How are you guys? Did you start using new riftwatchers cards recently?
Today, I want to share battles from top champion players where they use Fernheart successfully.
I was not sure when I should use Fernheart at all, so I decided to look for other people's battles.
Let's get into it!
Back to Basics
22 mana, earth only

I found this match very interesting because I'm confident that a lot of people would go for Obsidian in this scenario, but just watch what happens!
The overall damage is not that different but ueyuey's team has faster speed and more heart!
14 mana, little league

Both chose Fernheat! I think it's easy to tell which team would win...
VS Kitty
28 Odd Ones Out

There are good odd mana cards that have good synergies with Fernheart, just look at those archers.
Noxious Fumes (Poison)
12 mana, Odd Ones Only

Fernheart has a good synergy with Vampiric Blossom. The only concern in this case is that Vampiric Blossom comes to the first position, then can't does a huge damage to the opponent. With Fernheart - close range, you don't have to worry about that.
Vs Lama Cube

40 mana, Little league, Poison

Both summoners do +1 heart but close range makes a big difference.
Keep your distance
17 mana, Aim true, Keep your distance
https://youtu.be/bcYTLwsLzjM
16 mana, Weak magic, Keep your distance
https://youtu.be/V-eo6_fnxAc
Using Fernheart in low mana keep your distance makes sense to me since you can't use melee monsters. The demerit of using archers in low mana is that if an archer gets to the first position, it can't attack, so people would like to add at least 1 magic monster. With close range, you don't have to think about that.
Mylor Counter
58 mana, Little league, Reverse speed

Earth elemental and Barking spider has a high hp, so they are a good with Fernheart since it can be a secondary tank while it give out some damage.
48 mana, Little League, Fog of war

Earth elemental working as the secondary tank again :)

Closing thoughts
I hope you found the battles I shared and my insights helpful. Before I've done this research, I was not sure how I need to use Fernheart but now, I have much better idea of when to use him. When I get a low mana match with earth available, I would consider using him.
