Explaining the strategy of the shield ability in sprinterlands is important for new players, a game style that most players can apply, it can be done with any region only this time I apply it specifically with cards from the water region using the summoner Keyla Frendul.
The summoner used is Keyla Frendul who gives all her summoned monsters a shield point and a speed point, this is very helpful for shield because it increases resistance with the shield and with that speed point she has more chances of dodging attacks.
Giant Alpine Skink is the star card in this battle because it has the shield ability, this decreases melee attacks and archer attacks by 50%. It is very important to use this card in first position in order to receive the most hits and at the same time create combos that favor her.
If we want to continue boosting this ability, keeping him alive is a priority. Using Merdaali Guardian we can heal him every round, creating a full-power defensive tank.
To continue with this boosting combo, it is necessary to use a card with the repair ability, which is very helpful to repair the shield of the card you have with the shield ability, thus increasing the defensive capacity to advance to the end of the battle with the card that has the shield ability. The card I used with repair is Scavo Hireling.
