Hello Splinterlands summoners and welcome back to my blog!
The elf bloodline is my current favorite since races and Bloodline Dominion buff have been introduced in Conclave Arcana. The Execute ability by the elf archon is easily the best ability among the races which is why I mainly use Earth in my battles. In the higher Gold League battles, a great strategy is to combo the elf line up with Decripit Windseer. In today's post, we'll do a deep dive on this card. We'll check out his stats and abilities, combos and show a sample battle.
Selbrineth Calaraen (Decripit Windseer) is Kaylia Silverleaf's (Earth archon) grandmother and guardian. She's an ancient elf who has lived for more than seven hundred year. She's a powerful elf herself who can summon cyclones of razor-sharp leaves around her.
Few in the Kingdom of Thanaloria remember a time before the seer Selbrineth Calaraen served the Silverleaf family. For over seven centuries, she has seen generations of elves rise and fall. When his daughter died giving birth to Kaylia, Rathlorien appointed Selbrineth as his granddaughter鈥檚 nursemother, raising, educating, and guiding the child with a devotion that went far beyond duty. She taught Kaylia the wisdom to listen before acting, the strength to lead without pride, and the grace to wield power without letting it consume her.
When Kaylia stepped forward to lead the fellowship of the Silverleafs against the Conclave Arcana, Selbrineth went with her. Rathlorien didn鈥檛 approve, but he knew better than to argue. Kaylia protested too, but deep down, she was relieved to have the old seer at her side.
The Decripit Windseer is a four mana legendary card. She deals two range damage, has six health and three speed. Her key ability is Bloodline Tribute that she has at level one. When Decrepit Windseer dies, it buffs all allied units of the same bloodline and grants boosts like +1 health, speed, armor and attack power (only to elf range units). At level two, she gains the Thorns ability to return damage to melee units. She is most optimized at level three where she gains the Close Range ability, enabling her to attack with range from the first position.
Due to her Bloodline Tribute ability, she鈥檚 often used as a support sacrifice unit. She's supposed to die at the right time to power up her elf team mates. She's usually positioned in front which is why her other abilities Thorns and Close Range will be most useful and complement her role as a sacrificial card. As for combos, you'd want to team her up with as much elves as possible to take advantage of her Bloodline Tribute ability. To even maximize the benefit, it would be better if the cards are range elf units to also increase their attack aside from their other stats.
The battle is in the high level Gold League. Player hungrymammoth used the Decripit Windseer in his team led by Kaylia Silverleaf along with an all elf line up.
The ruleset was Junior Varsity, limiting the cards to six mana and below. His team was composed of an all elf line up which benefited from the Bloodline Tribute ability.
His enemy used the legendary dragon archon, Sheng Xiao with a competitive team. The Decripit Windseer was the first to fall as was intended and buffed the team's stats but only the Silverleaf Ranger in last position had her attack stat buffed since she shares the same attack type with the Decripit Windseer. Their increased stats, together with their Execute ability helped hungrymammoth's team to win this battle.
