My Water Splinterlands team with Keyla Frendul as a summoner

I bought ( and received) a few more water cards, and this is my current Water splinter collection.

I already played some of my battles with only Water team, but I had the best results when I combine them with Dragons.

My water monsters with descriptions

Take into a consideration these are all Level 1 monsters, and I included into description what I know.

1. Pelacor Bandit (3 Mana)

   • Abilities: Sneak, Flying
   • Strengths: Targets backline enemies and evades melee/ranged attacks due to Flying. Ideal for disrupting support monsters.

2. Flying Squid (7 Mana)

   • Abilities: Reach
   • Strengths: Effective second-position attacker with high health and consistent melee damage.

3. Merdaali Guardian (3 Mana)

   • Abilities: Tank Heal
   • Strengths: Sustains your frontline tank, ensuring longevity in battles.

4. Diemonshark (8 Mana)

   • Abilities: Trample
   • Strengths: A sturdy tank with high damage and Trample, enabling multi-target attacks when it defeats an enemy.

Mana Cap Strategies

These are only a few ideas what can be done with cards that I own, of course there are much better combos, Neutral cards, using them with Dragons etc...

12 Mana - This yet, has to be tested. I think a combination is good, but I am not sure it will bode well.

20 Mana - I used Flying squid in some other combos and it was good.

40 Mana - I predominantly use some of these water monsters in Dragon team. This is only for an overview what would I do if I was about to build solely water team.

I usually combine Coastal Sentry, Merdaali and Shock Trooper with Dragon monsters.
