Splinterlands Social Media Challenge

Hi splinter fam,

The new season has started and as usual we are trying our best to make sure we earn a lot of sps and also some glint. For most of us we have to always buy extra energy cause the time it takes the energy bar to get to 50 is at times tiring. Remember it takes exactly 50 hours to move from 0 to 50 which is equal to 2 days and 2 hours. That is how long it takes but then it takes less than 3 hours to deplete it. So it is very important to take this into account.

Last season I was able to make it to champion III but then I contested in the diamond league leaderboard. I made it to the 27th position on the glint leaderboard which made me eligible for 100,000 glint rewards of which I will probably use and buying a lot of energy and also some reward chests. At times it seems more beneficial to buy more chests cause you might end up getting a lot of energy from those chests. Also ranking up the leagues also mean that energy acquisition becomes more and more expensive. So what some people do is when the season end they made sure to buy a lot of energy cause at that time they would have been taken down a lower league for the beginning of the season.

Incase you haven't heard, splinterlands survival mode has returned and well I think it will be better. I have not tried it out yet but I expect it to be better than the test version. I also expect the sps rewards to reduce a bit but I can't bet on it cause I think there will still be only a few people playing it, It is an exciting mode but it makes it scary to play in it since you can potentially loose your cards to cool down even if you end up winning the battle.

Enough of glint and survival mode. Let us talk about one of my battles.

I have always said that, spl is a moving game and as such we are always learning. When Ii started playing spl, I thought the only way I could play around the reverse speed ruleset was to bring cards with just one speed. After playing for a while I realized that at times you don't even need to concentrate on the speed, first make sure your cards can withstand the attacks and they can endure as well.

So in this particular battle it was the reverse speed ruleset, broken arrows and healed out ruleset. From all this rulesets the only defining factor was the reverse speed. At first I wanted to go in for cards with just one speed but then their abilities discouraged me from doing that. I say that cause even though they hard good attack they health and other abilities which would make them withstand attacks weren't available so I opted for cards with 3 and 4 speed as my first 3 cards. I did have to go for cards with 1 speed eventually cause those cards would generally have a bigger say in the battle.

I opted for the Bella Ratajowlski card, a card that has turned out to be one of my favorite summoners. The deflect ability makes it easily likable and it serves me a great deal cause when the opponent comes with tofu or blast elements I am able to take it all in.

The shield also plays a big role as you only get to feel 50 percent of the damage and it helps a great deal.

for you to watch how the game went but then I won but it could have taken a different turn in the dying minutes of battle.
