Literally Slaughtered by Challenges and Strong Players Last Night

avatar

I can't watch this...

Last night was literally one of the bloodiest battles from my side. Even with total mana of 20 I kept encountering gold Dragon summoners.

Maybe those are gold league dropped down to Silver league and they are trying to catch up; and I am unfortunately their body count along the way... sigh.

As @slobberchops has replied to me last night on my last post he did mention the moment you are on Silver league you got to have your summoners upgraded. Even @streetstyle mentioned that upgrade was necessary.

But this month is December; it is not only just a Season Greetings Gift Giving December, it was also hospital-visiting, MRI scanning, car fixing and mortgage bills paying month too. And all I have left for fiat in USD was the $8 I used to obtain the untamed starter pack before it was launched.

So I left with literally only about 13 STEEM in my wallet and a bunch of DEC I won.

Yet... upgrades I believe are necessary... so what have I decided?

I dug deep in my steemit wallet and steem-engine tokens, and I managed to get one from @peakmonsters in DEC and one from cheap-monters discord. Here I am, rolling up my sleeves and getting a dragon summoner that I previously blessed by @steemdan and hopefully it will come in handy.

Having a little DEC left in my Splinterland wallet, it's rather sad that I am unable to acquire anything else because the cards I commonly use are way too expensive for me now.

Anyways

I do hope that it is going to come useful when there is a need to use level 2 cards in a really tight situation excluding the Fire cards (which I already have Prye upgraded to level 2 previously)

Will I be able to survive the next quest with less casualty? Only time and hopefully at the right place, right time will help; but this time, I can't power up my post anymore because I need some STEEM to help me for my future games, haha!


If you liked my journey so far and would like to give a hand (or two), feel free to drop a thumbs up as an encouragement!

Just after EOS everyone has been knocked back so you will be duelling stronger players until they move up ranks a bit.

Daria has been rising in price, used to be just $0.45 each, now they are almost $1. With the rise of the Dragon Splinter in Untamed and the new DQ's, Dragons is now more popular.

But then again unless the player has a free hand (which means no natural cards must be used) dragon summoners can't complete DQ unless they are battling for DECs and ranking before they have a fat juicy reward at a leveled up DQ, or die trying.

Thanks. But remember don't borrow content and post. That's where you get flagged / downvoted.

And that is why your reputation so bad.

You can try delegated Dec or certain card from rent market.... It's a good option....

Lots of the dragon players are bots unfortunately. If you’re playing and lose to someone and they only make minimal dec, like 1 or 2, then it’s a bot. Don’t know why there’s so many bots but it’s really annoying.

Two most common bots are dragon and life players.

Have you joined a guild? Joining a guild helps your dec slowly, try joining one.

Hm so far I didn't notice their wins; but a lot of them they earned a lot of rep because I lost a lot of rep.

Didn't even realise that there's a bot playing???

Yes I just managed to get approved by peak monster All-4 guild. I had to buy some cards to get in.

Ya unfortunately there are quite a few bots playing. I don’t see the point but it’s the unfortunate reality.

Guilds improve DEC rates with the higher level of the guild hall which is nice.

Hm... about the Guild... how do we know we have improved DEC earnings?

The bots thing I think it is more of whacking the opponents from the higher league?
