Hey there! Welcome to my entry for this week’s SHARE YOUR BATTLE CHALLENGE. This week we're to tame the most vicious beasts in all of the splinterlands - The Dragons. Who's ready to play with fire?

THE CHAOS DRAGON

The Legendary Chaos Dragon is a monstrous beast with a fiery appetite. At a 14 mana cost. This guy starts with a damage of 3, speed of 3, toughness of 4 and a massive health of 10!. The stats stay the same as you level except for the damage which gets a single buff at level 4.

As for abilities, This monster starts with the flying and scattershot abilities at level 1. At level 2, he gains the blast ability which is a good combo with Scattershot. Finally at level 3, he gains the ability to Blind the enemy's melee and range monsters.

I will use this beast at level 2.

The Combat Rules and My Strategy

COMBAT RULES
MODIFICATIONS	Equalizer, Even Stevens
ACTIVE SPLINTERS	Fire, Water, Earth, Death, Dragon

Strategy

Normally I would focus my fire at the front in the Equalizer ruleset but this time I want to try something different. I want to see how much damage Chaos Dragon's Scattershot and blast can do all round. I also want my tanks to have high dodge chances.

Below is the info of my lineup👇:

SUMMONER
NAME	STHISPA
SPLINTER	DRAGON
EDITION	RIFTWATCHERS
RARITY	EPIC
LEVEL	3
MANA COST	4
BUFFS	PHASE

What better way to face my foes than with the new Dragon summoner? Sthispa is a summoner that I really like because of the phase buff and the fact that she can be used with any other splinter. Let's see what difference her phase buff makes in this battle.

MONSTER 1
NAME	DIEMONSHARK
SPLINTER	WATER
EDITION	CHAOS LEGION
RARITY	RARE
LEVEL	4
MANA COST	8
ATTACK	3X MELEE ATTACK
SPEED	4X
HEALTH	8X
TOUGHNESS	6X
ABILITIES	TRAMPLE, ENRAGE

To increase my dodge chances with Sthispa phase, I decided to use the water element because of their high speed. Diemonshark will serve as a tank and hopefully a good one. It would be cool if the trample is activated but I'm more interested in the enrage ability. The enrage will increase his speed and so his dodge chance as well. A tank that can dodge a lot of attacks is a good tank.

MONSTER 2
NAME	TORRENT FIEND
SPLINTER	WATER
EDITION	CHAOS LEGION
RARITY	LEGENDARY
LEVEL	2
MANA COST	0
ATTACK	1X MELEE ATTACK
SPEED	2X
HEALTH	2X
TOUGHNESS	0
ABILITIES	NONE AT LVL 2

In the second position we have the Torrent Place. For me, this guy is always there to absorb some damage and in this battle, I hope to absorb a lot of damage with him. He will serve as a second tank and given the Equalizer ruleset, he will be a good tank for 0 mana.

MONSTER 3
NAME	CHAOS DRAGON
SPLINTER	DRAGON
EDITION	CHAOS LEGION
RARITY	LEGENDARY
LEVEL	2
MANA COST	14
ATTACK	3X MAGIC ATTACK
SPEED	3X
HEALTH	10X
TOUGHNESS	4X
ABILITIES	FLYING, SCATTERSHOT, BLAST

Now for the Chaos Dragon. I chose this monster particularly because of that scattershot and blast combo. I’m not really a fan of the scattershot ability but the blast can help to distribute some damage around and considering the Equalizer ruleset, I really need that damage.

MONSTER 4
NAME	IGOR DARKSPEAR
SPLINTER	WATER
EDITION	CHAOS LEGION
RARITY	EPIC
LEVEL	3
MANA COST	2
ATTACK	2X RANGE ATTACK
SPEED	3X
HEALTH	5X
TOUGHNESS	0
ABILITIES	NONE AT LVL 3

With just 2 mana left to fill up, I decided to play Igor and so I put him in the fourth position. I’m going to need as much damage as possible and with the Equalizer ruleset so why not.

MONSTER 5
NAME	SUPPLY RUNNER
SPLINTER	NEUTRAL
EDITION	CHAOS LEGION
RARITY	COMMON
LEVEL	5
MANA COST	6
ATTACK	2X RANGE ATTACK
SPEED	4X
HEALTH	5X
TOUGHNESS	0
ABILITIES	SWIFTNESS

I really want to make my monsters as swift as possible. To help with that, I added Supply Runner to the lineup. His swiftness will increase the speed of all the monster and so their chances of attacking first and the dodge chances.

MONSTER 6
NAME	WAVE BROOD
SPLINTER	WATER
EDITION	CHAOS LEGION
RARITY	EPIC
LEVEL	3
MANA COST	8
ATTACK	2X RANGE ATTACK
SPEED	1X
HEALTH	13X
TOUGHNESS	0
ABILITIES	TAUNT, CLOSE RANGE

Of course I was going to use Wave Brood. This team would be incomplete without him. With Taunt, Wave Brood will draw all the enemy’s fire from the rest of the team especially from the tank. That is, unless of course if the enemy has a Scattershot.

Did My Strategy Work?

Everything worked out fine in the end. Thanks to Wavebrood’s taunt, I was able to preserve Diemonshark and let him do so much damage.

The Phase buff did not work as well as I hoped but it’s not a problem. The increase in speed, however, worked a charm because I was able to increase Diemonshark’s dodge chances significantly. Also, when Void Dragon got to the front, he was able to dodge some attacks given his flying ability and increased speed.

The idea of using Torrent Fiend as a secondary tank was also great. The little guy was able to take so much damage for free. It must have been frustrating for the enemy.

Do I like the Dragons

Just like I have said in the past, I don’t really like the Dragon element as other people do. Sure the monsters are cool but I just have not used them so much. Also I don’t have a dragon summoner. However, with the addition of Sthispa, I may begin to use Dragon more often. I really like the summoner.
