I recently discovered a very useful feature in Splinterlands and decided to share it with you.
Many of you probably already know it, but for those who don't, come and discover Practice mode.
In my posts, I like to talk about Arcade Colony because it's an incredible platform that introduced me to Moon Karts and StakeHouse Den, so maybe it will also draw your attention to these games.
Arcade Colony
Arcade Colony is a web-based platform where mainstream games can deploy Web3 features. Newly created games, as well as previously released games, can now add tokens, digital collectibles, trading, renting, earning, and governance to their games. Thus, Arcade Colony hosts a series of published games similar to the Epic Gamestore, Apple App Store, Google Playstore, or Steam, but unlike Web2 publishers, Arcade Colony augments new and existing games with Web3 games.
For more information about the platform, read the Whitepapper.
I've already written several posts about Arcade Colony and its games, so I'll leave links to some posts that might be useful to you.

Practice
As I mentioned at the beginning, Practice mode is the focus of this post, so let's talk about how it will be useful to you in Splinterlands.
To get started, you need to find Practice mode in Splinterlands. To do so, simply go to Play and click Practice.
This page is where it all begins, and I have no doubt you won't regret checking out this mode because it will help you improve your performance in battle.
The Waur Medge Academy provides a safe and supervised environment for learning the fundamentals of enchanted battle cards. Their training room is also an excellent option for veteran battle mages looking to explore new strategies or refine existing ones. Enchanted dummies, volunteer students, and seasoned professors are always ready for a sparring session.
This is the description of this mode, Practice sessions are NOT ranked.
In Practice mode, there are three settings: Cards Allowed, Difficulty (Level Caps), and Opponent.
Cards Allowed
In this setting, you choose the cards available for battle.
All Cards: In this option, all cards you own will be available for use in Practice mode.
Modern: In this option, all cards you own that are allowed in the Modern format will be available for use in Practice mode.
Ghost Cards: In this option, all Splinterlands cards will be available for use in Practice mode.
Ghost Modern: In this option, all Splinterlands cards that are allowed in the Modern format will be available for use in Practice mode.
In my opinion, the best options are Ghost Cards because I'll have access to all the cards in the game, but if your focus is the Modern format, then Ghost Modern is the best option.
Difficulty (Level Caps)
In this setting, you'll choose the maximum card level allowed in battles.
Novice: In this option, the maximum card level is the equivalent of the Novice league.
Adept: In this option, the maximum card level is the equivalent of the Bronze league.
Intermediate: In this option, the maximum card level is the equivalent of the Silver league.
Advanced: In this option, the maximum card level is the equivalent of the Gold league.
Expert: In this option, the maximum card level is the equivalent of the Diamond/Champion league.
I like to use the Expert setting because I usually play in the Diamond/Champion league in my ranked battles.
Opponent
Inept Student: Academy student who provides very little challenge.
Skilled Student: Academy student who understands the basics.
Professor: Experienced battle mage who is a master of cards
After selecting all the settings, click START SESSION.
The battle will begin, and you just need to choose your summoner and the monsters you'll send into battle.
Practice mode is perfect for improving your skills without having to worry about spending energy to battle or losing points in ranked battles. Use it to become a great player in Splinterlands and reach higher leagues and rewards.
