Splinterlands - how do I start?

in OCD5 years ago

So I have been hearing so much about this amazing blockchain game and I want to start playing but I haven't been able to yet. I have some time this weekend and would like to get started with it before I get busy on Monday so wanted to get some information and maybe clarify some things before I start.

Will I need to stake any of my Steem/Hive to play this game? Will I lose my coins if I lose games?

This is probably the biggest question I have in starting to play this game. If this is not a problem, i'll start playing right away, if not i'll do something to practice my skills before I start playing. Last thing I want to do is start playing this game and start losing all the Steem or Hive that I have accumulated along the last few months.

Please let me know how this stuff works from a token/NFT perspective more than the gameplay.

TIA!

Naaa you don’t loose your hive/Steem or any of your in game assets when you loose a game...,yeah you do need to have some hive staked though just little enough to give you room to play.

If I lose a lot of games, will it affect my reputation or score or something like that?

So there is something called dark energy crystals DEC, it is the in game token for Splinterlands, you earn it by winning battles or burning your cards. However, there is something also called dark energy capture rate, each time you fight a battle, the rate drops by 1%(I think) but it recovers per hour(I think), so the lower your dark energy capture rate goes, the lower the amount of Dec you will win. So to be back at 100% dark energy capture rate, you will need time for it to recover, that’s all. It doesn’t affect your reputation

Awesome, thank you!

You’re welcome.
