Scale Doctor Weekly Battle Challenge || Ep. #31 || Splinterlands

This week's battle challenge focuses on the legendary Dragon Monster, Scale Monster: Scale afflictions are especially difficult to treat, so the Gloridax doctors must be skilled at treating all types of monsters, up to and including Dragons. Healing a sick Dragon is often a lost cause, and Scale Doctors are frequently put to death for failure in saving a Dragon’s life.

Card

I love the weekly battle challenges as they introduce you into cards that you have never played with or known about it. I didn't have the Scale Doctor and managed to pick up 1 BCX card for $0.99, which is a steal for a legendary card. At level 1, the card is not great as it only 1 range damage, and 2 speed - this stats are relatively low to make any meaningful impact especially at the price it commands. At level 1, the strengthen ability helps improve the survivability of the team. Where this card appears to shine is unlocking the other abilities and if you place it in the backline behind some tanky monsters - this is when this card excels by providing repairing armor, negating enemy monsters armor and healing.

Battle Details Mana Cap: 20 Rulesets: Healed Out, Weak Magic I wanted to try out the Scale Doctor, but I needed to shield him with either very tanky monsters or lots of friendly monsters. Generally, I am not very confident when I go into battle with a level 1 card, and my heart did sink a bit further when I saw my oppositions lineup - leading with the Kraken. Nonetheless, as the battle progressed - the Scale Doctor and the rest of the team chipped at the Kraken's health. Once the Kraken had fallen, the battle was done and dusted, and I secured victory. Why did I win? I think due to all the buffs and hexes applied by my team, and my opposition team's wasn't doing enough damage to my backline monsters. Full Battle Replay https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=1113977a6265c5a8b7f9288cbaacfc3513e048d7&ref=mercurial9 If you enjoy reading my Splinterlands content, please support me by signing up to playing Splinterlands through my affiliate link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=mercurial9. 7 reasons why you should be playing Splinterlands https://www.publish0x.com/mercurial9/7-reasons-why-you-should-be-playing-splinterlands-ep-11-spli-xdrxexn?a=Vyb82ANmev Comprehensive guide for new players to Splinterlands https://www.publish0x.com/mercurial9/comprehensive-guide-for-new-players-to-splinterlands-ep-13-s-xwnevlv?a=Vyb82ANmev The biggest mistake all new players should avoid https://www.publish0x.com/mercurial9/the-biggest-mistake-all-new-players-should-avoid-ep-20-splin-xmdoxzj Best time to buy and sell Splinterlands cards https://www.publish0x.com/mercurial9/best-time-to-buy-and-sell-splinterlands-cards-ep-28-splinter-xqopzkd Starter deck for the Fire Splinter https://www.publish0x.com/mercurial9/starter-deck-for-the-fire-splinter-ep-14-splinterlands-xejnkpy?a=Vyb82ANmev Starter deck for the Water Splinter https://www.publish0x.com/mercurial9/starter-deck-for-the-water-splinter-ep-16-splinterlands-xvrljye Starter deck for the Earth Splinter https://www.publish0x.com/mercurial9/starter-deck-for-the-earth-splinter-ep-18-splinterlands-xxondxd Starter deck for the Death Splinter https://www.publish0x.com/mercurial9/starter-deck-for-the-death-splinter-ep-22-splinterlands-xpjedkw Starter deck for the Life Splinter https://www.publish0x.com/mercurial9/starter-deck-for-the-life-splinter-ep-24-splinterlands-xkkwxnw Starter deck for the Neutral Splinter https://www.publish0x.com/mercurial9/starter-deck-for-the-neutral-splinter-ep-26-splinterlands-xzyxlen Thank you for reading and hope you have a good rest of the day!
