Good day to all, hoping that, you all are having a great Saturday :).
If you are from Indian sub continent, you might be enjoying the IPL matches as the race to play-offs is getting heated and with 2 most successful IPL teams Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians on the edge of getting moved out at league stage itself, there are more chances of a new IPL champion this time!!!!!
My favorite team RCB is making progress and is at Fourth position right now with next match coming up tomorrow and I am hoping my Sunday will be sweeter with a victory for RCB!!!!
I kinda not getting time during week days to work on blogs on Splinterlands or any other topic for that matter, so, here I am this Saturday morning with this blog for Splinterlands weekly challenge on SHARE YOUR BATTLE with Dragons making another entry into the weekly challenge!!!

Dragons are integral part of any Splinterlands battles and when we have a quest with Dragons splinter, I normally use Dragon Jumper most commonly and here in this battle too, it is included and here I go with the details.
Having said that, with the introduction of many awesome Dragon monsters from Chaos Legion such as Chaos Dragon, Carnage Titan, the battles with Dragon splinter are getting even more interesting and winning is equally getting difficult!!!!

Battle and Lineup:

https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_9f9ee6cba41c7f1cf21587d0aadd650f&ref=coolguy123

The battle had 25 MANA cap and summoner was silenced from adding any abilities to monsters as silenced summoner rule set was on along with another rule set of Close Range allowing even the ranged attack monsters to attack from front position.
Keeping these things in mind, I selected below lineup for this battle.

Lineup:

1. Pelacor Mercenary:

Wanted a self healing tank at the front as I had planned not to use a tank healer since the MANA cap was less and wanted to include 2 opportunity monsters in Screeching Vulture and Dragon Jumper.

2. Fungus Fiend:

Since Screeching Vulture was next in lineup, I thought of protecting it from any possible blast attack upfront and hence, used this Zero MANA cost monster in Second position.

3. Screeching Vulture:

Used this and Dragon Jumper to get rid of low MANA cost yet powerful monsters so that, I can have that early advantage against opponent.
This and Dragon Jumper proved to be the difference in this battle.

4. Dragon Jumper:

As I mentioned above, this and Screeching Vulture were crucial in the battle with their opportunity attack although the combined attack was almost equal on both side.

5. Brownie:

Used this to inspire my melee attack monsters as explained above and also this can give additional advantage of swift all my monsters to increase the speed.

6. Djinn Biljka:

Lastly, I used this camouflage ability monster which can weak opponent's monsters by reducing the health and it takes less attack from magic monsters and can survive even the magic reflect.

Opponent used Earth splinter with Mylor Crowling as his summoner with monsters Failed Summoner, Orc Sergeant, Venari Scout, Brownie, Epona and Doctor Blight.

Battle:

Round 1:

Brownie's from both side were the target in this round as both of us had opportunity monsters and Brownie have to go and lose that advantage of swift and inspire.
With most of the monsters having less MANA cost, the opportunity monsters showed why this rule set is so important and to be kept in mind while selecting the lineup.
Normally, the Doctor Blight will have advantage even against best monsters, but, with opportunity monsters, that gets neutralized.

Round 2:

While the Failed Summoner from opponent's lineup was First to go, I had to lose Pelcaor Mercenary and Fungus Fiend and that brought Screeching Vulture to the front.

Round 3:

Epona was the only casualty in this round and the battle continues for another round!! But, I could smell a victory here!!

Round 4:

With Orc Sergeant's removal in this round, opponent's melee monster Venari Scout got it's melee attack reduced by 1 as inspire ability got removed and I got closer to another victory.

Round 5 and 6:

Venari Scout was just hanging in there with just 1 health in previous round and it got removed First followed by Doctor Blight in round 6 to end the battle!!!

Questions and Answers:

Did my strategy work? What will I try differently next time?

Using 2 opportunity monsters did the trick as opponent had most of the monsters with low health and that made this win easy for me.
Having a self healing tank in Pelacor Mercenary was also advantageous to thwart all the attack getting thrown at front monster and that allowed the opportunity monsters to concentrate and stay longer in the battle!!!

Do I like DRAGONS? Why or why not?

Well, whenever there is a Dragons quest, I will obviously use the Dragon splinter and I continue to use these monsters with Daria Dragonscale being my favorite Dragon splinter summoner.
Like I said above, the introduction of few more Dragon monsters like Carnage Titan, Chaos Dragon, Void Dragon has made the battles even more interesting and competitive and my investment in Chaos Legion edition packs is paying off as I am making the Champions league more often than before!!!!

That was a quick battle and here I am ending this blog and I hope you liked the content and the battle details shared here. I am just hoping to write more and more, but the 9 to 5 job doesn't allow that me as I have to wait over the weekend to bring out couple of blogs, but I want to squeeze out some time during weekdays as well possibly.
Do share your comments and how you felt about this battle.
Until next one, have a great day and great weekend :)

Thanks and Have a good day :)

Dragon is my second favorite splinter (after water) and most of my high CP cards come from Dragon splinter.

Also, RCB is my fav team too from the beginning. Sure it is making progress, I'm very happy about that. But it would be happier if 'King Kohli' make a lightning strike return. I have hope on him though..

Apologies for late reply my friend, I seldom get time to write a blog these days.

Happy to know you are a RCB fan too, we have to thank Mumbai for giving us an opportunity to witness RCB progress further this year and hopefully, RCb utilizes this opportunity to make it to Final and win the cup.

Dragon has been my favorite with those 2 opportunity monsters contributing a lot to get wins for me.

Keep blogging and visiting my blogs, Good night :)
