I'm nearing 3 weeks of playing Splinterlands and halfway through my 2nd season. Next season brings some big changes to the game. More of that in another post. But today I bring you an update on my gameplay and tactics so far.
My current ranking is 82922 and I'm firmly in the Bronze league II, bordering on the Bronze league I, depending on my current winning or losing streak! My win ratio is just positive at 50,5% but really needs a big boost here. @engilhramn is really nailing it with the focus chests and end of season chests and I need to up my game.
Next I have started to build my first deck. Here I have focused on the Earth Splinter that is green. You can see that I've marked the "Tank" cards below.
It's important to have a good tank. The card "Grund" that I have rented, I like because he has high lift and can attack twice in 1 round. It is only a shame that he has no shield.
The other thing I have found important is to have some good low value cards with skills for those low mana games. Here I have Khmer Princess, Fungus Fiend and Acid Shooter.
Levelling Up
I was also struggling to earn any RP and chests last season and was advised to level up. Therefore I rented Mylor Crowling and it is costing me 19.69 DEC per day which seems very pricey. Im checking the price now and it is available for 12 DEC now. Somehow Im paying quite abit for card rentals!
This is a good all round Summoner that I usually combine with a strong tank and ranged card. This now boosts my RP earned to a decent level each win and I am getting more chests.
In-game Pointers
What has also helped to improve my game is to take notice of the "rules of combat". This seems to change for each game such as no magic or only melee attack and paying attention to this can help your strategy and improve the win ratio.
The 2nd thing I was paying attention to is the "Active Elements". Here some elements arent available each game and so I cant always play my only Earth splinter deck. This usually means I will lose and get less rewards as I dont own or rent the cards.
Rating/Power
So I figured out that when you are winning games, you get something called ratings points and you can progress up the leagues when you win and get more.
However, you cannot progress up the league like you can see above because I dont have strong enough cards or enough "power" to progress to that league. Therefore I need to buy or rent some more cards to increase my power.
DEC Energy Capture Rate
In order not to waste energy, it is important to use it up in plenty of time. I currently have usually time in the evening for Splinterlands but not always in the morning. Usually the energy recovers quite fast and therefore I have found you usually need to play twice per day.
It therefore makes sense for me to run my Energy Capture Rate to at least 85% each time so that if I dont get a chance to play in the morning, i am not allowing my energy to sit idle at 100%.
Summary
It's a long and slow process to try and learn the game and with no experience of these card games it is a bit of a disadvantage.
However, there is a great community of players who have given me some great tips and it has been lots of fun learning and trying to get on top of the game.

Nice to see your progress in the game! If you get close to the next level in terms of rating but lack power... you might tell me and I could help you along ;-)
Thanks, I am struggling daily to keep enough power to stay in Bronze I. That would be great if you can! Do you recommend certain cards for keeping your power up?
!CTP
I delegated to you 3 GF untamed cards of the green splinter. They are not very useful in the game but they give you a total of 2K CP. That should help you to stay in Bronze 1 without needing to rent additional cards.
Thanks Achim! That has given my power a nice boost! Cheers. !CTP

Good to see everything is coming together! 50.5% winrate is already decent. I'm around 56%, see it's not a big difference.
Next step will be to pay attention to your daily focus and play accordingly (yeah, that means leaving Earth), so you can grab a few daily chests.
!ALIVE
Thanks!!
Yes im wondering what tactic I should you to bag those focus chests... can i rent the focus daily? (is the focus the same for everyone?) would the costs be more prohibitive if we all rent the same focus! lol
!ALIVE
!CTP
Nah, every one has a different daily focus, and you can reroll it if you want.
The thing is: any win counts for the EoS chests, but only wins with the daily focus count for the daily chests
thanks, I need to re-focus as i dont have any daily focus chests yet. this isnt so great!

Hey man, seems like you are doing great! In my opinion, 19 DEC/day ain't that much a gold foil Mylor if you compare it to normal Obsidian for example. Plus it brings that CP.
It's true that the prices of summoner fluctuate a lot and that's why I just rent them for day hoping to get the best price!
!CTP
Thanks for the tip! I hope that I earn enough DEC to cover the costs. So far 20+ chests so Im much happier!
You are welcome! Have you thought about buying a few cards that don't cost a lot but rent out at a good price?
Then you would be covering the rent in costs and maybe make some profit by doing so.
Yes, this is my goal. Do you have any suggestions?
It's kinda tricky, but I'd check the prices of some Untamed monsters, they are not that expensive(yet), and rent out pretty good. Goblin Thief is $0.81 and I rent it out at the price of 5.6 DEC/day. Goblin Chariot is $1.45 and I'm renting it out for 6.5DEC/day. Not guaranteed though that they'll go out with these prices every day. Thief is out now but Chariot is not.
Thanks for the starter tips!
You are welcome!
I got them and listed my low hanging fruit cards too. Lets see if this brings any DEC in! 😆
Great! I'm sure they will and besides that, they are good investments!
Great job mate thanks for sharing on Listnerds

Is that the weekly battle challenge? I planned to do a post about that next. !PIZZA
You can submit two posts per week. One for Share Your Weekly Battle Challenge and another for Social Media Challenge. An article like this that you made can earn between 20 to 30 USD. Of course, ultimately, the weekly reward depends on how the curation team will evaluate your post.

Ah cool, I did one for the social media challenge but no battle challenge yet. Thanks for the heads up! :)

Do you have maybe an idea about how much time total in week do you currently spend on Splinterlands?
Voted on ListNerds!
Great to see your progress.
You should also consider joining a Guild.
It gives a additional DEC earning boost. Plus, it will enable you to obtain
Gladiuscards too. :)!CTP
Thanks for the advice. That sounds pretty cool. I will look into it. !CTP
Are you looking for a guild? The @acolytesofhelio would be happy about a player who also is a content creator on hive. Let us know! Hop on our discord!
