Like most end-of-season Splinterlands users who share loot chests at the end of the season, I will also do the same.
Many updates have been implemented, starting from the battle system that is divided into two, Modern and Wild, as well as the usual daily focus based on splinters, now more on the abilities possessed by cards.
One thing to note that I think I'm still a little surprised by this rule is about renting cards, now you can't rent cards for one day, but must be two days or more.
This will have an impact on the amount of DEC used will be even greater. I tried to outsmart it by canceling renting a few moments after renting, in the hope that the DEC I issued could return, but it turned out that my guess was wrong. It doesn't work.
This has an impact on increasing the number of DECs that must be issued for renting cards, especially at the end of the season the price of renting cards can increase very high.
The DEC rewards that I get at focus daily are also not as much as before, sometimes I spend thousands of DEC, but what I get at the end of the day, the amount of DEC is less than what I spent, usually not like this.
But that's all sometimes treated by getting some gold cards for example, or getting a pack in some cases.
Another new thing that I still don't understand is Merits, as far as I know, Merits can be used to buy Gladius cards, which can only be used to battle in Guilds, unfortunately, I'm not joining any Guilds right now.
It's getting harder and harder to win the battle day by day, especially in the high leagues, focus and strategy will be very helpful, especially if you have a complete deck.
At the end of the season, I managed to collect 56 Chests worth 4.11$ with 6.13k DECs and 2.32k Merits, and 108 potions
In conclusion, this July I earned a total of 19.32$. I have to try my best to be able to level up the league, but until now I've fallen even more down to Silver, sometimes this is frustrating, but I've rented cards for two days, and I have to keep trying to get to the league that matches the amount of power I had.
