Hello Splinterlands summoners and welcome back to my blog!
Djinn Oshannus was my favorite magic tank in the Chaos Legion set. In the early days, he was a perfect combo with the archon Alric Stormbringer who adds one magic damage to the team.
The Frontier archon is similar to Alric but just needs more mana. The good thing is, the combo can be used in today's Modern meta. In today's post, we'll go over Djinn Oshannus's lore, stats & abilities and show a sample battle.
Lore
The lore in the Splinterlands game is more about the Djinns in general:
Dawn of the Djinn 3 of 4 - The Djinn are angry at the way they were tricked by the Planet, but also appreciative that they can now enjoy this limited freedom, each trapped by natural forces. The Djinn possess powerful ancient magic of their own, which is now charged into the force of one element for each of them. The ancient demons of war are an awkward bunch to be chosen as a planetary defensive force, but they are also impressively capable of the job. As long as they are bound by the Planet, they will do its bidding. Whatever their would-be choices and allegiances, they will fight against the Chaos Legion to protect the sixth mana gate.
The new card, Oshannus Unmade tells more about what happened to Djinn Oshannus when he battled with Portia Nyr.
In the end, all that remained of the great djinn known as Azraq Oshannus—who had raged like a storm for centuries, who had fought and conquered and ruled and loved—was a puddle of evaporating water at Portia's feet.
Stats and Abilities
Djinn Oshannus is built like a tank. He has a high health pool of eleven but his offense is also exceptional. He deals three magic damage and is very fast with five speed stats. On abilities, he has anti magic in his kit including Void and Phase that uses his speed to his advantage. He is best with the archon Marlai Singariel who like Alric grants one magic attack to all units.
Featured Battle
This battle showcases Djinn Oshannus as a tank in all magic team. The power of an all magic team led by Marlai Singariel cannot be denied. Magic teams are highly offensive and usually cannot be blocked by armor. They just need a beefy tank in front since magic units usually are glass cannons. Djinn Oshannus fits this role well with his high health, tremendous speed and anti magic abilities. In this battle, the magic team cut through the enemy like hot knife on butter.
