What's Good Splinterlands!

On this post I'll be sharing my battle using Life Sapper. I normally wouldn't use this card if I had the choice, because when I use Death Element, my go-to card with Life leech would be Venari Bonesmith. Why? Here's why.

Card Comparison

Life Sapper	Venari Bonesmith
Level 5	Level 5
Mana cost: 3	Mana cost: 4
Magic Damage: 2	Magic Damage: 1
Speed: 3	Speed: 4
Health: 3	Health: 4
Mana cost: 3	Mana cost: 4
Ability: Life Leech	Ability: Life Leech, Poison

• Even though the Life Sapper has a lower mana cost, by level 5 its scaling may be practical for low mana pool game, but not much use for 25 and above Mana Pool, it would be just a waste of slot.
• Venari Bonesmith extra skill Poison is better during battle. Once Poison hits a monster it will continuously damage the enemy card every start of its turn.
• (Just a theory) The higher the speed, the higher the chance of Poison applying to enemy, so I'd choose Venari Bonesmith over Life Sapper
• At Level 6 Venari Bonesmith Has 2 Magic Damage per turn, which can activate as low as Silver league and if you're using a Level 5 Gold Foil Card

Verdict?

Venari Bonesmith level scaling is way better than Life Sapper, with ⬆️❤️ Health, ⬆️💥 Magic Dmg, ⬆️🥾 Speed, +☠️ Poison Dmg. But for better verdict, I'll live that up to you.

☠️ Life Sapper Battle Walkthrough ☠️

Normally when MANA POOL is above 20, I would always assume it would be a battle with an 🌳 Earth Element, (regardless of their last shown battles) and I notice the `Current Meta` is more of Magic Damage Owster Rotwell would never be a miss.
Summoner
Owster Rotwell
Monsters:
Nightmare - ⬆️ Health (10) can absorb ⬆️ Damage, Flare Ability to take down possible healer at the back of first position
Crypt Beetle - Backup Meat Shield
Life Sapper - By any chance the two tanks in frontend fails this is where Life Sapper comes in, by the time this is on the first position, it have leeched enough life to be the 3rd tank
Magi Necrosi - Damage inflictor; Magic dmg to ignore shield
Silent Sha-vi - Damage inflictor Melee dmg on the back end position

⬆️Battle from the Cards above ⬆️

Round 1

• As Predicted, opponent uses Earth Element focused on Magic, with a Healer Card on the last Position, which Shavi can take care of.
• Took out the healer Goblin Psychic by end of Round 1

Round 2

• Since opponent is using Obsidian Summoner, giving all his Magic Attack +1 plus his Unicorn Mustang with 3 Melee dmg, He was able to take out my Nightmare's from 10 to 0 Health by the start of Round 2.
• But thats good enough to shield all my other cards.

Round 3

• Start of Round 3, Khmer Princess and Regal Peryton is done for.
• All he have now is his Unicorn Mustang his lame ass Horny Toad From with at 1 Health

Round 4-5

• Round 4 was quick but he was able to take out my Crypt Beetle and Life Sapper but kill Horny Toad from the back end with Sha-vi.
• Round 5 All he have was Unicorn Mustang and I still 4 combined damage of Melee and Magic, 4 since Unicorn Mustang has Void skill which lowers down Magic damage by -1 point.
• And that's GG.

💀 Another Life Sapper Battle 💀

For this battle its at 30 Mana Pool and it's an obvious move that at this MP, will definitely use Obsidian Summoner and Magic Damage.
Sames apply I used:
Summoner:Owster Rotwell
Monster:
Bone Golem Cursed Windeku Life Sapper Magi Necrosi Silent Sha-vi

With Owster Rotwell Deflect Magic Skill, Bone Golem and Cursed Windeku having ⬆️❤️ High Heath, plus Bone Golem's Void Skill and Cursed Windeku Return damage from Melee attack.
This Battle is all about Reflecting back damage

"What you give, you will receive."

First and Second position Cards will do the Tanking and the rest would talk care of clear damage output.

⬆️Battle from Card above⬆️

Round 1

• Round 1, This battle has extra condition Fury which all damaged card would amplify its based damage, Opponent has full stack hand, while I have less than one, but no worries this would be Easy
• Opponent got the first turn, and would deflect back all magic damages taken.

Round 2

• Start of Round 2, Opponents remaining card down to 3, and I still have all of my cards. On this Round Bone Golem would obviously taken down, but did some great help reflecting all incoming Magic dmg. so by the end of the round.
  

Round 3

• Round 3, All he got is just the Unicorn Mustang, which obviously this is considerably very much done.
• EZGGWP
  

End Note

Pretty much I would use Life Sapper as the Last line of Tanking Defense, since can accumulate health from Life Leech Skill, but the two battles clearly shows a different approach in winning battle.
