Season 182 Splinterlands Report for Hive account@seattlea

📖 Introduction

Here is my Splinterlands Season 182 report covering battle performance, earnings, rewards, and leaderboard placement.

This season I made an experiment of trying to balance my SPS and Glint earnings, so I have played a good number of Wild league battles to get a diamond leaderboard placement. That experiment was a success and I placed in the top ten at position number eight which earned me 200,000 Glint tokens.

The majority of my battles was in the Modern league, where I played almost three times as many battles in Modern league as I have made in Wild league as you can see in the table below. So I still made a really good amount of SPS in Modern league. I finished in Champion 2 in Modern at a rating of 4000 Points which barely let me place on the Modern Champion Leaderboard.

I had watched until the very end of the season to figure out if I want to risk 50,000 Glint for the Modern leaderboard by playing any more and decided to stay at 4,000 point rating which earned me 50,000 Glint tokens and a position number 99 in the top 100. So I barely squeaked into to 100 in Modern Champion.

⚔️ Battle Results

Format	League	Battles	Wins	Win%	Rating	Rank
Modern	Champion II	317	168	53.0%	4000	#99
Wild	Champion III	114	76	66.7%	3780	#8

You can also see that I earned 75,000 Glint from the Survival leaderboard. That is a nice glint bonus, it also earned me 25 entries into the fortune draws, so it really does make sense to play in Survival Mode even though SPS earnings have been temporarily removed from Survival.

As far as my win rates, I am pretty happy with a 53% win rate in Modern, that is nothing to sneeze at and at least 3% above my target for my win rate. Naturally after ending in Modern Champion 2 this next season I will face a tougher competition from the start so I don't expect to have a win rate above fifty percent.

💰 Earnings

SPS

5,641.440	Validate Block	-
4,033.706	Modern	-

475.966	Wild	17.416
270.675	Brawl	-
268.404	Validator Rewards	-
-	Stake Tokens	10,348

Most of my SPS earnings continue to come from my SPS Validator validating blocks, as you can see from the image below I am in eleventh position and just outside the top SPS validators:

My second top source of SPS is modern ranked rewards and staking rewards is a distant third despite having almost 750K SPS tokens staked:

Merits

36,198	Draw Rewards	-
16,320	Brawl Prize	-
4,000	Purchase Reward Merits	-

I keep accumulating merits with the hope that new Gladiator cards are coming even though I have maxed out all of my Gladiator cards. And I have over half a million merits already accumulated:

Glint

329,816	Ranked Rewards	-
200,000	Leaderboard Prizes	-
75,000	Survival Leaderboard Prizes	-

6,582	Survival Bracket Rewards	-
-	Purchase Reward Draw	535,000
-	Purchased Energy	72,000
-	Purchase Reward Merits	5,000

When it comes to Glint tokens I am in a much better position than usual due to an extra 200,000 tokens earned from the Wild Leaderboard.

Voucher

earn	type	cost
208.532	Staking Rewards	-
76.951	Staking Rewards Validator	-
-	Purchase Card	400

I have continued to spend vouchers on a really good card that is currently in the Vouchers shop: Conjurer's Hubris

Right now I have this card at level five and it is already usable, but at level six it gains an ambush ability which makes this card significantly better!

At level seven it gains three melee damage, but I don't think I will be able to acquire enough vouchers for that before the end of the sale...

🎁 Season Rewards


Minor: 94x	Major: 71x	Ultimate: 22x

I got 22 Ultimate boxes from my League Advancement Season rewards, but as you will see below I have not gotten anything spectacular for these and that is why I usually do not purchase any Ultimate chests from the shop, because at 10,000 glint a chest these get expensive really fast!

Shop Purchases

Chests

minor 300x	major 150x	ultimate 1x

As you can see I purchased as usual the full first tranche of Minor and Major chests from the shop, but I bought only one Ultimate chest. I know that odds are against me, but I like rolling the dice once in a while and I got one Ultimate chest this season. As usually it had nothing useful :)

Rarity Draws

common 0x	rare 0x	epic 0x	legendary 0x

I have not bought any of the Rarity Draws, perhaps eventually I will buy some Epic or Legendary draws, but right now I don't see the need to as I am accumulating cards naturally via the shop chests.

Others

Item	Count
Merits (from chests)	20x

I do keep buying two to three tranches of Merits from the shop for my Glint tokens, those are cheap and if we get gladiator cards I will have quite a few to spend :)

Consumables Earned

Item	Count
Legendary Potion	120
Alchemy Potion	118
Rare Scroll	17
Common Scroll	41
Epic Scroll	1
Merits	40,198
Energy	82

I have been able to get quite a bit of energy this season 82 is a really good number and helps me earn more SPS tokens.

Fortune Draw Entries

Ranked 869x

I have finally gotten a card in one of the fortune draw entries, it was a black foil which is great, but unfortunately it was not a very strong card and I already had a copy of exactly the same black foil card :)
