The Haste & Hesitation Towards The End

---

Minutes or hours to the end of the season are always the most active, this is because many players are battling to enter a league, which then increases their season rewards, others are just counting down the clock because they've already done their business two to three days before the end of the season. But why will a player stop playing two to three days before the end of the season? It's simple. The last results of your battles determines your seasons reward and not how farthest you went during the season.

Many already have a target and immediately these targets are met, they do not bother to play any more because of either losing their position or aiming to win more, but eventually losing out. One thing with splinterlands battles is that your last game isn't as good as your next game. Although you could predict your opposition by permutations from the last five to sixbattles nevertheless, there's the element of surprise that might not expect.

This was particularly me and a few players who had already stopped playing before the end of the season. Although we have some players who mostly becomes active some days to the end of the season. I feel that the rules of the game, determines the in-game behavior of almost all the players. If the rules were set to getting rewards for the farthest one gets, people would compete till the last minutes of the seasons. However, I do my business very early in the season and stop playing in other not to jeopardize my position. But it's been a season where I've played some of my most exciting battles. It's highly competitive and even when you're losing, you're learning.

The Issue With Mastering The Life Element

---

I've mastered almost all the element except life, the reason why I haven't mastered life is because of the life summoners at my disposal. I personally own two General Sloan and one mother Khala, the mother Khala gives one extra health and the General Sloan gives one extra range attack. People who Mostly uses these summoners plays Pelacor Arbalest, portal spinner and even add lone boatman they each have +2 speed already making them fast.

They also have +2 range attack already. So what the general Sloan does is to add an extra range attack making them have +3 range attack each. With a good mana, they're potent some of the best and whenever I play them, I usually find it hard to counter their attacks, except I'm using monsters with shields. The life element also have some speedy magic monsters with sneak and flying ability. However, I truly am not a fan of range monsters, I find it difficult to field range Monsters, plus the summoner alone isn't an encouragement.

Factors Determining My Choice Of Summoners

---

One of the factors that determines my choice of summoners is the summoner's ability to counter the strength, the speed and the health of my opposition. When using the water element in a high mana game, I don't fail to turn up with my Baakjira, it reduces the potency of my opponents monsters plus using the Kelya frendul gives me two additional abilities. I like using summoner that gives two additional abilities. Because the more ability you have, the more your chances are actually increased.

This isn't always the case, but it's always the case in most high profile battles. I've found out that, out of ten times I played games with 99 mana, I won 8 losing only two. This is because I'm totally unmatched in high profile battles, no matter the rules to the game. In the past, I used earth monsters, when I have +99 mana, but I have more legendaries in the water department. These legendaries in high profile games never fails to disappoint. Here's proof in this game. But then, this isn't always the case.

The Usual Rewards & Pack opening.

---

Not to deviate, I got x9 season's reward for being in bronze I. I'm totally looking to hit 15k collection power to get out of that League. It wasn't the most exciting of rewards, but it's part of the gathering process. I also took the opportunity to open about 7 packs. I have gotten to the limit of my pack opening. I promised myself that I'll stop opening the packs when it gets to 50. It's currently at 52, so 2 more packs to open and them I'mhodlingthe remaining ones.

I've opened over 65 packs so far and gotten some few legendaries, but my hope for a GFL never materialized, through the season, I was opening and playing. I did get some decent cards while opening. The highest valuable card I've gotten is a level three gold max paragon, with a collection power of 2.5k, although I did sell it. But it was worth it. It's the beginning of a new season, and I'll be looking to do my business very early.
