Hello fellow Splinterlands Players! I'm here to talk about Splinterlands abilities. There are 64 abilities out there. And our ability to discuss today is Affliction.

Enemy monster will lose the ability to Heal if hit by a monster having affliction ability. (Tank heal ability won't work either) There's a 50% chance of afflicting the enemy. Also Summoner Mimosa Nightshade gives this ability to every friendly monster at the start of a battle!

Affliction can be very useful when you believe that your opponent will be using heal. For example, 17 mana is a frequent target for the Scared Llama and Kron the Undying Combo. Affliction can dramatically weaken this combo.

Cleanse can remove this De-buff. Higher Speed can also help by making the monster with affliction ability miss.

There are 16 monsters that have this ability. Monsters that have this ability are:
