Another recurring Splinterlands event is the Community Engagement Challenge, with a different theme for the NFT Game community to create content and debate about. This week the theme will be “The Art of Synergy”, #SplinterSynergy, with the objective of talking about the synergies that exist with the cards, which cards work well together and what kind of advantage they create. So, for this theme I decided to present a simple synergy that occurs between high-speed units. Curious to know the 7-Speed combo with 3 cards and 18 mana?
I'll be much appreaciated if you Upvote, Reblogs or give any Tips ( PIZZA 🍕, PGM 🎮, LOLZ 😆, ALIVE ❤️, etc ). Thanks and have good reading! 🍀
[ENGLISH VERSION]
The Importance of Synergy!
For a beginner player or even a player who has been playing for a while but still doesn't have all the cards, much less their card collection leveled up to the maximum level, don't worry, because even if you don't have the strongest cards, which do make a difference, it is still possible to defeat your opponents through strategy and Synergy between Cards.

An example of a simple synergy is when a card from your team or even the chosen summoner gives a buff that increases the attack of all your allies, as is the case with the Earth Element Summoner Obsidian. It grants all allied cards +1 magic damage, thus, all mages receive a buff generating the most direct synergy. So, if your opponent has a card with 2 magic attack and you have two cards with 1 magic attack, with this buff you end up having 4 magic damage per turn. Do you understand the difference? Finding and understanding the synergies and buffs of cards is the way for players with weaker decks to defeat players with expensive decks.
The Fast Water Combo: Kelya + Oshannus
The Speed-focused Combo for the Water Element has as its key piece perhaps the strongest Rare Summoner in the Chaos Collection, which is Kelya Frendul. This card, in addition to granting +1 Speed to all allies, also gives +1 Shield. Along with Kelya, another key piece is the Djinn Oshannus, who has an incredible stat and ability kit. His base speed is 5, his HP is high, starting with 10 and his attack is not bad, with 2 magic damage. In addition to the status, his void ability reduces magic damage by half and phase makes him dodge magic damage as well, which usually always hits.

The strength of this combo is that in addition to having a high chance of deflecting, the shield protects against melee attacks, while Oshannus holds back magical attacks and defeats opponents alongside the Supply Runner, which is important for diversifying this team's attack so as not to be countered by any unit resistant to magical attacks and guarantee the +1 Extra Speed. So, the result is Oshannus with 7 Speed, a total of 4 damage for only 18 mana.
How to improve this Speed Combo? 0 and 1 Mana.
Since this strategy uses few cards, focusing on the water and neutral elements to bring maximum speed, it ends up leaving a lot of space in the rest of the team composition. Therefore, it is always a viable option for the player to add some 0-cost cards to fill out the rest of the available team. The first option for those who play in Wild or Tournaments and Brawls that accept the Beta collection is always to have or rent a Chicken, because you end up being able to add it to almost every battle. Currently, a Normal Furious Chicken is going for $1.21. Its GF version, which will guarantee bonuses in matches, is $12, 10x more expensive.
For the Modern Format, there is the Fiends option, but unlike the chicken, which is for any element, you will need one for each element, which is a little more expensive.
In addition to the 0 mana cards, when you have one mana left in the match, you can choose to use Creeping Ooze, to further increase the speed difference between Oshannus and the enemies. This is often a cheaper option for Furious Chicken, because its normal version is $0.25 and the Gold Foil is $4.99
