Hello everyone,
Here's some guide I follow to win and increase my rating.
I only started a month ago and just renting cards to rank up to Gold 3.
Hope this will be helpful. 💞
For any new players, the best initial investment into the game is to level up your summoners. It will pay itself forward as higher-level summoners will you to play higher level monster cards. Also, please take note of the summoner caps applied per league.

For example in the Bronze league, the summoner caps are:
Common Summon: level 3 cap e.g. Delwyn Dragonscale
Rare Summoner: level 2 cap e.g. Bortus
Epic Summoner: level 2 e.g. Daria Dragonscale
Legendary Summoner: level 1 e.g. Yodin Zaku
Levelling up your summoners does improve your chances in winning battles as you can play higher level monster cards. If you take Bortus, the Water Splinter Summoner, and you level it up to level 2.

A level 2 Bortus, allows you to play higher level monsters:
Common Monsters: level 3 e.g. Wave Runner
Rare Monsters: level 2 e.g. Ice Pixie
Epic Monsters: level 2 e.g. Mermaid Healer
Legendary Monsters: level 1 e.g. The Kraken
One of my favourite common level monster cards, Pirate Captain, at level 3, gets a +1 range damage and +1 speed which at Bronze league can be crucial.

Understand your playing stats
Another important tip is to understand your playing data. A recently released community tool, SplinterStats - Season Report Card, is a tool for looking at your playing data for the previous season.

It provides so much data to explore and use to analyse your playing data. Still, you can also run it against other players which is very useful as you can understand what the top players in your league are doing differently.

Utilise PeakMonsters Battlechain
The final tip for today's post is to utilise the PeakMonsters Battlechain and watching replays of similar battles to get an idea of what strategies other players are utilising for different rulesets and mana cap battles. Using a recent battle we can look for similar battles on PeakMonsters Battlechain.

To view the battle's replay, click on the magnifying glass and on the popup click the replay button to view the battle on Splinterlands site.

These Splinterlands tips will always be helpful, no matter when you started playing. What other suggestions will be useful to improve your win rate in Splinterlands?
