Hello Splinterlands Fam,
I'm trying to share with you some interesting matches from Gold3 League, which I can say I have %55-%45 win percentage but having a lot of fun and insight. Even though the rewards are not satisfying I can still find ways to enjoy the game. Hope these insights will give you some better understanding of the game.
I use Bots 👹 Yes, that might sound bad at first (or not at all 😄) but I have a working life and I leave my account to bots whenever I'm too busy. Also it's healthy to stop playing and enjoy life whenever you feel like it and that gives me some freedom. Neverthless, I started to prefer playing by hand; cause usually bots are playing lousy hands 😄 Still they also have some very challenging teams and I seldom lose to a bot by not seeing the obvious.
So I started learning from bots, what are they doing. Basicaly they just choose the most winning team with the cards you have. In this example, in a nature team with Obsidian I learned that: Use Unicorn %80 of the times 😃 And also it's not just that, here are some very handful cards low/mid level bots usualy have in their teams front line:
Living Lava
Serpent of Eld
Unicorn Mustang
Shieldbearer
Bone Golem/Cursed Windeku
This is because these can be used by any player; these are mostly ghost cards. So, a bot makes use of those ghost cards and they can be quite annoying, right? What I did is that I analyzed those basic but powerful teams and come up with fortified, improved teams. Here's an earth team that has a basic skeleton of a bot team but improved with some cards and tweaks.
A dragon team has the advantage of using dragon deck and also another deck. So it might be trouble for me.
So, as I anticipated the rival has one of the best reach cards out there, manticore; and it's from dragon splinter. Other than that, it's all nature splinter. The team is very powerful but the healing element is missing and let's see if I'll be succesful by utilizing it.
Waht I can emphasize is that I took a basic Unicorn front bot logic team and added a queen and Hoarder. That would give me some protection from the bee and also some healing for the cards that are in the backline. I already have the Goblin Physic for the front healing.
So, rival team is melting down. That is so normal.
It takes a little bit time but in the end it's obvious.
I win.
So, as you can see the rival is also a bot but an advanced one. But I took what I learned playing with and against the bots and used it against them.
Thanks for reading.
