Tank Heal and Scavenger

^{Edited in Canva Pro.}

In this Earth battle, I decided to build around Endless Ape along with other tanks but long fights still need healing to survive. That is where Satha Toledo becomes very important. For only 5 mana, it brings both a little range damage and healing that is needed in this battle.

I paired Satha Toledo with Endless Ape as my main tank. Endless Ape already has high health and can grow more health with Scavenger. Because of that, healing becomes more powerful as the battle goes longer. This combo is simple but very effective. To make this more scary, two of my units also have the blessing of Elowen Sylphie giving them both Resurgence and Trample.

Stats

Satha Toledo is mainly a support. She is not a tank, but she helps tanks survive much longer. With 3 ranged damage at max level, that is still a decent chunk and 4 speed makes it a bit consistent in dealing damage each round. The 1 armor and 6 health is average but fine for a backline monster. What makes it strong is Tank Heal especially when paired with high health tanks like Endless Ape. Tanks can still fall quickly when opponents bring high damage. The healing every round makes a big difference. It also works well with units that gain health over time as long as they increase their max health along the process.

Tank Heal is the main reason to use Satha Toledo in any battles. Since Endless Ape has high health and can gain more from Scavenger, the healing becomes stronger each round. The heal scales based on the target’s health, so bigger tanks benefit more. This makes it very good in long fights as long as it wouldn't hit Satha Toledo. In some battles, just the combination of these two can deal with the whole team of monsters as long as the opponents cannot out damage he heal Satha Toledo can do.

Lookout reduces damage from Sneak, Opportunity and Snipe to monsters beside Satha Toledo. This helps protect key backline units from being burst down too fast. However, Lookout does not reduce damage to Satha Toledo itself if she was the main target of the attack. This does not work on units with Taunt as well so it wouldn't reduce the damage that Bellowmancer gets in the battle example below.

Battle

My two main tanks, Giant Alpine Skink and Lioceros got hit by opponent Archon, Reklah, -2 health. This is a huge blow for me under normal conditions but not when I am using Elowen Sylphie. Elowen Sylphie doesn't give stats but gives Charge to other Avian and Mundane Beast bloodlines. Every single Mundane Beast I have in this battle are considered tanks that can attack from any position thanks to Charge. So, while they reduced the health of 2 of my tanks, there's 2 more behind those and another Taunt monster, Bellowmancer, at the very back. This is a very bad matchup for my opponent, unfortunately. The opponent's team may have 3 Taunt monsters but I have 5 tanks (7 tanks if you include Resurgence on the two other tanks) and Satha Toledo healing them one at a time so it doesn't really matter. At the end, I won with an overwhelming victory against a supposedly hard team.

The Tank Heal is stronger than I thought. Yes, it heals the main tank which is normal but not if you combine Scavenger and Resurgence to that tank. This caught me off guard because I never thought that Resurgence gives back the stacks made by the Scavenger.

As you can see, originally, my Endless Ape only have 11 health but now is at 19 health after Resurgence from Elowen Sylphie. This made him gain 6 health every round from Satha Toledo's Tank Heal. While the damage is not that high between the two of them, the heal is still high enough to kill 3 of the enemies with just the 2 of them.
