Goblin Psychic in Action

Battle Formation:

As always, the main deciding factor in forming my team is the rules of battle and my current league. I rarely view my opponents’ battle history, I just play my best team.

The rules of battle are as follows:
League: Silver II
Mana Cap: 15
Ruleset: Weak Magic, Reverse Speed
Activated Element: Earth

Summoner
OBSIDIAN	I’ve chosen Obsidian despite the mana cap and weak magic ruleset. I'm still confident in using magic since I'm not expecting any thick armors on my opponents' side.

Position 1
HILL GIANT	I needed to utilize the mana cap so I need to have a cheap card with at least average health. My level 3 Hill Giant is perfect for this scenario, not only that it has 7 health but has also 2 melee attack damage.

Position 2
GOBLIN PSYCHIC	I choose my level 3 Goblin Psychic for obvious reasons. It has 2 (+1) magic attack damage and has tank heal support. This will make my tank last longer while also dealing damage. If ever my tank fails, Goblin Psychics’ 5 health will enable it to fight in the first position.

Position 3
KHMER PRINCESS	I choose Khmer Princess next to maximize the remaining 2 mana left. It has low health but 1(+1) magic attack. Positioned after Goblin Psychic to absorb sneak damage – it’s rare but possible.

Position 4
FUNGUS FIEND	Chosen since it requires no mana and there are still open positions. Positioned at the very back for reasons that the opponent might use a sneak attack.

The Actual Battle:

Post Battle Analysis:

I expected that the opponent will use a line-up of magic attackers. I was wrong. Good thing, I considered the possibility of a sneak attack. Goblin Psychic did an excellent job by providing tank heal support while delivering damage.

Conclusion:

Goblin Psychic is a card that makes you maximize a position slot when forming your team. It is a card you would want to use in mid-to-high mana battles. There are even some instances that I used Goblin Psychic in the first position at low mana battles. To have an edge over your opponent, make sure to level up your Goblin Psychic.

Game On!!! 🙂
