Hello Splinterlandsers!
Today I want to share my battle for weekly challenge! Dragons.
This is my Second post of about this weekly challenge, Dragons.
Dragon Splinter , DRAKE OF ARNAK
The Drake of Arnak is a medium-sized Dragon hybrid. He is highly intelligent and extremely rich, but cannot fly nor breathe fire.
All his life he has honed his skills as a summoner, hoping to win a share of the glory that should rightfully be his as a carrier of the fire blood.
The Drake's trademark is that his monsters are summoned to battle with a thin force field of blue fire, fortifying their defenses. Forms have been filed by the High Council to formally request that the Drake of Arnak hand over his secrets for the good of the united Gloridax, but he will not give up his proprietary magic without a fight. The Drake of Arnak is the Gloridax rival of Daria Dragonscale; the two despise one another.
Battle Rule
- Lost Legendaries : Legendary Monsters can't be used. Legendary Summoners are still available though.
- Mana Cost 25
- Allow Summoner : All Element Summoners.
This is a battle to watch out for. Because the Summoners allowed by the Battle Rule is all of Elemental Summoners and Mana cost is good.
So I have to choose Lineup carefully. I guess the opposing team is likely to compete with the Death Summoner or Fire Summoner.
"MY LINE UP AND POSITION"
SUMMONER : Dragon Summoner (DRAKE OF ARNAK) +( Fire Element)
- Reason for Picking: In this battle, He is a good Summoner for appropriate mana cap battles. Starter Cards prepared by Splinterlands for these games make my battles new. So I chose to use the powerful Fire Element and Dragon together.

and lives 6, with ability "Sneak" ).
He is also a Rare card of Fire Summoner.
Because of The main reason for choosing Dragon Summoner
with Fire Element is to use the good damage attacks by follower monsters.
I like his Sneak Mele attack with nice speed 2.
He is very support in battle rounds.
Fourth Position: LAVA SPIDER
- Reason for Picking: LAVA SPIDER
(Mana cost 3, speed 2, Range attack 1
and lives 4 ).

I use him in this battle as a Range attacker with "Snipe" ability
for back of team.
And also his live 4 can stand confidently in the back row.

Let's See BATTLE ROUNDS
Game Rules:
- Lost Legendaries : Legendary Monsters can't be used. Legendary Summoners are still available though.
- Mana Cost 25
- Allow Summoner : All Element Summoners.
(PLAY BY PLAY)
ROUND 1
- At the start of the first round after seeing my enemy used Death Summoner, It turned out as I expected. Enemy team also use CURSED WINDEKU as a tank. So his team was prepared with strong line up. In this battle round my team knock down one of enemy's back row shooter.
ROUND 2
- My tank is now at still with live 8 with no shield. It's a good battle. In this round enemy's tanker is falls. And also my team falls my back row "damage reducer". By the battle flow my team is stand with good condition. This round is tends to end of battle.
ROUND 3
- My tank still stand with live 2. My back role follower attackers are stay stand with my tank. But the only one "damage reducer" was fall, he was fully fulfilling his role. In this round enemy team's attackers are knock down by my tank's Thorns ability.
- Until the last minute, The opposing team lost his tanker faster and the followers attack are ineffective at my tanker. But his line-up led me to an exciting battle. This battle is also give a Good Experience for both of us.
Battle Results Reaction:
An excellent whole team performance that leads my team to victory. With the combined speedy attacker of Mele and Sneak at the behind Tanker. And the main point for this battle is specially ability "Thorns". The damage reducer supporter in particular was well supported. That was a good lineup for an Dragon Summoner with Fire Elemental Team for appropriate mana cost battles. The victory was definitely won.
Tell us about your lineup
The main point for appropriate mana cost battle is choosing the fasted attackers with good damage attacks. If you have "Thorns" ability attacker, you must choose him as a tanker exactly. My lineup are consists of mele attack tanker with "Thorns" ability. Then follower monsters as 1 mele attacker with "Reach" ability and good speed,1 mele attacker with good damage and "Sneak" ability, and then 1 range attacker and 1 damage reducer as a supporter. This lineup is best for "Dragons + Fire Element Team" battles. I use my lineup which depend on battle rules.
Did your strategy work?
Yes it did work as the Dragon + Fire Elemental, with Thorns ability tanker provides a good strong tank positions in appropriate mana battles. Dragon monsters can be a good tanker if he fights with other speedy Mele attackers such as "Reach" and "Sneak" ability attackers. However, it is the collective strength of the whole team that makes a team strong.
What will you try differently next time?
In later matches, Dragons + Ohter Elemental Summoners will be used in many other line-ups. I would love to twist some changes. But for now I like that lineup to work as it's really a good combination for appropriate mana cost battles. I want to meet more amazing Battles with DRAGONS SUMMONERS.
However, if I will use a higher level DRAGONS SUMMONERS in the future, I will definitely use better cards to team up with.
Do you like the DRAGONS? Why or why not?
Because I'm in the Bronze Leagues, I love to use DRAGONS SUMMONERS because of Dragons can join with other Elementals and team up a strong line up. We believe in his special abilities to provide support at the first team tank and we will choose "DRAGONS" first.
In the future, I will try to use it on higher leagues as soon as I find my way as well to climb up there first.
