Introduction

Dual element summoners are really good in a lot of rules of combat since it gives you a 2 for 1 deal and can still be used when the other Splinter is unusable.

Prunda Undervesch, for example, is good on things like Silenced Summoners since she doesn't have an ability to be affected in the first place.

In the case of Prunda Undervesch, I can use both Water and Life monsters, which you can see in this week's battle. The two Splinters have an uncanny way of supporting each other that can give you a lot of wins in battles that was undoubtedly unwinnable just because you were able to use a monster from the other element that fits your current lineup.

Prunda Undervesch does not have any abilities that can help the team but she has low mana cost and multiple elements that she can use all at the same time combining the strength of both Water and Life Splinters.

The Dual Element is very strong as it removes the limitation of using one specific Splinter only. Each Splinter can cover for each of their weaknesses as well as amplify both of their strengths.

💊 Abilities 💊

No Summoner Abilities: This summoner has no abilities.

Dual Element Summoner: This summoner has dual elements. You can use any monsters from any Splinters this summoner has control to, if it's available, in addition to using Neutral monsters.

Pros

Low mana cost Prunda Undervesch only needs 3 mana to use. This can give you advantage by allowing you to have stronger monsters on the board.
Dual Element Summoner The flexibility that this summoner can give due to allowing you to combine both Water and Life Splinters is immense. This can make you do combinations of monsters not possible with Single element.
Complementing Splinters Both Water and Life Splinters has good monsters that complement each other. For example, if you cannot use Range monsters but needs Taunt, Life Splinter has Iziar. If you cannot use Magic damage, there's Bera Dallin. If you cannot use Melee, you have Water Splinter's Wave Brood. This means you have a consistent source of Taunt monster regardless of the rule of combat that denies that damage type.

Cons

No Summoner Abilities
Some summoners can make of break a team and some summoners, like Lorkus, can provide huge advantage with their abilities that can destroy teams that doesn't have them.
Expensive to buy
The cheapest copy costs $0.60 which looks really cheap but since this is a Common rarity, it requires the most number of cards to level up. The max level right now is priced at $71.97.
Expensive to rent at max level
If a card is expensive to buy, normally, it is also expensive to rent. This is proven by haivng Prunda Undervesch costing 131.17 DEC per day at level 10. If you do a quick conversion, it's almost $1 per week of rental which can quickly stack up if you regularly uses her.

Rank	Monsters	Description
	^{Bera Dallin}	The strongest tank for Modern Ranked Format. She has multiple strong defensive abilities including Taunt, Void Armor and Shield. Merdaali Guardian is a good partner with this monster giving you Tank Heal, Repair and an extra Strengthen ability to increase the restoration amount of Bera Dallin.
	^Zyriel	Even though Zyriel is a Death Splinter, since she has a dual element with Life, you can use her in combination with Water Splinter to do a combined Range and Magic damage based lineup with Zyriel and Aves Sturgis.
	^Baakjira	A legendary, passive Water Splinter monster with strong defensive abilities his Void ability combined with Heal and high health can be destructive against teams centered in magic damage.

This lineup is very limited due to the constricting rules of combat, Little League and Keep Your Distance but having two Tank Heal monsters allow me to have a very health tank throughout the game.

Lineup

^{Prunda Undervesch}

Low mana cost summoner with multiple elements able to control both Water and Life Splinter at the same time.

^{Pelacor Conjurer}

A good strong tank with low mana cost. He has Magic Reflect ability that is very deadly against monsters with magic damage.

^{Dax Paragon}

A low mana cost magic damage monster with Amplify that is complementing with Pelacor Conjurer's Magic Reflect ability.

^{Merdaali Guardian}

I was able to use her because of Prunda Undervesch's dual ability. Her Tank Heal is really strong which allowed me to win this game.

^{Venari Crystalsmith}

A strong range monster with Tank Heal ability.

The opponent and I both have the same idea abusing Pelacor Conjurer. The difference is that I have the ability to use 2 monsters with Tank Heal ability in that limited amount of mana, while he cannot. This is a defining difference which allowed me to get the win.

Abilities does not make a summoner strong. It's all about your expertise on how to make your lineup strong. Even though she lacks in a lot of ways, that flexibility that Prunda Undervesch does is way stronger than any abilities you can get. The more experienced the player is, the more they can get out of these interaction of combining the strengths of two different Splinters.
