I am terrible at Splinterlands, so every little bit of guidance is great. Any f-ups are solely my own!
@xplosive, I wonder if this post would be of interest to you as it addresses some of the problems with which you are grappling I think? If not, please forgive me if the mention is a bother.
Thank you, but I am not interested in buying summoners, nor in any cards. They are too expensive for me. Actually I took a break from playing Splinterlands five days ago (on 2022.02.06) after falling back to Bronze III, and getting a bunch of alchemy and legendary potion charges.
But good luck and have fun to those, who keep playing.
