This game is already deep, and it's very early on..
I've been building a franchise over the past few days in preparation for season 2 which starts in apx 3 days from now. There are advantages to getting in early, as you get 1 free upgrade per 24 hours.
Franchise Upgrades
Once per day you have 1 free upgrade for your franchise which is known as training. You can choose between Goalkeeping, Defending, Passing, Dribbling, Shooting..etc, you get the idea.
And then there are the formations! Those that are familiar with the sport of football know that each team deploys a particular strategic formation on the field. Rabona lets you set your formation before a match, and these formations have synergies with your defense, midfields, and attackers. If you have a strong defense you may favour a formation that utilizes more defensemen, same goes with midfielders and attackers.
To start I am building my team around the talented players that I received from my starting roster when I purchased the game. For $5 you get a randomly generated roster, each player is an NFT that can be signed, developed, or sold to another franchise on the market.
In addition to training and developing players you can also upgrade business aspects of your franchise including Stadium Capacity, Catering Capacity, Merch Shops, and Scouting.
This Game Has It All
The nitty gritty aspect of this game which I think will be the main sticking point is the Player NFT's, along with player develpment and overaall Team strategy.
There is an awesome amount of detail available with each player as we can see here from the player card.
For example this is my stud goalie, although we'll have to get his passing upgraded!
You can see on the right hand side there is a tie in with formation, each player according to their abilities has an overall impact on your teams effectiveness with a particular formation.
I was able to access an awesome Robana FAQ document which goes on to further explain the formations.
And while we are it I think it's worth taking a look at how Over All strength or OS is calculated. The OS is the main state which lets you know at a quick glance how powerful a player is. The OS is made up of a combination of various other stats, and there's lots of stats!
Again thinking of strategy here, we can see how the OS is calculated differently for each type of positional player.
Comparing for example Midfield and Attacker we can see that midfield players rely more on Defending and Dribbling, while Attackers draw more on Shooting. These are things to keep in mind when you're scouting for players or shopping around on the market, or using the training function to improve your players or overall team strategy.
Earning FREE RBN Tokens
Again its worth getting started early as you are able to earn free RBN tokens for completing a variety of tasks that are needed to get your franchise off the ground.
RBN is the native in-game token used in Robana for paying the bills, signing contracts, purchasing players off the market, or speeding up the game by reducing a cool down.
Some of the easiest ways to earn RBN in-game would be upgrading stadium capacity to lvl 5, which earns you 25,000 RBN or purchasing a player from the market which also earns you 25,000 RBN. This means your first player off the market could be virtually free! I think the first player I purchased costs 35k RBN, and with 25K cash back this means I paid almost nothing for him.
Using a Referral Earns Us Both RBN Tokens
By using my referral link we will both receive a small bag of RBN tokens, a great way to start the game on the right foot!
🏆 BONUS: Use my referral link in the month of October and you'll be entered into a draw, 3 lucky winners will take home 100,000 RBN tokens.
