How to : Battling Yodin Zaku
Hi Everyone! Hope you are well and enjoying the massive changes to Splinterlands with much more to come soon.
I am pretty sure everyone has faced the hottest summoner, Yodin Zaku at whatever league you are in. He is very impressive with +1 to Ranged Attacks & Health. But it’s his Blast Ability that helps him destroy everyone in his wake. Stories about people auto-surrendering when they see him further fuel his lore.
But what if there is a way to defeat him, literally by fighting fire with fire. This is where Pyre comes in, using speed to counter him. The logic is simple, hit him before he hits you and blast everyone to smithereens. Also with speed, comes increased hit miss, so stacking dodge helps tremendously as you will see from the fight. Plus, players who use Yodin typically favour using melee & ranged, so speed will play a very important factor against him.
My Line-up
Serpentine Soldier – Shield, Dodge & Thorns
Serpentine Spy – Opportunity & Poison
Pyromaniac – Sneak & Blast
Flame Imp – Flying & Swiftness
Pyromancer – Blast, Knock Out & Piercing
Spark Pixies – Flying, Stun & Dodge
The idea behind this line-up is that Serpentine Solder will be able to dodge several attacks while my ranged takes out the tanks. Spark Pixies is at the back as the high speed + flying + dodge will help to protect the backline. Pyre & Flame Imp will increase speed by even more in the hope of avoid the blast attacks.
After Round 1, looks like my plan wasn’t going as planned as my Serpentine Spy has died from the blast damage, hopefully Round 2 will see me dodging some hits, if not my tank is gone….
Round 2 went really well with my tank not taking any damage and Yodin lost his Living Lava as well as his Imp Bowman. Things are looking up for now.
No damage for my tank at the end of Round 3 and it looks like I should have my win over Yodin with only one monster lost. I did not even need the dodge from Spark Pixies in the end as my opponent did not have any Sneak monsters. He was important with the Stun ability as it meant the Pyromancer could do double damage.
So what do you all think of this strategy? Is there a similar strategy that you deploy or something completely different?

Hi @mawit07 & @revisesociology! Firstly let me apologise for directly tagging you both.
I was hoping you could offer me some advice on my writing as I really like the way you both write and how engaged your readers are to what you post.
Are there any tips you could share on my post as I thought it looked ok? Is it too long or too short? Or maybe not so relevant?
Thanks for any help you can share :D
Hi @boboman here are some recommendations:
For your posts use tags like spt neoxian proofofbrain ctp and many more. Find tribes to write posts to qualify for their upvotes.
Always write daily no matter what. The more consistent you are the more vote you will get. Have to be patient as the start will take time to earn.
Curate by going to other peoples blogs and respond a lot to other posts. Upvote what you can and make sure to always keep upvote bar below 100% as it charges daily.
Above all write original content that you enjoy and know it brings value to others who read them. For example I love Splinterlands and when ever I learn something neat I post it. There are endless topics to write about.
Finally interaction with other members beyond hive. Use discord, Twitter, telegram as other sources to reach out to other fellow hivers. A bigger network will lead to more attention to your posts and in turn more upvotes. Best of luck. !LUV and !PIZZA and !invest_vote
