Hey there, everyone! I'm super stoked to be back here with you all. It's been a minute since my last post, but I hope you've been doing amazing and everything's been going well for you. Now, let's dive right into the exciting stuff! The theme for this week's Social media contest is "Tips for beginners.".
Introduction to Splinterlands
Are you familiar with the term TCG ? It's a kind of game that falls under the Strategy games category, TCG stands for Trading Card Game, which is a type of game where players collect and trade cards to build their own unique decks. These cards usually represent different characters, creatures, or abilities that players can use to battle against each other.
Splinterland is a classic TCG game like the others but what sets splinterland apart is that cards are Blockchain backed, cards are owned as NFT which can be traded for money and bought between players in the game. Here is a simple and insightful overview to give you a general idea of how and the way splinterland is
We've got two main types of cards in the game: summoner cards and monster cards.
Summoners
The summoner cards are super important because they determine the types of monsters we can summon during each game. There are six awesome elements to choose from: fire, earth, water, life, death, and dragon.
Before every battle, we get to pick our summoners from the ones we have available. It's crucial to choose wisely because the summoner you pick will determine the types of monsters you can summon, and that will ultimately shape the flow of the battle. The battlefield is strategically set up, with the first position being the one that usually gets the most attacks. So, it's a good idea to have a strong defensive card in that spot to handle the heat.
The second row and beyond depend on the mana and number of cards chosen. If you've got ranged attack monsters, it's best to place them towards the end of your selection, as they don't function well when placed too close to your opponents. Each battle has a specific mana cap, which determines the amount of mana you can spend per battle. And here's the cool part: each monster has three types of attacks they can dish out: melee attack, ranged attack, and magic attack. The effectiveness of each attack depends on the monster it's aimed at.
So, there you have it! That's a broad overview of Splinterlands and how everything works. It's such an exciting and strategic game

Strategy Tips for Beginners
Here are a few things to keep in mind that might help you win games !
First, study your cards inside and out. Knowing your cards like the back of your hand is key. Understanding their abilities, strengths, and weaknesses will give you an edge and help you make smart decisions during gameplay. Personally, I like to use the cards I'm most familiar with.
Next, it's important to build a balanced deck. You can't just rely on one super strong card in the first position. You need a mix of different types of cards that work well together. Placing them in appropriate positions is crucial for success.
Take your time to plan your moves carefully. Think about the potential outcomes and consider how your opponent might respond. This strategic thinking will help you make the right plays.
Lastly, focus on card synergy. Look for cards that complement each other's abilities and work well together. Building a deck with strong synergy will give you a big advantage in battles.

Share Your Early Experience
I Started my splinter land journey since 2021 and it's been fun since then, the game has evolved a lot and every couple of months some good and notable changes gets integrated into the game to make it more balanced and good for everyone to play the most recent being the rebellion phase we entered.
The most outstanding difficulty one can have at the beginning of the game is understanding how the cards complement each other, and how to arrange your deck in such a way that favors you against the opponents.
Understanding your cards give you an upper hand against your opponent and helps you strategize properly in each game overcoming this barrier would mean you have an ultimate upper hand over anybody you are playing.
Secondly the most notable challenge you will face in Splinter land are people that dohave spent a long time in the game thereby owning exclusive cards that you as a newcomer will most likely not get except you buy for example cards with blood loss (e.g Quora Towershead)are very rare and those cards give their owners if strategically used properly an upper hand
But don't let this weigh you down, if you know you way around the cards and you have good understanding of the cards and there chemistry no one can stop you. Here is a quick glance at my yet favourite splinterland battle . This is proof all you need to be successful in splinterland is card synergy
