It's All About The Summoners!

summoner

When playing Splinterlands I noticed the summoners have a lot to do with how well the rest of my cards battle against the opponent. In the Earth Splinter Mylor Crowling has the gift of thorns. This is like extra damage being done to enemy monsters.

There are other Summoners that can give you extra life, extra magic damage, extra shield, etc...

The interesting thing about leveling up cards is that if you do not have a leveled up summoner then you will not be able to play your leveled up cards. If you have leveled-up cards you can't play, fear not because you can always rent them out.

I Prefer Doing Extra Damage

In the Earth Splinter I like using the Nectar Queen out Front whenever Mana limits will allow, Minotaur Warrior in the second position, and a sneak in the third position. The rest depends on mana and what I think I may be up against. I do like to use the Venari Seedsmith as the Scavenge ability can give this card tank-like life.

I do think the speed and success of the thorns depend wildly on your monster's speed versus your opponent's monster speed. There are a lot of little things that come into play when pairing your monster's abilities with your Summoner's abilities.

Chaos Legion Pack Opening Day Is Almost Here

Currently, I paused all card buying. With the chaos legion pack opening day so close I think my next card purchases or rentals will depend on what I get in the packs. This being said I am still trying to learn all that I can about the cards, and where they play best.

The gameplay will be my ultimate teacher. There is real money to be made here at Splinterlands. I mean a full-time modern income. No, I have not yet reached that point, in fact, I am a long way off. I do know that the income potential is there. By playing the game I will learn over time, where the real value is at. Currently, I think it is in the accumulation, then the power-up, and finally the renting out of the cards.

Thank you so very much for reading.

Summoners are probably the most important cards in the game. Since their abilities are given to the whole team, they can make a huge difference. Mylor is super strong in Earth at all levels.

In the past I did everything possible to upgrade one summoner for each splinter. At that time I didn't pay attention much at what abilities they have. This is maybe my biggest regret now. In some decks I have well developped summoners with weak abilities and it's a big handicap in higher leagues. I think that I will mainly buy summoners once Chaos Leagues are out!

Still trying to decide what I want to do with the packs I have already. Leaning toward opening them and seeing if I get anything worth renting. Tomorrow is buy day! Decisions Decisions

That is the best and worst part about Hive. There is just so much opportunity that the only things I seem to regret are those I did not get involved in lol 😃

There sure is and I am being choosy about getting involved in them. I don't want to overreach and get overwhelmed. Have a great day! 😀

Seeing MYLOR CROWLING in your post I actually had to think twice before upvoting your post for the fear of thorns.
Thank goodness he he is powerless in Hive's voting system!

Thank you for this message on your journey in Splinterlands.
There are so many things to do in the game.
I am going to proceed one step at a time.

One step at a time is the best way to proceed. In the CTP Tribe we say "Slow and Steady Wins The Race" based on the Tortoise and the Hare 😀
