The Strength Of Corrupted Healing

Greetings Splinterland Summoners

Welcome to my weekly Splinterlands post. As usual I write some Splinterlands post regularly every week, they are my experience and opinions about this wonderful game.

Today I want to share or talk about Corrupted Healing, it is one of the abilities that introduced later stage, about last year. So only newer players familiar with this one, and there are some debate whether this one is good or this one is over power.

The first card that has this ability was Arachne Weaver. Sadly I have only one BCX of this gold foil card, I hope I have it more but I did not have the luck to get it.

The pro or the over power part of this Corrupted healing is that the ability recovers 70% of max health. So it is not 2 health point, 3 health point such as triage, healing and tank heal. Imagine you have a tank that has 20 health points, one corrupted healing will add 14 health point, how on earth your opponent can kill that tank?

To put it more powerful, it heals everyone except the unit itself. So it is like a combination of tank heal and triage. So one unit of this ability holder could lift up entire line up. That's why some see this ability as over power, and sometime I see that way too, if the requirements or conditions are met.

However this ability is not perfect, the downside is it will reduce one max hit point everytime a unit healed by this ability. So it would not last forever, the healed one is treated as if they get hit by a cripple attack.

Today I will show you one of my battle that shows how OP is corrupted healing, then we talk about "conditions" that are needed

Ok I pick this battle from modern Silver Rank battle. I know some of you might think this battle is not balanced, regarding my opponent comes with 5 units only. It's 6 vs 5 for my advantage, well you can see that way but if you look deeper, you will see their level are higher and they bring max level legendary card.

They have a high attack damage too, 11 melee damage and 5 magic damage. That's will deliver 16 damage per round, and it is hard to say that won't hurt at all. My attack power is 6 melee damage and 8 magic damage, a bit lower than them.

However I won this battle, yes what else? I would not share my losing battle right? The idea of this post is to share the condition of the corrupted healing needed so it would make your team over power:

1. Don't let the unit easily killed. The problem is the corrupted healing could not heal the ability holder. So do not put the unit at the position that is vulnerable to sneak attack and snipe attack. Well, nothing could prevent opportunity attack.
2. Your team must have killing orientation. I mean a unit that really hit very hard to kill something. Do have a unit or two that hit hard more than 3 damage. Make sure they would keep killing their target, you will need it.
3. Because Corrupted Healing will heal everyone, so make sure everyone is worthy for a heal. Do not bring 1-3 health point units, they do not need healing, they will die instantly from a poke lol.

See my team above, they follow those 3 condition right? that's why I won this battle.

THE RESULT

Let see the progress step by step here

I will skip the first round, it is a total disaster for my opponent. They lose their night reaper in a round, because I have these two ambush units

Chaos Evoker +2 magic damage and Warborn Shaman +3 magic damage. 5 magic damage from ambushes and 5 magic damage in the first round = 10 damage, the night reaper is out for sure. This is what I mean by having a killing orientation. Just aim to kill a unit, do not think too much about build up tactic or powering up meta. Corrupted healing is not working well in over defensive meta.

From the beginning of round three, we can see that:

1. The killing continue, they will keep losing a unit every round. Even my backup plan, Grove Doomblade keeps missing his +5 sneak melee damage, but their tank will definitely die.
2. My team should be in deep shit right now, four of our units are poisoned. But this is how Corrupted healing will prevail as OP ability.

Look at my team when the last unit lands the final blow. Everyone health points are in white color, it means all of my team are in max health. This is the strength of Corrupted Healing, which some people say OP ability.

When you use a corrupted healing holder, make sure you remember the three points I have shared above. Aim offensively, do not put the unit easily targeted and have big boys with you. That's my message today and and feel free to leave your comments and opinions below.
