WOOD NYMPH

• Earth
• Level 1
• Heal

Lore

A peculiar new bud appeared at the tips of the highest branches of the Elder Tree. The animals living in the tree watched as the strange buds grew, and in a matter of days, burst open. From each bud zoomed forth a tiny sprite. These Wood Nymphs quickly scattered around Anumün in a frenzy of mischief.

Results

Mycelic Slipspawn took a beating in the first round, but the result was that my lineup was able to take out the opponents tank and walk away with the remainder of the team at nearly full health. Wood nymph was taken out early but she was able to keep Grund in the game long enough, with the Golbin's help, which was the strategy.

Looking deeper I was taking a bit of a chance running with Mylor. I guessed a heavier dose of melee was coming my way, but in the end it worked out. A better lineup would have been to run with Obsidian and boost my magic damage. This makes sense as I used a magic monster in each spot outside of the first.

In the end I enjoy using the Wood Nymph, especially when I can pair her with the Goblin psychic to make the tank last as long as possible.
