Card Spotlight #24: Angelic Mandarin

╘═══════════════╡°•✧•°╞═══════════════╛

The card we will be discussing today is Angelic Mandarin.

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.

  Rental/Buy Cost ||

  
  

  Below is the rental of the card at the time of this writing.

  
  
  
  Angelic Mandarin's rental price is low as you can use his level 1 for free. If you're not planning to use him on higher levels, then use the free one instead.

Below is the buy cost of the card at the time of this writing.

Angelic Mandarin's price is low right now due to him not being used a lot. There's a lot of supply with little demand due to him not being used a lot in the early levels.

Card Stats ||

Mana: 3 || Damage: 1 || Speed: 2 || Armor: 0 || Health: 5
Angelic Mandarin's stats overall are on the low side. However, being a low mana monster, this is decent. Using low mana cost monsters allow you to either use more monsters or add more powerful one. Either way, the mana cost is the reason you add Angelic Mandarin and not the stats. ════════════════════════════════

Card Effect ||

Triage is an underrated ability because most of the time, your back line are defended against damage. Triage is most useful against Sneaks and it allows your Sneak blocker to survive longer.

Silence || Reduces the Magic Attack of all enemy Monsters.
Angelic Mandarin is a good support monster when leveled up. You have a low leveled monster that reduces magic damage. Add Bortus and a void ability to the mix and you get an anti mage line up against Water mages, dragons or Earth elements.

Positioning ||

POSITIONING:

The best position for this card is at the last position. He's normally used as a Sneak blocker and protection for your monsters. In this game, due to him being the only range monster and everyone else is melee, Angelic Mandarin also acts as a bait for the opponent Snipe monster, Death Elemental.

ROUND 1:

By end of Round 1, Carrior Shade has been picked off by Deeplurker's Opportunity. Other than that, there's no deaths but just damages throughout the board.

ROUND 2:

By end of Round 2, another pick off on Death Elemental has been made after Death Elemental does another damage to Angelic Mandarin. Diemonshark is also starting to go low from all other damage on board.

ROUND 3:

By end of Round 3, Diemonshark goes down along with Cursed Windeku. Life Sapper and Deeplurker goes to front disabling Deeplurker's Opportunity abilitiy.

ROUND 4:

By end of Round 4, Life Sapper dies. Soul Stranger goes to front but are not allowed to attack being a ranged unit.

ROUND 5:

By end of Round 5, Soul Strangler dies.

ROUND 6:

By end of Round 6, game ends with the death of Xenith Archer.
════════════════════════════════

Compatibility ||

The best combo with this card for me is with all water monsters. Angelic Mandarin is normally used as a filler which means he is compatible with everyone. He's especially useful on Little League wherein you can use Angelic Mandarin due to him being a 3 mana cost card. ════════════════════════════════

Final Thoughts

With all the evidences that we gathered, we could say that Angelic Mandarin, even without the abilities, are decent. The low damage and low speed are also a negative but his high health makes him useful for blocking Sneaks.

All in all, I would give it...
