New Legendary Summoner: Assumption

Life Summoner Eye Candy

Hello Splinterfam, last Town Hall the creative team released an eye candy for everyone when AMA is about to end and based on the photo that they have released it has garnered a lot of attention, and speculations on what ability the summoner would have, I see people say it might Phase, I bet majority thought about it and it seems logical.

However, I would lay out my speculation or assumption about the summoner, I considered three abilities that this summoner might have, namely PHASE, DISPEL, and IMMUNITY.

I will tackle further why I have these ideas, and please note that these are just assumptions and my ideas, please feel free to discuss your ideas if you have something whole lot different from mine.

Phase

First, and I think the most popular speculation is Phase, I think it would be great to have this ability to all your cards and it will drive Magic Lineup more to the ground, and I think it is a very strong ability, Phase makes Magic attack miss (using the same hit/miss calculation as for Melee and Ranged attacks).

We know that Magic Lineup is really strong, especially in the lower league but it is starting to change with all the magic defense monsters in each splinter has right now, magic has been declining in popularity but don't get it wrong it is still I believe one of the best lineups in the game currently, but you cannot spam it like before (Water Magic Era) where you can make a magic lineup in all your matches and get a good win rate.

I also think life is the only splinter that has no direct counter against magic, especially in Modern aside from you Magic Reflect which we know doesn't really negate the magic attacks instead just return it back to the attacker, what I am talking about is Void and Void Armor, I mean yes there is one or two cards, but they don't really impact the game much if you compared it to other splinters like Earth; Unicorn Mustang, Fire; Grum or Tusk the Wide, Death; Bone Golem, or Mimosa herself, Water; Djinn Oshannus, Baakjira, Torhilo the Frozen and Wave Brood, I am pretty sure you get the idea at this point.

I can imagine how strong my life deck would be with all monsters having the phase ability it will have a decent defense ability against magic. This choice is also the most logical, but I am still considering other abilities, which we would tackle further.

Dispel

Second, is probably the most underrated and most unpopular ability in Splinterlands, the Dispel ability, clears all positive status effects if you hit the enemy, I can see the modern meta full of Speed Buff; Swiftness, Melee Buff; Inspire, HP Buff; Strengthen, and Increased Return Damage; Amplify, I am not sure if it works with Amplify and I want to know if you have experience if it works, but maybe mostly would be Speed Buff and Melee Buff. I don't see a lot of people assuming this ability well maybe because of its unpopularity in nature.

One of the best examples is the Water Melee lineup, with Demented Shark and Level 2 River Hellondale, and using a +1 Melee Damage Daria Dragonscale the melee output damage could be very lethal, but you can easily counter that with Dispel and just by hitting the monster you will have to worry about Darias' plus +1 melee damage instead of +3, but the downside is you will need to spread your damage a little bit and to make sure that you hit dispel on those opportunity or sneak monsters, although I think this might work, it will be harder to execute than what I have imagined, and we know that traditionally spreading your damage is bad overall for your line up and could easily cost you the game.

I am pretty sure that you get the idea that dispel could be a strong ability in Modern Format with all these buffs being effective on modern monsters, I could see modern meta focus on speed and evasion and rely more on Melee and Range buffs than the usual Magic lineups, so imagine having the dispel ability in all your monster, while you also have the same buff and debuff lineup with your Life splinter, that would definitely work well in your favor.

Immunity

Last but definitely not the least I think it will be the Immunity, with Poison getting more popular and the recent release of Waka Spiritblade who gives Poison ability to all monsters, I think it is also logical that a summoner that gives Immunity to all monsters is possible, and I think this is the summoner that can do that, and not only it will negate poison it will also negate other negative effects like Demoralize, Headwinds, Silence, Rust, Slow and the list just goes on.

Your deck would be invulnerable to anything negative and I think that is so useful in a Life deck, to negate all the debuffs that might come your way, to make sure that you keep your buffs which I love to have when running my Life deck because they rely too much on buffs and debuff, at least my deck is, and I am not sure how you run your life deck.

Also, this is the ability that I am really looking forward to, I want them to give this summoner and make its status as Legendary reasonable! I think Immunity is OP and imagine having it in all your cards, that will be CRAZY!

Although I know it is far from possible since it will be a hard counter to Waka Spiritblade which is an expensive Promo Card, although who knows if one of the designers from the top 6 in Presale really pushes a summoner that gives immunity to all monsters, that would be super awesome!

Please note, this is just my ideas and nothing is certain so don't make your investments based on what you read here, it is still not certain what ability will the first legendary summoner have and these are all just assumptions and speculations.

wow! the upcoming summoner looks awesomely awesome! !1UP

It looks awesome indeed! Thanks!

Glad you like it 😉

Oh wow, I missed that second part of the AMA. Looks cool. Need to keep enough money ready to buy 11 BCX asap...

sigh, it never stops 😅

Haha, yea I almost missed it too, it never stops haha after the CL there will then be Riftwatchers! Might need to keep money for that too! 🤣

Damn! Might have to get some packs when this is released

Good luck! You might also want to start gathering some packs now.

