The battlefield is set again with the dragons being called upon to showcase what they've got. What do I mean? It's another battle week and in the spotlight is the dragon monsters. It's not every week we get to have a full element as the theme, however, this week seem to be a different case. I' d wish to welcome anyone who is interested in taking part of the week battle challenge. It's an easy process, simply follow this link for guidelines and rules involve. Remember, you do not necessarily need to own the dragon cards, there's always a room for renting through the rental market
Dragons: What really comes to mind when we hear the word dragon? Obviously, we think of this strange looking flying creature that has the ability of spitting fire. But do they actually exist in real life? As interesting as they might sound, the thought of dragons only exist in the realm of fantasy. Anyway, What are this dragons as related to splinterlands? In the splinterlands game, monsters are being shared to belong to a particular class which in splinterlands is called element. This element is more like a building housing some monsters of the same kind. Currently, there are six of such elements in splinterlands and they are Fire, Water, Earth, Life, Death, and Dragon. Now you see where the dragon came from.
what can we found in the dragons: Among the dragon pack are monsters with different abilities and capabilities. Just as every other element, all form of attack exist in the element. Magic, melee, and ranged monster are all found there. Dragon deck also have most all the abilities that the other decks have and even some better ones than the other deck.
Now let's take a look at the battle for this week.
Battle
| Battle Set Rules | |
|---|---|
 | Holy protection: All monsters have the divine shield ability |
 | Fire & Regret: All monsters have the return fire ability |
| Mana Cap | 34 |
| Available Element | Fire & Dragon |
This battle involves the dragon element coming against the fire element. On the side of the dragons are four dragon monsters summoned by a dragon summoner while the fire element has six monsters on the battlefield. The entire battlefield contains four magic monsters, two ranged monsters, and four melee monsters.
Team Formation
| STHISPA: EPIC Dragon Summoner | CHAOS DRAGON: |
|---|---|
 This summoner made the select more easier. Since it gives the Phase ability, it made way for magic monsters and gave them the ability to dodge hits  |  Although this monster has a very high mana cost but it sure does make a better part of a team. It was used as a defender in this battle and that is because it has the necessary protections. It also has high magic damage and two abilities which are scattershot and flying. |
| BLACK DRAGON | GOLD DRAGON | NAGA ASSASSIN |
|---|---|---|
 |  |  |
Black Dragon is another dragon monster that made this week's battle. It proved to be useful entering the battle with two abilities. The flying ability in combination with the phase ability offered by the summoner made hitting this monster very much difficult. The life leech ability on the other hand kept increasing its health each time it takes a turn. Its two magic damage was also utilized effectively in achieving the required success.
Gold Dragon also wasn't much different from its predecessor. It has the flying ability, so in combination with the phase ability from the summoner, it also made it harder for enemy monsters to hit their target. Gold dragon has the same magic damage as black dragon but has a better health number of eight.
Naga Assassin, the last monster on the team and also the monster with a different attack type from others. Naga is versatile due to her low mana cost. It also has the advantage of high speed, although it has a low health weakness and doesn't cause heavy damage to an enemy.
Battle Commentary
The battle was fought between the dragon element and the fire element. The battle rules gave divine shield to all monsters and a return fire ability which wasn't favorable to ranged attack monsters. The dragon summoner gave phase ability to its team member which the fire summoner gave plus one melee damage and plus one health to its own members. The phase ability given to the friendly monsters made all the difference as it resulted in making the enemy monsters miss most of their hits. The monsters went on to active battle until round 6 when the enemy's team was finally defeated.
My Strategy & Its Effectiveness
My strategy was successful and very much effective. It most 90% more magic and 10% ranged. It also achieved more than average success.
What can I say about Dragons?
All I can say is that amazing monsters are much in the deck. Their battling capabilities are second to none.
