> [@Vangor](#): > > Did you read my post? Does anyone read my post? I am asked how i “manage” to beat krakens with my dragons and i give precise instructions that dont say anywhere to blow up the board with TDS and everyone wants to tell me i am wrong because explosion wont work… > > I KNOW EXPLOSION DOESNT WORK!!! I DIDNT SAY BLOODY EXPLOSION! I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT TDS… I read your post. You have a KrystenaxX2 - Dragon Soul - Sylvanimora team. Two of your four troops are exploders. I understand that KrystenaxX2 takes away green and purple from the board, at a high price if I may add. I can ever understand you use Sylvanimora for his webbing trait and never set him off - which would cause a stripe explosion. But TDS has to be there for a reason. My reason for using Dragon Soul is exploding the board and feeding his fellow dragons. Also pain and sorrow for all enemies. Also souls, but it’s irrelevant here. What do you use TDS for, if not exploding and feeding the Krystenax? --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/would-kraken-still-be-meta-without-devour/31152)._
