Welcome again!! to the new weeks Social media challenge post everyone and happy holidays to you all who celebrate. First of all before getting into today's post topic i would like enquire your best ability in splinterlands, comment that below what ability completes your strategy for winning battles in splinterlands game, today i am going to enlighten you of my experience with using the **heal ability monster ** which are among my favourite abilities in splinterlands. This post is going to entail a brief breakdown of these abilities and how they play out in battles considering battle circumstance and other affects .

The heal and dodge abilities are among my favourite cards because i believe in the notion of not getting hit at all in a battle or at least event if you get hit, getting your lifeline restored should be an alternative guaranteed a higher chance of winning . The healing monster card with ability to heal itself and other cards thereby extending it lifeline in a battle and possibly that of its team monster is a always good plus in a battle the dodge ability which works incredibly at avoiding getting hit at all is also another important ability in a battle in my opinion.

HEAL ABILITY

Cards with heal ability

Usefulness (how they operate generally)
Heal ability in Splinterlands are card with help to repair a portion of its own health, tank monsters and **** monsters every round in a battle. In spliterlands the heal abilities are of three types.

Heal - This is an ability to self-heal a portion of its own health every round.

Tank heal- This monster cards have the ability heal a portion front-line monster tank health in a battle every round.

Traige- this is an ability to heal a portion of the back-line monsters health in a battle.

Advantages

• Healing cards Support tank monster in healing their health points which guarantee's long lasting tanks in battle.

• Heal monsters have and advantage of healing themselves, and a very good strategy is placement of this cards in tank position.

• Heal monster with attacks gives them a double advantage in a battle, because apart from the fact they heal they also attack opponents using this perk.

• Heal ability monster are also perfect for low-mana cap battle because, in a battle that allows a limited number of monster where you might be forced to pick low mana cards having a heal monster and sustaining the heal monster would heal your cards repeatedly in every round so long it remains in the battle

Although there are several advantages to using the heal ability in a battle but this abilities may also have downside in a battle according to different .

Downsides

• Most Heal monsters card come with low health point which would be eliminated quickly depending on positioning in the battle lineup.

• The heal ability that sustains other monsters in the line up ends the moment the heal ability monster is eliminated in the team, if your front-line mosnters is soley dependent on this ability in a battle, your chances of wining reduces.

Best way to use in a team

• The strategy to use this ability heal is dependent on the elemental team you are using and battle ruleset too, the heal monsters in splinterlands comes with different perks and buffs and stats, so positioning and placement strategy would always look different in a battle, for example if a healing monster card low health point attack to its stats its best that this monster is placed in the mid-back-line unless this monster has a good stats like kron the Undying then it can be used as tank causing it to heal itself every round thereby sustaining its lifeline .

• in a low mana cap it is best use a card like mardaali guardian with a low mana cap of 3 it has no attack which dosen't seem a good for a game ,but its being placed in the mid-back-line of game to heal the other monster is good

• when using a taunt monster in the team considering that this would be the most targeted monster having a heal monster in your team is solid to keep healing this monster and might guarantee you a win.

DODGE ABILITY

cards with dodge ability

Usefulness (how they operate generally)
Monster cards with Dodge ability has a high (+25%) chance of evading Melee or Ranged attacks.

Advantages in lineup

• The higher the monster speed creates and increased chance of invading attacks ill be very hard to hit by Melee and Ranged attacks.

• Dodge monsters has increased chance of lasting longer in a battle over an ability like thorn

Downside

• might be ineffective against battle with Aim True ability monsters , in which every attack hits target.

Best way to use in a team

• Regardless of this card position it has the advantage of being able to work its ability from any position on the line up, dodge ability is best to be use in first or last position to protect back-line monster, to stall and buy time, in a battle with opponent with no opportunity monster they wont target back-line monster and only this monster.

GENERAL CONCLUSION

My general conclusion of choosing to use any of these abilities in the splinterlands battles is that taking into consideration things like rulesets and previously used elementals by opponents which have been made available before battle, strategising have been made easy to determine your placement of this card abilities

Previous element used by opponents- when this is viewed this would help you determine firstly the elemental to battle with, because the different elementals in splinterlands come with different stats specific to their cards ,

Battle ruleset- The battle ruleset is the determinant of card elemental to choose in the beginning also as this allows you choose cards that have abilities you would want to implement in a battle, so when considering to use an ability in a battle make sure the ruleset is of advantage to the team and ability you use in the a lineup.

Thank you all for reading today's post i am going to end it here, would love to know your opinions in the comments as usual, and have good one... Also happy new years in advance to you.
