Hello, Hive family and Splinterlands community! This is my first post here. As a new player learning the methods has been challenging but it was fun indeed. I have been learning through the gameplay posts of other people in the community and it was quite handful. Today, I am super excited to share my gameplay and I am happy to announce that I reached Bronze II!

I began with frontier ranked match and I have played a few matches before but I was not satisfied with it, I was waiting for a big mana battle. In the end I had found one and it was 47. It was not very much high, I can understand that but I was very excited for it. Because when it's small mana, I find it difficult to choose my units. To be honest, every battle feels like a puzzle when you are new. I was was battling against a player who's user name is Chagguck.

Since I am exploring the game, I wanted to build a lineup of my own and for that reason. I have chosen my summoner Incessant Sage (Avian) and it will provide +1 armor to all of my units. After that one by one I picked my units to build a strong lineup. I went with an awesome mix of units.

For first I have chosen black haired woman, her name is Twice Yester Night, she's a human. She has 3 shields, 4 lives and she's an attacker. I have kept her in the front because she seemed strong.

For second position I have chosen a man who looks like lion. His name is Sherringham Logger, he's a feliform. He has one shield, 4 lives and he's also an attacker.

For third position I have chosen a man wearing a white bear suit, his name is Great Bear Druid, he's a human. He doesn't have any shields but I choose him for the extra lives he has which is 6, and he also attacks.

For fourth position I have chosen a a man who looks like an warrior, his name is Vengeful Monk, he's also a human. The reason I picked him was because he looked very powerful to me. He has 4 lives and he attacks.

For fifth position I have chosen an unicorn who's name is Paprikash, and it's a Fey. Has one shield and 3 lives, it can also attack for that reason I took this in.

For the sixth position I have chosen a cat woman, maybe that's how she looks like but I could be wrong. Her name is Codex Sage, she's a Rodentian. She has 2 shields and one life.

These are my units and when I started the battle I was shocked to see my enemy had brought fierce units. But my strategy worked perfectly and it was an intense match that lasted 8 full rounds, and in the end I had secured a +40 ratings. That helped me to level up from Bronze III to Bronze II. Winning against a tough enemy feels amazing when you're still figuring out the best card combinations.

This is my full gameplay 👈🏾

Beside participating in battles I have got daily rewards. Before the match I did my daily spins and I have got good amount of sparks. On first spin I managed to get +500 Sparks along with +1 Free Spin and in second spin added another +50 Sparks, I don't know what are these used for so, I will be saving these up for now.
