Hello Splinterlandsers!
Today I want to share my battle for weekly challenge! Dragons.
This is my First 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
- Up Close and Personal : Only Monsters with Melee attack may be used
in battles. - Mana Cost 26
- Allow Summoner : Earth, Death and Dragon.
This is a battle to watch out for. Because the Summoners allowed by the Battle Rule is Only three Summoners and Mana cost is well.
So I have to choose Lineup carefully. I guess the opposing team is likely to compete with the Death Summoner or Earth Summoner.
"MY LINE UP AND POSITION"
SUMMONER : Dragon Summoner (DRAKE OF ARNAK) +( Death 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 Death Element and Dragon together.
First Position Tank: DJINN CHWALA
- Reason for Picking: DJINN CHWALA
(Mana cost 8, Speed 2, Mele attack 2,
with 5 shield and lives 9).
In case of battle rule:- Up Close and Personal
I use him for return mele attacks by his special ability "Thorns".
I guess , It is suitable for this battle.
Second Position: TWILIGHT BASILISK
- Reason for Picking: TWILIGHT BASILISK
( Mana cost 4, Speed 3, mele attack 1 ,
shield 1 and lives 3).
I use him for good second attacker because of
his "reach" ability with good speed.
So he is a good support fighter in this battle rounds.
Third Position: CURSED WINDEKU
- Reason for Picking: CURSED WINDEKU
(Mana cost 6, speed 3, Mele attack 2
and lives 9, with ability "Thorns" ).
He is also a Rare card of Death Summoner.
Because of The main reason for choosing
Dragon Summoner with Death Element is to use the Thorns ability of CURSED WINDEKU.
I like his Mele attack with speed 3 and his specially ability "Thorns" is very support in battle rounds.
Fourth Position: UNDEAD BADGER
- Reason for Picking: UNDEAD BADGER
(Mana cost 2, speed 3, Mele attack 1
and lives 1 ).
He is a good supporter attacker.
I use him in this battle as a
Sneak attacker for back of team.
Fifth Position: COCATRICE
- Reason for Picking: COCATRICE
(Mana cost 2, speed 3, Mele attack 1
and lives 2 ).
He is a good supporter attacker.
I use him in this battle as a Damage Reducer for

ability is very support for this.
OK Let's See BATTLE ROUNDS
Game Rules:
- Up Close and Personal : Only Monsters with Melee attack may be used
in battles. - Mana Cost 26
- Allow Summoner : Earth, Death and Dragon.
(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.
ROUND 2
- My tank is now at still with live 7. It's a good battle. In this round enemy's follower attackers are kick down my follower damage reducer "COCATRICE".
ROUND 3
- My tank still stand with live 5 , but my second attacker was fall by enemy tank's Thorns ability. He was fully fulfilling his role. In this round enemy team also fall his tanker. It is Good condition for me.
ROUND 4
This round is tends to end battle. My tank fall and enemy team also fall his attackers. At this round end enemy team left one attacker and my team still strong with two attackers.
ROUND 5
This round is seems to be end of the battle, but enemy team attacker was still stand with live 3. My team stand with good condition.
ROUND 6
This round is completely win for me because of enemy's team is only left low health fighter. My speed attacker are knock down him faster. And then battle is end. I win.
- Until the last minute, The opposing team lost the opportunity as its followers quickly fell. But his line-up led me to an exciting battle.
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 Death 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 exactly. My lineup are consists of 2 mele attack tanker with "Thorns" ability. Then follower monsters as 1 mele attacker with "sneak" ability and good speed, then 1 weaken or 1 damage reducer as a supporter. This lineup is best for "Dragons + Death Element Team" battles. I use my lineup which depend on battle rules.
Did your strategy work?
Yes it did work as the Dragon+Death 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. 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.
