My first-ever post about the Splinterlands

Hello to all Splinterlands warriors!

I am probably the newest in the splinterlands web3 game, so according to that, I should first read the explainer blogs of other pro players about battles and game mechanics, which I am doing to some extent. However, I would like to thank my amazing guide Hive account@bravetofu once again for delegating me so many powerful and high-level cards. That now, while watching the battles of other players in the game, I also get excited which diverted my attention from learning, and I start fighting the battles. Which also is the right way, in my opinion, because if you keep doing practicals along with learning, then everything you have learned gets perfectly embedded in your mind. :D

There is so much to do in Splinterlands that time flies by. I have played only Frontier and Modern Battles in the ranked section so far, and I am currently in the last tier of the Modern Bronze League. So I have only reached the second step in the League ladder so far. Looking at the other level one cards, I feel that if Brave had not delegated those superhero cards to me, I would have probably been in the first tier of Wood or Bronze. So I don't understand whether I should celebrate this.😄 So once again, a big thanks to Brave because he is the one who has made these Splinterlands battles so exciting for me.

My mentor also suggested that I should check out the challenges in splinterlands. I had no idea about these types of challenges, but after reading the announcements, I got some context and here is my first-ever post about the game.

After losing many battles in a row, I noticed another thing: just having good cards is not enough here; making the right cards line up by understanding the game mechanics and the abilities/stats of the cards is also a very important part. Sometimes it takes me so long to make the right decision by understanding the stats of the cards and the conditions of the ruleset that the battle ends before it even starts, and I lose because of a timeout.😅 This brought a question to my mind: can this timer be increased in any way? How do you all manage to make a strong team in such a short time by understanding the enemy's battle history, ruleset and other battle conditions?

Apart from this, when I went to the higher tier in Bronze, I got cards and some other rewards twice, about which I will write in the next post, because it may take me some more time to understand those cards and their powers.

Apart from this, I am also very grateful to Hive account@bravetofu for delegating 50,000 SPS to me and also to Hive account@spsdaodelegation for delegating 100 SPS to me. Wow, that's a huge number. I am very, very grateful to you for this, and I will try my best to become one of your most successful mentees on splinterlands.

Its an exciting start in the game, and honestly, this is because of my mentor and the amazing community. I try to learn something every day in the game, but I find that there is a lot. This can really take time for me to have a thorough understanding, but I will not give up. This initial support is a big help for me, and I am grateful.

Thank You! :)
