UNEXPECTED SUMMONER NEARLY GOT ME KILLED


Hello all splinterlanders across the world, how are you today? What a day in the splinterlands. This is the best moment for battle in splinterlands because I won 80% of my battles. This is because at the beginning of the season big players are at a higher rate right; therefore, I won’t be paired with them due to that reason.

Last season was wonderful for some people in splinterlands such as my friend burlarj who got more than 2000 SPS, that is a lot of money. I was also hoping to get such luck, and I went quickly to open my season rewards.
Well! I thank almighty God because I got legendary Djinn Biljka which was the only legendary I got in the last season rewards.

Today was a lucky day for @quduss1 in neoxian city, he won a jackpot of 73 hives and 1HBD. The thing is that the person that guess exactly number of Mr. Dragon who is the owner of the city, will win the jackpot.
This was initiated by tito some days ago and the first person that won the prize is @quduss.

I will be talking about one of my favorite dragon monsters in this article which is dragon jumper. This monster is very good due to its opportunity flying ability. Level 2 of dragon jumper has snare ability; the moment a dragon jumper attacks an enemies’ monster with flying ability, it removes the flying ability on the enemies’ monster and the dragon jumper cannot miss the attack again.
Level 3 of dragon jumper has stun ability; any monster stunned cannot attack in the next round of the battle unless such monster has immunity which cannot be afflicted or poisoned.

Another thing I will talk about in a dragon jumper is the speed, the speed is impeccable. The high speed of this monster makes it attack faster. This is the reason such monsters with high speed are not good in the reverse speed rule and a dragon jumper is not exceptional in the reverse rule battle.

This was not the toughest battle I had used a dragon monster but somehow a very cunning battle because of the summoner that my opponent used against me. I never expected that my opponent would come up with mylor crowling summoner. The moment I saw this monster, I skipped the battle because I thought I could never win the battle.
When I saw that I won the battle, I replayed the battle and realized I needed to share this battle.

RULESET

  • SUPER SNEAK: All the melee monsters have the sneak ability.
    This was the place I got it wrong. I did not follow the battle rule before selecting my monsters. I would have used monsters with shield ability to the back-line of my lineup. I used merdaali guardian which was not the best decision.

  • EQUALIZER: The initial health of all monsters is equal to that of the monster on either team with the highest base health.

MONSTERS ARRANGEMENT

  • FROZEN SOLDIER: I just needed a shield ability monster that could hold the front line for a little longer. I hardly use this monster in battle but just because of the nature of this battle, I needed a frozen soldier because of the shield ability. Before Frozen soldier got eliminated in round 5, it had already done a good job by holding the front until round 5.

  • DRAGON JUMPER: dragon jumper was my favorite monster to use in this battle; when i saw maylor crowling i was displeased because of the thorn’s ability of this monster. I knew that a dragon jumper would not last longer in this battle.
    I was happy in the order hand because the dragon jumper was able to destroy the halfling alchemist. Halfling alchemist would have done more harm to my monsters due to its ability; this monster has the ability to break the weapon of any monster.

  • ICE PIXIE: love this monster, just only two mana. The magic ability of this monster was the major reason for using it here.
    Ice pixie led the battle and was eliminated in round seven. As the battle was about to end, it was getting hotter, and my thought was that I could lose the battle.

  • DJINN OSHANNUS: Oshanuus was incredible in this battle attacking the frontline of opponent monsters. My plan was that most of my monsters would attack in the front.
    Djinn oshannus speed is very useful in this battle, if you watch the battle; oshannnus was the first monster to attack in the battle and was the monster that led the battle to victory.
    In round 8 when Queen Mycelia and Regal Peryton were left in my opponent's lineup, that was when I knew that I won the battle.
    This is because both monsters have only one magic attack, and djinn oshannus led the battle. This simply means that both opponent monsters can no longer damage the health of Djinn Oshannus because of the void ability.

  • DOCTOR BLIGHT: This was to afflict and poison opponent monsters. There are opponents that use taunt ability monsters and also added monsters with increased health ability with it. This was the reason I included doctor blight to disrupt such a plan by afflicting and poisoning such monsters.

  • MERDALLI GUARDIAN: my plan was to keep healing the health of a frozen soldier but I forgot that the rule was super sneak. I should have used a better monster such as shield ability monster to my back again.
    Merdaali guardian was the first monster that was eliminated in my lineup.

DID MY STRATEGY WORK?
Perfectly worked out; even though I made the mistake of using merdaali guardian as the last monster, I still won the battle in grand style.
I can use a dragon jumper in any position but my best position for using this monster is the middle or the last monster.
The reason I used it in the last position was because of the flying ability that has a high chance of evading melee attacks.
There was a day I used this monster as the last monster, the opponent's sandworm was missing the dragon jumper throughout the battle. That is the reason I like to use it as the last monster.
I hardly use this monster in the first position because it does not suit the first position. Therefore, using this monster in the first position is like wasting precious things because it does not have what it takes to be in the first position.

In Conclusion, without argument I love this monster so much because of its opportunity ability. This monster is good at eliminating powerful monsters with the smallest health in battles.
A dragon jumper is a monster you will like to use all the time.
Mylor crowling was the unexpected summoner that could have got me killed. if i had use melee monsters as all my monsters, i would have lsot the battle.

I stand up for success, and success is not achieved by merely making mouth, No room for laziness, no room for idleness.

I never came across any who used the dragon summoner. I do however seen the blight plenty of times in the matches. I suppose with new changes we are likely to get some new cards randomly by the opponents.
