CUBLIFE | Just When You Thought That The Leo Team Has Done It All! LeoFinance | New Projects | New Tokens I used to consider the Leo token as just another token when they started on Steem. Though, I did notice that their tokens were worth way more than the other s**t tokens on steem-engine back then. But then, with Steem itself struggling to reach $0.15 for most of 2019, I did not expect any of the steem-engine tokens to do better. Then Hive happened, and here we are.…

Splinterlands | Peaceful Giant | Takes Hits But Does Not Retaliate Introduction A year ago, as a novice, I realized that high mana battles are where you can take all your heavy hitters with a few that can hide in between, while the low mana battles were only about heavy hitters—no hiding monsters. I defined hiding monsters as those that did not have attacks or did not have strong attacks. I guess I saw the Peaceful Giant as one that cannot be taken into a small mana battle…
Splinterlands | Life Leech | Ancient Lich’s Health Goes To 35 Introduction One of the best abilities, in my opinion, is the Life Leech ability in the Splinterlands game. Of course, there would be others for whom other abilities work better, but for me, the life-leech is the best in the business. How else would you explain, a monster with three or four health goes all the way to twenty and more during the battle? You’ve got to love that ability. I plan to talk about that…
Splinterlands | Silvershield Bard | Ignore At Your Own Peril Introduction Let me start by saying that I had never held the Silvershield Bard, nor was I planning to buy the lady. However, with the Splinterlands character/card article, I thought I would give her a shot. And boy, am I mighty impressed. She was immaculate in battle, and I guess I had underestimated her. We will soon see the battle but let’s talk about the Bard for a moment. I assumed her to be in the same…
Splinterlands | Lobstradamus | First Use Report Introduction Tell me that I am the first one to have tried out the Lobstradamus and posted about it. Or at least I am one of the firsts. Alright, even if it is neither, here is another first that I got. The Lobstradamus was my first ever airdrop on Splinterlands after so many many of them went by. So, quite excited that it happened after all. 😊 I am still a bit unsure whether the Lob was the first airdrop or the Halfling…
Trodl | Uptrennd Closes Down | 250 TRO tokens for First 10 K The Story, In Short | Go Get Your 250 TRO Uptrennd was running mighty losses and loss of reputation because of spammers and low-quality posts making tons of 1Up. So, at the end of last month, Jeff, the CEO, said that Uptrennd is closing down through his post. But the good news is that it would not just be lost to history. They intend to merge with Trodl, a new site. So, Trodl, a crypto social site, has launched its…
Splinterlands | Oaken Behemoth | The Legendary Boar Introduction A month back, I used the extra DEC that I had to buy five untamed packs and one dice pack. I got lucky with the untamed packs where I got a Byzantine Kitty. I had written about the same some time back. However, what I did not cover was that I got lucky with the dice pack too. The dice pack got me the Oaken Behemoth, a legendary card trading at $8 per card. That was a cool find. So, while I was happy with the…
Splinterlands | Octopider | Strong and Healthy Ranged Attacker Introduction Octopider is a card that caught my attention as soon as I started playing Splinterlands. And the reasons are obvious. When battle after battle, you notice that the opposition outlasts your monsters, you realize that the Octopider is a good addition to the team. With its relatively high health for the bronze league, you are more than certain that you would last the opposition’s onslaught. Of course,…
Splinterlands | Social Media Challenge | Minotaur Warrior Introduction When I started playing Splinterlands about a year back, I remember using the Minotaur and putting it somewhere back in the lineup. Since I did not understand what the reach-ability could do, I just placed it in the lineup like any other monster. Needless to say, I saw the Minotaur do nothing and eventually gave up on it. It was only after a month in the game that I realized what the Minotaur was really…
