Helliiaawww
what's up Splinter Player around the world how are you doing?
Now i am write about 2 things in this content. First of all i want to share what i am owned and what i get in almost one season especially in this season half of it turn to be energy based fighting not ECR based. And what i am experienced i am prefered energy based because the count of the battle is so simple with 1 energy for 1 battle. So i can arrange how much i want to battle and how much i want to get the daily chest reward. And the benefit is there is always get maximum prize of SPS and FP (Focus Point).Before discussing the battle like usual i want to sharing what NFT i am owned. Basically i have 3 almost maximum Silver league element and 1 that not too complete. And with this NFT card i want to share what i get in almost one season and what do you think if investing in NFT cards in Splinterland is profit or not
and starting from Legendary owned NFT
Legendary Earth
here i just have 3 Earth Legendary NFT that is level 2 Djinn Biljka,level 2 Queen Mycelia,and level 1 Fungus Fiend
Legendary Water
Legendary water element that i have is level 3 Djinn Oshannus,level 2 River Hellondale,level 1 Torrent Fiend, and level 1 Baakjira
Legendary Death
In Death Element i have more Legendary NFT card than the others that is the Gladius card Level 1 Xulac Nightwing, level 2 Harklaw, level 2 Lira the Darkness, level 1 Skuk Duskblight, and the last level 1 summoner Astral Entity.
Legendary Life
the last i want to build and still on pending to building Life element because in my plan i want to upgrade earth element until level 5 first than building life element. thats why i am just having 2 legendary life element cards that is level 1 Jared the Scar and level 1 Grandmaster Rathe
And for epic until common units from every element i will just share the picture and discuss a little about the reason i am choosing the monster.
Epic Earth
In Epic earth element the strongest monster in Gladius edition is Quora Towershed and the rest that i am most used is Grund thats why i am maximize the level until level 3 the maxed silver league.
Epic Water
in water element i am just have level 1 Axemaster that very helpfull sometimes but this card is very expensive so i cannot maximize the level yet. From my opinion 3 monster that should have in epic water is still Nerissa Tridawn, Wave Brood, and the last is Tide Bitter. Tide Bitter is reward edition card so if you are playing long time ago you should have this card. and if dont have this card is still cheap but very crutial in low mana battle.
Epic Death
In Death element the must have is Magi Necrosi because the ability is very usefull with snipe and camuflage ability so it will attackin non melee monster first second is Revealler this is also from reward edition so it is cheaper than the other and from now there is reward Soulbound cards and now i am have Will O Wisp from soulbound rewards card.
Epic Life
In life element i am just have Djinn Rennova from reward edition, Prismologist from Chaos Legion edition and Riftwatcher summoner edition Ilthain but it is still raw and level 1 and very rarely used for the battle.
thats what i have in Epic rarity now lets go to Rare rarity
Rare Earth
For Rare Rarity in Earth there are 3 most monster that i am using that is Mycelic Slipspawn, Regal Peryton, and the tanker Mycelic Infantry. these 3 that i am use is because very suitable and linked with Obsidian summoner. and the rest yeah still get used but is very occasional. but rare rarity is somehow cheaper than epic and legendary so as much as possible i maxed the level as the summoner. for example Obsidian level 4 than the rare monster same level 4 like that.
Rare Water
In water element there is a little card for rare rarity. I am usually using Kelya Frendul as summoner maybe Kelya is the strongest among all Chaos Legion Edition rare rarity thats why i am choosing water element as based my deck. than the key in rare rarity is Diemonshark, following with Angelic Mandarin and the last is Merdaali Guardian. Venari Crystalsmith used in just some case like if the ruleset Earthquake or need using Protect ability.
Rare Death
For Death army i am recommended to buying Cursed Windeku because this monster is strong for tanker if you are farming in Silver and gold league. The other is buying Cabalyst from Riftwatcher edition that can combined with Cursed Windeku than Venari Bonesmith and Life Sapper that duo lifesteal then the range monster Dhampir Stalker and Soul Strangler and the summoner is reccomended Thadius Brood
Rare Life
In Rare Life rarity the most usefull one is combination of the new soulbound rewards summoner that is Franz Ruffmane and with Captain Katie this duet is still the best. and you need to adding some card like Time Mage and Pelacor Arbalest for strengthen you life deck but yeah i am still not have DEC to upgrade Life element maybe after the other 3 element upgrade than life element can be the next.
