Finally, after my first post at splintertalk.io, this is my first post for weekly challenge : Share Your Battle with dragons theme.

This is very awesome and I am very excited to write about my battle as any other new players, except most of us don't really have any dragon monsters.

Fortunately in this weekly challenge, our very kind committees member, Carrie, said that we are allow to chose what monsters we are going to use. As long as we are using Dragon, whether it is Summoner or Monsters.

I've tried several combination using the only dragon summoner I have, which is the great Drake of Arnak.

LET'S START THE BATTLE THEN

The rules for this match are :

  1. Standard
  2. 21 Mana Cap
  3. All Splinters

SUMMONER : DRAKE OF ARNAK

Drake of Arnak.png

Drake of Arnak is the only Dragon Summoner I have, which come as Starter Card Summoner. It required 4 mana to use and It has ability to increase all friendly shield.

When using Drake of Arnak, I need to make some adjustment for my team in order to effectively take the advantage of Its ability. After several times of trial and error, It's decided that I am going to use Earth Splinter . The reason is simple, earth splinter has a very balance monsters than any other splinters for attack and defend at the same time. At least it's work for me at low rank match.

MY TEAM LINE UP

Unicorn Mustang
The reason I chose Unicorn Mustang as my tank in the first position because It has the "Void" ability. With the Void, all damage from magic attack can be reduced which is very important because Drake ability only increase the shield and can be vulnerable againts summoner or monsters with magic attack. Also Unicorn Mustang have 10 health, 4 speed and 3 melee attack. It is a very well balance monsters.

It is very important to have 1 support in your team, whether to debuff enemy monsters or to heal allies. Wood Nymph very suit for this line up, because Its ability to heal and do some magic damage to the enemy monsters.

Khmer Princess
Most of my mana goes to Unicorn Mustang. So the only option I have is to use monsters who can attack from any position and required a small amount of mana. This is why I chose Khmer Princess. Even though It doesn't has high damage and It only has 2 health, if you put it at the mid position and hopefully your opponent don't have any monsters with opportunity ability, It could give additional damage.

Earth Elemental
As usual, my strategy is to have one backline monsters with high health. Earth Elemental has 6 health and with the shield ability from Drake of Arnak, It could become backline tank who protect my magic monsters in the middle positions. At least It can survived a few sneak attack from enemy monsters.

ENEMY LINE UP

  1. Alric Strombringer (Summoner)
  2. Serpent of Eld
  3. Medusa
  4. Ice Pixie
  5. Water Elemental

THE MATCH

Round 1
At round 1, all the monsters get buffed from the summoners. My monsters get 1 shield increased, while enemy monsters get 1 magic increased. Enemy monsters have high speed, so they attack first.

Water Elemental and Serpent of Eld are the fastest monster from the enemy line up, so they attack first and it's followed by Ice Pixie and Medusa.

If I don't use Unicorn Mustang, probably I will lose. Fortunately, with high health and "Void" ability, my Unicorn Mustang can survive the first round with 5 health left. After the enemy monsters attack, my Wood Nymph heal the Unicorn Mustang.

Round 2
At round 2, I though my Unicorn Mustang will got defeated after several attack from enemy monsters. Its only have 3 healths left after defeated the Serpent of Eld. This is where the "Void" ability play the most important part to keep the Unicorn Mustang alive. Total enemy monsters magic damage should be 4, but with the help of the Void, it reduced 2 damages. At the end of the enemy attack from round 2, the Unicorn Mustang has 1 health left. I know if It could survive this round, my team will have the upperhand.
My victory is certain after Medusa got defeated by Earth Elemental at the end of round 2.

Round 3
At round 3, my team ended the battle after we defeated Ice Pixie as the last monster with magic attack. We all know that the ranged monster can't attack from the first position. Even though Water Elemental can heal, but It can't attack, so It can't do any damage to my monsters.

That's conclude the battle between Drake of Arnak versus Alric Stormbringer.
I think I am very lucky in this match because if I don't have the shield ability from Drake, my Unicorn Mustang surely defeated at the end of round 2.

Using dragons can be fun, as long as you have other dragon monsters to play with. I think Dragon will not become my first pick for now. Maybe if I get some dragon monsters or summoners in the future, for sure I will using dragons more. I can't wait to have some cool dragon monsters and summoner.
