Compliments friends on Splinterlands. It's been a while. I've been playing playing splinterlands game from my PC and it went bad for a time. I am glad I am able to fix it to resume the cruise here.
I am excited I was able to meet-up with this week's Battle challenge and I will be sharing my experience with the Dragon cards. Before we continue, please use my Splinterlands referral link to start off your game earning journey in splinterlands. Let's win together. Thank you in advance.
Dragon cards in splinterlands game are a special set of cards. As the name implies they are fierce cards capable of making significant effects when used in the game. Dragon summoners are useable in battle with other splinters. You have to literally select either of Fire, water, earth and death cards.
I got some dragon cards just for this challenge and they are all special in their ways and abilities. They are:
Byzantine Kitty is an innocent looking Summoner. In fact, you are warned in the game description of the summoner that you should not be distracted by its cuteness and fluff. Though cuddly, Byzantine Kitty is tough. I have personally experienced that while using it to battle. The performance was a direct opposite of its innocent looks. Below are the abilities of the summoner:
In all my splinterlands battles, I've not used a summoner as sophisticated as Byzantine Kitty.
This was the first dragon monster I rented. I was attracted to it due to the huge melee attack and armor. I like using melee attack monsters in the battle front, perhaps because I love fire monsters.
The Desert Dragon card I got has 4 melee attack, 3 armor, 6 health and 2 speed. It has the trample ability which makes it make an additional attack when it kills its target. When used with Byzantine Kitty, the true strike ability and +2 speed were added.
Dragon Jumper from the untamed card was another melee attack dragon monster I got. The opportunity and flying abilities made me go for the card. It can attack from any position during the battle. The card used for the battle had 3 melee attack, 5 speed and 6 health. When used with Byzantine Kitty, the true strike ability and +2 speed were added. That means, it started the fight with 5 speed.

Battle Line-up
The following was the arrangement of monsters for the battle.
Reason for placing the monsters were explained above. I only added the fire and neutral cards to complete my manna cap for the battle. My focus was on the dragon cards.
Battle Start
At the start of the battle, all my monsters received A the true strike ability and +2 speed at the start of the battle. That really boosted the abilities of my monsters for the battle.
My team became so formidable and they stayed strong through the battle. That is, none of the monsters were killed. Fortunately, I won the battle.
Battle Ends
I was very pleased by the performance of that team for the battle. I can attribute the overall success of the battle to Byzantine Kitty summoner. Adding +2 speed, true strike ability and healing the monster in the first position each round was really helpful.
I tried a battle with the same team this time excluding the fire and neutral card and the result was also impressive.
If I have to battle with dragon cards again, I would choose that team again.
