Edition: CHAOS LEGION
Rarity: RARE
Element: WATER
Attack: MAGIC
Abilities: Cleanse, Amplify, Swiftness
This is one of my favorite cards for battles in the mid 20s mana range.
Battle Rules:
- Armor up (+2 Armor)
- 24 Mana
With "Armor Up", it is likely the opponent may go magic, I need a tank that reduces magic damage
Position #1: Tank - Xenith Monk
- Void negates 1 magic damage
- Magic Reflect returns half of the magic damage, and benefits from River Nymph's Amplify
- Heal for longevity
Position #2: Pelacor Bandit
- This is one of the best cards for the Water Splinter
- Sneak to attack the opponent from behind bypassing the tank
- Flying increases chance to evade physical attacks
- 6 Speed attacks first lowers the chance of getting hit, great as the secondary tank
- This card is also the insurance policy to deal with anti-magic line up, which is what I will be using the most this battle
Position #3: Ice Pixie
- Shatter to negate "Armor Up"
- Only 2 mana for 2 magic damage!
- Flying and 5 speed, great for tanking after my frontline gets destroyed
Position #4: River Nymph
- Amplify the Magic Reflect of Xenith Monk by 1 damage
- Swiftness to increase the speed for attack order and hit/miss chance
Position #5: Angelic Mandarin
- Triage to heal the back-line (which is Angelic Mandarin itself)
- Silence to reduce opponent's magic attack by 1, in the event the opponent thinks the same and use a magic heavy line up
- 7 health, 2 ranged, and 4 speed is very good for a 3 mana cost card
Position #6: Doctor Blight
- This is one of the most overpowered card, especially in the Diamond/Champion league
- With Camouflage, it sits hidden in the very back damaging and poisoning the opponent without getting targeted
- While accumulating health from the Scavenger ability, until the last doctor standing
- With Weaken, it is a free and immediate 6 health reduction to the opponent
Conclusion:
- It turned out the opponent uses Baakjira and Merdaali Guardian combo, huge HP pool with Tank Heal and negated my magic damage
- Pelacor Bandit and Angelic Mandarin are the MVPs. My back tank outlasted the opponent's back lane
- Victory is well within grasp after Pelacor Bandit took out Merdaali Guardian
- Doctor Blight's Affliction have stopped Baakjira's self Heal, but not Merdaali Guardian's Tank Heal
