Hi everyone, this is my first post in this category named Guides and Strategies.
Today's topic is the most asked counter topic and it's always a major issue for almost everyone.
It's none other than Countering the most overpowered summoner in low mana battles called Scarred Llama Mage. It's a legendary summoner which consumes 7 mana and belongs to Earth splinter. It has unique abilities which makes it so much deadly. First, Cleanse ability which makes the first standing monster get purified every round of all negative effects. Second a whooping +2 health to all monsters. And last but the most powerful last stand ability which makes any monster which is alone on battlefield for your team gets double stats. U can simply say it put that monster on steroids.
People usually use this summoner in low mana battles and more especially in poison matches. It simply purifies the poison on tank or first monster and when it becomes last give it double stats.
Now let's come to the counter section.
First: if mana size is high, using high damage and weaken effect which makes magic attack 1 less which usually comes for kron the undying .
Second: if mana size is moderate like between20-30, using strong assassins with sneak ability usually solves the issue
Third: low mana matches ie below 20. This is where many struggles against this summoner.
First on our list is low tier matches: using weaken and tank with magic reflect ability and using full sneak team.
Second is middle tier like silver and gold league, using strong archers like prince rennyn or selenia sky or yodin zaku with fast paced monsters to kill them before they react along with weaken like mushroom seer.
Third and most asked, high elo like gold and diamond leagues. Best counter so far I have discovered is combo of any +1 attack summoner along with the new chaos legendary neutral monster legionnaire Alvar.
This monster single handedly take down on Scarred llama mage. Even in poison matches it works like charm. It just takes 9 mana to enter. And what makes this card a killer is his abilities. Void shield to avoid taking direct hit on health with magic hit.
Giant killer to deal double damage to high mana monsters like kron the undying. Demoralize to reduce melee attack of enemy , very useful against flesh golem. And last but not the least deathblow which deals double damage to last monster of enemy team. It has 3 melee attack as usual on max level, combined with +1 melee attack summoner it makes 4 melee attack. Suppose enemy has last monster as kron with last stand. it has 10 mana+ so it'll deal double damage which is 8 . again since it's last monster, it'll deal double damage again, which is whooping16 damage on single hit.
I hope you enjoyed it . suggestions are always welcome.
See you in the next post. Till then keep yourself safe and have fun.
