I found really good cards with VOSS!
Welcome Guys!
Yesterday I bought Voss - epic card from Conclave Arcana edition. You can read more about Voss and my thoughts in this post here:
https://hive.blog/hive-13323/@atnazo/new-gold-foil-epic-card-in-my-collection-meet-voss
As a pro player in Splinterlands I decided to find a way to get best usage of Voss, playing with my brand new card and allies bloodline monsters. Not only when there is good ruleset, which get me advantage.
There were really bad games, because my understanding how work ability to share additional stats was wrong. So I can tell you, why it not work well and what you need to do to have all bonuses for bloodline.
First of all Archon.
I played with
because have 2 bloodlines
So I can summon Voss, which is fire unit, when I playing with earth element.
Then I can start combo archon abilities
Trample not work here, because this is not melee unit.
Resurgence is key ability here, because I gonna combo it with bloodline tribute ability.
In short, when my enemy kills Voss, he get full hp and give additional stats to all cards with bloodline, but share 1 power in this case magic damage only to monsters, which have magic damage. So all units get hp speed and power, if it is magic damage.
Voss bloodline is Avian, so all monsters with the same bloodline get additional stats, when he dies.
This is very important note
to understand how it work.
I thought that, when I gonna play with just bloodline monsters I would get addtional 1 power, but problem is Voss is magic damage type monster and can share only magic damage.
I had many fails until I get how it works, then I searched the entire card collection to find the best choices.
The best cards, which you can use to combo with Voss are:
I can play only with 2 cards, which have magic damage, which are really good I need to admit that!
This card is just op and you can summon Torrent Sniper, when water color is available to play even when you use earth summoner, which I like to play.
Unfortunatelly I played like 10 games and ruleset not allow me to test Voss + torrent Sniper yet. Maybe after some time I get enough time to test his synergy with Voss. I need to think how to use earth elemental archon and painforge from Torrent Sniper to get full synergy. Maybe a ruleset maybe a card, which can help with that. I have idea, but still not have this card, but could be good I think.
I saw that someone sell 3 lvl of this card cheaper. So I bought lvl 3 in gold foil.
Diffrence is just in speed, when in the future I get silver level of this card.
Voss is ultra slow card, so I can play with slow ruleset as well.
So now I can make combo
But I show you now kinda different setup, because I had no card with reckless yet and water monsters were not available for play.

Buffs applied from monsters and archons
Voss get down for first time my all avians monsters get bonuses, but only monster with magic damage get more power.
Voss get killed again and shared bonuses to my 3 last cards!
Look at harpy have 5 speed and trample from archon :)
Sadly not get addiotnal damage, but still is nice to have faster unit with more hp.
only 1 damage, but get a kill!
Now is time for 4 magic damage to start carry this game!
and finisher with execute!
another kill!
Last tank on the table! Got some hp from life leech!
but have 6 hp now, what can do my owl?
Hit for 4 damage
and execute for another 4 :D
That's it my team won versus Lorkus, which is really powerful archon!
Victory after really hard battle!
When I get more monsters with magic damage that would be easier, but water color was banned anyway and I had only 2 monsters with magic damage and can play with only one in this battle. Now I know that shared hp speed and armor is nothing special without additional power, so my setup would be better :)
Anyway harpy even with 1 damage got kill so not bad :D
Thanks for reading my post!
This what happens, when I test my new cards in ACTION!
I have a quick question: Do you take screenshots and save the image to the clipboard or what kind of screen capture method are you using?
Back in the 2018-2019 era I used to play Splinterlands back when it was called Steem Monsters. I regretted selling off my completed alpha set but its all good because later on I had a buddy gift me 50 Beta booster packs right before the bull run.
Those packs peaked at $10k valuation and ended up selling them once the market collapsed in half lol.
I just use prtsc on keyboard and then paste screen to paint and then I make selection with mouse and use "ctr+x" and then "ctr+v" in blog.
Yeah, I started playing in that era too - 2018, before SPS token realese good times!
WOW! pretty nice, I never earned that much money from Splinterlands :D
I had many dec for SPS airdrop, but I forgot about swap to hive and dec just was overpriced 12x from soft pegg value.
I should sell it before sps airdrop end, but there was no liquidity in swaps and I forgot about swaping them to swap.hive and withdraw them to hive with hive-engine, which always have liquidity.
So one thing that might speed up your screenshot process is using "Shift + Windows Key + S" for the snippet tool and then "Ctrl-V" to paste that clipped screenshot directly to the browser blog to save a couple of steps. I figured you were using some sort of complicated software or method lol.
Snippet tool has saved me countless time over the years.
Congrats on the new Gold Foil card! I think Splinterlands has so many hidden interactions between abilities and discovering them through testing is part of the fun. 😁 You can be a good guide hehe, cuz you have shared not only what worked but also the mistakes you made along the way. I hope It's going to be easier for other players to understand.
Thanks I try my best :D
It take some time to realize how all things work together I played like 5 games to understand correctly why it don't work well.
Problem was that I played first with bloodline of archon, which have 2 bloodlines and it not work with second. This was my mistake by cards selection, which were highlited as bloodline. It need to be the same monster like Voss card bloodline. So used search to find avians and then I saw that I not have many options, when not all colors are available. After that I saw in my card collection what I can really play :)
Totally get what you mean. The bloodline interactions can be confusing when you're first building a deck around cards like Voss, and limited color options definitely make it harder. Checking your own collection first to see your available Avians is a smart move. Keep experimenting.
I bought new card with painforge, got few games with this new card, when get good game I would make a post about that 😏
