Evening Splinterlands Fans
Today I am gonna discuss one of most underrated ability(especially in the lower leagues), Dodge. Dodge ability monsters have increased chance of evading melee and ranged attacks.
There are total 14 monsters in splinterlands with Dodge ability. Three of the fourteen belong to fire(Serpentine Soldier
, Spark Pixies
, Elemental Phoenix
), four to water(Serpent of Eld
, Water Elemental
, Mischievous Mermaid
, Phantom of the Abyss
), two to earth(Javelin Thrower
, Oaken Behemoth
), one to death(Twisted Jester
), one to life(Air Elemental
), one to dragon(Fire Spitter
) and two to the neutral splinter(Cocatrice
, Spirit Miner
).
Although all Dodge ability monsters are amazing and have their own strengths but I love Cocatrice
and Phantom of the Abyss
the most.
Favored Battle Rules
Since Dodge ability monsters have a chance of escaping the melee and ranged attacks so battles rules that allow no magic or at least weaken it, are most suited for using them. e.g. Weak Magic, Up Close & Personal, and Lost Magic.
Positioning
Positioning of Dodge ability depends upon their attack type. Melee and Magic attack Dodge monsters can be used upfront as a tank, where as ranged Dogde monsters are best suited in back ranks as sneak protection.
Cost
The price of Dodge ability monsters depend upon the rarity. OAKEN BEHEMOTH
is the most costly of all Dodge monsters(4.34$/BCX), may be because of its low circulation. SERPENT OF ELD
and SPIRIT MINER
are the only monster that have Dodge ability right from start, costing 0.12$/BCX and 1.71$/BCX respectively.
Complementing Dodge Ability Monsters
Dodge ability monsters can be complemented in a variety of ways using abilities from Summoners and other Monsters.
Mimosa
's Void can help Dodge ability monsters surviving the magic attack.
BORTUS
's -1 magic attack buff can also be helpful with Dodge ability monsters.
LIR DEEPSWIMMER
's Blind ability can nicely complement Dodge ability monsters.
Speed related ability like Slow and Swiftness can work with Dodge ability. Also don't underestimate the combo of Dodge and Blind abilities.

BATTLE ANALYSIS
This was a tough battle, as I was facing Zaku
. Void ability monsters upfront endured long enough for enemy magic to fade away and then came Phantom of the Abyss
and stopped the enemy advancement thanks to the Dodge ability.
That will be all for today.
Take very good care of yourself and people close to you..
Until next time...
