Splinterlands - Defender of Truth (Weekly Post)

Not my favorite life alpha epic but second best is the Defender of Truth (DoT). Jokingly there are only two alpha epic monsters. The Wind Elemental by far I use more often than Defender of Truth. However recent updates in cards has made Defender of Truth more viable since it is magic attack.

Battle Using Defender of Truth

The following battle is one where I used DoT with Divine Sorceress for a one two magic punch while they both also provided extra defense to the formation.

The match was a low 17 mana and had rule sets super sneak and little league. The benefit of going with DoT and Divine Sorceress is their low mana use. I would lead off with Baby Unicorn followed up with Crystal Werewolf, Ooze, Furious Chicken, Divine Sorceress, and end with Defender of Truth. While my opponent went with Baby Unicorn, Feral Spirit, Ooze, Furious Chicken, Divine Healer, and finish off with Peacebringer. A life versus life battle with formation almost the same with only the last two monsters different. The level of the monsters were slightly in favor for me since I had a max level summoner I also had four out of the six monsters at max level.

Round 1

A little over midway of the first round I was able to knock out my opponent's Baby Unicorn. The round ends with 6 to 5 monsters.

Round 2

In the start of the round my Baby Unicorn was knocked out but by end of the round my Crystal Werewolf held its ground while my opponent lost their Feral Spirit and Peacebringer. Now it was five against three monsters. Also worth noting my opponent's Ooze was down to health of 2 and my DoT's Protect ability help defend my monsters from knockout.

Round 3

All of my monsters still up while my opponent's Divine Healer was left at the end of round 3. Clearly this was a victory for me.

Round 4

This match ends with my DoT knocking out Divine Healer to make it a win.

Conclusions

A great way to end the battle was my DoT having the final attack. Not much to say but DoT did its job and the rest of the team combined had enough attack to outlast and knock out my opponent. DoT was helpful not only in its attack but also in its ability of protect. Protect basically neutralize my opponent's attacks as melee and range all hit toughness stats first. As long as my monsters were on the field it was enough attack power to knock out my opponents.

In addition to Divine Sorcerer there are other magic attack life monsters.

High Priest Darius and Bila The Radiant are also good use in a combo with life magic monsters. If I had higher mana count and had to use life splinter I likely would have chosen these two with combo of DoT.
