Splinterlands' Share Your Battle Challenge! Theme: Wood Nymph
Hola, Splinterfolks!
It's time again for Splinterlands' Share Your Battle Weekly Challenge!
This week's Splinterlands' Share Your Battle Weekly Challenge theme is Wood Nymph! If you want to know more about the challenge, here is the link - SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! WOOD NYMPH.
Wood Nymph Stats!
Wood Nymph is an Earth element monster and most probably one of the most used card in Earth element. If you have a good tank, like a Level 3 Flesh Golem which has the Heal ability, you have a high chance to win the battle. In my first two weeks in playing Splinterlands, this card helped me reach 900 MMR in no time.
Okay, let's review Wood Nymph's stats and I will also discuss one of my battles using this card.
Edition: REWARD
Rarity: COMMON
Element: EARTH
Attack: MAGIC
Abilities: Tank Heal/Strengthen at level 6
At Level 1, she has 1 Magic Attack, 1 Speed, 0 Armor and 2 Health. It has the ability Tank Heal at Level 1 and Strengthen at Level 6.
She's a good support considering that she has Tank Heal and at the same time, 1 Magic Attack, which will not miss.
At Level 6, she will have Strengthen that will increase the health of friendly monsters. For me, this is a nice combo for Tank Heal which restores 1/3 of the max health, rounded up of the your allied monster in Pos 1.
Battle Rules!
Let's check first the rules of the battle.
Ruleset: Standard - No modifications to the standard gameplay rules and mechanics.
Mana: 18
Elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Life, Death, Dragon
My Lineup
I wanted to try a new line up using Earth element. I normally use MYLOR CROWLING as my summoner and then I will use Wood Nymph to heal my tank. While Thorn is doing its role, my tank will last long because of Wood Nymph's Tank Heal. But for this challenge, I used OBSIDIAN as my Summoner.
Here is my line up.
Summoner: OBSIDIAN
Wood Nymph has magic attack only and I wanted to try a new line up in Earth element, so I used Obsidian to increase the magic attack of Wood Nymph. Aside from healing my tank, Wood Nymph will also deal a noticeable damage with its +2 magic attack.
Pos 1: MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN
Its Taunt ability make this card a good tank. Its Taunt will prevent my Wood Nymph to die immediately in the battle. Also, it has 2 magic attack which will become 3 after adding +1 magic attack from OBSIDIAN.
Pos 2: WOOD NYMPH
Its main role is to heal MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN in Pos 1. And since I am using OBSIDIAN, her magic attack will also do a good amount of damage to the enemy.
Pos 3: Creeping Ooze
This is a very reliable card because of its cheap mana cost and ability which is to reduce the Speed of enemy monsters. It also has 1 melee attack at level 4.
Pos 4: Furious Chicken
The role of this card is to tank the damage coming from the back to protect my range monster from direct hit. It also has 1 melee attack at level 4.
Let's Battle!
Let the battle begins!
My enemy used DRAKE OF ARNAK which gives +1 Armor to allied monsters. This will not affect the attack of my monsters because I used a Magic deck. The enemy used CARRION SHADE in Pos 1 probably to become a sacrificial lamb. The enemy's main tank is CURSED WINDEKU which has Thorn ability. And 2 back line attackers - SILENT SHA-VI and UNDEAD BADGER.
In Round 1, my team was able to annihilate CARRION SHADE while my MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN is receiving all the damage. WOOD NYMPH was able to deal damage to CURSED WINDEKU after healing MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN health.
In Round 2, my MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN is still receiving all the damage. CURSED WINDEKU's Thorn has no effect to my monsters because they are using Magic Attack. By the end of Round 2, CURSED WINDEKU was left with 2 HP.
In Round 3, my team was able to annihilate CURSED WINDEKU while my MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN is still receiving all the damage and WOOD NYMPH is healing MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN's HP.
In Round 4, my team was able to annihilate SILENT SHA-VI and UNDEAD BADGER, leading my team to Victory!
Let's Recap!
Wood Nymph is a very good support and using Obsidian as the summoner, you can fully utilize this card. This is somehow my bread and butter when using Earth Element. I will have a descent tank and a healer to heal the tank. The enemy's +1 armor from DRAKE OF ARNAK has didn't count as much in this battle. CURSED WINDEKU's Thorn has no effect to my monsters because they are using Magic Attack. The back line monsters cannot kill my Wood Nymph because of MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN taunt.
I think using an Earth-mage deck is not too bad considering that there are ruleset that you cannot use melee monsters.
Overall, Wood Nymph is a good card at level 1, mainly because of its Tank Heal Ability and also because it has 1 Magic Attack, too.
