In this game you have to be patient, expect your opponent's ideas, plan well, and know how to arrange your cards. In this article I would like to share some ideas I have about this game, maybe some tips as well, I'm not a very good player, but we might exchange some ideas.

Before we get into the main topic, I'm going to talk a little bit about the rewards in the game.

The rewards will be better as you progress through the leagues. But what are those rewards? There are many types, you can get cards, common, rare, epic, or legendary. There are also credits (1,000 credits = $1), and DEC, to help you buy and rent cards. And there are the potions, and I think they won't help you in the early leagues, but they may be useful later.

Let's talk about the four ideas above:

First: patience.

In this game you need some time to advance in the leagues and grow, you must play a lot of battles, participate in a lot of daily quests, and wait for the end of each season to get more rewards.
Sometimes you can get frustrated with the lack of rewards, because at first you won't get DEC, just too few credits, too few cards, and too many potions that you won't use right away. But as you continue with the game, you will advance in the leagues and get better rewards. (I've been playing Splinterlands for months, and now I'm getting good rewards because of my patience and not giving up).

Second: expectation.

When you enter a battle, you should be aware of the elements the opponent has used recently choose the item to use, (example: if he used the Earth element in his last battles, he will often use it again against you, I recommend using the Fire element with the Summoner Tarsa, and choosing monsters that have Sneak and Opportunity abilities, they'll help you get rid of magical monsters).
So, it is very important to expect the opponent's choices to know how to deal with him and win the battle.

Third: planning.

When you expect the element and monsters the opponent will use, you move to the stage of choosing your element and summoner, then define your strategy for dealing with the opponent's monsters. You may want to focus your strikes on the opponent's first monster using magical monsters or archers, or you may want to attack his back lines by Sneak and Opportunity abilities. And there is a role for luck in battles according to the opponent's choices and his arrangement of his cards.

Example in the picture👇: In this battle, I expected the opponent to use a monster with the ability of Sneak, so I placed an insignificant monster to protect my rear and delay the injury of my important monsters. But this time, I wasn't so lucky because the opponent didn't use a Sneak monster.

Fourth: Arrange the cards.

Arranging your cards is a very important matter, and it is related to planning, and a good arrangement helps you to benefit from the capabilities of your cards.
If you put one of the archers in the first position, you will not gain any benefit because the archers do not attack from the first position, it is better to put the archers in the last positions, and to put an attacking monster with high attack power and great health.

Also, you can put cards without any attacking abilities in the first positions in order to receive strikes and give the opportunity to monsters that have the abilities of Sneak, Opportunity and Snipe to attack the opponent's monsters, and also for magicians and archers to attack the first monster of the opponent.

These were some of the ideas that I wanted to share, the social media challenge is fun and useful to learn more about the game and achieve a good spread.

Good luck to all of you.