Okay for the common this is the most cheap and most used card. lets take a look
Common Earth
Okay in earth element the mostly i am used is Pelacor Mercenary as the subtitute tank and if the Obsidian as summoner goes to level 5 Pelacor Mercenary have good additional Ability that tank heal. after that Hill Giant for the low mana tanker after that you need to have Goblin Psychic for the healer, not only heal this monster have affliction and silence ability for the higher level. And the rest is sometimes usefull in battle but the 3 monster that need to have from my opinion.
Common Water
For water element the most crutial is Pelacor Bandit, Cruel Sethropod,Flying Squid,Deeplurker,Merdhampir,Swamp Spitter. based on my experience this is the monster that i am using most. and maybe adding Demented Shark as the buff support is not bad either.
Common Death
Common death that very important for me is Silent Sha-vi, Riftwing,Shadow Snitch or Arachne Thing and Night Ghoul as taunt tanker. the rest is sometimes important as filler or in certain ruleset that can be used for example like Ever-Hungry Skull in Equalizer ruleset that can be super strong with flying ability and if the summoner Thaddius Brood level 5 this monster got additional Thorns ability.yeah something like that the other is important too but in certain ruleset and not always be used.
Common Life
Because usually i am using Franz as summoner so i am using Drybone Barbarian as a tanker or Imperial Knight as a tanker but if i am using Rathe usually i am using Pelacor Conjurer as a tanker. an the rest that very crutial is Stitch Leech and Blinding Reflector
that is my card overall i am farming with this card and got around 100-150 sps in every season but it depends on win rate in one season. But the average is my Win rate in 60% up so i got 100 sps minimum.
this is what i got 2 days before end of season. But here the hack for the Season Chest. I can farming until the rating goes to Diamond 3 rating so in every last hours of End of Season i am advance to Diamond League so every season i got Diamond Chest
and until right now i got 40 Diamond Seasonal Chest and my rating is 2828 right now it will goes down and last in +- 2800 rating and usually i got Daily Gold Chest around 7-10 chest that depends on the win rate.
that is the total value from all my cards combined around 800$ capital for the cards. and got around take average 120 sps that is around 3.6$ every 2 weeks. that needs around 250 days to make turnover. that is the rough calculation, not included got packs and if inside the pack got Gold Foil Legendary and something like that or you can get staking reward everyday if got calculated very deep maybe need 180 days to make turnovers in my opinion.So,what do you think guys?
while you think of that lets go to the battle right like usual
Before we discussing in battlephase that good to know about the card that can help in some situation. In this situation the ruleset is Super Sneak therefore in this battle the main actor is Cursed Windeku combined with Lifesteal monster Venari Bonesmith and Life Sapper.
For Cursed Windeku i am used in level 4 because my Thaddius Brood still on level 4 so lets see the level 4 status. this monster have Thorns ability and have 3 melee damage and 11 HP and 3 speed which is very tanky for the battle in death army.
okay these 2 is the duo Magic that have Life Steal ability that very crutial in battle that need calculate the Venari Bonesmith is important because not only Life steal ability but the Poison ability is very usefull too (even if you are encountered bot the poison did not show up usually).
In this battle this 3 monster it very crutial and can make the battle exciting.
Lets go to my strategy in Strategy Phase
Strategy Phase
In this battle the ruleset is Super Sneak and Aim True the super sneak means all monster have sneak ability and the aim true means all monster always hit the target. The manacap is 23 which is very hard to choose the monster almost using the low mana monster and the element that can be used is water,earth,and death element. usually i am using water element because water element that support with Kelya ability adding 1 speed and armor is more beneficial than the other but i am thinking if the opponent using earth element and based with magic monster combined with Obsidian i will be lost if using Kelya so i am decided to pick Thaddius Brood from death element that can debuff 1 magic damage and 1 HP. And this is my strategy towards it in the table below
| Monster | Position | Ability | Reason | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Summoner | -1 Magic & HP | As i explained before i choosing this monster to balancing if the opponent pick magic monster combined with Obsidian becase magic monster is very hard to beat if the tanker gone missing in the first round. So to prevent the magic monster i am using this summoners.and if the opponent using Water element i can placing some stronger monster in backline as tanker because the ruleset is supporting to attacking backline. | |
 | Tanker | Shield | I am using this monster as tanker even the HP is very low but this monster have Shield ability that can reduce the melee damage that come from the opponent and this monster used just 3 manacap that is very low manacap monster so this monster is suitable to handle the frontline but i am hoping the opponent dont bring magic monster so this monster can long lasting | |
 | Attacker Tanker | Poison & Life Steal | I am placing this monster because this monster can act as attacker and as a tanker but it need some time to be a tanker by adding HP from lifesteal ability. the attacker goes to poison ability that can inflict 2 HP in every turn. | |
 | Attacker Tanker | Life Steal | I am bringing this monster because this monster have 2 magic attack and need 3 manacap that is very low for using in the battle. and with Life Steal ability this monster can act as a tanker too same like Venari Bonesmith but this monster can inflict more damage but cannot make poison. but i am hoping the opponent still bring some melee monster so this monster still have time to steal some HP from the opponent. | |
 | Support | Triage | I am bringing this monster to support the backliner at least the backliner monster not die so fast. with triage ability it can prolong the backliner monster to defend and make the duo life stealer got much HP before got attacked. | |
 | Backliner Tanker | Thorns | I am bringing this monster as a backline tanker because this monster have high HP and have thorns ability so if the opponent maximize melee monster to suitable in Super Sneak ruleset so this monster is very usefull for the attack and as a tanker that give 2 return damage from thorns ability. |
So this is the line up of my arrangement in this ruleset. Hoping the battle go well as expected. Lets go to the battlefield aye.
