EASY Step-by-Step Instructions on how to ROCKET up the Ladder and go from buying the Spell Book to GOLD LEAGUE in 48hrs or less.
STEP 1 Use my Affiliate Link and get the Spell Book
https://splinterlands.com?ref=axrho
You already have one? GOOD! Get a new one (using my affiliate link) because step 3 doesn't work if you've had your Spell Book for more than 24hrs.
STEP 2 Rent a Yodin Deck
Go The Market then "CARD RENTALS"
Click on "FIRE" and "Summoners"- rent the cheapest Yodin you can for 2 days
(if it's less than 100/day- maybe more)
Click on "Monsters" then rent: (ALSO for 2 days)
Furious Chicken (Maybe buy this one- you'll want one)
L1 Flame Monkey (Maybe buy- he's CHEAP)
L3 Ant Miner (Also CHEAP- if you buy I suggest a GOLD L3)
L3 Fire Beetle
Pyromaniac
Ferexia General
L3 Flamesmith (another card I'd buy as a GOLD L3)
L2/3 Serpentine Spy (also a good purchase)
(Optional: Imp Bowman, Highland Archer, Lord of Fire, Fire Demon, Grenadier)
STEP 3 BATTLE!
Your lineup for battle will be: Yodin as Summoner
(Furious) Chicken, (Flame) Monkey, Ant (Miner) then
(Fire) Beetle, (Ferexia) General, Mantoid
You'll just need to adjust as mana allows- the IMPORTANT core is:
Chicken, Monkey, Ant, Beetle....
In the 2nd position I sub in Kobold Miner or Serpentine Spy for the Monkey sometimes.
The General and the Mantoid can be replaced with Imp Bowman, Goblin Fireballer, Highland Archer, Grenadier, Lord of Fire, Centaur, Spark Pixies, Fire Demon, Goblin Chariot, or Flamesmith.
The trick here is -and this is the IMPORTANT PART- for the first 24hrs, no matter your Rating or Power, YOU ARE A NOVICE. All, ALL, ALL of your Battles will be under the 'Novice' ruleset: Standard Rules, All Splinters.
For the next 23hrs- YOU CANNOT LOSE
So, Battle. BATTLE! and Battle some more... don't worry about ECR or how much you're making each win. Just Battle, Battle, and Battle some more- GRIND Battles for 5, 8, 10, 18hrs....
After a while, you'll be getting almost no DEC and very little Rating/Battle- it doesn't matter- keep grinding to get your Rating up while you can't lose. Once you get to 1,900 rating- maybe slow down? Maybe not? 🤷♀️ not important, at that point.
STEP 4 (Day 2)
Rent Llama, Kron, Hydra, L3 Flesh Golem (for 1 day) and 70K worth of Power (for the rest of the Season) to get into Silver I.
(https://www.splintertalk.io/undefined/@axrho/power-what-it-is-and-how-to-get-it-cheap)
Buy some Quest Potions (WITH CREDITS), do your Daily Quest and maybe a few more Battles. 🤷♀️
With Llama + Golem or Hydra or Kron- You, again, CAN'T LOSE- in Silver, Between 13 and 25 mana.
With the Yodin Deck- You, again, CAN'T LOSE- in Silver, Between 25 and 50 mana.
You'll win 75-80% of your Battles (some rulesets will prevent you from winning and mirror matches are draws)
STEP 4 (End of Day 2)
Rent 30-130K more Power (through End of Season) in order to get your Power high enough to match your Rating (Gold III- Gold I)
(https://www.splintertalk.io/undefined/@axrho/power-what-it-is-and-how-to-get-it-cheap)
and BAM! you're in Gold! in less than 48hrs.
Here, you'll need new Decks/Cards as Yodin.... doesn't really work in Gold or above (Llama- DOES but his rent is too much to justify using him)
Check back in my Blog, often, as I will be posting about Winning Decks in Gold and some analysis of Positioning, Cards, and Strategies for being successful in Gold and above Leagues.
