Splinterlands Tier List - Opportunity Monsters || Ep. #64 || Splinterlands
In Splinterlands, there's an absurd number of monster cards to choose from. For players who are jumping in for the first time, this makes it very overwhelming. It's hard to know, even if you've been playing for a while, which monster cards are fantastic, and which ones could hold you back. That's why you need to consult a tier list of splinterlands, so you can see whether it might be worth changing your plan or not.
Data Source(s)
This is a personal tier list based on the data from these two sources:
- Usage/win rate of monsters and summoners for each league | Season 53
- SplinterStats - Cards by League Cap
It took a while to work through the data and verify as I only include data from the league/level that the monsters unlock the opportunity ability.
| Monsters | Usage% | W | L | Win rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiendish Harpy | 1.45% | 523 | 391 | 57.22% |
| Screeching Vulture | 5.55% | 1888 | 1471 | 56.21% |
| Battering Ram | 1.62% | 819 | 694 | 54.13% |
| Dragon Jumper | 1.88% | 1032 | 879 | 54.00% |
| Serpentine Spy | 6.64% | 2063 | 1842 | 52.83% |
| Maggots | 0.65% | 340 | 348 | 49.42% |
| Cave Slugs | 1.05% | 340 | 393 | 46.38% |
| Feasting Seaweed | 0.95% | 363 | 424 | 46.12% |
| Parasitic Growth | 2.59% | 936 | 1111 | 45.73% |
Splinterlands Opportunity Monsters Tier List
This is my splinterlands Monsters with opportunity ability tier list. There are no real definitive lists in existence. This is because of the ebb and flow that happens due to rulesets, and also how an individual player can perform on any given day can affect things too much. Nonetheless, here is my splinterlands opportunity ability tier list based on each monster's recent win rates.
TIER S
The best of the best. If you want to spend your time studying them well, you will be sure that you will find a lot of success. Also don't be too surprised when someone else plays them as well, for a reason, after all, they're top tier.
- Screeching Vulture
- Fiendish Harpy
TIER A
These monsters are very similar to the top tier, but the stats do not assist them. That said, if you're very good at one of them already, then it's probably worth it to stick with them.
- Dragon Jumper
- Battering Ram
TIER B
It is probably also worth sticking with these splinterlands monsters. Such monsters are still fine, but the winning percentages do not fit those higher up the list.
- Serpentine Spy
TIER C
While each of them is a fine choice, it isn't easy to justify them over others on the list. If you love the look, stick to them by all means. If you want those extra little edges, don't choose them.
- Maggots
TIER D
Alas, these monsters just don't cut the mustard on our splinterlands opportunity tier list. In the shed, they're not the sharpest tools, but they do mean well.
- Cave Slug
- Feasting Seaweed
- Parasitic Growth
Summary
This was a fun and time-consuming exercise to go through. I was surprised by the results. I have previously blogged about the Screeching Vulture being a cheap OP card, and it was great to see it rank so highly in terms of win-rate ratio.

Interesting to read this. As i played Silver until this week, i have never seen the Harpy until now, imagine that.
Extremely pricy card as well. Fiendish Harpy unlocks opportunity at level 4 and therefore you won't see it being played much in Silver leagues as the max level you can play Fiendish Harpy is level 3.

Two things from me today:
Where is the Feasting Seaweed? :)
Actually, I have pretty good experiences with having two opportunity monsters with scavenger (e.g., screeching vulture + parasitic growth) hidden towards the back. It's in these cases that parasitic growth can pay off well, but only at the highest card levels.
Hope these comments are helpful!
You’ve done nice there.
Keep it up.