Giving immunity would be good but would it be THAT good when it is a legendary summoner? Maybe if the mana cost is 2 🧐 However, great assumptions mate, I like it!🤌

Immunity in my opinion is a very great ability especially in higher tiers where debuffing is the common gameplay, it might not sound especial if you only have 1 monster in your lineup that has Immunity but imagine everyone not being affected by negative buffs you don't have to worry about slow, demoralize, or headwinds, rust, and the list just go on with all the negative effects, you can use all your monsters in their maxed potential and it is not common in higher leagues, where everyone has debuffs. I would even say it would be fair to have it at 7 or 8 mana.

You make some good point! If they so decide to have 7 mana they need to have plus 1 health as well. 7 or 8 mana would just be to much, very few usecases then, I would not buy it👌

Yea, maybe we can add Melee damage and retaliate to make melee life monsters rise up in the ranks, they are just at the bottom right now.

indeed mate!

The light melee will be used for another set i assume.
Mightbe light will het the phase summoner. They need a good awnser for magic.

This immunity will not be paired i think, it already is gooooood.

I think immunity will be OP. No poison in poison battles!! No other debuffs in higher leagues (im only gold, but if you watch higher leagues they really use a lot off debuffs). It's worth more than what other summoners give for 3/4 mana imo it should be around 6.

However, they wont do it🤣 Then waka suddenly lost its OP advantage🤣 and they know that existinG holders of waka will commend it and they are SL best customers. 6??? You crazy bud?😜 if they added plus 1 in health as well then yes🤌

Cheers mate!

Haha, i think you got a valid point, mightbe the lastone they drop so it's as far from the wakka sale as possible :p

Are YOU crazy!? :p also adding +1 health makes the team invincible!!
I predicted that the titan would be worth around 7 dollar, CL would sell out in hours... i'm pretty bad at guessing.

Hehe, only time will tell buddy!😎

I would totally play this one.

Definitely can't wait for this summoner!

A summoner who gives all friendly monsters Phase and Immunity would be a great advantage. I agree that such a combo would be great against the powerful magic teams and against poison rule sets and abilities from monsters and summoners.

Yes, it would be great, with all the debuffs on the Chaos Legion Cards immunity would be super strong in Modern in my opinion.

Yeah, for that reason I've found a slightly leveled up Harklaw to be quite the fighter lately and Cleanse monsters to be more useful.

I can't wait to check these out, they look great but you make them sound " legendary # which I suppose they should! thanks for this greatly composed post

Damn, there went my evening, !lol

Accept this fast rising in value lol token for your sumary, My strongest and most invested in decks has a lvl 4 Cor

Great insight in the major options and speculations. Thanks for the summary. I think phase would make sense. Immunity seems too good to be honnest.

Yes, I mentioned this one is far from possible, cause that would mean hard countering the newest Promo Card Waka which people paid a fortune for. LOL

Contest highlighting the impressive performance of cards in the Arena. Challenge is on.
Cool rewards collect time. Daily quest is so funny.
Exciting competition
Peace

Indeed!

Thanks!

Looks like we guessed the same main one for Phase >:D

I also opted for a guess of a Void Armor +2 Armor summoner as well :3

Yea, I think magic defense makes sense too.

Great minds think alike LOL

Immunity to all friendly monsters is for me too OP. And given that it will directly counter Waka Spiritblade and other summoners (mostly Death), this price would be definitely pricier than Waka Spiritblade or Doctor Blight.

Phase will be somehow a balance one while Dispel is also good but may need additional buff for me to consider a legendary one. This is just my opinion.

Anyway, hoping to get these card whatever abilities it may bring. :D

I agree with immunity, hence I mentioned it is the least possible main ability out of the three, it will nerf aa card that is worth a fortune.

I can't agree with immunity after doing some analysis on it immunity would be downright broken.

Not only would it make poison completely useless, waka completely useless as well as not taking any debuffs, can't be stunned can't be slowed or afflicted and can't have your stats affected is just way too busted. I don't think people realize how strong this ability is tbh. On one monster not so bad but when your entire team gets immunity yikes!!!!

However, if they made it just for the first slot monster then I would be ok with it but if it was all your monsters you could see how that would be a problem. Especially in gold and higher where death has so many debuffs it would literally phase death right out and make it downright useless.

I really like dispel or phase though and personally, I'm thinking forcefield as they need to make some more abilities useful in the game still not sure exactly where this will all go but it is super fun to speculate lol.

I just know I want one when it comes out. If it is immunity I'm selling everything I can and buying them all 🤣 I was thinking if they just do immunity by itself then possibly but I still think that ability is way too busted to give to your entire lineup.

Awesome post bro and great analysis as always

You are right, I actually said that Immunity would be the most least possible ability cause that will be a hard counter to Waka which is a card that costs a fortune, and I am pretty sure the team won't want that.

I agree though Immunity is so OP and people will realized it sooner or later, the modern format focused on and buffs and debuffs and immunity would be super awesome to have.

Thanks for sharing your insight man!
