Hi guys, I will be sharing with you my **DRAGON** lineup that I use all the time, I love using monsters with **SNEAK** monsters, and **DHAMPIR INFILTRATOR** is one of the newer cards that can dominate. I'll go over my strategy for this game as well as my thought process for each of the monsters I used.

First, we have to know the story of **DHAMPIR INFILTRATOR**, and according to the splinterlands [lore](https://splinterlands.com/?p=card_details&id=457&gold=false&edition=3&tab=lore); Unofficially, Dhampir Infiltrators are employed by the Gloridax Empire as spies, thieves, and assassins. Because of their half-vampire lineage, they are especially proficient at their work; they have the unnatural reflexes, strength, and agility of a vampire yet are not harmed by sunlight. They do, however, require blood to survive, and the blood of dragons is powerful indeed. It's rumored that the Gloridax provide the Infiltrators with an ample supply to further enhance their already unnatural abilities.

Officially, however, the Gloridax Empire denies any affiliation with Dhampir Infiltrators....

This card's regular foil is priced at **$0.213** per 1 bcx at the time of writing, and if upgraded to level 4, it will require **25 BCX** for a total cost of **$5.325** and will also give **500 CP**.

# <center>WEAKNESS AND STRENGTHS  </center>  

**STRENGTHS**, this monster only costs 4 mana, allowing him to play in both low and high mana cap games. Additionally, with his two abilities available at level one, **SNEAK** and **DOUBLE STRIKE**, this monster will be one of the best in the **LITTLE LEAGUE** ruleset.


**WEAKNESS**, this monster has low HP and no armor, making it vulnerable; a monster with the **THORNS** ability can easily counter this monster, and monsters with the **OPPORTUNITY** ability can eliminate it in a single turn.

# <center>  RULESET  </center>

<center> https://i.imgur.com/AYF8YtS.png  </center>


The rulesets **UNPROTECTED** and **EQUALIZER** https://i.imgur.com/yz8P5Bs.png will strengthen **DHAMPIR INFILTRATOR**, the **EQUALIZER** will remove its low HP weakness, and **UNPROTECTED** will help eliminate the enemy much faster because there will be no monster with armor. This is why my strategy for this game was to go for heavy melee damage with the **SNEAK** strategy lineup and to strengthen this lineup I will be selecting monsters that will boost melee damage.

<div class="pull-left"> https://i.imgur.com/IQzsht0.png </div>

**DARIA DRAGONSCALE** is the best summoner for **DHAMPIR INFILTRATOR** because her **+1 melee damage** ability increases **DHAMPIR** basic damage and makes it more lethal.

<hr>


# <center>  TANKS </center> 


<div class="pull-right"> https://i.imgur.com/awqlhsu.png </div>

**DJINN CHWALA** will be a great tank in this lineup due to his **THORNS** ability, and with both his speed and damage, he will also be considered a great damage dealer capable of destroying the enemy's front line.


<hr>

<div class="pull-left">  https://i.imgur.com/gawp4Ka.png  </div>

**TIDE BITER**, is my second tank because of his **REACH** and **REFLECTION SHIELD** ability. If the enemy chose **BLAST** damage monsters, he will be able to negate the blast damage, giving me more time to deal more damage with my **DHAMPIR INFILTRATOR**.

# <center> SUPPORT </center> 

<div class="pull-right">  https://i.imgur.com/e6pVmAH.png  </div>

**RIVER HELLONDALE** is my only support in this game, and he will boost both my defense and offense with his two abilities **RESURRECTION** and **INSPIRE**. His **INSPIRE** will increase my **DHAMPIR INFILTRATOR** damage even more, and his **RESURRECTION** will allow my tank to live for a longer period of time.


<hr>

# <center> SNEAK MONSTERS </center> 

<div class="pull-left">  https://i.imgur.com/ozeOedQ.png  </div>

**URAEUS** is one of three **SNEAK** monsters I chose to assist my **DHAMPIR INFILTRATOR** in finishing off the enemy.


<hr>



<div class="pull-right"> https://i.imgur.com/dxOnxME.png </div>

**PELACOR BANDIT** will be the fastest of my **SNEAK** monsters, dealing damage and softening them up before my **URAUES** or **DHAMPIR INFILTRATOR** can finish them off. I also placed him in the last position because of his **FLYING** ability, which will cause any **SNEAK** monster to miss.

<div class="pull-left"> https://i.imgur.com/yOzSuF6.png </div>

The main character in this lineup is **DHAMPIR INFILTRATOR**. This lineup was designed specifically for this monster, as his **SNEAK** and **DUAL STRIKE** will be lethal against an unprotected backline monster, and with my **PELACOR BANDIT** and **URAEUS** doing the initial damage, this monster will eliminate or finish off the enemy backline monster.

**DARIA** vs **YODIN**, if we describe them solely by their abilities, it would be **MELEE** vs **RANGE**, the enemy went for high speed with a low HP monster in order to use the **EQUALIZER** ability.

**<center>ROUND 1</center>**

The enemy lineup was frontline damage, while I focused on the back, and we both lost a single monster. However, my **RIVER HELLONDALE** revived my **DJIN CHWALA**, giving me a numerical advantage.
This round MVP was my **TIDE BITER** because of his **REFLECTION SHIELD**, the blast damage from **YODIN** was rendered useless this round.

**<center> ROUND 2  </center>**


The game flow drastically changed in the second round, I lost my **DJINN CHWALLA** again, and my **TIDE BITER** almost died, but I was able to eliminate two of his damage dealers, giving me a two-monster advantage.

**<center> ROUND 3 & 4 </center>**

I finished off **DJINN INFERNI**, his last remaining damage dealer, but lost my **TIDE BITER** in the process, and with the enemy only having a single monster with the damage, I was able to close the game without losing any more monsters.

# AFTERTHOUGHTS


This is one of my favorite lineups, and I would not change anything because, in my opinion, it is the best melee strategy in this ruleset and mana cap.
I enjoy using **DHAMPIR INFILTRATOR** because of her ability **DUAL STRIKE**, and it will be even more powerful at level 4 because its base damage will be increased from one to two. This monster is mostly used when I use the DRAGON splinter and with the **LITTLE LEAGUE** ruleset.
