Hello Splinterlands summoners and welcome back to my blog!
Two exciting events are happening in Splinterlands. One is already live while another will be launched to the public on May 25.
Voltage Event
The “Voltage” event is a collaboration between Electroneum and Splinterlands. It's designed to connect both ecosystems through land gameplay, rewards and limited edition collectibles. Players will be able to use a new special card called ElectroFox to generate Electroneum Voltage Points (EVP) on land plots, which can later be redeemed for rewards including ETN tokens. The event is expected to launch to the public on May 25. Around $20,000 worth of ETN planned for the initial reward pool.
The event will launch a new card, ElectroFox. It's the first card that has utility on land and on battles. In battle, it is an aggressive Legendary Fire card with abilities like Opportunity, Inspire, Amplify and Painforge. It does have a drawback in Electrified which damages allied units each round though it can potentially empower units in certain strategies.
On land, assigning ElectroFox to plots helps players earn EVP and unlock special reward chests tied to the Voltage event.
Lux's Favor
There is a wheel to spin daily where we can earn a variety of rewards. I'm not sure about the black prize yet and I guess the hat is related to Lux Vega. The one I got was Sparks. It's a new token that we can spend on the Sparks shop where we can buy cosmetics for Lux Vega and Frontier cards.
Since I don't have Lux Vega, I'm looking to buy skins for my favorite Frontier cards like Little Sister, Dread Tafarian and Time Bandit. These are cards that I use even in Modern mode.
Final Thoughts
These events show how Splinterlands continues to improve beyond simple card battles. From collaborations between blockchains like Voltage to fun engagement events like Lux's Favor. The events adds new ways for players to earn, compete and stay connected to the world of Praetoria. As the game keeps expanding its utility and earning potential, players who stay active today may be positioning themselves for even bigger opportunities ahead. There's also the possibility that new players will try to play Splinterlands through the collaborations. Now that we have the opportunity to welcome new players, the team will have to find ways to retain them.
