I hadn't really thought of this until now, but I just realized that as annoying as climbing leagues can be, staggering abilities across monster levels in a form of level-gating doubles as a passive tutorial.

I'm a huge fan of games that throw you in the deep end but give you floaties so you at least don't drown while you're flailing about. Splinterlands starts you with a whole mess of cards to learn, but at least they aren't stacked with abilities.
