value she brings to any team composition! 💪✨
Iziar is a card we’re all familiar with—a high-cost tank (11 mana) that more than justifies its price! 💎
With 14 life, Void, and Taunt, Iziar is built to take a beating and keep your backline safe. But what truly makes it shine is Martyr, which buffs adjacent units when it dies. This synergy between abilities and stats makes Iziar a game-changer!
💥 Step 1: Taunt forces all enemy attacks onto Iziar 🎯
💥 Step 2: Iziar absorbs massive damage thanks to Void & high HP 🛡️
💥 Step 3: When it falls, Martyr buffs nearby allies 🚀
This makes Iziar a fantastic pick in many strategies, as it protects key units while empowering them after its demise! If you can afford the mana cost, it’s always a solid choice. 💪🔥
Last but certainly not least, we have Olivia—one of the strongest cards in the Rebellion Reward set! 💥 Many consider her the best soulbound card, and for good reason.
At first glance, Olivia’s stats seem modest (1 magic, 2 melee), but her abilities make her an absolute powerhouse! ⚡
🌀 Mimic: The only card with this ability! Olivia steals an enemy ability each turn and when attacked. This means the longer she survives, the stronger she becomes! 🏆
🛡️ Reflection Shield: One of the best defensive abilities in the game! Olivia takes zero damage from Blast, Thorns, Magic Reflect, and Return Fire, making her incredibly durable in tricky matchups.
🎯 Opportunity: This offensive ability allows Olivia to target the weakest enemy unit, making her a lethal assassin while also letting her attack from any position!
When combined with the right setup, Olivia can single-handedly turn the tide of battle. Her combination of durability, adaptability, and offensive potential makes her a must-have in many team compositions! 🚀💀
We’ve already seen how strong each card is individually, but when combined, they create something truly special! 🔥
Each of these cards shines in different situations:
But together, their synergy is unmatched! 🎯
The strategy revolves around buffing Olivia with Martyr while also protecting her, giving her enough time to build up her abilities. Survive the first 3-4 rounds, and she becomes unstoppable! 🏆
1️⃣ Place Olivia next to Iziar in the backline.
2️⃣ Iziar will take all enemy damage due to Taunt.
3️⃣ Adelade’s Resurrect ensures Iziar dies twice, triggering Martyr twice!
4️⃣ By Round 4, Olivia will have at least 7 abilities and boosted stats!
5️⃣ She now deals 3 Magic & 5 Melee damage per turn, making her unstoppable!
Time to put this strategy to the test in battle! Up next, a match showcasing just how powerful this setup can be. 🎮🔥
🔗 Watch the Full Battle Here! 🎥🔥
For this battle, we had a 41 mana cap and these three rulesets:
Equal Opportunity 🏹
All units gain the Opportunity ability, making them prioritize the weakest enemy.
Briar Patch 🌿
All units have Thorns, punishing melee attackers!
Ferocity 🦁
All units gain Fury, dealing double damage to Taunt units.
This was the perfect scenario for Olivia, thanks to her Reflection Shield negating Thorns damage!
| Summoner | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
💡 Key Strategy: A meta team using Tofu + Mantaroth for high damage and Mycelic Slipspawn as a Taunt unit to absorb hits.
| Summoner | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

💡 My Strategy:
💥 The teams are set! Time to watch the battle unfold! 🎬🔥
I showcased this battle because it perfectly demonstrates how Olivia thrives in long fights. She gained buffs early and became an unstoppable force.
✅ We defeated two of the most expensive cards (Tofu & Mantaroth) with a budget-friendly team.
✅ Doctor Blight proved invaluable, staying alive long enough to deal lethal damage.
✅ Olivia’s ability-stealing mechanic turned the tide, adapting to the battle and making her nearly unkillable.
💡 Moral of the Story? Never underestimate the power of a well-synergized, low-cost lineup!
Throughout this post, we explored a powerful combo built around Iziar, Olivia, and Adelade Brightwing, showcasing how their abilities synergize to create a dominant strategy in Splinterlands.
✔️ Iziar’s Martyr Effect: Buffs key units while acting as a tank.
✔️ Olivia’s Ability Stealing: Becomes stronger each turn, making her a late-game powerhouse.
✔️ Adelade’s Resurrection: Ensures Iziar’s buff triggers twice for maximum impact.
✔️ Perfect Synergy: The abilities of these three cards work together seamlessly, creating a game-changing strategy.
We saw the true power of this setup in action, as Olivia absorbed multiple buffs and abilities, transforming into an unstoppable force. Despite facing a strong meta team with expensive cards, this combo proved that strategy and synergy can outperform raw power.
This isn’t just a fun setup, it’s a proven winning strategy. Whether you're dealing with blast, thorns, or opportunity rulesets, this combo offers a reliable and effective approach to gaining the upper hand. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a shot, you might be surprised at how well it works! 🔥💪