Battlephase
okay in this battle i am encountered with Kelya Frendull same level max silver league in Modern Gold League format.
Let's Rumble
Round 1
As usual in round 1 all monster got buff and debuff from both summoners and monsters. in this battle opponent got debuff -1 magic and HP and got buffed 1 armor and speed. After that because the opponent using Kelya as summoners definitely attacking first and with Super Sneak ruleset of course all the opponent monster attacking my backline that i am prepared with placing Cursed Windeku in the backline and the opponent got thorns damage for attacking Cursed Windeku except opponent Tide bitter.so in this round both backliner party still alive. Cursed Windeku with remaining 6 HP , Opponent Cruel Sethropod with remaining 4 HP and opponent Xenith Monk remaining 2 HP and my Crypt Beetle remaining 3 HP. and my duo Life stealer Venari Bonesmith with 5 HP and Life Sapper with 3 HP.
Round 2
Goes to round 2 in this round my Cursed Windeku fainted by the attack from Uraeus and make both fainted but all opponent melee monster got thorns damage after the shield have gone from round 1 except opponent tide bitter because it have Reflection Shield ability so that make immune to Thorns ability. and my duo Life stealer can beat opponent Xenith Monk. what make me safe in this battle is because the front attacker is just 1 damage from melee and range so my Crypt beetle is safe from any attack because of shield ability.
Round 3
In round 3 the chance of winning began to appear my Life sapper succeed to beat Tide bitter and my Spirit Hoarder got beaten by Cruel Sethropod and in the end who is faster beating from the back or the front with magic damage. from my opinion the magic damage seems superior than melee damage. and somehow Life Steal ability seems helping making Life Sapper and Venari Bonesmith to be a tanker.
Round 4
Seems Round 4 finally make my winning chance got bigger after opponent Pelacor Bandit beaten it will be easier to deal with just Cruel Setrhopod. it is just waiting opponent Angelic Mandarin beaten so my winning got locked. with 2 more rounds i will win this battle (need just 1 additional rounds if my Venari Bonesmith poison got active).
Round 5 & 6 (Final Round)
Okay this for very last round of course that Angelic Mandarin very easy to beaten by the combination magic damage and melee damage from Crypt Beetle and no need so much time Cruel Sethropod got beaten also. and with that i can winning this battle.

The Horrors Cursed Windeku Thorns
Conclution
Okay the conclution from investment aspect. Based on my experienced with the compounding staked SPS rewards and from curation from Social Media Challenge and Battle Mage Challenge and with farming everyday every season until at least 180 days ii think this game worthy to try the shoot. Besides of that, this game is very addicting and fun especially if you banned bot from this game that will adding more competitive. but maybe it is too hard for the dev not using bot anymore,the game will take long time to get the enemy encountered because the real human player is very very depleted. But overall if you asking me i recommended to buy and building battle deck to farming in at least gold league to get minimum 100 sps every season.
For the battle from my opinion Cursed Windeku is very strong Tanker with Thorns ability that can make the opponent hard to beat with clean hand except the opponent using Reflection Shield monster so thorns is useless. but in melee battle Cursed Windeku still have great advantage. the duo Life Stealer is another key in this battle Venari Bonesmith have poison in Level 4 so it can inflict more damage every round if the opponent got poisoned (usually the poison appear if the opponent got last hit especially if encountered with bot) and the other monster is Life Sapper with have 2 magic damage in level 4 that is very good to inflict more damage even the manacap is just 3 that is very low manacap to be used.Don't forget to adding monster that have Triage ability so the backliner tanker get healed every turn so the tanker can longlasting in the battle.and dividing type to magic attack in Super Sneak ruleset maybe the best choice and can make you win the battle.
