Blockchain-based games have become quite popular in the online gaming world. Among them, Splinterlands is one of the names that is very popular with card game lovers. The main attraction of this game is to collect cards of different powers and make them stronger by upgrading them step by step. As a regular player, I always try to improve my deck or card collection. In that vein, today I decided to update an important natural card in my collection, ‘Boring Hobgoblin’. In today’s article, I will discuss in detail the entire process of upgrading this card and why it was important for me.
First of all, let me tell you about the Boring Hobgoblin card. It is a natural element card, which means you can use this card with any splinter. Those who play Splinterlands regularly know how important natural cards are. Sometimes, when a card of a certain element is in crisis, these natural cards help maintain the balance of the team. I already had this card at level 5. Its performance at level 5 was not bad, but to fight against the current meta and strong opponents, having a level 6 card was essential.
To go from level 5 to level 6, it was necessary to increase the number of cards. I had to add several more cards to the level 5 card I had. To upgrade, I decided to buy 46 Boring Hobgoblin cards from the marketplace. As you can see in the screenshot, I had to spend a total of 966 credits for these 46 cards, which is about the equivalent of a dollar. The price of cards in Splinterlands often fluctuates, so buying cards at the right time is a big strategy. I think the 46-card deal for $1 was a good deal for me.
The process of buying the cards was quite simple but exciting. When I went to the marketplace, selected the 46 cards and clicked the buy button, a confirmation message appeared on the screen. The card quantity and total credit amount were clearly written there. Then, I had to sign the transaction using the Hive Keychain. I really like this security measure because it ensures that every transaction is secure. After the transaction was successful, 46 new cards were added to my account.
Then came the time to combine the cards. As you can see in the screenshot, I already had 60/100 progress. After adding the new cards, it became 1/100, and the number of cards increased for the next level. During the card combination, the game gave a warning that once it was done, it could not be undone. When I clicked on the ‘Combine to Next Level’ button, my level 5 card was transformed into level 6 with a beautiful animation.
Now let’s look at the changes in the card’s power as a result of this upgrade. At level 5, Boring Hobgoblin had 3 health and 3 speed. But after going to level 6, its health has increased to 4. To many, an increase of 1 health may seem like a small thing, but in the Splinterlands Battleground, 1 point of health can often make the difference in winning. Especially when the opponent attacks using the Sneak or Opportunity ability, this extra health helps the card survive for a long time.
The specialty of the Boring Hobgoblin card is its abilities. From level 5, it has important abilities like Sneak and Silence. Due to its sneak ability, it can directly attack the opponent's back card, which is enough to ruin the opponent's strategy. And since it is more durable at level 6, it will now be more effective on the battlefield.
After completing this whole process, a kind of satisfaction was working in my mind. Gaming is not only entertainment, but small achievements here also give a lot of joy. Especially when an asset or card is improved by spending your own accumulated credits or money, it feels like my gaming profile has taken another step forward. Progressing in Splinterlands is like a long-term investment. Because these cards are in your account as NFTs, which can be sold in the future if you want.
I have shared several screenshots of my experience with you. There you can see every moment from the card purchase stage to the transaction and successfully reaching level 6. For those who are new to this game, my advice would be to patiently collect cards and upgrade them step by step. Small cards together create a huge and powerful deck.
In conclusion, the Boring Hobgoblin level 6 card will now be my regular battle companion. I hope I can win many more matches using it. The fun of using your own strategy in the game and using the power of the card correctly is different. If I upgrade any other card in the future, I will definitely share that experience with you. Those of you who play Splinterlands, you can think about which card is the best in your collection and try to improve it. Let the gaming continue, and may our collection also be enriched.
