Hello, Splinterlands warriors! Welcome back to the Splinterlands Community Engagement Challenge, and this time, we’re diving into surprisingly lethal card combinations in battle. Honestly, there’s a unique satisfaction in discovering card synergies that are not only effective but also leave opponents scratching their heads.
In this post, we’ll discuss Pelacor Conjurer, Helmet Kharafax, and Aves Sturgis. This trio is a combo I frequently use in low mana cap battles, and the results? Absolutely phenomenal!
Why Does This Combo Work So Well?
Pelacor Conjurer is a cheap Life-element tank card that costs only 2 mana. Don’t underestimate its small size—it boasts high Health and the Flying ability from level 1. By level 4, it gains Magic Reflect, followed by Divine Shield at level 7, and finally Phase at level 10. This means it can survive far longer than most expect!

Then there’s Helmet Kharafax, also costing 2 mana. This card starts with the Scavenger ability, meaning its HP grows thicker as monsters fall. At level 4, it gains Void, Magic Reflect at level 7, and Return Fire at level 10. This card is like a sponge, absorbing the enemy’s energy—the longer it survives, the stronger it becomes!
What makes this trio truly shine is Aves Sturgis. This monster has Weapon Training, granting 2 magic attack points to non-attacking monsters like Pelacor Conjurer and Helmet Kharafax. The result? Two originally defensive cards now counterattack with magic damage that packs a punch!
Battles That Prove This Trio’s Power
I once used this combo in a battle against an Air-element team led by Baakjira, a tank notorious for its high defense.
Check it out here: Battle 1.
In that battle, I positioned Pelacor Conjurer as the main tank upfront, followed by Aves Sturgis and Helmet Kharafax. To support the trio, I added Olivia of the Brook and Venari Crystalsmith. The strategy was simple: Venari Crystalsmith provided healing to Pelacor Conjurer, while Olivia of the Brook pressured the enemy with extra attacks.
The result? The mighty Baakjira was slowly whittled down by relentless magic attacks. Even when Pelacor Conjurer fell, Helmet Kharafax had already stacked enough Health from Scavenger to become the secondary tank. This combo worked flawlessly!
When the Strategy Backfires
Not every battle ends in victory, though. I once faced an opponent using the same strategy!
See here: Battle 2.
We both used the Pelacor Conjurer, Aves Sturgis, and Helmet Kharafax trio. However, there was a critical difference in our support cards. I chose Spirit Hoarder and Djinn Renova, which provided Triage healing to the backline, while my opponent used Magi of Chaos and Meripit Magician for direct aggression.
This is where I went wrong. I focused too much on protecting the backline, while my opponent attacked aggressively. As a result, my defense became inefficient, and I lost. It was an eye-opening experience!
Key Takeaways
From these two battles, I learned several important lessons:
- The Pelacor Conjurer, Aves Sturgis, and Helmet Kharafax combo is powerful in low mana battles. However, they still need proper support to survive longer.
- Healing the main tank is crucial. In the first battle, Venari Crystalsmith kept Pelacor Conjurer alive, while my second battle’s lack of focused healing cost me the win.
- Don’t rigidly stick to the same strategy. Opponents might use the same combo with slight tweaks that give them the edge.
So, if you want to try this strategy, consider your team composition carefully! Does it suit your playstyle? Or does it need adjustments?
That’s all for now. If you’ve had unique experiences with other card combos, feel free to share! Happy battling, Splinterlands warriors!
