Silver 1

I was able to advance from Novice 200 to 2251 this season. I was so busy with work and investing in DeFi, I didn’t play for a few seasons, and the games subtracts 300 points each season, so it wasn’t long before I lost 2100 points and was reduced to Novice rank.

Novice Rank

This is the beginners rank, and I thought I would advance rapidly back to silver. But I found the paradox of low mana games, lots of disabling rules and the inability to use my Monsters at their highest potential, as using high ranked cards and high level abilities is restricted.

Learning Experience

It was quite the learning experience to get back to basics, and I rented out a fair amount of my legendary and gold monsters to get my collection power down. Then things started looking up.

Grinding

All video games are fun, exciting and challenging we hope, but one thing they all have is what gamers call the grind. You have to play lots of matches at 20 points per win and 20 points per loss to get back to 2000 points. Then your rewards are better, bigger and you can use your higher level cards to their full potential.

Bigger, better and more numerous awards

As you rise in rank from Novice to Bronze 3, Bronze 2 and Bronze one your rewards get bigger, better and more numerous: 2chests, then 3 chests then 4 chests!

  • More Dec rewards
  • More free cards
  • More free potions
  • Thank God, no more credits!

Final Battle

This battle was my last win of the day at Silver level 1, as today was the grind from Bronze one to Silver one.

  • I was blessed with a quite large Monster point limit 54, which allowed me to use my largest and most powerful monsters and summoner.
  • I chose a Fire Team and Summoner Yodin Zaku who gives every monsters attack blast damage.
  • This gives you damage equal to the primary attack on the primary target, plus damage to the monsters to the left and right of the primary target.

My team:

5 lathe mana monsters with 3 Elle, 3 magic, 4 magic and 3 range attack.

My opponent

2 melee, 2 magic times 4

Result

My opponent had one taunt monster in 2nd position. This meant all my monsters attacked him, plus inflicting blast damage on his monsters in positions 1 and 3, so once the taunt monster was dead, the monsters in positions 1 and 3 quickly followed and it was soon six monsters to three. I lost one monster and my remaining 5 defeated his remaining 3 in short order.

Hurray a satisfying last battle.

It’s fun to end the day on a win and learn these take aways :

  • Taunt monster in the middle, good move unless opponent summoner has blast, then monsters on each side of taunt monster get hit six times a round.
  • And high life, high magic monsters are particularly lethal because magic bypasses armor, and blast strips armor opening up the monsters to ranged attacks.
May the force be with you in your battles, and luck be on your side.

:)

It can be one hell of a mission getting out of Bronze leagues I notice that when helping a from that isn't good at playing the game.

Well done, with Zaku your win rates should be quite good I suppose.

Thanks!
It was an arduous journey for sure, but everything worthwhile is hard!
Zaku is very valuable, blast from a single monster is dangerous, but when all six monsters have it, it’s Amazing!

It is hell of a challenge playing in novice league. I think the novice league is getting more challenging everyday because we have more people there, and to survive gets a bit difficult. I'm happy you got back to silver leagues

Thanks!
I must admit playing with high collection power in Bronze seemed more difficult then silver so far. But I will know more in time.

Congratulations on moving up. The game hasn't been that easy lately and it's a struggle to fight it out. However, I don't think the silver climb should be that hard if you are using Yodin. I find that mixing in Molten Ash Golem works well as a secondary tank and it has decently high health.

Thanks for the congratulations and for the tip. I will try using Molten Ash Golem!
I am also happy to hear I am not the only one having a challenging time playing Bronze!

Well, I am not in bronze but I do think Molten Ash Golem goes quite well with Yodin Zaku. The extra health, blast ability, and close-range ability will give your ranged attackers more time to attack.

You should have access to it because it's a rare chaos legion card. So it should be part of the starter pack and everyone should have a level 1 version of the card to use right now.

I like CALADUUM, a powerful magic defense tank.
Have a great day.
