Stitch Leeches are able to heal themselves and others of their wounds. They are found in the deepest caves of the world and are bred from the life energy they take from others. Once they latch onto their victim, they siphon out healing life element to cure themselves. Magical practitioners have even been trained to use them as portable life magic. Though it is a dangerous practice and comes with the risk of the leech biting them

Round 1 | Lineup

Splinter	Mana Cost	Position	Reason
Drake of Arnak	4	Summoner	Due to lost magic, having a +1 armor is great~! Choose dragon instead cause I have level 2
Djinn Chwala	8	1st	The bread and butter of a dragon tank
Twilight Basilisk	4	2nd	Lv 2 splinter with reach
Stitch Leech	3	3rd	Chaos Expansion Feral Cat Counterpart
Venari Crystalsmith	4	4th	A healer
Scabo Hireling	3	5th	A “armor” healer
Naga Assassin	2	6th	High-speed back row folder!
Total Mana:	28

Oh my gosh! full set of gold cards! scary~~~ Now I am worried as his 6th position is of higher speed and comes with self-healing. His tank also has self-healing with a splinter supporting it with tank heal.

Round 2

With my additional shield! It manages to block some damage. The naga assassin speed is working as intended. With the sniper over at the opponent side, my tank healer can only survive 2 more rounds. The Scavo hireling should be able to assist in repair my main tank shield.

Round 4

The opponent's main tank did not survive the 2nd round and with the sneak attacker got killed off at round 3 by thorn damage. As expected, my healer got sniped, and looks like I have more advantage due to the shield I have.

Final Round

As I have foreseen, the Scavo hireling repair managed to save the day. Poor Stitch Leech you can’t even work as intended!

Thoughts on Stitch Leech

I think it has more potential in the higher league as compared to Feral Spirit who is much faster in the early league. At level 6 it learns life leech! this basically makes it more durable than feral if it manage to connect its attack. But with the match I had, Stitch Leech is just a waste of a slot, it did not do anything worthwhile, that was disappointing!
