1. Familiarize yourself with the game first, play some practice matches. Read everything there is to read especially the FAQS since it contains alot of information about the skills of every card in the game. Also include the ECR or Energy Capture Rate while you're at it.
2. Take your time and don't rush things. Don't be pressured with the other's progress. Everyone has different learning speed and do your thing at your own pace.
3. OPTIONAL: Buy quest potions in the shop using credits. This is not required but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
4. Grind on the lower bronze with what you have and accumulate some DEC's to be able to rent some common and rare cards to help you scale for bronze 1.
- This might take sometime but not so much since renting some common cards will only amount to 0.10 DEC and it's not that difficult to win battles especially when you've read the FAQS and did your practice.
- Not all battles are "win able" you have to accept the fact that losing is part of the game since there are some people who are already renting even before they started to play. So if you lose don't dwell on it too much just keep on battling.
- Your grind in this rank is key to provide you enough DEC to rent for the cards that will help you in winning more battles in the bronze league.
- Once you've secured enough DEC go rent for optimal cards to help you in your battles.
Optimal cards in bronze league are NEUTRAL Cards coz this cards maybe used in any team composition especially you're still in bronze and not alot of rules are being applied in your battles.
5. Once you've rented enough cards go and grind for more DEC to add on your rentals this time you'll have to choose a specific team so you can first focus on that team while grinding in bronze.
- By this time you should have a basic understanding on how rent works and how to utilize it to the best for your own use.
6. Ranking up should be on your mind by now being in the bronze league for about 2-4 days should give you a good understanding of how rank battles work and how it should look like on higher leagues.
- Before proceeding on to silver league I hope by now your first target is to get some quest potions by converting your DEC to Hive and buying your potions to help you receive better rewards for your dailies.
7. Allot a certain amount of dec to be your budget in creating your team going to the silver rank.
- Try to start with 2 teams while ranking up then continue to add on the third team while accumulating DEC. 3 Teams is the best option "for me" to be able to win enough games in the silver league to and let you go to silver 1.
- Learn to read Summoner's level cap in every league. This will help you understand why cards have different levels and how it impacts the battles on your division. You'll see the leagues cap when you check on the leaderboards of each league on the upper right it should indicate some numbers and colors which represents the level and rarity of each summoner that is allowed on the league.
8. After learning all of these you probably have some thoughts on the higher ranks and yes they work exactly the same just higher level of cards and opponents with more collections than the ones you previously encounter. So if you're ready just go for it.
9. Above all "ENJOY THE GAME" not all play to earn games have incredible features like Splinterlands.
10. Never compare your progress to others even other games for that matter.
