Hello Splinterlands warriors and welcome back to my blog!
I've been playing more and more with Jolius Blast in the Modern mode. Even though he is only level one, he can hold his own against Modern cards. In the battle that I will show, he was able to take down three enemy units by himself. By the way, Jolius Blast is an Arena Vanguard card designed by @iblast. He started his life in the Frontier but he can also play in Modern or other modes of play especially when he levels up to max where his full potential is unleashed.
Featured Battle - Low Mana with Painforge Ruleset
The battle was only limited to twenty five mana so it seems counterintuitive to use a thirteen mana card like Jolius Blast. I had a battle strategy in mind that depended on Jolius Blast's high health stat and No Pain, No Gain ruleset. Since the ruleset also included Shapeshift Happens, I chose the Earth archon to give Jolius the Execute ability.
Now, my plan was to pair Jolius with Blazebeard Merc.
At level one it deals two melee damage and has good defensive stats. More importantly, it has Incendiary debilitation. My strategy was for Jolius to hopefully get the burning status. It will trigger Painforge each round that will increase Jolius's attack. He has a lot of health so he can defeat the enemy before he burns to death. I also included a healer in the team to recover health. Consequently, I only had three units in the team.
The enemy used the standard approach and had low mana units. His best card was Little Sister who can recover health as she does damage. Unfortunately for the enemy, Jolius has Void that negates magic attacks.
Jolius did not get the burning status and he was left alone against three enemies.
He relied on his three melee damage, high health and Void ability to win solo against three enemies.
