Updating my account's journey in Splinterlands. Click here for the original post.
I will talk about my current rating, my most used lineups, my rewards, and my strategy moving forward.
I rented some cards and have managed to reach the rating for Silver
However I've decided to stay in Bronze for now. I found the Soulbound cards problematic in my battles. I don't have any SB cards yet. Cards like Ravenhood Warden (has Protect ability!) and the martyr cards are annoying because they give a huge advantage.
It's a bit of a dilemma for me. If I move to Silver, I can probably get better rewards from chests, but I would also fight players with more reward cards.
Also, I don't have enough staked SPS. The 260 SPS that I staked only gives me around 3.9x boost as of now. It will even go lower if I move up in rating. I put up this bid if someone's nice to fill it plsssss
Anyway, these are my current battle stats:
With Modern being bot free very soon™ I am thinking of trying to get even to the bottom of the LB in Bronze.
I'm not very confident I can, but we'll see what happens.
I'd say the lineup that brought me to current rating is mostly just different variations of Mylor Crowling with Unicorn Mustang, Goblin Psychic, Mitica Headhuner, Queen Mycelia, Failed Summoner, Beatrix Ironhand, Acid Shooter, and Fungus Fiend.
I don't know of a way to track my card usage (for free) but the above are my most used cards I'm sure.
Some variations of those lineups are like these:
I think this is a strong lineup because it protects against Melee because Mylor gives the Thorns ability which does return damage to melee attackers.
It also protects against Magic because Failed Summoner has Magic Reflect ability which does return damage to Magic attackers.
Unicorn Mustang also has Void Ability which cuts Magic damage to half (rounded up).
So since we got the defense against Melee and Magic, our main problem would be Range attacks.
Queen Mycelia has Protect Ability which gives armor to the team, so it helps tank some damage from melee and range attackers.
Goblin Psychic has Tank Heal Ability which heals tanks.
So hopefully that will help mitigate Range attacks.
I also use Beatrix Ironhand and Mitica Headhunter because if the enemy uses the same Mylor+Unicorn Mustang lineup then it will be weak against Range. And both Beatrix and Mitica have high speed so they can damage the Unicorn Mustang before it even gets healed (Goblin Psychic is slow af)
I have not rented the OP summoners like Yodin Zaku or Scarred Llama Mage. But maybe I will if I get closer to the LB rank.
And oh I got my 1st daily reward. I only got 4 chests because the Unicorn Mustang I used was just starter card so it reduced my rewards.
I guess not that bad since Swamp Spitter is one of the good SB cards in bronze (the 7 mana cost kinda limits its usage though).
I have since rented a Unicorn Mustang. The 2nd daily chest is now 8!
Ugghhhh....these are all high mana cards. But the Ferox Defender could be useful because of Protect.
Hopefully I'd get better rewards next time. And hopefully I can get to the LB.
That's it for now. Cheers!
