Splinterlands - My First Rewards & Strategy Going Forward

After my first season in Splinterlands, I wanted to share my experience in this article. We will start off with my rewards and then I will try to outline my strategy for the further weeks. I am still trying to find a decent strategy to push for the higher leagues, but I think I am starting to understand this game more each day I am playing it.

 

Rewards

As expected, my rewards in Bronze 3 were not that amazing. I knew that I would get only five loot chests and that my rewards would not be the rarest items in the game. On the other hand, I am still a little disappointed because in my rewards chest and in my daily quests so far, I was not able to get a single reward card. Maybe it is bad luck but maybe the developers deactivated the reward cards for Bronze 3 as well. Maybe some of you can tell me if my assumption is correct.

Nevertheless, I am starting to understand the game more and the one thing that I learned already is that tanks in the first position are one of the most important units that you should have. That is why my number one look out will be for price efficient tanks that could help me to get to Bronze 2. Another thing that I learned is that magic is very powerful. This is the reason why I am very tending towards magic cards right now. With this being said, I know that in higher division there could be a possibility of not having a match that allows magic. Due to this I have to have back up plans as well.

 

Next Steps Moving Forward

As mentioned above I will try to put a strategy together to get out of Bronze 3. I read and heard that the main aim should be to reach Silver 3 since there are some nice rewards to get. But for me I think I should try and focus to reach Bronze 2 first. This requires me to have 1000 CP. My question now is: How do I manage my resources to get to Bronze 2? The first thing that comes to my mind was to load up some money and try to find some cheap cards. On a second look this strategy looks VERY expensive and I am not ready to spend this amount of money into a game that I just started playing.

The second thing that a lot of people recommend is the renting system. It seems like it is very doable to acquire 1000 CP for about 2 to 3 DEC a day. With this strategy I could just get one legendary card and be done with the CP. But I don’t think that this will help me succeed in the Bronze 2 divison. That is why I am trying to spread the CP a little bit up into 2-3 splinters that I will be mainly using plus the neutral splinter. This way I hope to get some useful cards that will help me win games moving forward as well as keep the 1000 CP to stay in Bronze 2. I roughly tried to calculate how this would look like:

Given the fact that I will be paying 3 DEC a day and assuming that I will get about 0.2 DEC per win, I would need 15 wins a day to come out even. If I have about 25-30 games to play a day, I think that this rate is doable. This of course only works if I get the cards that will help me win and proceed. To make this more profitable I would need to find cards that are cheaper. But this I will have to find out by myself. For those who don’t know, the website PeakMonsters is providing very useful information and you are also able to rent your cards there. But most of the readers probably know that already.

Conclusion

I am very excited to track my progress in this game and I am thinking about posting about it every once in a while. I also saw some weekly challenges to post about, so I will try to write about them as well. In the meantime, if you guys have some advice for me on which monsters, I should rent, I am always very thankful for any help!

Ah awesome, we are in the same boat! So hopefully we can help each other a bit! I am also renting my way out of bronze III for the first time this season! Let's hope we both do well!
