  • All airdrops were determined to be Legendaries
    • Next two are already designed and can be seen in Eye Candy
    • Then there will be the six Legendary designed summoners
    • Legendaries are the hardest rarity to get so it is more of a reward for those who buy packs and receive these airdrops

  • Totems will be able to mined/harvested from land
    • Overall totems will be scarce and limited

    • WeirdBeard is going to enhance these in a huge way!
  • If you want to leave feedback for how Tournaments are created and planned, throw it in the #tournament-planning Discord channel

  • Splinterlands is going to be building upon their brand recognition to help go mainstream

Skins:

    Nice job on the summary - people are missing the great vibe of the team if they don't watch these sessions. I always feel blessed the team is always striving to be ultra professional and the excitement within the group is notable. Great things are about to happen in The Splinterverse.

    Well said Draygyn! It feels weird seeing a handful of people talk in the townhalls these days, compared to just a few months ago where it used to be only Aggroed and Matt mainly!
