Card Analysis
Goblin Psychic is one of the best healers in the Earth splinter, with a strong Tank Heal ability that helps sustain frontline monsters.
Magic damage (2 at max level) makes it a good offensive support unit while still providing healing.
Affliction (Level 4) helps counter enemy teams that rely on healing, making it useful against Self-Heal, Tank Heal, or Triage-based teams.
Silence (Level 10) reduces enemy magic damage, making it a good counter to magic-heavy teams.

Weaknesses
Very slow (1 speed) → Often acts last in a round, making it vulnerable to fast enemy attacks.
No armor → Can be easily taken down by Sneak, Snipe, or Opportunity attacks.
Weak to Silence → If the enemy uses Silence, it loses some of its offensive effectiveness.
High mana cost (6) → Might not be viable in low-mana battles.

Strengths
Strong healing ability (Tank Heal) → Helps frontline tanks survive longer in battle.
High health (7 HP at max level) → Gives it good survivability.
Affliction (Level 4) → Counters healing-based strategies effectively.
Silence (Level 7) → Helps reduce enemy magic damage, making it a strong defensive unit against magic attackers.

Mana Cap Effectiveness
Mana Cap Effectiveness
Low (12-20) →(Not ideal due to high mana cost)
Mid (21-38) →(Excellent as a healer & magic damage dealer)
High (39+) →(Great support in longer battles)

Battle Strategy
Use as a healer in tank sustain strategies → Best when paired with strong frontline tanks that benefit from Tank Heal.
Positioning is Key → Needs to be protected from Sneak, Snipe, and Opportunity attackers.
Use against magic-heavy teams → Silence makes it a great counter against magic users.
Pair with Affliction-based strategies → Works well with other Affliction monsters to counter enemy healing teams.

**Best Positioning in Lineup
**Position Reason
Backline (4th-6th Slot) Best used here to avoid direct attacks and support the frontline tank.
2nd Position (If Needed in Mid-Tank Role) Can sometimes be used as a mid-tank due to its high health.
