In Splinterlands it is very important to understand every aspect of monster cards and the cards that can be used in any type of battle. Your deck should be balanced with melee, ranged and magic attacks along with a strong support and defense line.
Whether the battle is low mana, medium mana or high mana you should have cards from every category. This is how you can gain better control on the battlefield. You need to maintain a balance combination of the monsters in every battle.
Many players focus more on attack and defense but ignore support monsters. However support monsters play a very important role in the survival and overall performance of the team.
Today I will talk about an interesting Earth element monster called Dread Traffarin which strengthens the defensive line while also providing support. The best thing is that it is available in the market at a very reasonable price.
There are many cards in our decks that are very powerful but we do not select them because we do not fully understand their abilities. Some support monsters also help protect allied units by absorbing damage and they are a good support monster but because of lack of knowledge we just ignore them. That is why it is very important to understand the ruleset and choose a balanced team according to it.
If I talk about Dread Traffarin, it is a 9 mana monster so it easily fits into medium and high mana battles. In some situations it can also be used in low mana battles especially when you do not have better options available. This is why it can be called a versatile monster.
At level 5 it has 1 armor, Its biggest weakness is its low armor. If it had 3 or 4 armor it could become a very strong tank support monster. This may be one reason why its market price is still quite low.
Its 8 health gives it good survivability and it can usually stay on the battlefield for several rounds. Its 2 melee attack keeps dealing damage to the enemy every round while its real strength is hidden in its support ability.
At Level 5 it gains the Heal ability. This ability restores a portion of its maximum health every round. If its health is 8 it can recover around 2 health each round. Because of this it can survive much longer in extended battles.
If there is another healer in the team then Dread Traffarin survivability increases even more. In this situation it keeps absorbing damage on the frontline while your ranged, melee, and magic attackers continue dealing damage to the enemy team.
In my opinion the most valuable thing about this monster is its Heal ability. This ability makes it a durable defensive support monster. If the opponent does not have very powerful attackers it can survive until the final rounds of the battle and continue supporting the team.
Now lets talk about the market price, this card is currently available at a very affordable cost (around $0.6). Because of its health, melee attack and Heal ability it provides good value for its price. Therefore if you want to strengthen your Earth deck adding Dread Traffarin to your deck can be a good decision.
