**Speed** is very important in battles because having high speed reduces the chance of missing and increases the chance of avoiding attacks, and most importantly, it allows being the first to attack. That's why I attach great importance to Speed in battles. 

It is possible to reduce the speed of all enemies by 1 with the **Slow Ability**, and increase the speed of all friendly monsters by 1 with the **Swiftness Ability**. It is also possible to reduce the speed of enemies or increase the speed of all friendly monsters with **Summoner Cards**.

For example, **Kelya Frendul** increases the speed of all friendly monsters by 1, while **Quix the Devious** reduces the speed of all enemy monsters by 1. That's why I attach great importance to using these abilities and these Summoner Cards in battles.

**Quix the Devious**

**Quix the Devious** is a powerful **Dragon Summoner** that reduces the **speed** of all enemy monsters by 1 and reduces the Ranged Attack of all enemy Ranged Attack Monsters by 1.

**Kelya Frendul**

**Kelya Frendul** is a **Water Summoner** who grants **+1 speed** and **+1 armor** to all friendly monsters.

I will share one of my most interesting battles about speed, I hope you like it.

**Battle Ruleset**

![](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTC2tdHM8f3gcgWZRBKB6WxSAK1FhtrEdQQyUHYWf1jtv/ruleset04102023.png)

- **Going the Distance**: Only Monsters with Ranged attack may be used in battles.
- **Explosive Weaponry**: All Monsters have the Blast ability.
- **Unprotected**: Monsters do not have any armor and do not get armor from Abilities or Summoner Buffs.

Considering the rulesets of the battle, I thought Speed would be very important in this battle, so I chose **Quix the Devious** as the **Summoner**, and also added **Supply Runner** with the **Swiftness Ability** to my team.

Being high-speed was really useful for my team in this battle and gave my team a great advantage in the battle. The 5 monsters on the opposing team were destroyed before they even had a chance to attack in the first round, allowing my team to win the battle quite easily. Only the Queen of Crows remained in the opposing team, and since she had 12 health, she could not be destroyed in the first round, but she was destroyed in the second round. That's why I attach great importance to speed in battles. Being high speed provides a great advantage in many battles.  I recommend you to watch this amazing and very interesting battle from the [Battle Link](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_327d5d5f0c32f7063cadea6af4d15cf2&ref=rtonline) and you can see how important **Speed** is in battles, I hope you like it.
