HELLO to all Splinterlands readers of my humble blog.👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Welcome to yet another week of the "new" iteration of the Splinterlands Weekly Challenges 😜. The "old" Battle Challenges are now a thing of the past (at least for now?) and they have been replaced with the "Splinterlands Community Engagement Challenge: Support Articles about Training Mode".
For any old Hivers/Splinterland players who've just come back and are confused, fret not! Even with the name and format tweaks, right at it's core, battles are still the foundation of these posts.
In this week's edition of my Support Articles about Training Mode, I will do something drastically different from my usual battle showcases. Instead of war, I will become a peaceful teacher showing all new players how to most effectively navigate the topic of "Support Articles about Training Mode".
Splinterlands has just given players a powerful new tool to level up their game — Training Mode. Gone are the days of blindly testing new strategies in ranked matches and watching your rating nosedive. This updated feature provides a risk-free environment where you can fine-tune your decks, explore innovative tactics, and get a feel for how different cards interact — all without worrying about losing rank or rewards. But Training Mode isn’t just a playground for casual experimentation; it’s a legitimate tool that serious players can use to sharpen their skills and stay ahead of the competition.
That being said, here's some tips and tricks from Yours Truly which will hopefully help any new player who comes across this guide. Read on to find out more! 😜
No matter! I present to you — Support Articles about Training Mode.
So without further ado, let me introduce how best to navigate this seemingly impossible task to you! 🎉
⚔️🛡️Mastering Splinterlands' New Training Mode🛡️⚔️
With all that being said, here is how I would advice ALL players on how you can capitalize on some of these simple strategies!
How to Access Training Mode
- First things first, getting into Training Mode is simple.
- Navigate to the "Battle" section from the main menu.
- Instead of diving straight into Ranked or Modern/Wild formats, select "Training" from the available options.
- From here, you can fully customize your practice experience, setting different conditions to simulate real battle scenarios.
At first glance, this might seem like just another Practice Mode, but the customization options make it so much more. Let’s break it down.
What Makes Training Mode Different?
Training Mode isn’t just a place to play random matches — it’s a highly flexible environment designed for learning, refining, and testing new approaches. Here’s why it stands out:
1. Customization at Your Fingertips
One of the biggest upgrades in Training Mode is the level of control players now have over their practice matches.
- Choose Your Difficulty: Unlike before, you now have the option to face automated opponents at different difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard. This means you can start slow and gradually increase the challenge as you get comfortable with new strategies.
- Pick Your Card Set: Whether you want to practice with All Cards, Modern, Ghost Cards, or Ghost Modern, you can tailor your training environment to match the format you play in ranked battles. Ghost Cards allow you to use cards you don’t own, making it an excellent way to test high-value cards before committing to a purchase or rental.
- Summoner Level Caps: Want to prepare for Bronze, Silver, or Gold-level competition? You can set level caps to simulate real ranked battle conditions, allowing you to test how your decks would perform in different leagues.
2. Risk-Free Learning & Experimentation
This is huge for anyone who’s ever hesitated to try new strategies in ranked play. Losing rating points because of an experimental deck can be frustrating, especially when climbing the leaderboard is your main goal. Training Mode eliminates that fear.
- Try out new decks without the pressure of competition. Want to see if a new Life Splinter setup is viable? Now you can test it without consequence.
- Test alternative rule sets that might appear in ranked play. Different battle conditions can drastically change the effectiveness of certain cards. Instead of being caught off guard in a real match, you can prepare in advance.
- Practice without burning Energy or rewards. In ranked matches, every battle costs Energy, which means wasted stamina if you're testing an unrefined deck. Training Mode lets you experiment as much as you want without penalty.
How to Use Training Mode Effectively
The best players don’t just play; they study the game. Here’s how you can maximize your time in Training Mode:
1. Start Simple & Work Your Way Up
- If you’re new to Splinterlands or trying out a completely fresh strategy, begin with the Easy difficulty setting.
- Focus on understanding card synergies, how buffs/debuffs interact, and which compositions work best.
- Once you’re confident, bump up the difficulty to Medium or Hard for a more realistic challenge.
2. Use Ghost Cards to Plan Your Purchases
- Ghost Cards are a game-changer for anyone looking to expand their collection.
- Before investing in expensive summoners or legendary cards, test them out in Training Mode.
- This prevents buyer’s remorse—you’ll know exactly how a card fits into your playstyle before you commit.
3. Adjust Summoner Levels to Simulate Real Battles
- Many players struggle when transitioning between leagues. A deck that dominates in Silver might crumble in Gold because of level restrictions.
- Set the summoner level cap to match your target league and see how your cards perform under real conditions.
4. Analyze & Adapt
- After each battle, review what worked and what didn’t.
- Ask yourself: Did my frontline tank hold up? Were my support cards effective? Should I have used a different summoner?
- Keep notes on successful strategies and tweak failing ones. Training Mode isn’t just about playing—it’s about learning.
Final Thoughts: The Secret Weapon for Competitive Play
At first, Training Mode might seem like a feature for beginners. But the truth is, every serious player should be using it. Whether you’re aiming to master a new splinter, prepare for upcoming tournaments, or just have fun experimenting, Training Mode is an invaluable tool. With its customization options, risk-free environment, and ability to test high-level strategies, it gives players a massive advantage over those who only learn through trial and error in ranked play.
So, what are you waiting for? Jump into Training Mode and start refining your path to victory!

I definitely can appreciate Training Mode and how it changes the dynamics of usual gameplay. This is one of those situations which can be turned into a huge advantage if surrounded with the proper strategies. The role it brings to the battlefield will give a player the edge in squeezing out every tiny advantage to get the win. 👍🏻
I hope this article has given you some insight into its potential. 😉
