Iziar and the Taunt & Triage Ability Combo
Hello Splinterlands warriors and welcome back to my blog!
Iziar is one of my favorite units in the Chaos Legion set. She deals decent magic damage at level one and has the excellent health of a tank. Her utility is her Taunt ability coupled with Void that she already possess at only level one. She is an effective Taunt unit especially against magic attacks. I usually place her in the rear and combo her with a unit with Triage ability. The combo ensures that she survives longer with the healing she receives. Now with the Outsider ruleset, I have a chance to play with this combo once again.
Lore
Iziar is the last surviving member of the Blesog, an ancient race of storm giants who dwell in the towering Agniavas Mountains. After losing her beloved, she lives in solitude while nurturing their unborn children. She is preparing them to one day carry on their people's legacy. She spends her days mastering the forces of nature, wielding lightning and storms with unmatched power. According to Blesog prophecy, the storm giants will descend from their mountain peaks only when the land itself is threatened, unleashing catastrophic tempests upon anyone who stands against them. When the Chaos Legion came, Iziar descended from the mountain to attack them.
Stats and Abilities
Iziar has great stats and already possess her useful abilities at level one. Her stats only increases as she levels up. At level three, she gains another ability, Martyr, that increases the stats of adjacent units when she gets defeated.
Featured Battle
In this battle, I was up against a magic team which was perfect for Iziar. I used the Frontier archon that grants armor to allies. In the tank position, I had one mana Halfling Refugee. He is an good tank for only one mana cost. Next, I had Nimbledook Explorer in second position. He has the twin abilities of Protect and Armored Strike. Together with the archon, his armor goes up to five which means he gains a melee attack of five. Next to him was Shiraza who will grant him two magic attack with Shiraza's Weapons Training ability. Next in line was Conclave Tracker who I recently wrote about in a previous post. Her role was to repair the team's armor. Her ability is crucial since the ruleset included Weak Magic meaning magic attacks can be blocked by armor. In fifth position was the Caravan Guard whose role was to heal Iziar with his Triage ability. Lastly, Iziar served as the Taunt unit to draw enemy attacks. Her high health coupled with Void ability and healing ensured that she survived long enough for her team to do damage to the enemy. The strategy worked so well that my team won without losing a single unit.
