The tips and possible advises in this article are designed for Silver League, in which I am in right now.
Cursed Windeku has 6 mana cost, 4 melee damage, and 11 max health making it a solid tank choice. Its 3 speed is decent but it doesn’t stand out much compared to newer monsters in the Rebellion set.
Heal is its best ability. It's helpful in a lot of ways even though it can be outplayed if the opponent uses Affliction ability. Still, it’s a solid option for sustain in any tank monsters.
Super Sneak |
All monsters on the board gains the Sneak ability that changes the targetting mechanics of monsters with Melee damage to "Opponent's monster that is on the last position.": In the Super Sneak Rules of Combat where all melee monsters gain the Sneak ability, Cursed Windeku can be placed at the last position to effectively counter opposing Sneak monsters. Its Thorns ability punishes melee monsters targeting it, making it a strong defense while still contributing to the overall team strategy. | |
Rise of the Commons |
During this battle, only Common and Rare monsters are allowed: Rise of the Commons is a Rules of Combat where only Common and Rare monsters are allowed and Cursed Windeku is Rare monster making it a good pick for this kind of battle. You get a strong tank for battles where you're limited to these types of monsters. | |
Up Close & Personal |
During this battle, only monsters with melee damage type are allowed: When you're in a rule of combat that only allows melee monsters, Cursed Windeku is a great pick here with its Thorns ability. It’ll hurt opponents everytime they attack this monster because they are forced to play melee monsters. |
Healed Out |
All healing effects and abilities are disabled during this battle.: Healed Out disables any restoration effects so Cursed Windeku’s Heal ability won’t work in this rule of combat. It would lose one of its main advantages. It's still usable but without one of its best abilities. |
|
Tis But Scratches |
All monsters on the board gains the Cripple ability that reduces the opponent's max health by 1 when their attacks hit: Tis But Scratches causes all monsters to gain the Cripple ability which reduces max health when they damage another monster. This means Cursed Windeku’s Heal ability won’t work as effectively because of its lower max health. |
|
Reverse Speed |
The effects of speed becomes the opposite. Monsters with the least Speed also attack first and has highest chance to evade an attack: In the Super Sneak Rules of Combat where all melee monsters gain the Sneak ability, Cursed Windeku can be placed at the last position to effectively counter opposing Sneak monsters. Its Thorns ability punishes melee monsters targeting it, making it a strong defense while still contributing to the overall team strategy. |
Cabalist |
Cabalist can be a good fit with Cursed Windeku because of its Amplify and Demoralize abilities. Amplify will increase the damage dealt by Windeku’s Thorns ability and Demoralize will reduce the opponent's melee damage making Cursed Windeku survive longer against melee monsters. | |
Queen of Crows |
Queen of Crows works well with Cursed Windeku because of her Slow ability. This ability stacks with Cursed Windeku’s own Slow ability making it even harder for enemies to hit your team with melee and range damage. Your team will also have a higher chance to attack first allowing your team to eliminate some enemies before they can act. | |
Tatiana Blayde |
Tatiana Blayde is legendary monster not used a lot. Because of her Inspire ability, it fits melee monsters increasing their damage as she attacks from the back. It boosts Windeku’s melee damage allowing it to be a more effective damage dealer. |
This is a common build for me for Death Splinter. Cursed Windeku deals with all the tanking while the other monsters deal with their back row. It's a mini flank strategy that is very effective if your opponents don't expect an attack from multiple direction.
This was a very easy battle because the opponents used a full melee team. Cursed Windeku alone can eliminate half of their team with his Thorns ability. They also need to kill Cursed Windeku first before even touching Magi Necrosi due to his Camouflage ability.
Cursed Windeku is a great tank with good stats and abilities. It works well as a Death Splinter option offering both damage and sustain. Though not perfect, it’s a solid pick for most battles.
You can pair him with a lot of monsters in its Splinter notably those with Amplify to increase the Thorns damage. Another good thing is Cursed Windeku can both be used as part of a team or on its own making it one of the most useful general monster in the game.
