Hello everyone and welcome to the Battle Weekly Challenge. This week is the turn of the dragons! Dragons are one of the most fun elements in Splinterlands as it gives you the opportunity to combine your cards with other elements.

In this particular battle we are facing a level 1 Obsidian summoner. We are going to play on equal terms as we can only use cards at level 1. So let's see the rules, the team and the details of the battle.

Battle Rules

This is a 30 mana battle with the "Earthquake" rule. All elements except Fire and Death are allowed.

Icon	Name	Description
	Earthquake	Non-flying Monsters take 2 Melee damage at the end of each round.

• A trick for this ruleset is to use monsters with the "Flying" or "Heal" ability or monsters with high HP and Armor.

My Lineup

Brighton was an eccentric young man of Shimmer City, the capital of Khymeria. He was always seen as a strange character among the Khymian summoners. Brighton’s attraction to birds was quickly noticed by Suam Khepri, Empress of the United Gloridax, who assigned a team of aerial sorcerers to properly train the young man. When Brighton emerged from that training, he could grant the power of flight to any monster under his summoning control.

Brighton Bloom: I think using Brighton as summoner in this battle is the best option as it can help a lot in this ruleset. Giving all monsters the Flying ability prevents us from taking two melee attack damage at the end of each round.

Djinn Oshannus: Djinn Oshannus is an amazing magic attack card that can be used as a tank due to its high Speed and high HP. In addition, thanks to its "Void" ability we can mitigate magic damage. This card is good at defending against everything (melee, ranged and magic attacks).

Void Dragon: Void Dragon is one of my favorite dragons. He is fast, has a lot of health and his abilities allow us to defend ourselves from monsters with melee, magic and ranged attacks. It is a very complete card for only 5 mana.

Merdaali Guardian: This card will help us to keep our tank alive as long as possible thanks to its Tank Heal ability, which restores a portion of the monster in the first position's health each round.

Serpentine Mystic: This card has a chance of applying Affliction on the target causing it to be unable to be healed.

Venari Wavesmith: This card gives +2 armor to all friendly monsters. I think it’s very useful since many of our monsters have no armor. Armor will allow us to resist more attacks from enemy monsters with melee and ranged attacks.

Ice Pixie Card with very low mana cost that positioned in the right place can do a lot of damage as well as avoid it due to its Flying ability and high Speed.

Did your strategy work?

Yes. I think my strategy worked quite well. Our summoner choice was very wise as it gave us a considerable advantage in the battle by preventing us from taking two melee attack damage at the end of each round due to the Earthquake rule. I am happy with the result and the strategy I used.

Do you like Dragons?

I love dragons. I think they are one of the most fun elements of Splinterlands as they allow you to perform very varied strategies and use a variety of cards to surprise your opponent. The possibilities with dragons are limitless. Their power and versatility allow us to win many battles. I love them!
