First attempt at the Dragon share your battle challenge. since its not a specific card but a whole element, this challenge is a more interesting.
Battle rules
| Symbol | Rule Effect |
|---|---|
| Neutral Monsters may not be used in battles. |
Total Mana : 99
Usable elements : Fire and Dragon
This ruleset with such a high amount of mana and the available element to use it was a no brainer to use the dragon element as they do have high costing units and since we have such a high mana cap we might as well use those units.
Team Composition
Position: Summoner
Drake of Arnak was chosen to be used for its dragon element along with its summoner ability that adds one armor to the units , as with the available elements there is a 50/50 chance of the opponent using fire which will be stopped by the armor as fire units are mainly melee or range units with a few magic units.Position: Main Tank/Melee Damage
Gram Flameblade, currently one of my favorite go to fire tank cards due to its high health and high attack along with void armor which makes attacks hit its armor first as well as its bloodlust ability which increase all its stats once it kills something
Position: SubTank/Range Damage
Lava Launcher one of the epic reward cards available is in the 2nd slot to be the sub tank with its decent health and armor pools it be quite hard for non-magic units to kill as armor will block those shots plus it has a decent attack amount at 3 and the close combat ability allowing it to fight back even if it reaches the front row.Position: Magic Damage
Void Dragon chosen for its void ability that reduces magic damage incase they do run a magic based team and has flying allowing it to dodge melee and range attack with a higher chance as long as they are not flying as well along with its high speed and ability to do magic damage as well as high health at 7 for its low cost of 5 mana its a pretty good dragon card.Position: Magic Damage/Boss Killer
Djinn Inferni chosen for its giant killer ability as this match has a high mana cap of 99 there is an increase chance of people using higher than 10 mana card since even my own main tank is an 11 mana Gram Flameblade so this unit will deal 6 damage instead of its original 3 magic damage, its 3 magic damage is still pretty strong thou.Position: Magic Damage/Sneak shield
Chaos Dragon my heavy magic damage dealer as well as my sneak shield that has flying and very high health at 10 along with its 4 armor stat, making it prefect to fend off sneak attacks as it does have flying allowing it to dodge melee and range attacks, its 3 magic damage is also pretty strong as it does bypass armour.Position: Sneak Melee Damage/Sneak Shield
last up Tenyii Striker one of the fire cards i currently use a lot due to its decent health pool as well as decent attack damage value at 2 would have used sand worm if there were neutral cards available thou, with 6 health good as a sneak shield and has sneak allowing it to attack from anywhereNow on to the Battle
Round 1
well my bet paid off, they ran a melee and range based team with only 1 magic unit allowing for my summoners ability to be useful in tanking 1 hit from those melee and range units
Round 2
With my teams focus on magic units I melted thru their team's main tank as the shield ability only helps against melee and range attackers, causing the rest of their units to fall like dominos.
Round 3
This round was basically a clean up to the as only 2 units on their team was left while I still had my full team at my disposal
Strategy Talk
This team was built around a half half split of magic and melee & range damage units, I placed heavy emphasis on having many high health or high damage units in the team, mostly was high damage as 99 mana allows for many strong teams to be formed as there is basically no restrictions.
Dragons are a fun element to play as they are basically a wild card along with the ability to choose one additional element allowing you to form stronger teams. Dragons also allowing patching of other elements weak spots.
maybe I would try the dragon element with a different element next time, the current fire dragon combo is basically dragons filling the gap of low magic damage on the fire side.
