Cheers to another remarkable season on Splinterlands! Standing ovation for the only play2earn blockchain game that didn't bored and disapointed me! Next week I will celebrate four years since my first battle!
Splinterlands is a game changer in the blockchain gaming world, delivering an epic mix of fast-paced action, deep strategy, and the power of decentralization. I’ve been hooked since 2020, and every battle since has been an absolute blast!
This game is next-level... scratch that, it’s exceptional! Powered by the Hive blockchain, it guarantees transparency and true ownership of your assets, while being easy to jump into for players of all experience levels. What you get is a gaming experience that's not just fun and rewarding, but one-of-a-kind in the blockchain space.
What really makes Splinterlands stand out is its passionate, knowledgeable community. Filled with veterans and experts, it's a place where players can always find tips, strategies, and a helping hand.
Whether you're a noob getting the hang of things or a seasoned pro sharpening your edge, tapping into the community's wisdom is your ticket to leveling up. A winner never stops... that's why I keep playing!
Splinterlands has a special place in my heart because it kept my play-to-earn passion alive, even when other blockchain games left me feeling burnt out. Don’t even get me started on Alien Worlds, Wombat Dungeon Master, RPlanet, and others!
The game’s addictive gameplay, rewarding mechanics, and thriving community reignited my love for blockchain gaming, showing that play-to-earn can actually be fun and sustainable.
And don’t even get me started on unwrapping packs or opening rewards chests—there’s nothing like the thrill of possibly pulling a legendary card! It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s absolutely unforgettable!
Last season was good, and the rewards where juicy! My highest tier acheived during the event was Gold I, earning 16,010 Glint as the season's rewards.
Was time to spend them wisely, and even if usually I buy only cards... I decided to play with the odds! I had a total of 20,200 Glint spend, and I went for 101 of the cheapest chests!
Was it a a good deal? Not really... as the value of the rewards was 25% less than the price paid to get the chests!
- 5 rare x 750 = 3750
- 21 common x 150 = 3150
- 4 energy x 600 = 2400
- 18 achemy x 100 = 1800
- 17 legendary x 80 = 1360
- 2525 Merits = 2500
I spent 22k Glint and the rewards summed up to only 14985, that's 5215 less than the investment. That amount could have been spent for 7 epic cards! We learn!
On top of that ... during last season I opened three packs and got one legendary! I would belived that is a troll name but it's not! Dude is a RiftWatcher!
According to the lore, Zebajin Tala'varis is a formidable runemancer and veteran Riftwatcher! He has worked closely with Bera Dallin, conducting unconventional warfare, covert operations, subversion, and the training of local citizenries in guerrilla warfare against the Chaos Legion.
Odd-Ones-Out left only the cards with odd mana available for this battle, and no neutral units were available due to Taking Sides. Had no issue to build a team that will rely on spells and mysticism.
Obsidian: +1 Spell Power
Pelacor Mercenary: Melee with Flying
Zebajin: Caster with Armored Strike
Rune Arcanist: Caster with Weaken
Regal Peryton: Caster with Flying
Mycelic Slipspawn: Caster with Taunt
Djinn Biljka: Caster with Camouflage and Void
I didn't selected any gladiator, ignoring the Aren't You Entertained? battle-rule. The strategic choice was made so I could select more units. Noa The Just was the first to fall, was resurrected by River Hellondale ... then fall again!
My strategy included two tanks, all spells being directed to the Mycelic Slipspawn and the Pelacor Mercenary to defend the casters from direct melee hits. It was clear that the Slipspawn demise would come first!
The Kulu Masterminde is a top unit, but due to his Weapon Training skills not for his tanking ability. His demise was swift, and his place was taken by Nerrisa Tridown. It was looking like an even battle!
The Pelacor Mercenary did a decent job, surviving more than the opponent's tank, but he couldn't handle the rain of spells that came upon his way. It was Zebajin's time to shine!
He casted a spell that surprised Nerissa, then hit her with the armored strike. Double damage! The mighty Nerissa was down by the end of the third round, and River was now in a difficult position. Only two attacks, from Zebajin and the Rune Arcanist, and he was eliminated!
The Regal Peryton delivered the final blow, and Zebajin's debut brought a victory. I am thinking about ways to improve his Armored Strike for the next battles! See the full battle here!
