Having a good attack and a good defense is a basic strategy in Splinterlands and there is a card called Carnage Titan that is perfect in both.
Follow me in this post to understand more about this incredible card from the dragon deck.
The Carnage Titan has a lot of health and armor, which makes it a great choice for defense, especially because of its Shield ability.
Shield - This ability makes the Carnage Titan only take half damage against physical attacks, meaning that melee and ranged attacks will only do half damage to the Carnage Titan.
In addition to being a great defense, the Carnage Titan is also a great choice for offense because it has a lot of melee attack and the Double Strike ability.
Double Strike - This ability makes the Carnage Titan attack twice per round.
With this combination of attack and defense, the Carnage Titan is one of my main battles in Splinterlands when the available mana is high. The reason I only use it in battles with a lot of available mana is because its mana cost is 11, so it is not the type of monster that can be easily used in low mana battles.
One of the reasons I like to use the Carnage Titan in my battles is because of its Reach ability. It is a great defense, but I don't need to use it in the first position because of this ability. This is very good because it can survive longer in battle, causing a lot of damage and it will also be useful as a secondary defense.
Reach - This ability allows the Carnage Titan to attack in the second position even though it is a monster with a melee attack.
Monsters with a melee attack have a big disadvantage, which is that they are only able to attack in the first position, but there are battle rules and abilities that help it attack in other positions, the Reach ability is one of them.
Another reason I like using Carnage Titan is because it belongs to the Dragon deck, which means I can combine it with several other monsters from other decks, so the amount of strategies I can use with Carnage Titan is high and for this reason the Dragon deck is one of my favorites in Splinterlands.
The Carnage Titan is one of my top choices for battles with a lot of mana available and whenever I use it, I don't regret it.
