Have you tried Barashkukor? How was your experience with this deathly magical being? Did you find him good or not to use?
I've been grinding recently in ranked battles as my personal life gets more relaxed. As usual, I am still abusing the power of Lorkus and I've only been losing on Lily Shieldpaw teams as much as I remember. After a week, I finally got to Gold 1 and it's only a matter of time until I get to Diamond.
With that news, I thought it would be a good time to reveal one of the units that helped me get to this level (and unfortunately, it's not Usut). Come and check out the new magic unit in my arsenal, Barashkukor.

Why pick this unit: Barashkukor's stats and abilities are really good when combined with Lorkus. His high magic attack can take advantage of Lorkus's bonus magic attack and Life Leech. In case the enemy has Taunt unit, Barashkukor's attack will increase with Fury increasing the life returned by Life Leech. His other abilities are also good but not as much as that 5 magic attack that cannot miss and passes through armor.

| Use it in... |
Armored Up are good with magic units as their attacks don't affect armor. If you use units with magic attack, your melee and range enemy units will attack that armor first but your units will ignore their armor when attacking. |
Barashkukor has decent health but will die quickly when focused. With Fog of War and putting Barashkukor at the back, you can ensure his safety as he stack health with Lorkus's Life Leech. |
Barashkukor's abilities are good but he doesn't rely on it. The best part of Barashkukor is his stats. Without abilities allowed, Barashkukor will be safe from possible Snipe, Sneak or Opportunity attacks but at the same time, he can still dish out that huge 5 magic attack every round. |
| Avoid using in... |
Barashkukor has high magic attack resulting on high return damage from Magic Reflect as well. It is very clear why this is bad for both Lorkus and Barashkukor and if you have Counterspell rule set on the battle, for the love of God, please do not use this unit. |
Weak Magic makes units block magic attack with armor. Life Leech only absorbs health and if you damage the armor, Life Leech would not give any health back to Barashkukor. |
Lorkus is a huge part of Barashkukor's strength. The Life Leech given by this summoner is what make this unit good. Without Lorkus, in my opinion, it would be better to just use another unit instead even if they would have lower attack but better abilities. |

Battle Strat: In this battle and majority of my battles today, I am on a simple strategy, blast my way throught the front door with sheer raw force. I have my units with the best attack equipped with Lorkus's Affliction and Life Leech and use that huge damage advantage to get lead with Life Leech. The higher the unit's damage, the higher the Life Leech's health rebound will get. In this battle, I also have Silent Sha-Vi and Magi Necrosi messing with the back line but most of the units are just breaking in from the front.
Battle Summary: With a great speed advantage, Drybone Barbarian was killed in battle quickly which reduced the enemy's power a lot. Losing the main tank is really problematic and game just went easier once the door opened.
