Dax Paragon - The Man in the Expensive Castle

Hello Splinterfans!

The wealthy Dax Paragon today leaves his palatial home, probably the most lavish castle ever built, to show us his cunning magical power.

As the lore would tell us, Dax Paragon is rich and cunning and has destroyed many of his enemies. What makes Dax so special you might ask?


He is a low cost magic monster which from level 2, gains the amplify ability that increases reflective attacks by 1, but at level 5 also has the affliction ability that can stop enemy monsters from healing.

My own Dax Paragon is just a level 1 and I need to urgently upgrade him.


He has a very low 2 mana cost that helps to bolster your magic attack when needed. If you have him upgraded to level 5, this is a much cheaper cost compared to Doctor Blight and can have a big impact on the battle.

My Team

This is a high-level mana battle and on this occasion, Dax Paragon allows me to slot in an extra magic attack with his low-mana cost.

ROUND 1 - Iziar vs. Time Mage

The spearhead of my attack is with Iziar the new reward card monster who has a great amount of health plus critically the void ability that gives a reduced magic attack. My focus will be to use Iziar to hold on for as long as possible while the rest of my magic attack picks off my opponent.

The battle kicks off and with only 4 health including the buff from Djinn Renova, Time Mage crumbles very quickly, followed by Aves Sturgis.

This is looking very bad for my opponent already.








ROUND 2

In round 2, I still have 10 magic attack vs. 7 for my opponent. How long will Temple Priest hold for my opponent?


The answer is not long because, with an upgraded Djinn Renova, she has a 3 magic attack and delivers the lethal blow for Temple Priest.








Round 3 & 4

In round 3, only Magi of Chaos and Djinn Renova are still standing for my opponent. It was a critical error when they placed their lower health monsters at the front. Iziar is still standing for me with 4 health and I have a full magic attack score of 10.


In round 4, Djinn Renova also falls with the overwhelming force of my magic attack.

Summary:

Dax Paragon with his low mana cost of 2 is a critical bolster to your magic attack, although he does not have much health. Placing him at the front of my attack could have lost him quite early on.


To have a bigger impact on the match, Dax would need to be upgraded to level 5 where the affliction ability could prove very lethal to opponents who are using the heal ability.



Thanks for reading.

There are only two Cards on #Splinterlands with "Prince" on their names, which are the Legendary Earth Summoner Prince Rennyn and the Legendary Dragon Summoner Prince Julian. 🤓

On the other hand, there are 4 #Splinterlands Cards with "Queen" on their names, and 2 Cards with "King". 😏 Since there are 2 Cards with "Prince" on their name, there should be more Cards with "Princess" because there is only 1 at present. 😆😅

Have some !PIZZA with !LOLZ for today! 😁

It's a low mana card, this makes it good, but I think you'd have to get it to level 4 at least to unlock some of it's abilities. At level one it still very basic. But great game you had all the same.

Thanks, I agree. The ranged and magic attack in the life deck are the most fun for me to play, even though it is not the most powerful. 🙂

A good neuteral ranged monster I like right now is Halfling Alchemist. That halving ability is great!

The Epic Neutral Monster Halfling Alchemist's 1 Armor prevents nearly all non-Magic Monsters from defeating it in one hit. 🤓

I just don't recommend using it in Battles with the Broken Armor Rule where all Monsters lose their Armor, since its Life and Speed of 1 (at Level 1) makes it a very vulnerable target (except in Battles with the Equalizer and/or Reverse Speed Rule). 😅

Right now, the prices per level per day of the Halfling Alchemist on the #PeakMonsters market are the following: 🤓

  • Level 1 = 1.399 DEC
  • Level 2 and 3 = 21.698 DEC
  • Level 4 = 61.107 DEC
  • Level 5 = 265.005 DEC
  • Level 6 = 344.520 DEC

Above Level 1, that Monster Card gets drastically more expensive. 💸😅💸 !PIZZA

Yes, I was just taking level 1, it was more expensive this morning. But at that price, I will rent again. !PIZZA

Having a Level 1 Halfling Alchemist is already a big help, as long as it can land its attack at least once (best used in Battles with Reverse Speed or Aim True Rule) so that its Halving Ability takes effect on the target. 🤓 !LUV

Yes, my Arkemis now also has this ability 😎 !LOL

The Common Neutral Monster Arkemis the Bear only has a Melee Attack which requires it to either be at the frontline or in a Battle Rule that allows Melee Monsters to attack from any position (and it also requires 12 Mana which is a lot). 🤔 That's why the Epic Neutral Monster Halfling Alchemist still has more utility in most Battles. 🤓 !LUV
