Slowly Moving Up the Leagues in SoulKeep

in Splinterlands3 months ago

I've made no secret from the fact that I like the SoulKeep game. And therefore, I find some time every day to play it, even if I don't earn anything.

For example, I recently (about a week ago?) fulfilled the requirements to advance to League 3 and I did, right away.

But wow, what a difference between League 2 and League 3 it was.

In League 2, I practically won a prize in the tournament every day, with rare exceptions.

In League 3, I think I only won once... in a week.

The higher you go, the more likely it is to have only players who know the game well and have good collections, so to end up in the first half becomes a challenge.

But it's doable, because there are areas I haven't improved upon and I know I can squeeze a lot more from a few towers and spells, with the proper usage.

It also took me a long time to pass the first gateway from the batlle game mode. I simply couldn't find the right combination to resist the first wave on that map. After wave 1, it was a breeze. In the end, I loved the strategy I used and I started using it in tournaments too, more often, in the first waves.

Overall, it seems like a new game, all over again. I started using new towers and spells and began to learn to use them efficiently.

I can say that I love it. If I had stayed in League 2, I would continue to earn rewards daily, but I started to get bored. I was just farming to be able to go to the next league. Here in League 3, I rarely earn rewards for now, but I love the new challenge and the fact that I am forced to learn new strategies to be successful. Will see how this goes.

It's a tradeoff. Can you change the league that you participate in? I think it might be good for people who want to move back down if things don't work out.

Nope! Once you're up the upper league, you can't move back! Maybe they should allow a test run or something like that. Try it for 7 days once you have the stats, and if you like it remain in the upper league, otherwise move back in the lower league.

I really haven't played it much yet. I opened my cards up and really didn't do much after that. How long did it take to figure out the game?

I still figure it out. It's in stages. You need to find out what works in each league or map. more than on others. What worked in L2 doesn't work as much in L3 anymore so I need to learn different strategies, use different towers and spells.

Haha these days I don't see that many play2earn posts about Hive games... Amazing you are still going strong! All the best!

It's more fun than rewarding for the time being, lol!

Hey i just got to league 3 a couple of days ago too! And you're right, its completely different to L2! WOuld you mind sharing how you beat the first wave, or give some clues as nothing i try gets me past the 1st wave.... the fiends just mock me as they walk straight through in about 15 seconds lol.

There might be more ways to do it. At first I tried focusing on spells, but they don't help because they activate at the first swarm of fiends, and you are exposed at the following.

Then I focused on the towers. I was surprised to find out that 3 x Jack's Joke + Gear Grease on the central one worked. I don't remember if I had more mana for anything else in wave 1.

How come you rarely earn rewards in League3?
Haven’t you been playing well?

Others play better. And I'm still learning what works and what doesn't in L3.
