Last week I wrote about Battle Assistants and Brawling, specifically, looking at the public data around who is loading funds to XBot's Battle Helper. If you don't know, XBot is a token-based battle automation service for Splinterlands, and Battle Helper is their Discord-based tool to recommend highly ranked lineups for any match, including brawls and tournaments.
Last week was the first brawl cycle that Battle Helper service was "open to the public" without a token, and it was a great kicking off point. Now, another brawl is finished, so let's take another look at how things are developing.
More Guilds and More Users are buying Battle Helper Credits
Whether you look at the number of guilds with at least one member using Battle Helper...
| Number of Guilds with BH Users (by Tier) | Current Cycle | Last Cycle | Total Guilds in Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 4 | 23 | 20 | 34 |
| Tier 3 | 41 | 32 | 119 |
| Tier 2 | 37 | 24 | 258 |
| Tier 1 | 24 | 18 | 380 |
...or instead you look at the number of players...
| Total Users (by Tier) | Current Cycle | Last Cycle | Number of Frays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 4 | 68 | 53 | 21 |
| Tier 3 | 77 | 59 | 18 |
| Tier 2 | 62 | 40 | 16 |
| Tier 1 | 37 | 28 | 13 |
| Other (includes players not in a brawl fray) | 28 | 32 | - |
Across the board, we are seeing more guilds with Battle Helper users, with the biggest increases at Tier 2 guilds.
Spotlight on Tier 4 Guilds
Let's take a look at the counts since last time at our most competitive Tier:
