Healed Out is a rule of combat that disables health restoration for the current combat. However, that won't mean you are not allowed to increase your health during this rule of combat through other means.

Let me introduce you to one of my favorite underrated 1 mana card that is strong in every situation.

Kra'ar Xoc

Stats | Chaos Dragon

_{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

Chaos Dragon's stats is really high along with its 14 mana cost. At level 1, he already has 3 magic damage. Magic damage types have like an innate ability in which it passes through armor and cannot miss. That means every turn, you are assured to have 3 damage to enemy's health.

He also has 4 armor and 10 health which can be used to protect your team against Sneak monsters for a few turns.

However, the best part of this card is the combination of its damage and abilities.

_Abilities

At level 1, Flying and Scattershot is unlocked.

Flying ability increases this card's evasion chance against other non-flying monsters by 25%. It also negates damage from Earthquake rule of combat.

Scattershot is an underrated ability. Monsters with this ability changes the attack priority to random. This ability is also the most priority meaning if you have Opportunity and Scattershot on a monster, the target priority will always be Scattershot or random.

---

At level 2, Blast is unlocked. Monsters with Blast ability inflicts damage to monsters in front and back of the main target for half of the main target's damage, rounded up. The damage type is based on the monster's damage type. In other words, if you're using Chaos Dragon, which has 3 magic damage, the blast damage will be 2 magic damage for both front and back of the main target.

This ability complements with Scattershot as it bypasses your opponent's Taunt ability. This means your opponent cannot redirect your attack and you will have a chance to damage and probably kill those low health monsters that your opponent is trying hard to protect.

---

At level 3, Blind is unlocked. Monsters with Blind has a chance of inflicting blinded status to opponent. Monsters with Blinded status reduces the their hit chance by 25%. However, due to the mechanics of this game, Magic damage types are not affected.

With Blind and Flying ability, A non-flying, non-magic damage opponent will have 50% chance to damage this monster and that's not applying the speed difference yet.

Stats | Kra'ar Xoc

_{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

While Kra'ar Xoc doesn't have any damage, he is pretty strong for a 1 mana cost monster. He has 3 Speed and 2 Health that can get up to 4 speed and 5 health at max level. The best part of this card is the ability that you can get for as early as level 1.

_Abilities

At level 1, Scavenger is unlocked. Monsters with Scavenger gains 1 max health for every monster that dies on the board. This includes both your monster and opponents. A quick example for a strategy is having two 1 mana cost monster in front and Kra'ar Xoc at 3rd position. For 3 mana cost, you can have a 6 health monster wall (1 health for monster on position 1, 1 health for monster on position 2, 4 health for Kra'ar Xoc considering the 2 front monster dies.) Good strategy for low mana cap games.

---

At level 6, Redemption is unlocked. Redemption inflicts 2 damage to opponent that kills it. Very good ability for a monster whose role is to die.

Lineup
_{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

Summoner: Camila Sungazer: -1 melee. Reduces opponent's melee damage by 1 with a minimum of 1. Any melee monsters with 1 damage before the effect applies are unaffected.

1. Djinn Oshannus: Has 2 magic damage, 10 health with Void ability. Good as primary and/or secondary tank.
2. Kra'ar Xoc: 1 mana cost with Scavenger. I placed him second in order to get a few health from opponent's death before going to the front.
3. Riverboat Captain: has 2 magic damage and Blast ability. Compatible with Chaos Dragon allowing you to damage the secondary monster with blast.
4. Chaos Dragon: Has 3 magic damage, Scattershot, Blast and Flying ability. My main damage monster. As long as my front line can delay the fight, this monster can take down the whole opponent team by himself.

ᗪIᗪ YOᑌᖇ ᔕTᖇᗩTEGY ᗯOᖇKEᗪ?

Yes. I had Djinn Oshannus and Kra'ar Xoc drain the damage while Chaos Dragon and Riverboat Captain deals with damage and blast.

Normally, you put a level 1 and level 0 filler in front to absorb a damage or two. That's mostly their purpose. However, you want to put Kra'ar Xoc around the middle in order to absorb some of the health from death enemies and comrades via Scavenger ability. This would allow you to have a really efficient tank by only spending 1 mana cost.

---

ᗯᕼᗩT ᗯIᒪᒪ YOᑌ TᖇY ᗪIᖴᖴEᖇEᑎTᒪY ᑎE᙭T TIᗰE?

None. For this game, I won't be changing anything but if you have lower mana cap, to work with, you can change Djinn Oshannus to lower mana cost monsters. Adding multiple 1 mana cost and 2 mana cost monsters will eventually become food for Kra'ar Xoc's Scavenger ability giving him a very huge health boost by the time he gets to the front.

Kra'ar Xoc and Chaos Dragon in Healed Out Rule of Combat

? 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒕?

Yes. Kra'ar Xoc is one of that diamond in the rough. It is a gem that I don't see other people use. Why is that, I don't know. I like combining it with a strong tank, or adding multiple low mana cost monsters since as they die, I get my Kra'ar Xoc's health stronger. His Scavenger ability is also unaffected by Healed Out since it doesn't count as a health restoration ability. The health increases because the max health increase and not because he gets healed.

Chaos Dragon is also really strong due to his Scattershot, Blast combo. Since he starts with 3 damage, the Blast automatically goes with 2 damage. This means, he can get up to 7 damage to opponent's team in one shot (3 for the target, 2 for the one in its left, 2 for the one in its right.)
