Yodin Zaku Overview

It is improtant to know what makes Yodin Zaku one of the most overpowerded summoner in Splinterlands. Yodin Zaku gives +1 ranged attack, +1 health and Blast to all fielndly monsters. Blast is ability, which does additional damage to monsters adjacent to the target monster. Summoner Yodin Zaku gives this ability to every friendly monster at the start of a battle. Additional damage is equivalent to main damage divided by 2, rounded up. Due to +1 ranged damage the most players use monsters with ranged attack. In addition, the best option is to play tank in the frontline that can take a bunch of hits (high amount of HP plus healing is the best choice). Yodin Zaku is definitely one of the more powerful summoners in the game. You may wonder, which startegy to use in order to beat him? Let's check it below!

• Shield - Reduced damage from Melee and Ranged attacks. Attack damage gets halved (rounded up), except attack 1 which deals 0 damage;
• All monsters with high amount of Speed.

My strategy and lineup

The ruleset of the battle is as follow:

• Keep Your Distance - Monsters with Melee attack may not be used in battles.
• Mana Cap of 29.
• Available Splinters - Fire, Water, Death and Dragon.

If your opponent chose Yodin Zaku many times in previose battles you can expect to fight against him as well. The most important factors that may help you win the battle is speed and abilities that increase your dodge chance.

Two the best summoners from Chaos Legion edition are Kelya Frendul (+1 speed and +1 armor) and Quix the Deviouse (-1 ranged and -1 speed).

From my ruleset I could choose one of them. I decided to take Quix the Deviouse. His abilities suits the best to counter Yodin.

How to calculate dodge?

All right. Let's come to the most important factor wich helped me win the battle: Dodge. Dodge is calculated as a diffence between speed of two monster mutiply by 10%. My Void Dragon have 6 speed with buffs and also flying ability which gives him +25% chance to dodge non flying attacks. My opponent doesn't have flying monsters so it work agains all his monsters.

The Spider Lava has 2 speed after debuffs. In order to calculate chance to dodge we need to take 6 speed from Void Dragon minus 2 speed Spider Lava and multiply by 10%:

• (6 - 2) * 10% = 40%.
• Spider Lava doesn't have flying so we need to add additional 25% from flying, so it makes 65% in total.
• Rest of the monsters have only 1 speed so it's 75% dodge chance.
  

Round 1

I chose Chaos Agent with Dodge ability as a tank. In case my tank dies on the second position is Void Dragon and Djinn Oshannus behin him. This trio has all most importand abilities: flying, dodge and high speed. I put on forth position Venari Wavesmith with Protect - All friendly Monsters gain +2 Armor. At the end is my Suplly Runner with ranged attack and Swiftness, which increased Speed by 1 to all monsters.

Round 2-6

These rounds was very funny due to constant misses from my enemy attakcs. It takes 5 round to kill Cornealus. This is very strong monster with healing ability and high amount of HP. Meanwile my Chaos Agent survived almost 2 round with dozen of misses.

Round 7-10

Finally Cornealus was down. I could easly defeat rest of the monsters one by one. My opponetn left only wuth ranged attack monsters without any tank in font.
