How skilled a splinterlands player are you?

This post is not about a splinterlands monster or the game basics but it is all about being able to play wisely and attain the top position in the leaderboard on splinterlands.

When I joined to play way back in December, although my account had been created long back, I was not even sure what Melee meant. I remember asking my son to play and he explained the basics to me. I was so happy that I had played well enough to reach Silver III.

As time progressed, I realized that I would need more monsters to play better and that is where Panda, the all-rounder of monster-market helped me by delegating giants like the Kraken with whose help I could use the water splinter to reach gold level.

Fast forward and now my deck is really good but the question is - Am I a good player at all?

how skilled am I in playing splinterlands?

If players in the top used my deck, they would probably enable it to reach champ level.

I had considered leasing to the Team Share group but since I love playing, I decided not to do it and try and make myself more skilled and learn more tactics.

My question is - Have you ever considered quitting the game because you felt you were not good enough?

Do you consider yourself a good player?

I am not skillful gamer.
So, I dare not to invest in Game.
But, I want to play Game to get Cryptocurrencies.
Which game should I play?
Please.

I am not skilled player myself but Rules sometimes apply and different rules with different monsters. In a melee and range battle, I love using my Life or earth summoner cos earth has lots of range and life has both melee and range. So in an all rage battle earth is my best shot cos in this team i have the best card.

No, i never ever had this thought i will quit this game but someday perhaps just because of unending investment :P

Do you consider yourself a good player?

No, If I can't play novice then I don't think I am good enough

Pro tip: stop playing when you lose more than 3 battles. Rest, relax and then play. Because of losing you get frustrated and it causes more damage

Skillful not sure, but resourceful.

Surviving the game for last one year without even buying a card as such. (I guess, I have just handful of untamed) .

Not at all in pressure of losing investment. My deck is paid it's cost long back. so whatever I earn is gain, I do not think I will quit.

I guess keeping my deck at level 5 is one of the decision that really eased of investment pressure from me in the game and simultaneously allow me to enjoy the game.

you certainly are a strong willed person because you knew when to stop investing and were satisfied with what you have and had. Please do share a game tip also.

My very first tip on battle. (try to figure out your opponent team)

Place the cursor on opponent's last battles. you will see the team for last battle.

Since water summoner is available in battle and this user is using water summoner for last 5 battles, you already know the team beforehand that will be placed in game by your opponent. so just need to work on combo that can beat this team.

sorry for dropping late, @sayee.

Interesting questions 👍

Have you ever considered quitting the game because you felt you were not good enough?

Every single day, girl. 😂
I'm pretty competitive, and put up high standards for myself.
In whatever I do, I want to be the best.
When it comes to that, Splinterlands is a pretty heavy life lesson.

Every day again, I'm fighting the feeling of being a failure, just because I'm not as good as I want to be. (I know it's not really a logical thought, but it's how my brain is wired, lol)

With my deck, it shouldn't be that hard to reach the top spots on the leaderboard, yet I'm struggling every season just to make it into top 50.

I put too much pressure on myself, and I rage quit (because I think I suck) multiple times every day. But I always come back after I've reminded myself that it's a game and it should be about having fun, and you can't be an expert at everything that you do. 🤷‍♀

So you see, when I'm playing, I have more battles to fight than just the one on my screen 🤣


Do you consider yourself a good player?

See the answer above +

In general: no.
But, I do have my moments. Sometimes everything just works out, and when I'm in the flow, I can be good. If I'm in the right state of mind, and my brain works like I want it to, I can beat everyone. Too bad it only happens every once in a while 😂


A tip? The best tip I could give is the one @xawi already gave: stop playing before you get frustrated. Frustration is not a good state of mind to play - it will only cause you to lose even more.

Another one: play to have fun.
Sometimes I ask myself the question: would I still play this game if there would be no monetary rewards? I'm pretty sure I would - for the fun and the competition.
And for the adrenaline rush you get when everything works out and you beat someone in a great battle. What can I say, I'm an adrenaline junkie 😁

Wow, thanks Mike. For taking the time to write and for being so humble and the tip. I do not when to get up after losing so much and I end up dropping down, often.

For me it's 3 to 5 battles (depends on the day, lol)
But I guess it comes down to how fast you get frustrated 😉
