Splinterlands is a complex game, and it allows for various cards and strategies. Each fight is different as there are various rulesets applied, and this can give specific cards an advantage depending on how you use them. In this post, I talk about a great battle where I won because I used Great Bear Druid.
Featured cards
Great Bear Druid is a neutral splinter that costs 9 mana. This card starts with the duo magic and melee damage. Leveling this card increases its melee damage and speed by 1. As this is a Frontier card, it can only be upgraded once. This was my first legendary card in Frontier, and it was also the first card that I maxed. At level 2, it has an extra speed and attack so it is more powerful.
Rule Set, Battle, and Plan
The rulesets this time are No Pain, No Gain and Melee Mayhem. This means that all monsters gain the Painforge and Charge Ability. There is also 28 mana available, and I can use every splinter except fire and death.
| Splinter | Mana Cost | Position | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marlai Singariel | 6 | Summoner | +1 Magic |
| Asel Alagosdil | 4 | 1st | Divine Shield |
| Great Bear Druid | 9 | 2nd | |
| Mystic Scaleweaver | 9 | 3rd | Slow |
| Total Mana: | 28 |
The focus of this lineup is to keep my monsters alive while dealing damage and outlasting my opponent. My archon is Marlai Singariel for the +1 magic. Asel Alagosdil is my tank with divine shield. After that is Great Bear Druid and Mystic Scaleweaver as magic damage dealers. Great Bear Druid has charge so it can also melee damage from the second slot.
Round 1
At first glance, I think that this match can go either way. My opponent has higher level monsters, but I have Great Bear Druid. I think the extra melee damage is enough to give me an advantagee and it is decently fast.
Round 3
A few rounds later, my opponent is down to just 1 monster left, while I still have all of mine. This is my win because my opponent can't outdamage me.
I won the match later that round.
Conclusion
The battle this time did go exactly as planned. I thought this match was over when I saw the maxed-level Scaleweaver, but Great Druid Bear pulled in the win for me. The extra melee damage and speed let me overcome my opponent's Saltwater Mage.

What did you think of my match? Was there anything you would have done differently? I think it is quite interesting to see how different players use the same card.
