My Splinterlands: Season 3 Episode 1
Back to Bronze this season! After my poor last season with silver chests, it's time not to play the smart-ass, but to consolidate my account. I want chests, and I want them raining!
Day 1: Life
If I play Life, you can be sure it was a re-roll, and an unlucky one!
However, despite the fact I don't like playing Life (or facing Life for the matter), I have to recognize I had a good start with it. I started the season with a nice 9 wins streak, and finished the day just 4 points short of Bronze 1. 4 points, like if I played 5 minutes later my last match and my ECR was a tiny bit better, I would be there. I also got 6 chests in the meantime, not to shabby for a first day!
But except that, where's the fun? Is there any other archetype for Life except the all-in "taunt and heal" ? Like this match. It's not even fun to win like that, it's borderline disgusting. I feel dirty.
18 wins - 6 losses
Rating: 300 => 696
Cost of rent: 17 DEC
6 Chests: 7 DEC, 3 Commons
Day 2: Earth
Perfect to advance further! Mylor, check, Obsidian, check! It didn't go as well as I expected though. I had a rocket start, but that didn't last. It's still early in the season I guess, people haven't climbed to their rank maybe.
I'm still very happy with one match in particular. Do you know what is better than beating Life? I tell you: beating Life at their own game! Aaah! Such joy! How does your own medicine taste?
16 wins - 13 losses
Rating 696 => 845
Cost of rent: 38 DEC
12 chests: 36 DEC, 2 Rares, 3 Commons
Day 3: Water
There are still discounts on the renting market, I was happy to find a GF Kelya Frendul for 5 DEC. From there, I could set up a nice team on the cheap but effective side, for no more than 14 DEC! (13.99 DEC, exactly)
My best surprise: I was set against Earth, the guy played alternatively Mylor or Obsidian. As I played magic monsters in the last previous matches, I went with melee attacks, hoping the opponent wouldn't play Mylor. Actually, he did but made a big placement mistake. He might be a bot though, he has an excuse if so.
14 wins - 8 losses
Rating 845 => 1040
Cost of rent: 14 DEC
12 chests: 153 DEC, 1 Common
Day 4: Fire
Another unlucky re-roll. Fire could really use another archetype other than the unpredictable "big melee damage with sneak". Sure, when it works, it can be super fast. But when queuing into piles of Mylor, it's a pain in the ass. I did manage to beat one, but that's quite the exception. In the end, it went quite well actually, I expected worse. Some matchups are impossible to win, but it is what it is.
One the good side, nobody wants to play and rent Fire, so it's quite cheap on the market.
17 wins - 12 losses
Rating 1040 => 1102
Cost of rent: 13 DEC
14 chests: 48 DEC, 3 Rares, 3 Commons
What a change compared with last season! The Bronze chests are accumulated faster than I would have believed! I have 43 EoS chests already, 69 to be beaten, there's competition!

"He might be a bot though, he has an excuse if so." gave me a good chuckle 😂

But you had a far better rating, and a better strategy now, I won't slow down, nice try!
I'm at 50 EoS chests now, not much difference and it's just the beginning of the season. Nothing is played in advance! !LUV

Yeah, Water is fun too, but a bit under Earth. It's really the most versatile one. Death would be third, but I don't know it well yet. And no healing is an handicap.
Let's see if we can get in the same guild! I would properly kick your ass in duels! !LOLZ

Spl gods don't like cocky talk, they punished me... Man, I have Earth focus, and my cheap tactics don't work anymore... 5W-8L, I guess I'm above the bots and have the honor to have my ass handed to me by real people...
Yeah, in 2 days I think the brawl is over and I'm there! You know, we are already active, on discord, it's already more than the average random guy around.
I don't remember what's left...

Hahahaha! Sorry for the delayed reply again-
I'm going to have one of them bad days today I feel like with Death, I'm finally going to practice with good rentals but not sure how well it will play out this late in the season with my ranking somewhat "high" already, might just get whopped every game
Looking forward to being in the same guild! Hopefully catch you tonight for pizza triva and gartic too ;)

Yeah, I should be there for the trivia!
I finished the brawl too, I'm at the door right now :)
I haven't played Death for a while, but last season it seemed okish. Better than Fire and Life (I got Life today, more losses than wins)

Great update!! Do you get chests during the season too?
Thanks for the LNs mention! 😅
I'm at around 15 focus chests per day, and 55 already for the end of season.
Yeah, I figured you really wanted to see this: with the different matches, it can give you ideas how to play the different splinters. You will have to let go of Earth someday ;)
You spotted the placement mistake by the way? If the monsters were placed differently, I would have lost.

Im not racking up any focus chests yet. So far just 12 EoS chests with just my Earth Splinter. Im already thinking I need a 2nd Splinter deck.
Im unluckily losing a few games by bad placement!!
Thanks for the tips.

Dear @engilhramn, we need your help!
The Hivebuzz proposal already got important support from the community. However, it lost its funding a few days ago when the HBD stabilizer proposal rose above it.
May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work?
You can do it on Peakd, Ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.
