Earth Core Complete! 🌿⚔️ My Highest-Win-Rate Lineup (and Why It Slaps)
Woohoo — I finally completed my core Earth splinter lineup and it’s been printing wins. I’ve experimented with a bunch of builds lately, but this one consistently tilts the battlefield in my favor. It’s simple, brutal, and oh-so-satisfying to watch unfold in replays (I even recorded a YouTube Shorts of one of the matches because it looks that cool 😎).
The Squad
| Kaylia Silverleaf | Silverleaf Warlock | Silverleaf Ranger |
|---|---|---|
 |  |  |
Summoner: Kaylia Silverleaf (MVP, no contest)
Tanks: Endless Ape (frontline bruiser) and Dread Tafarian (off-tank / second slot)
Backline Damage:
- Silverleaf Ranger (ranged delete button)
- Silverleaf Warlock (steady pressure)
- Blackmoor Elf (magic finisher / flexible slot)
This six-pack is my most reliable configuration across my recent games. Among all my lineups, this one clearly has the highest win rate.
Why It Works (AKA: The Execute Show)
Kaylia Silverleaf brings one clutch gift to the party: Execute. When my opponent’s unit drops low, Execute lets my Magic and Range splinters immediately finish the job, and that extra strike is exactly what flips close fights.
- Silverleaf Ranger already dishes out fast, repeat pressure. With Execute in play, those “almost dead” enemies don’t survive the round.
- Silverleaf Warlock chips away safely from the back until targets are in Execute range, then boom — cleanup time.
- Blackmoor Elf adds consistent magic damage that ignores armor and puts enemies into that sweet finishing window.
Meanwhile, up front:
- Endless Ape soaks the opening salvo and refuses to fall over.
- Dread Tafarian anchors the second slot, ready to step forward if Ape goes down, keeping my backline protected and firing.
The result? A wall up front and a firing squad in the back. My tanks absorb everything; my backline delivers the pain. You can literally see the momentum swing when Execute chains kick in — it feels like the battle tilts on a hinge and crashes down on the enemy side.
My Positioning Blueprint
If you peek at the screenshot above, you’ll notice a few simple rules I follow:
- Endless Ape in Position 1 to eat hits immediately.
- Dread Tafarian in Position 2 as the contingency tank. If the frontline falls, the engine keeps running.
- Silverleaf Ranger in the mid-back: close enough to start work early, far enough to avoid early snipe/sneak trouble.
- Silverleaf Warlock and Blackmoor Elf tucked in the final slots to keep them safe for as long as possible.
I tweak the exact backline order based on what I expect (e.g., if I sniff Sneak, I’ll shield my squishiest last; if I expect Snipe, I bury my caster a bit deeper). But the core idea never changes: protect the damage, feed Execute.
When It Feels Unfair (in a good way)
This lineup steals games that look 50/50 on paper. Enemies with chunky armor? Magic + pressure solves that. Teams that heal through chip? Execute denies those stabilizing turns. Even in scrappy, low-mana lobbies, the Ape + Tafarian backbone buys just enough time for Ranger/Warlock/Blackmoor to clean house.
And honestly… it’s fun. Like, grinning at the monitor fun. Watching a unit fall, then immediately watching the follow-through strike erase the next target never gets old. 😂
What’s Next
I’ll keep leveling these pieces methodically and saving a few alternative sideboard picks for weird rulesets — but the Earth core stays. If you want to see the magic, I posted a quick YouTube Shorts of one of the battles so you can watch the front line absorb everything while the elves do elf things in the back. 🌿✨
If you’re building around Earth right now, try this shell:
- Kaylia Silverleaf
- Endless Ape / Dread Tafarian
- Silverleaf Ranger / Silverleaf Warlock / Blackmoor Elf
Protect your backline, play for Execute windows… and enjoy the win streak. 🐉🔥
