My first day in Splinterlands: The story of getting to Bronze II without knowing anything!

Hello Hive Community! Today I am going to share with you my very first day experience in the game Splinterlands. To be honest, I had no idea about this blockchain-based card game before. From what I have played today, it does not mean that I have understood all the rules of the game. However, the game seems to be quite fun, and I hope that I will gradually master its strategies as I play.

My journey in the game began with email verification. Then, when I went to the game lobby and did the Daily Spin for the first time, I luckily got 500 Sparks from there! As a new player, it was quite nice to get such a reward at the beginning. Then the real game began - the battle! At first, I really could not understand anything. What is Mana, what is Summoner, which card to put in front or back - everything was going over my head. Naturally, I had to lose several matches in the beginning.

​But I started to learn as I lost. While playing the game, I realized that it was an auto-battler, so the position of the cards was the real deal. In a 44 mana match, I realized that cards with high health and shields should be placed at the very front or frontline, and magic or ranged cards should be placed in the back row so that they could attack from safety.

​After implementing this basic strategy, I finally started winning. I started completing the daily missions of the game one by one. The most exciting thing was that on the first day, I played well and got promoted from 'Bronze 3' to 'Frontier Bronze II' rank! When the big "UNLOCKED" text appeared on the screen, it felt really great.

​After unlocking Bronze 2, I got the opportunity to open 5 loot chests. Before opening the chests, the game asked me to use an alchemy potion, which increased the chances of getting good cards. I got some great things as rewards. Notable among them are two great cards like Colossus Raider and Sturdy Axe Warden, 1 Energy and 1 Alchemy Potion Charge.

All in all, my first day's achievements are not bad! I haven't fully mastered the card layout techniques of the game yet, but I'm hopeful that I'll be able to become a good player very soon. I have a request to the experienced Splinterlands players in the Hive community, if you have any tips or advice for me as a newbie, please let me know in the comments. Thanks everyone, see you on the battlefield!
