Hello Brave Splinters! Welcome to my Splinterlands Social Media challenge week submission and I hope you'll enjoy the reading! It's true that I'm not grinding like crazy but I've been lately enjoying watching some High Elo Battles (Diamond and Champion) and frankly the battles are truly exciting and I wanna share one of the battle.

The Battle

|Combat|| |-|-|-| |Ruleset|Noxious Fumes| |Mana|42| |Elements|Earth, Death and Dragon|

An Epic battle in a Noxious Fumes Ruleset between between UDOW and AUGUST24 on the Diamond League on the Wild League and both going on strongly with Legendary Summoners and heavy comps.

The battle was intense going back and forth between both competitor until the 4th Round where Cube went on last stand Mode and Cleanse while healing for a whopping 11 Health per round

While Cube is the king of Noxious Fumes, Sacred Lama turns Cube into an unkillable over-powered monster and makes it really hard to counter, most monsters can't survive multiple rounds of poisoning while dealing damage to cube that's constantly healing and having more than 30 health! By any chance they survived till round 20, Cube will eventually win through fatigue with its insane healing.

Vampiric Blossom Time to Shine

When Vampiric blossom was first released, no one had a big hope for this rare earth card to shine and take a place in the Meta but let's get in depth into its abilities.

|Ability|Info| |-|-|-| ||Does 2x damage when attacking an enemy that has no attacks| ||Does 2x damage if their target is the only Monster left on the enemy team| ||This monster is immune to negative status effects|

Vampiric blossom got an okayish damage, moderate speed and respectable health at later levels but his abilities makes it shine in Poison Ruleset:

  • Immunitymakes it immune to poison effect and can survive as long as there is a front liner ahead (in this case Almo Cambio)
  • Oppress in this case it did double damage to enemy Almo and Cube
  • DeathBlow + Oppress is what allowed Vampiric Blossom to seal the win:

Not even an Enraged Magnor can pull out such insane damage! But how it's done?:

(3 Damage + 1 ( prince Rennyn buff )) x2 (oppress) x2 (Deathblow) = 4 Damage x 4 = 16 damage

Vampiric Damage Clearly outheal Cube and didn't take long for it to seal the victory for AUGUST24

Honorable mention

Both competitors did run Vampiric Blossom but it was thanks to Spirirt of the Forest with the snipethat did eliminate the opposing Vampiric Blossom and let us witness the show!

If both Vampiric survived, both will deal only double damage to Almo/Cube:

  • Almo got 7 Speed + Return Fire: either miss or return 2 damage
  • Cube can heal for 7 health while receiving 8 damage, still not enough to take it down before fatigue kicks in

Conclusion

Thank you everyone for reading till now and I hope you've learned something interesting about this card and it's potential on the higher league.
I didn't want to mention both player so to not annoy them but I'll be really glad if they show up on the comments!
