White teams before and after the coming of the Rathe

In the Splinterlands Crypto Game, Life Splinter relies on armor and concentrated physical attacks to achieve victory, making it very strong against a host of strategies based on Melee and Physical attacks, like Sneak, Opportunity, Ranged and even anti-melee such as Thorns.

On the other hand, Life Splinter has a terrible time against high magic damage, since it pierces right through its monsters' defenses even though it's always trying so hard to work on them. All we have to look at is The Peakrider as the best example of how Life Splinter works: it adds a lot of armor and reduces physical damage.

Although Chanseus the Great tries to repair this by adding Ressurect and Triage to team compositions, it falls short when protecting the frontline tank, which is exactly the one that's going to take a huge chunk of magic damage since it's where strong magic teams target their attacks.
