Ways to Get Prepared for Splinterlands Town Defense

Splinterlands comes up with a brand new game for GameFi ecosystem. It makes you feel like a loading Splinterlands Metaverse / Splinterverse and it is pretty normal. The team collaborated with Double Coconut to develop this new game together.

It seems like those who want to use their brain power for #Play2Earn games will come and play any game developed by the Splinterlands team in the future 😉 As a person who played Tower Defense games for years, I'm waiting for it 🔥

Now that the game is under construction, it is better to get well prepared for it as it will have another SPS Reward Pool for your battles!

Check out Tower Defense Post and the recent Town Hall post to have a better idea.

Questions and Assumptions

After my personal examination, I wanted to share my thoughts and questions in my mind with you. Let's brainstorm 🌀

NFTs and Soul-bound assets:

Collect mighty towers, fantastic spells, and brave heroes to hold back the hordes as long as you can!

Basically, we will be collecting and trading Heroes, Towers and Spells that are going to be major source of protection on the battle field. These NFTs will be tradable as stated in the Town Hall. However, there will be ingredients to craft some things (most probably spells), as well. They are not going to be soul-bound.

Towers; Where is the Death Tower?

I could not see a Death Tower among the towers. I have 2 assumptions.

1. There is a Death tower but there will be rule sets in which some skills and towers can be banned.
2. The 6 abilities mentioned may refer to 6 elements (Death & Dragons and the ones on the visual)

Spells will further boost your towers. They add an extra element of attack and can be combined, upgraded, and carefully overlapped to create punch-packing combinations.

Spells, ECR for Spells or not?

Spells may require some certain SPL cards to be strengthened. For example, Cat Rain may be boosted with Antoid SPL cards or Furious Chicken. Should we start collecting cheap cards which are for a couple of cents? 😅

Heros will have health and take damage as they battle their enemies, and once they run out of health, they will withdraw from the battlefield.

Most probably Heros will start the battle by walking from you and start fighting with enemies where it comes across (through the mid of the field). Not enough info about Heroes but we will try to balance its HP and Power for a better performance.

End of Waves during the Battle

you will be offered a choice: retreat and take your rewards or “Press Your Luck” and risk your earnings trying to complete more waves and earn bigger rewards. Each wave can steal some of your rewards… or you could lose them all!

It seems like we will have 100% HP in the beginning and the more damage is received, the more rewards will be lost. To get the whole reward, the enemies should never attack the tower similar to Clash of Clans mechanism where you lost coins when you are attacked.

SPL Staking

Any Splinterlands cards can be staked into a tower to give it bonuses, such as improved stats, better ECR recharge rate, and more.

In our accounts, we may have tens of Towers vary from level 1 to level x. According to their ECR rates, we may use them in the battlefields. So, the plan may be to recover the strongest one, by staking SPL monsters, faster to make better gains.

Voucher Squeeze & 1M SPS Per Month!

If you check Riftwatcher and Tower Defense announcements, you will easily understand that every single Voucher is precious 😅 These tokens provide a decent discount rate for your purchases. Considering $8 for Tower Defense and $5 for RiftWatchers, Vouchers will be needed a lot!

The new SPS reward pool for the game is a great idea. With the help of proposals, the amount may be re-adjusted. For the beginning, 1M sounds fine to me.

the higher the player’s level, the more rewards they are entitled to… but at these higher levels, they must also stake more SPS in order to unlock the maximum rewards.

Do you want to get rewarded better? 2 Rules:

1. You should play well and increase. your level.
2. When you increase your level, grow your SPS stake to get Max rewards!

The Packs
$5 SPS + 1 Voucher for $8 packs sound normal in Splinterlands.

Every Pack has a 0.2% chance to receive the Promo Hero

The critical point is owning this Promo Hero which will be pretty strong compared to the others IMHO. You may grow your towers and hero by staking cards but in-born strong Hero will be a great advantage in the battlefield.

According to Town Hall:

Packs will consist of 5 random Towers
Out of the 25 total Towers in the intial set

So, will there be 5 Towers each may have one of the 5 different attributes? In this case, there will be a Death Tower but there will not be a Dragon Tower???
We will see 😅

Airdrops

Airdrops will have a similar mechanism as in Splinterlands but getting this Promo Hero is crucial! Better to have as many packs as possible before 250K Packs are sold out.

Do you want to get the best results?

1. Stake SPS as much as possible -> more rewards & more Vouchers
2. Grow your deck -> Needed to be staked on Towers for extra power
3. Allocate some money -> Getting Promo Hero is crucial in Pre-sale.
4. Follow the Town Hall -> Get some clues for the game dynamics
5. Collect cheap Vouchers -> Vouchers will be as precious as Gold!
6. Rent your cards -> Collect as many DEC tokens as possible

TL;DR

An incredible strategy game is under construction 🚧
There is room for every Splinterlands asset; from Voucher & DEC to Monsters! Starting as a PvE game, we may have a great PvP game if it goes viral. I have huge hopes for the future of it 🤞

As usual, the game is developed perfectly balanced in terms of the utility of the digital assets, the tokenomics and in-game dynamics such as the use of ECR & Staking. I shared my questions and thoughts above.
