The Blast Power That Changes the Battle | Splinterlands Community Engagement Challenge:
Hello, Splinterlands players! Today, I want to share an exciting experience with a card that makes a massive impact in battles: Chaos Dragon. Before we begin, let me admit something—as a fan of strategies with a touch of unpredictability, Blast ability has always been my favorite. Who wouldn’t love hitting one monster while damaging two others at the same time? Here’s the story of how Chaos Dragon turned the tide of battle.
Expectations and First Impressions
For a long time, I’ve heard tales of the legendary summoner Yodin Zaku, who grants the Blast ability to the entire team. Back in the day, if your opponent played Yodin, winning seemed like an impossible dream. But what if you had a monster with Blast without relying on a specific summoner? Chaos Dragon came along to satisfy my curiosity.
Chaos Dragon offers not only Blast but also Scattershot. With Scattershot, its attacks randomly hit any monster in the enemy lineup, adding an element of luck that can be game-changing.
I rented Chaos Dragon at level 3, which was high enough to maximize its advantages. As a Dragon-element card, its versatility makes it compatible with almost any lineup.
The Battle Begins
This particular battle had a challenging rule: summoner bonuses were disabled. I chose a Dragon summoner to allow Chaos Dragon to pair with a diverse team. Both my team and my opponent’s had almost identical setups, including Night Reaper, Nimbledook Explorer, and Aves Struges.
The difference lay in the other monsters. I opted for sneak attackers like Uraeus and Djinn Chwala, alongside the star, Chaos Dragon. My opponent, on the other hand, fielded Evelyn Auvera, Corsair Bosun, and Imperial Knight—a team that looked solid, focusing on defense and counterattacks.
Early Rounds: The Tension Builds
The first round felt tough. My Night Reaper became the primary target, enduring multiple attacks. Meanwhile, Chaos Dragon’s Blast attack on Corsair Bosun failed to deal significant damage due to its thick armor. At that moment, I started to feel a little doubtful.
But things took a turn in the second round. My Night Reaper struck first, landing a devastating blow on my opponent’s Night Reaper. This shift in momentum gave Chaos Dragon the space to shine. Its Scattershot attack hit a monster in the middle of the enemy lineup, breaking down their defensive strategy.
Chaos Dragon Takes Over
Chaos Dragon’s ability to hit three monsters at once was the game-changer. When its target was positioned in the middle, the Blast effect damaged the monsters on both sides. As a result, my opponent lost their rhythm, with key monsters falling one after another.
The highlight of the battle came in the third round. Chaos Dragon’s Scattershot landed on Aves Struges, which happened to be flanked by two low-HP monsters. The result? Three monsters took heavy damage simultaneously, and my opponent’s strategy crumbled in mere seconds.
Reflection and Lessons Learned
Chaos Dragon doesn’t just rely on raw power; it also introduces an element of surprise. While Scattershot might seem risky, in this match, it delivered incredible results. If you’re looking for a card that can turn the tide in a single blow, Chaos Dragon is the perfect choice.
The speed of my Night Reaper also proved crucial in securing victory. Its initial strike disabled my opponent’s Night Reaper, creating an opening for my team to dominate.
If you want to boost your win rate, I highly recommend renting or even owning Chaos Dragon. The combination of Blast and Scattershot is a deadly weapon worth trying.

Conclusion
This battle taught me the importance of flexibility and strategies that don’t just rely on brute strength. Chaos Dragon proved that cards with broad effects like Blast can effectively dismantle an opponent’s formation.
So, what do you think? Have you tried Chaos Dragon at higher levels? If not, I highly suggest giving it a shot, especially in battles where Dragon cards are allowed.
Good luck in your battles, and may victory always be on your side! 🚀
