The Healer Killers

Death Splinter monsters being bros Grim Reaper and Undead Archer on their way to deliver some friendly neighbhorhood Affliction

• I expected a leveled up Flesh Golem from Earth Splinter for this fight and thought--what a perfect opportunity to combine combine Cthulhu's Cripple with Grim Reaper and Undead Archer's Affliction ability! Cripple lowers enemy max-Health and Affliction stops enemy healing. Of course, I had to throw in some extra muscle for initial chaos of battle and had both Harklaw and The Gorlodon up front.

• Here's me and my opponent's line ups, the battle conditions, the summoner and monsters I chose, the start/end of the battle, and the replays.
  Summoner - Zintar Mortalis - All enemy monsters have decreased melee damage 1st Position - Harklaw - Shield ability - All enemy melee & range damage toward this monster is reduced 2nd Position - The Gorlodon - Reach ability- This monster can attack from 2nd Position 3rd Position - Cthulhu - Cripple & Flying abilities - Attacks have chance to reduce enemy max Health & increased chance to dodge enemy melee & range attacks 4th Position - Grim Reaper - Affliction ability - Increased chance to remove an enemy's ability to heal after attacking them 5th Position - Undead Archer - Affliction ability - Increased chance to remove an enemy's ability to heal after attacking them Last Position - Twister Jester - Snipe ability - Target enemy magic and ranged monsters first (Start of battle - above) (End of battle - above) Desktop Replay Mobile Replay

• I usually focus on Magic teams when I fight, melee second, and then Range last -- but this battle was a great chance to use Grim Reaper and Undead Archer for what felt like the first time in a while. I think I only bought Undead Archer last week but have forgotten to write a post about him -- I'll add one soon. What I liked most about this battle was taking down Flesh Golem but unfortunately like a recent battle in which I defeated Kron the Undying I did so while they were not paired up with Scarred Llama Mage who turns both cards into near unstoppable juggernauts with their constant healing. Can't wait to make a post where I take down those pairings. It sounds difficult now but I'm sure it'll become more manageable in the future.
