Have a look at this battle:

From the rules, it is quite obvious that it is better to choose dragon summoners.

When I see the enemy lineup, I am just thinking to myself that I am so dead. Either double attack or blast. Even with the reduce in speed, they are still moving faster than my team.

Opponent Lineup

PositionNameRemark
1stKralusI usually have high lose rate against this monster, especially earthquake or posion match. Cant be stun, cant be poison, cant be affliction, high shield and hp with self heal
2ndRed DragonDamn, another double atk, and what i hate the most is the return fire skill. With only 8mana, you can deal 2 magic damage and 4 melee, even has return range atk, 11 hp and self heal
3rdvigilatorusually this is not so scary, but when double attack combine with melee mayham, he can do 4 atk = 10 damage in total, all in a round!
4thChaos DragonThis can be considered as one of the most powerful card in chao legion. And this is what i fear the most too. The scattershot can passby my shieldbearer and with the sommoner boost, it can even one shot my adelane brightwing and pelacor arbalest which can secure the win
5thsilvershield assassinAnother double atk with posion, means it can deal up to 8attack to the backline
6thLightning Dragonits piercing skill i still not so scare cause of just 3 range damage, what i really hate is the stun skill

1st Highlight of the match
After chipping away the shield of Kralus and dealing a few damage, Dessert Dragon suddenly one shot deal a death blow of 12 damage. Damn, it is rare to see Kralus die in the 1st turn.

What is even more crazy is that the Dessert Dragon trample skill got activated and deal another 6 damage to Red dragon, leaving it almost half dead.

And it happen again! In round 2, Dessert Dagon one shot deal 12 to Chao Dragon. With only a max hp for 10 and shieldless at that moment, there is no way that Chao Dragon can survive this attack.

Surprise(and no surprise), dessert dragon activated its trample skill again and killed assassin within 1 turn. Left the range monster in the 1st position, waiting to be slaughtered.

MVP: Dessert Dragon

LV4 is the key cause of the gaint killer skill, trample is also a sweet add-on, making dessert dragon able to deal 18 damage each round! When I was scare of the enemy of double attack and blast to deal heavy damage to the team, end up dessert dragon is the most heavy damage dealer for the whole match, 36 damage within 2 round. With pierce and retailate which is not shown here, it can be even more crazy fight!

MVP2: Shieldbearer

The shieldbearer is actually another MVP that we should not overlook. With the support of brightwing revive, -1 range from summoner and its own shiled and return fire skills, shieldbearer is able to last for 1 round despite the ton of fiery attacks from enemy, even dealing quite a gd damage to invigilator.

This is truely a match that I didnt expect the outcome. And I think this match deserve to highlight the power of under-rated dessert dragon.

Sort:  

shudders What a scary dragon! I haven't made it anywhere near leveled-up monsters, but they really do start to get downright nasty when the abilities pile up. Congrats on the surprise win!

!1UP

I also didnt expect the dessert dragon to be so scary. When the skill complement each other, it can be dangerous.
