⚠️ SURVIVAL MODE IS HERE—BUT IS IT WORTH PLAYING?
- Shorter Season Than Expected! ❗ Ends February 27 (Not Feb 29)!
- Survival Mode replaces energy with CARD DEPLETION! 🃏💀
- Only high-budget & high-skill players seem to be thriving! 💸
💥 Does this mode reward strategy—or just big spenders? 💥
🔥 HOW SURVIVAL MODE WORKS
- Defeated cards enter COOLDOWN for days! 📅
- Gold Foil cards have HALF the cooldown time! ✨
- Owning multiple copies = HUGE advantage!
💡 Casual players may struggle to compete due to long cooldowns!
⏳ COOLDOWN TIMES—HOW LONG ARE YOUR CARDS LOCKED?
| Card Type | Max BCX Cooldown | 1 BCX Cooldown |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 5 Days | 15 Days |
| Legendary | 2 Days | 5 Days |
| Gold Foil | Half Time | Half Time |
- Check depleted cards under "Survival Mode Depleted" in Items menu! 🛑
- Hover over the red cooldown icon to see time left!
💀 RESURRECTION POTIONS—A PAY-TO-WIN MECHANIC?
- Potions instantly remove cooldown for a single card! 🧪
- Available for DEC, Credits, or Glint! 💰
- Some players want a system that reduces cooldown in HOURS instead!
💥 Will potions make the mode even more pay-to-win? 🤔
📊 COMMUNITY CONCERNS—IS SURVIVAL MODE FAIR?
🚨 Major Issues Raised:
- Renting high-level cards is now more expensive! 💸
- Leaderboard rewards are in Glint, NOT DEC—players are frustrated! 🏆
- Glint is mostly used for potions & energy—DEC still needed for other purchases!
- Casual & budget players feel excluded due to high costs & card depletion!
💡 Many players are hesitant to engage—Will devs make changes?
🤖 BOT CONTROVERSY—ARE REAL PLAYERS EVEN COMPETING?
- Bots are ALLOWED in Survival Mode, making it harder for real players!
- Many players want a bot-free version like Modern Mode!
- Some argue bots make competition unfair & lower engagement!
💥 Should Splinterlands introduce a bot-free Survival Mode? 🏆
🏆 LEADERBOARD & FUTURE OF SURVIVAL MODE
- Current Top Player: 100,000 points, 31 battles, 26 wins! 🥇
- Leaderboard activity is LOW so far—will it catch on? 🤔
- Unclear if SPS rewards will increase or if DEC incentives will be added!
🔮 Potential Future Changes:
✅ Cooldown time reductions
✅ Higher SPS & DEC rewards
✅ Bot restrictions or a separate bot-free Survival Mode
💥 FINAL TAKEAWAYS—IS SURVIVAL MODE A WINNER OR A FLOP?
✅ Great for high-budget players with deep card pools!
❌ Brutal for casual & budget players due to long cooldowns!
❌ Glint rewards are underwhelming—players want DEC!
❌ Bots may be ruining competition!
👀 Will Survival Mode be reworked—or is it doomed to fail? 💀🔥
