Defeated Llama x Kron For Earth Quest + Strategy

The Scarred Llama Rage X Kron The Undying combo has been giving Splinterlands players fits as of recent. I had to face off against it for my final battle today to earn my daily quest. I know the "Share Your Battle" theme for the week is Dragons but being that this was my reward post and I could share some good strategy, I decided to share it.

The MANA limit for this battle was 20. I knew I would need to play a few cards w/ 5+ health to even have a chance so I could take more than 1 blast from Kron's 5 attack last man standing magic.

Since I was using the Earth Splinter also, I went with the Flesh Golem and the Earth Elemental for health purposes, and of course the Furious Chicken to take another blast.

This was just 1 piece of the puzzle. In order to even have a chance at afflicting enough damage on Kron you need some heavy hitters on the back line. The Mitica Headhunter seemed suitable for the job.

LINK TO BATTLE!!

Of course it helped that for this match all monster abilities were disabled so I didn't have to worry about the Headhunter's relatively low health getting hit by sneak attacks...even though it's 5 speed is defense in itself.

When the battle started I actually thought I would lose but my strategy played out perfectly. The Headhunter's 4 ranged attack was too much for Kron to overcome.

I didn't get any monsters for my quest this go round but you can never be mad at DEC and potions so we'll see what comes tomorrow.

Enter The Splinterlands!!
