There are some monsters in Splinterlands that already feel broken when you see them in the field. Quora Towershead is one of those monsters. She costs 10 mana, which is high, but her stats and abilities really justify that cost. Every time I see her available in battle, I always consider building around her.
At max level, Quora Towershead can make most of her stats and abilities. Quora Towershead has 13 health, 3 speed, and two types of attack. She deals 2 magic damage and 3 melee damage at the same time. That means she can hit for a total of 5 damage per round under normal condition. Even without armor, 13 health is already very hard to kill a unit quickly. Quora Towershead's entire kit is simple but very powerful and everything works together.

Bloodlust is the core of Quora Towershead. Every time she kills a monster, all her stats increase. Since she has both melee and magic attack, each stack increases both damage types. That means her total damage can grow very fast in just a few kills. Because she attacks twice per round, she has more chance to secure kills compared to single attack monsters. With proper timing, Bloodlust can make her unstoppable.

Heal restores part of her health every round. With 13 base health, the healing amount is already strong especially since that happens once per round. When Bloodlust increases her health, the healing becomes even bigger. This makes her very hard to burst down the longer the battle goes. Heal works very well in any modifier especially since it would be hard to stop with the next ability, Immunity.

Immunity makes her immune to all negative status effects. This is very important for a scaling monster like her. Without Immunity, she could be stopped by Affliction, Halving, or other debuffs. It also protects her Bloodlust stacks from being removed by Dispel. Immunity keeps her strong during the whole fight.

Dispel removes all positive effects from the enemy when she hits them. This is very strong against other Bloodlust monsters or teams that likes buffs. It can remove Strengthen, Inspire, and other helpful buffs from the enemy monsters. Since she attacks twice, she has many chances to trigger Dispel. This makes her not only a carry, but also a monster to counter other teams.
With the help of my two Taunts and Poison Burst with them, Quora Towershead can just simply enjoy the frontline as she can outheal any damage done by the enemy tank since other attacks get redirected by Taunt. It's a total control on my end. Other monsters on this battle like Night Reaper and Chuma Marandu helped with the damage to the opponent's team but also, even if not, it's still the same result at the end. This can be proven by the two kills from Quora Towerhead and I only have a level 1 of her. I cannot imagine how insane Quora Towershead can be if I have the best, ideal team with her. Imagine if she has Nidhoggr's Blast on her two damage attacks with Bloodlust. That's scary.
Quora Towershead is one of the strongest monsters in the game for me. Even if her abilities are outdated, they still shine. That is how good her design is. She has high health and dual attacks that already make her powerful. Bloodlust allows her to scale very fast with each kill. Heal and Immunity keep her alive and protected. Dispel helps her fight against other strong monsters. When she gains momentum, she can easily take over the entire battle especially if you combine her with an abundance of good archons.
