If your last look at Hive Wizard was around the first Wild-only bot automation release, a lot has changed since then.
Hive Wizard has grown from a focused automation tool into a broader Splinterlands workspace: a place where you can run accounts, manage rentals, plan around missing cards, test battles, and soon even break down replays with clearer explanations.
The goal has stayed the same from the start. Hive Wizard is built to remove repetitive work without turning your account into a black box. You should be able to automate the grind, stay in control, and understand what the platform is doing for you.
In this update, here is a quick look at what Hive Wizard offers today and how each feature is meant to help real players in day-to-day use.
Battle automation is still at the center of Hive Wizard, but the experience around it is much stronger now.
Instead of just turning a bot on and hoping for the best, Hive Wizard is designed to give you a cleaner account workspace. You can connect your account, configure the way you want it to play, and keep track of what is happening through battle history, session logs, status panels, and account-level controls.
For the end user, that means less babysitting and more confidence. You can decide when an account should stop, when it should resume, what limits it should respect, and what rewards it should claim automatically. The platform is meant for players who want automation, but still want visibility.
Wild support is now a real part of that experience, not just an early starting point. You can run Wild with dedicated controls, keep an eye on rating progress, manage energy behavior, and even use Wild Pass options so the account is not constantly blocked by manual steps.
The idea is simple: set your boundaries once, let the account keep moving, and still know where it stands when you come back.
One of the biggest friction points in Splinterlands is not always the battle itself. It is making sure an account has the cards it needs to stay competitive.
That is where Rental Lists come in.
Hive Wizard lets you create and manage reusable rental lists so you are not rebuilding the same plan over and over. You can create your own lists, set a budget, keep them private, or make them public so they can be copied and reused. You can also import from an existing collection to build a starting point much faster.
For players managing multiple accounts, this is especially useful. Instead of handling rentals one card at a time, you can think in terms of a ready-made package. A list becomes your preferred setup for a certain account, format, or budget range.
That makes rentals feel less like constant maintenance and more like a repeatable system.
Rental Lists help you organize your targets. Rental Advisor helps you decide what those targets should be.
This feature is built for the common question every rental-heavy player runs into: if I have a certain ruleset, mana cap, tier, and budget, which cards are actually worth renting?
Instead of browsing blindly, Rental Advisor gives you a more focused view. You can filter around a specific battle context and see cards ranked by usefulness, effectiveness, pricing, and value. That makes it easier to spot the cards that can strengthen your lineups without overspending.
From a user perspective, this is not about theory for its own sake. It is about making faster and better rental decisions when DEC efficiency matters. Whether you are filling holes in a collection or trying to stretch a tighter budget, the advisor is there to help you make the next rental choice with more confidence.
Battle Sandbox is one of the most exciting additions because it gives players a way to explore matchups more actively.
You can import a battle, build a scenario manually, adjust mana and rulesets, choose active splinters, edit both teams, and run simulations to compare outcomes. In practice, that means you can use it to sanity-check ideas, test alternate lineups, or better understand why one setup looks stronger than another.
This feature is not only for advanced theorycrafting. It is also useful for everyday decision-making. If you are unsure about a lineup, if you want to compare two approaches, or if you just want to learn the shape of certain matchups better, the sandbox gives you a place to do that without risking a live battle first.
We are also actively working on Battle Replay Explainer.
The purpose of this feature is to make battle review much more approachable. Instead of just watching a replay and trying to mentally reconstruct what mattered, the explainer is meant to help answer the questions players actually care about: what decided this fight, where did momentum shift, and what should I change next time?
That makes it a natural complement to automation and the sandbox. Automation helps you run. Sandbox helps you test. Replay Explainer is being built to help you understand.
This is the direction Hive Wizard is moving toward more broadly: not just tools that act, but tools that also help you read, adjust, and improve.
Hive Wizard still keeps pricing tied to practical value.
Battle automation uses a credits model that charges on wins, which keeps the cost easier to follow and closer to actual outcomes. You can top up credits in-app and review your transactions without needing a complicated billing structure around every action.
That matters because a good automation product should not only save time. It should also stay easy to reason about.
What Hive Wizard offers today is bigger than the first version people saw at the start.
It is still a serious automation tool for Splinterlands players, but now it also gives you better support around the full loop: account control, rental planning, rental decision-making, battle testing, and soon replay explanation.
If you want to spend less time on repetitive actions and more time running your accounts with clarity, that is exactly what Hive Wizard is built for.
