Splinterlands survival mode is my new favorite thing on Hive.
It's really brought me back into the game now that there is an element of excitement about playing again. Such a simple concept but it works so well.
I've noticed a lot of players trying to take part in the latest mode but not everybody is fully committed to the win.
I've moved pretty much all of my cards back to my main account since starting to play the new system. Unfortunately most of the cards that i had spare on other accounts were gold beta singles so not great in the arena or a few maxed out chaos rewards which are actually very helpful.
The biggest thin is summoners as they get used up very fast when your losing battles. Luckily, I'm winning more than losing so I've managed to keep things moving with a few battles every day.
It's easy at the moment when the rewards are so good and a quick way to build my $SPS stack.
My last three wins netted
- 12.56
- 11.28
- 11.47
Which is the same as coming top three in a guild battle or 6 winds in wild. And that's in the bronze tier. If i can manage to make my way to gold level I've seen some huge numbers on X from top players earning big rewards.
But rewards are only one part of it. I can automate my wild account but it's not the same as an all or nothing battle in survival. When you know that every bad call is going to lose you cards then you pay attention to the teams that you put out.
I know that i've been making some combinations that I had never even thought of before and also started using the newer cards in my collection that i hadn't bothered to look at yet.
Luckily I'm getting there maxing out the latest reward collection which is a great help in the new mode as every maxed out card is important now.
Anything with a multiple below is now a maxed out version.
The next move will be trying to earn enough SPS to buy more cards with to stay competitive. Especially summoners. There are a few cheap reward cards on the market but i have multiple copies of those already.
If there was a stronger market out there i could sell some gold singles and buy a few more maxed out cards to fill my collection.
Maybe over a season i might be able to add a few cards every time and move up the ranks. Until then i will just have to manage my collection carefully and stay competitive.
Try for yourself.
If you haven't played the game before then now is the best time to join. Today is much better than tomorrow and a lot better than later.
