Soulbound Summoner Spotlight: Octavia Shadowmeld

5.png

For our fifth installment in the series, we have the death summoner octavia. One of the nerfed summoners from testing as she had minus one melee from what I remember which was changed due to being too OP in the team's mind. As we have in the past, we will look at the summoner card stats and then a few of the gladius cards the death team brings to the table.

Death is notoriously a nerf summoner where it is taking away something from your opponents team. We have something no different here with the minus one health. It is uniquely stronger with the death team due to several weaken creatures death has such as the new will o wisp as well as undead priest. Using this summoner in poison and earthquake rulesets could also prove to be the difference as well. Now let us breakdown the gladius monsters to pair with octavia.

1. Witch of Warwick

Fantastic common card for death here is the two magic attack witch. She also has life leech making for a great monster in equalizer rulesets especially with cards such as venari bonesmith and life sapper who also can life leech up. The card gets even better as it levels up gaining the affliction which is key with all the healing tanks we have in ranked play.

2. Trapp Falloway

Another weaken card to add to the mix here and a great hard hitting little league card. The trapp can get carried away real quick with the high speed and damage it has. IF you can find an unshielded monster, this card will bloodlust real quick and in little league will be hard to take down before the next hit. Naturally, melee from any position and super sneak are also great rulesets for this card.

3. Xulax Nightwind

A card I do not have but really want given the prevalence of magic in the meta. Void armor monsters are so clutch as they can be so pesty for magic monsters especially if you can get a resurrect or two on the board. Getting it to level 2 brings you thorns as well so it is dealing double damage to the front monster in many cases.

Death really does have some strong plays with octavia in certain rulesets and due to the power of some of the gladius cards. However, the minus one health is not great and so unique use cases are more for when you would use octavia compared to other soulbound summoners. Please upvote or comment if you enjoyed this breakdown and have any other gladius cards you pair with octavia.
