Yodin Zaku: Blasting All into Dust

Greetings everyone and welcome to another Splinterlands battle strategy post. This week we are going to talk about one of the strongest cards Splinterlands ever printed, Yodin Zaku. I have been playing with this card since it has come out and it is still VERY strong (but doesn't quite go on mindless autopilot like it used to be). Various changes to: modes, the meta, and the general card pool have left this card in a different state than during the Untamed set release. Yodin grants blast to all units and additional health and ranged damage. The numeric value on this abilities is astronomical even though we have had numerous sets since then this is still a top meta card in the modes that support his use (Which currently is every mode but modern). This card has various strategies of play that I will now demonstrate below.

Card Combinations: A multitude of options

This card has a multitude of options and strategies that work with it to great effect. The blast abilities stacks with a lot of abilities including bloodlust, lifeleech, cripple, armorbreaker etc. so you can achieve many highly destructive combinations. These combinations are additionally only going to continue to get stronger as more abilities come into the fold that are procced after landing an attack (ANY and ALL of these abilities stack and can hit multiple targets). My personal favorite to stack with yodin is lifeleech or cripple as these both effect longer drawn out matchups. Below is an example fight of yodin zaku using lifeleech and blast to out sustain the enemy lineup. Truly a classic Splinterlands maneuver.

Talking Tidbits: Brawl Star

I've been using Yodin Zaku in my brawls since I first opened him in a pack (I know right? it's been a while), and TO THIS DAY he is still the most abusable summoner for the brawls that allow his presence. There are plenty of frays that you can't use him in at this point, but my collection doesn't really allow me to participate in those frays at the competitive level my guild requires anyway. Even though various abilities that hinder yodin zaku have arrived since then, he still powers through almost every lineup I put him in. There hasn't really been another summoner outside of Untamed that I can say really is quite this strong. It was and is disgustingly stronger than almost every summoner in a vacuum that has come from a set previously, the only summoners that really compete ALSO arrived during the untamed era. Yodin zaku was a card that cost hundreds of dollars but now is honestly a cheap ass motherfucker at this point. A frugal power staple if you would. Personally if I didn't have him I would've scooped him at these prices, he's a monster even at lvl 1 and doesn't require any additional levels to be a powerhouse. If there was one red summoner I would max it definitely would be this guy, I don't see him going anywhere anytime soon considering he has been at the forefront of the strongest frays since the games first major expansion pack.

Thanks for coming out and reading this post everyone. I know Yodin isn't the newest subject in the world, but every so often it is worth revisiting how strong he is relative to the modern era. You all rock and are what make it worth posting about splinterlands. Thanks for leaving a comment, reading, voting, or hell even just glancing at this.

Hi cryptoniusrex, after seeing three Core card editions and two minisets go by, I can say that Untamed cards are still useful and keep the games fun. Unfortunately, I arrived when Untamed had already been on sale for a while and Dice was just starting to sell out. Regards.

Yes, Yodin Zaku is the best (so powerful) card. I don't have any of it, I sold out it years ago. And now grinding cards at Frontier Mode 😅😅

With few more cards I love this Yodin Zaku and the other one is Summoner that give Thorn ability to team players (I forget its name 😅) maybe Mylor or something...

Anyways, I don't have any card, re-start my game from 0. Hope for the best 😅
For now, I don't even stand on Bronze III Modern 😒😒
