Splinterlands Battle Of The Week: Perfect Wands Out

With the ruleset and element pick that I got I instantly knew what summoner I was going to play
That summoner was Immortalis as I believe he is one of the best summoners for Wands Out ruleset battles
Even tho I only had 28 mana and Immortalis costs 6 I still decided to play him as his abilities are just so strong and perfect for this battles rulesets
His -1 hit point was just a decent debuff, then came his Void which as you can imagen is the best possible ability to give to the entire of your team in a Wands Out battle and for last but not least was Shatter which usually is not the best for magic damage battles as magic does not attack armor anyway but for this battle as Weak Magic was active it was excellent ability combo to have
Another thing was that I had him in level 2 which made me able to play decently high level monsters also
Void - 50% less damage (rounded up) from magic attacks or 0 damage from magic attacks of 1 power
Shatter - Successful attacks destroy the target's armor

Centauri Mage was my main tank for this battle
Main reason I like Centauri Mage here a lot is his high hit points
Even tho he only had 1 magic damage which is kind of bad for 7 mana I still decided to play him as I was kind of sure my enemy would play so kind of -1 magic damage
Also his only ability was also totally useless for me in this battle as Wands Out was active and my enemy was not able to play ranged monsters
So basically I picked him for his hit points and for 7 mana he was my best choice
Return Fire - Returns 50% of damage to attacker (rounded up) when hit by a ranged attack

Now starts my supporting part of my team
Firstly was Goblin Psychic, possible one of the best healers in the game
The reason why I think he is one of the best is his ability combo being Tank Heal and Affliction
Tank Heal is self explained and Affliction is an amazing ability to counter your enemy playing healers also like I did
And to get all of that + 2 magic damage for only 6 mana is the reason I think he is one of the best
Tank Heal - Each round, restores 1/3 of max health (rounded down) to the allied unit in the first position
Affliction - 50% chance to apply Afflicted after a successful attack. Afflicted units cannot be healed

As I knew my enemy needed to play magic monsters I wanted to counter it from the start
Therefor I played Mushroom Seer with his Silence which was going to play nicely into my summoners Void
The main idea was that Mushroom Seer was going to lower my enemies magic attack damage hopefully to 1 or 2 which combined with my summoners Void was going to deal 0 or 1 damage which I could easily out heal with my healers
Also his stats were not the worst for being 5 mana cost monster and only level 2
Silence - -1 magic power to all enemy units

For last but not least was my second healer for this team and battle
While he is still a great healer he is not a match to Goblin Psychic
The only thing he out performers was his mana cost which was 2 less
Other than that he has 1 less magic damage, lower hit points and he only has the Tank Heal ability
But that did not mean I was not going to play him into my team as the only thing I was after really was his Tank Heal ability
Tank Heal - Each round, restores 1/3 of max health (rounded down) to the allied unit in the first position

After seeing the starting board I was quite scared
My enemy had played a really strong team which had two heals in it and also two Affliction which meant if I wanted to win this battle I really did need to get lucky and avoid getting hit by it
But at second look I realized that if I managed to avoid his Affliction for 2 to 3 rounds and take down his Quora Towershead the battle should be really easy
On the other hand if I managed to get hit but the Affliction from the start and give a take down to his Bloodlust the battle would be over real fast
But as I had played a really strong team also I had faith
But the only way to find out how the battle might end was to start the battle and have a look

After first round the board was still looking quite the same as in the start
The best possible scenario happen as I managed to avoided both of my enemies Affliction and managed to hit my one
Therefor his Quora Towershead was already at 5 hit points without being able to heal
But anything could still happen so lets keep watching

After 2nd Round I was 100% sure which way the battle was going and that made me really happy
Even tho I got hit by my enemies Affliction and Poison that did not matter at all any more
While my enemy had 5 combined hp I had 20 hp
I also had decent amount of magic damage on my board not like my enemy who had two 1 damage monsters
My monsters also had Void from my summoner which made them really tanky
Even tho there was no way really me enemy could somehow win this battle lets still keep watching

One more stop before the battle gets to the end screen
I had managed to take down all of my enemies monsters beside the last one
Even tho he was healer I still felt like this was going to be the last battle as I just had so much damage left on my board
Now I just needed to wait for the start of the next round and then face my victory

This battle was definitely heavily one sided but still fun to watch
The strategy to take away from this battle is that Immortalis is just so strong summoner in Wands Out battles as his abilities are just meant for it
Also earth is possible one of the best elements for ruleset like this due to having a lot of magic counters and healers with Affliction
