Mycelic Slipspawn - The toxin is spreading through the Splinterlands

By PVM | Mind Puzzle | 12 Sep 2022


The Mycelic Slipspawn is one of Queen Mycelia servants, corrupting and claiming the lands in her name. The mycelic army leaves behind a trail of fungal rot and chaos, as the queen wants the entire Splinterlands as her kingdom.

The Mycelic Slipspawn is a rare Chaos Legion monster under the Earth Splinter. It is the perfect tank for the full magic team leaded by Obsidian, and the Taunt ability will keep the lesser monsters safe and sound.

The monster was first found on the edges of Pretorian swamps. The toxic creature is highly toxic and dangerous, leaving the victims severally debilitated

It's an expensive cookie, costing 9 mana, but you get an armored beast in the front row. The Slipspawn starts with 10 Health Points, 2 Speed and 2 Magic Damage, improving the stats with every level. It becomes an super-tank, as it gain Forcefield and Slow.

Life Devouring Mycelics! t looked like I had to adapt to the Weak Magic battle-rule, as the spells will hit the armor before reducing the health, but I decided to go for a full team of boosted casters. Mana cap at 30 meant a wide range of monsters can be selected, all under Obsidian's guidance.

Obsidian: +1 Spell Power to all friendly monsters

Mycelic Slipspawn: Tank with Taunt

Failed Summoner: Off-Tank with Magic Reflect

Centauri Mage: 3rd Tank! Caster with Return Fire

Goblin Psychic: Caster with Heal Tank

Khimer Princes: Caster with Glowing Skin

The opponent went for a fortified Life Splinter team, with extra health from Mother Khala and Djinn Renova. The team was also boosted with extra armor from the Truth Speaker, while my team had reduced speed from the Time Mage.

The Gargoya Scrapper was the first to fall, under heavy magical blows. The round one armor scrapping ended with a positive heal on the Mycelic Slipspawn.

The main tank was down! The Slipspawn has fallen in the second round, from the Pelacor Arbalest deadly double strike. The enemy Chaos Knight replaced the Gargoya Scrapper and my Failed Summoner replaced the Slipspawn in the front row.

Round three started with the Failed Summoner reflecting two magical attacks, easy damage on the Time Mage and Djinn Renova. It couldn't handle the Arbalest and the Centauri Mage turn to tank has come. It was a well timed change, as the Centauri returned some damage into the Pelacor, thanks to the Return Fire ability.

This battle is going heads-to-heads, with the opponent losing the second tank and now relying on Djinn Renova to take the blows.

The Centauri Mage just turned the tides of the battle in my favor, returning two ranged attacks on the Pelacor Arbalest, and getting healed back to 5 health points.

The Goblin Psychic took care of rejuvenating the Centauri mage health but also had the final blow on Djinn Renova. We are entering round five with a 3v3 duel, and it's still unclear who will claim the victory.

Another double return fire on the Pelacor, as the Centauri Mage fell under the rain of arrows. The Goblin took off the Time Mage and we headed into Round Six with a little advantage in my favor.

Was game over shortly, as the Goblin healed himself and left the Pelacor Arbalest unguarded and unable to attack. See the full battle here!

Do you use the Mycelic Slipspawn? For me looks like a complete tank, with an low price on the market. It creates a good synergy with the Goblin Psychic, holding the damage and getting healed throughout the game.
