Splinterlands (EOS): Why Summoners Are The Real Deal
It's the end of another splinterlands season and I spent the whole day trying to claim my season's reward. It was probably an issue with the system.
Starting with the rewards, it was a bit underwhelming and this time around it was difficult to get a pack as well. I also didn't get any summoner which was supposed to be the highlight of the game.
Summoners are valuable, whether they're soulbound or not. It's been difficult to get all of my soulbound summoners to level 3 and above and this is because, for the past four weeks, I've hardly gotten that much. I think about four pieces of one life summoner in 4 weeks and that was all.
Although, I've been getting some decent cards in some specific areas, however, it's been a long time since I also got a legendary.
It's been over 6 weeks since I got a legendary and some of the legendaries I got previously, I've been trying really hard to level up some of the legendaries I've got to at least level two or more, but it's been difficult.
For example, my KULU has been in level one for almost 3 months, my DRYBONE RAIDER has been the same as well, and I've got another legendary fire card, that's caught up in level one for almost four months. They all require one card each to get them to level two.
The main concern is that I only have two soulbound summoners that are in level 3, the rest are needing about one or two copies to put them in level 3. On the contrary, some of my soulbound cards are already nearing level 6, I did a collage of some of my cards in level 4 and 5.
Without having level 3 to 4 summoners, it'll be difficult to play some of these cards. Although my aim over the months has been to upgrade some of my summoners to level 4,
but the bear market and the resources to do that haven't been available, that's why I'm trying to build some decent soulbound summoners to at least play some cards that are constantly growing in level.

It wasn't an easy season for me. I Only made significant progress, 3 days to the end of the season. I was caught up in Silver 2 for eleven days of the season. This is mostly because it's difficult to get into a winning streak without experiencing a losing streak as well.
The winning streak sometimes matches the losing streak, and this is probably because more bots are being played. Some players run their main account by themselves while using the bots to run their other accounts, it's a way to probably increase their earnings.
I won't talk about the bot's dominance anymore, I'm hoping something can happen, and they get them off the modern format for good.
One good thing about the season was that I finished in gold 2, which means I'm starting my new season in silver one. This will help me in accumulating more chests for the end of the season.
I think the season gets easier 3 days to the end of the season, it's mostly rough for 10 to 11 days. Over time, the worth of my Splinterlands assets have dipped in price. In the past 3 months, I've noticed about a 42% drop in my asset price and it's not been really encouraging.
Splinterlands took a lot of beating in this bear market. But I think it's something common with play2earn games, sometimes, the economy takes a downward slide and everything dips.
However, I'm in for the long haul and will only probably take some decent profit in 2025, God willing.
But I'm still hoping to buy some perspective cards maybe next year. I've been buying gladiator packs as well, so far, there's been nothing exciting, except the Katrelba and Quora Towershead, I haven't gotten any legendary in close to 3 months, but, I'm hoping my luck would shine soon enough,
SPS wise, the Guild I'm in didn't really hit it, throughout last season, but I'm hoping we can do better this season and earn some decent SPS this season. Good luck with the new season.

Congrats on getting to GoldII. It has been a lot less packs this season, I managed to get only 1 compared to 4 last time. I too am looking forward to modern becoming bot free, my win ration is around 50% which is pretty tough going when you see some of the lineups played by bots that you would never think of.
I got only one the last time. I think they made the pack rarer this season which explains it. I can battle in silver one from this season which seems a bit better for me. I think the bots are becoming way more intelligent these days, some of these lineups are so outrageously good, you won't even imagine that a human being would play it, it's so crazy.

It was a rough season as always and the cards we badly want so we can upgrade them rarely come as we wish. By the looks it might take forever to max out the cards we want especially the legendary or summoners.
It might take forever like you've pointed out. I've started the season on another crazy losing streak, so more losing streak, less chest reward, which means less soulbound assets to boost my deck. The bots are on rampage.
A Gold Riverboat Captain... very nice! Makes the water splinter very powerful with all the explosion going around.
Yeah, but my summoners still can't play it at level 4, except the Possibilius the wise. It's crazy, the card packs 1000 collection Power.

Progress is never easy and I guess that is why it was not easy for you but I'm glad that you succeeded
Nice pull and congrats on EOS! I agree that summoners are the most important - and also the hardest to level up. It's been a struggle getting mine to a respectable level but I just checked out your deck and it looks like its coming along well!

Nice job with your rewards. My rewards were kind of bad. The fights have been getting harder recently, and the bots are getting tougher. I think a decent portion of the ones that weren't so great ended up stopping because I heard the rental income has dropped. In a way, I wonder if this will change when the CP to SPS changes happen.
There’s always this saying in my head whenever I’m working on anything, “believe in the process” it’s hard but just believe until I finish the work and it always turn out awesome
