What is Splinterlands?

Splinterlands is a card game combining elements from Hearthstone and Auto Chess, where you can play battle against other players. The cards are NFTs and have real value and they are based on the Hive blockchain. The in-game currency is called DEC (Dark Energy Crystals), which is earned by winning ranked battles and tournaments and it is also a cryptocurrency with the value of approximately $0.013. Right now, there is also an airdrop happening and it lasts for the whole year, we are currently on airdrop day 85 / 365. The airdropped coin is SPS (Splintershards), the governance token of Splinterlands and the amount dropped is pretty good and it can be increased by just playing the game casually or by owning items such as cards, DEC, card packs, land plots, card skins, titles. You can also maximize your revenue by taking your SPS with an APR of 61% or by renting out your cards. Right now, there is a pre-sale event, during which you can buy card packs from the latest expansion, with a limit based on your staked SPS tokens (Approximately 1 voucher for every 4000 SPS stacked). There is also a discount if you buy packs using the SPS token and by buying more than 100 during a single transaction and if you buy at least 100 packs, you also receive a title. For each 50 packs you buy during the pre-sale, there is a guaranteed limited edition card and if you buy a total of 1000 packs, there is a guaranteed gold foil limited edition card.

This week, there is a dragon challenge, so I picked the following summoner (hero), which has the ability to give all friendly Monsters +1 Armor:



My summoner was able to command the below army with the following abilities:

Living Lava - Shield (reduced damage from Melee and Ranged attacks)
Magma Troll - Reach (may attack from the second position on the team)
Goblin Shaman - Weaken (reduces the Health of all enemy Monsters)
Serpentine Spy - Opportunity (may attack from any position and will target the enemy Monster with the lowest health)
Naga Assassin

My opponent picked the following summoner (hero), which has the ability to give all friendly Melee Attack Monsters +1 Melee Attack:



His summoner was able to command the below army with the following abilities:

Living Lava - Shield (reduced damage from Melee and Ranged attacks)
Cerberus - Heal (restores a portion of the Monster's health each round)
Serpentine Spy - Opportunity (may attack from any position and will target the enemy Monster with the lowest health)
Goblin Shaman - Weaken (reduces the Health of all enemy Monsters)
Fire Beetle - Sniper (targets enemy Monsters with Ranged, Magic, or no attack that are not in the first position)

The battle did not start well for my side with my naga assassins attacking the living lavas without being able to penetrate their though armor and then, to make matters worse, the enemy's backline, the fire beetles, took their shot and broke my goblin shamans' armor. My magma trolls reacted and attempted to pierce the enemy living lavas' armor, again, with no success. The battle was looking grim for my summoner, however, my serpentine spies saw an opportunity and killed the enemy serpentines and the tide of the battle was turning. The enemy goblin shamans also fell to our serpentine spies' attack and our spirit was no longer weakened due to their foul magic. With a combined attack from our living lavas and the serpentines, their frontline were destroyed and their second line of defense, the Cerberus creatures, were also decimated. Finally, their backline, the fire beetles scattered and the battle was won by our Dragon Summoner, Drake of Arnak.

Thus ended one of the most intense battles that our hero, Drake of Arnak, has ever fought.

Warm Regards,
Gatom
