Splinterlands - A Winning Streak

avatar

Hi Splinterfans,

After my very rocky start with many losses, I managed to turn things around and get on a winning streak and start earning some DEC tokens. My first goal is to try and earn a chest. I'm not sure what that means but I think possibly it could earn some more crypto.

Here I keep the focus on my earth splinter and hope my tank can hold out long enough so that my 2 ranged monsters can do some serious damage to them.

I think they expected me to add some magic attack and that would have weakened me pretty badly. In the end, it was a nice victory. You can see that I gained 0.007 DEC. I think this isn't too much, but it has been going up fro 0.001 DEC.

In my next battle, I noticed that Mylor Crowling wasn't available. Im not sure if my rental expired or was cancelled on me? That was bad timing. I checked and the card costs around 28283 DEC ($20) but shows the market value at $12,37 (-37%). I'm not sure why that is.

In this battle, I was very lucky and still managed to pull off a victory. The very deadly Pelacor Arbalest can attack twice and with a boosted range attack value. I managed to only win 0.003 DEC which isn't too much either!

Result: Win

After renting Mylor Crowling out again, I was ready for battle. Unfortunately, my opponent was much better prepared. My 8 battle winning streak came to an end.

The magic attack was too much for me and I lost quite easily. I will need to find a tactic to defend against this onslaught in the future.

Result: Loss

Summary

My goals are to keep improving my earth splinter to get a formidable team that can take on most opponents. I am 32 rating away from being able to compete in the bronze league II.

I'm not sure what benefits that will bring me yet. Hopefully, I can stay there as my opponents may be tougher.

I still didn't get a chest yet, so this is a big goal for me. I am currently 114 SP away from getting a chest.

My DEC and credits are slowly disappearing. I may need to buy some more if I cant earn any. My ECR rate is at 80% now, so I need to try and let it regenerate a bit. Probably I should try and play just 20 rounds per day.

I need to research level 2 cards. I'm not sure what they are and when I can use them. But maybe I need to think of upgrading at some point.

Thanks for reading.

Such a lot to take in! You look like you're doing really well
I've bought SPS, but I won't be playing, I don't have the time to learn everything at the moment 🙂.

Thanks, im doing my best to take everything in and get it running. So far it is a lot of fun. It does seem to take some time at least to learn the game.

You are doing a great job learning how to play Splinterlands. I think the first chest takes 300 RP in the bronze level.
I sent you a card to help your collection power and reduce any penalties from playing standard cards.

Playing at the Bronze League, I find both Water and Earth Splinters very useful. My first preference of course is water and earth is second.

The ideal team for water: 1. Rent Alric Stormbringer, 2. Coral Wraith, 3. Baakjira, 4. Axemaster, 5. Torrent Fiend, 6. Djinn Oshannus, 7. Kelp Initiate, and 8. Venari Wavesmith. This team will go a long way. Once you reach Silver League, you will face tough cards, but level 1 can still win.

As for an earth team, yes I find Mylor very useful. You can rent for now and buy later. Mushroom Seer, Mitica Headhunter, Fungus Fiend, Earth Elemental, Grund, and Wood Nymph will give you a good winning rate.

Of course, as for the earth team, Unicorn Mustang is the best tank for me.

If the Battle Ruleset has the Up Close & Personal or Lost Magic Rule, the Mycelic Infantry is a great tank. 🤓

Yeah, it depends on the rule set. Or Mycelic can also be the best defender of the back position when all melee attackers have the sneak ability.

That's also a good idea. 😏

For Battles with the Super Sneak Rule, putting the Unicorn Mustang at the front slot to resist Magic attacks which are dealt at the front and Mycelic Infantry to catch all Melee attackers at the back helps a lot in making your team last longer for the Battle. 🤓

Thanks for the !CTP! 😀
