SERPENT OF ELD - the enemy of all Azmaré souls

Hello Fellas,


Hope everything is going well with the new blockchain. I'm using Steem Blockchain to create this content for the Weekly Challenge by #Splinterlands. Moreover, Here's further detail if you want to enter.⚔️


Hmmmm, so this weekly challenge monster name is Serpent of Eld...

Serpent Of ELD

Serpent of Eld is a rare untamed monster from the Water family which comes with three abilities in total. All of the abilities are super-rich and fantastic. The Dodge ability helped to miss ranged attacks many times. And, the Return Fire ability is giving back the ranged attack immediately which makes this card amazing. The Poison ability comes at its max level which is too good to use if you have lvl 8 summoners to summon this monster. So, that's all for this monster. Let's see how it performs on the battlefield.


⚔️ MY ENTRY ⚔️

I have taken this week's challenge seriously and went to purchase LVL 5 Serpent of Eld to try out. This happened to be the first time that I bought a card specifically for doing the challenge. I spent $1.79 worth STEEM to buy 40 cards to get LVL 5 monster. I choose my winning streak where I got two rulesets that is,

with 38 Mana.


Link to Battle ⚔️

Sharing a battle overview below that I played today and won it well. This is why I choose this battle to share and tell you about why I chose this lineup.


Why I Choose this Lineup?

LVL 5 Daria Dragonscale which is giving 1 extra melee attack to all friendly monsters and I only choose this Dragon Summoner to summon Serpent of Eld which is a Melee Monster so I could get 1 extra melee attack to this card for giving damage. But another ruleset was Silenced Summoner so I had enough mana to choose 4 mana holder summoners so I choose Daria freely. I usually use it when I had to use more than 3 melee monsters in the battle especially the dragon jumper.


LVL 5 Serpent Of Eld is no doubt a great card that has an odd mana cap with 4 melee attacks. I used it as a tank because its a melee monster and there was no Magic monsters so I can freely use it as a tank that can stay a little longer. Its dodge ability helped to miss some ranged attacks as well. Also, Return Fire ability has been used to give damage back on the spot that is super duper amazes me whenever I see such a monster with this ability. Quite Impressive!


LVL 5 Electric Eels chosen to use at the second position due to its reach and blast ability to make the battle a little faster by giving the second position holder monster. I used it for ita reaching ability and Blast one because I was thinking that my opponent will not use the Lord as a tank as there was Lost Magic ruleset but unluckily he used it as a tank but still electric eels goes better with 3 melee attacks.


LVL 6 Crustacean King is a tank healer monster with Protect ability chosen to the third position for healing the tank. I knew that I had a lost magic ruleset so I prefer to use the protection of 2 armors so if ranged monster hits any of the monsters then they can take the first damage on the armors rather than health directly. So, it went well according to what I thought.


LVL 2 Dragon Jumper is an amazing card with 5 Melee attacks. I always prefer to place in the middle of the lineup. I also choose it due to its Opportunity ability and melee attacks which is really impressive to give 5 damage to the monster who has no armor. I liked to use because it makes the game quicker and amazing. The snare ability has no specific concern in this ruleset so no comment on that.


LVL 4 Fire Spitter is a ranged monster with amazing speed and ranged attacks along with 6 health which is quite impressive for this reward epic card. This is why I leveled up to 4 as of now. This card was enough to give huge damage to opponents' monsters. I had to choose any of the ranged monsters so I choose this fire spitter due to its health, ranged attack and its speed.


LVL 4 Water Elemental is also a ranged monster with good speed, health, and ranged attacks. It is also a self-healing monster this is why I choose at the last position so if any sneaky monster hits this monster, it could recover itself easily again.


Did this Strategy work out well?

Yeah, I tried many times to use this monster but always failed to judge which rule should be perfect to use so it won't die and I could use all of its abilities in the battle. I played prior battles where this monster always died first so I figured out that Lost Magic ruleset is good to go with this card. Luckily, it went well and I won this battle.

Do you use the SERPENT OF ELD often?

No, its been 2 days I bought this card, especially for this challenge. I also wanted to try out as I have seen this card on the battlefield by my opponents and I was impressed when this card used Return Fire ability to attack back to the ranged monster. This ability made me buy and try.

Which ruleset is best fit for SERPENT OF ELD?

The best ability of SERPENT OF ELD in the Gold league is Return Fire and this made this card super amazing. To me, the Lost Magic ruleset is best for using this card as a tank because there would not a single magic attack monster so opponents must have to use ranged or sneak monsters. And, when the ranged monster hits this monster then it will attack back just like I showed in my battle above. Another one suits very well is Odd Ones Out because it is 7 mana cap card which fits well when you are going to play such ruleset with water so it goes well as a tank. I'm sure there could be other rulesets for its perfect usage but I only noticed this so far.

Ah yes, Return Fire. I've not leveled mine up to get that yet, but am excited about it. I also like that it says 'return fire' when it does it. Even watching your Eld take its last breath returning fire to its conquerer... awesome.

I really should level up my Dragon Jumper. I keep seeing it played.

Excellent post and breakdown of all the things!

Thank you so much for such a nice comment and vote. I only liked the Return Fire ability of this monster which is really amazing for a rare card. Usually legs get this ability.
