Hello guys, welcome back to Ramadhanight's Hive Blog on Splinterlands Weekly Battle Challenge's Session. For this week Battle Challenge, Splinterlands have picked Angelic Mandarin as the Weekly Monster, this is one my favourite CL monster on water element, let's see how it goes!

A variety of the already beautiful mandarinfish, the Angelic Mandarinfish is said to be blessed by the magic of the sea. They swim in the most gorgeous of tropical waters, and live peaceful lives in harmony with all around them. It is said that the touch of an Angelic Mandarinfish has healing properties. And that if one sees an injured person in need, they will swim up and stare into your eyes. As if looking into your soul. If they deem you to be kind, they will heal your wounds..

General Information About Angelic Mandarin

As you can see at picture above, Angelic Mandarin is a rare monster that only cost 3 mana, which is very flexible to use on any condition and ruleset. It got 1 range attack and increased into 2 at lv 5. It got high health since first level with 5 health, increased to 6 at lv 2, and could go into 7 health at 7th level. It's high health is perfectly fit with his triage ability, which cause this monster to bring endurance at the backline. This triage abilty could help this monster or it's allies to survive longer on battlefield. This monster could have silence ability at max level for fighting mage monster. What a bargain for a 3 mana cost monster

Even my enemy got higher lv summoner and monster, with right strategies, my team could ended up winning the game. Every monster doing it's part right. Backline tank combined with Angelic Mandarin could help to tank for long enough for the hitter to do their part. The hitter and the stun is really important as well. And Angelic Mandarin having his roles very important since there is eartquake that cause everyone that non flying got 2 damage each round, so the triage are always active.

What i like about Angelic Mandarin:

What i like about Angelic Mandarin is his flexibility because he got low mana cost and just rare monster, so he would fit on most rules and situation. He also offer big bargain with just 3 mana cost, high health along with triage ability makes him a great backline option .

What i don't like about Angelic Mandarin : </div

When to Avoid Angelic Mandarin :

I don't recommend you to use this monster for high mana cap situation, because you can consider other monster with better stats and ability. He also can be useless when there is no heal ruleset.

Angelic Mandarin got great ability with low mana cost for covering the backline monster, but on high mana cap, you would rethink about using this monster as there is other monster with better stats and ability.
