A while back, I was theory crafting on what else I can do with Scarred Llama Mage. I found Neal McSpadden's game in youtube featuring Scarred Llama Mage and Gelatinous Cube. However, it required you to unlock Gelatinous Cube's Heal ability. So, I kind of made the same idea with another monster that cannot attack when in 1st position, while being able to heal a ton.

This is my more inferior version of Gelatinous Cube and Scarred Llama Mage Combo.

Stats | Cornealus

_{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

Cornealus is a legendary monster from Untamed Series. He's weirdly a great tank because of his abilities and high health. However, being a range unit, he cannot attack unless been given a Close Range ability via rules of combat or a summoner.

_Abilities

At level 1, Heal is unlocked. Heal ability allows the monster to recover a third of his health at the start of his turn, rounded down. Heal and range ability makes Cornealus a good blocker for Sneaks but in this case, also as a tank.

---

At level 2, Thorns is unlocked. Thorns return 2 melee damage to any melee attacker that hits Cornealus. This makes him a good counter against Sneaks as most sneak monsters are melee monsters as well.

---

At level 3, Return Fire is unlocked. Return Fire ability does not half any damage but will return half of any attacker's range attack, minimum of 1.

---

At level 4, Magic Reflect is unlocked. Magic Reflect ability does not half any damage but will return half of any attacker's magic damage, minimum of 1.

𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 Scarred Llama Mage and Cornealus? 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒕?

Yes. I think it's a good strategy to be on your pocket. However, one good side of Splinterlands is that there's no strategy that is unbeatable. If you can anticipate this strategy, you can actually out heal Cornealus by using big hitters.

That is why this strategy is more useful on lower mana matches, just enough for you to get both Scarred Llama Mage and Cornealus on board.

---

ᒪIᑎEᑌᑭ

_{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

Summoner: Scarred Llama Mage: A legendary summoner that gives your team an extra 2 health. She can also remove any negative status and effects at the start of each of turn of your monster in 1st position. Lastly, Scarred Llama Mage gives all of your monsters Last Stand ability which increases all of their stats by 50% if they're the last monster on your board.

1. Failed Summoner: A low mana cost monster with 4 health. Good defense due to his Magic Reflect ability.

On lower mana matches, I intentionally use level 1 monsters because I needed them to be eliminated immediately in order to get stucked as the last monsters for the Last Stand ability.

1. Kron the Undying: High health magic damage monster with Heal. Can also be a good target for Scarred Llama Mage's Last Stand.

2. Cornealus: A high health range monster that has the ability to Heal himself. Second strategy to Scarred Llama Mage.

ᗪIᗪ YOᑌᖇ ᔕTᖇᗩTEGY ᗯOᖇKEᗪ?

Yes. This strategy abuses a certain Splinterlands mechanic called, "Fatigue." After round 20, at every round, all monsters on the field will take 1 damage. This fatigue damage cannot be reduced or negated. It passes through shield, or immunity ability. In addition to that, this damage is increased by 1 every round. This damage compounds.

To make it easier to understand, at round 21, every monsters take 1 damage. At round 22, everything takes 2 damage. At round 23, everything takes 3 damage and so on.

Logically, speaking, at fatigue rounds, anyone who does not have the ability to heal themselves would die first.

---

ᗯᕼᗩT ᗯIᒪᒪ YOᑌ TᖇY ᗪIᖴᖴEᖇEᑎTᒪY ᑎE᙭T TIᗰE?

None. This strategy is risky in terms that you can be outdamaged by your opponent because on first position, you cannot attack. Also, this strategy is kind of like a backup strategy of Scarred Llama Mage x Kron the Undying.

Either of the two die, I have a strong monster that heals a ton that would survive the fatigue rounds.
