Welcome to the 1st Strategy Guide
on becoming an amazing Bronze League player
To climb the ladder, I'll first be guiding you about Bronze Summoner League Level Limits as this will definitely help you compete and maximize the said league.
Additionally, this would also give you an idea on what cards to buy & combine and/or cards to rent while at the same time maximizing your budget.
Before I begin....
Support me and the other participants in the upcoming @ZenSports Splinterlands Stache Classic on Theta.tv by tuning in on the tournament on October 16, 2021 11 AM EST and also by entering the bracket prediction contest and submitting your prediction at https://challonge.com/cv3zjf8o for a chance to win yourself a Splinterlands Beta Pack and more!
A brief explanation of this would be the maximum Summoner card level you can play on the bronze league in which in turn allows you to summon a higher level monsters as well.
Examples,
a level 3 Common Summoner Delwyn Dragonscale
a level 2 Rare Summoner Mylor Crowling
a level 2 Epic Summoner Xia Seachan
a level 1 Legendary Summoner Yodin Zaku
What's the difference?
The maximum monster levels that can be summoned by the Common, Rare and Legendary Summoners are as follows:
 |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
While the monster levels that can be summoned by the Epic Summoner exceeds on the level of the rare monster:
| | | |
|---|---|---|---|
This is a basic knowledge that everyone needs to know and learn. This will also help you in saving DECs if your planning to rent or buy cards enough to compete and climb the ranks in the bronze league.
Do you need to rent/buy the highest level possible?
This question is only answerable by a Yes and No, and both answers are correct because of several scenarios from the stats improvement, price comparison, abilities, etc. and this is the last knowledge you need to learn and be familiarize in this 1st strat guide.
By this portion, you've now understood the importance of the level of summoners and the level of monsters they'll be able to summon.
Lets say you own/rented a level 2 Mylor Crowling
- "Yes" scenario, always play a level 3 flesh golem
because of the additional ability "Heal"
instead of a level 1
with no ability whatsoever.
- "Yes" scenario, if you ever want to play the card Swamp Thing
, play the level 2 version of this epic card instead of a level 1 because from this single level difference, this Swamp Thing
at level 2 can deal 1 Range
damage on top of its "Weaken"
ability.
- "No" scenario, let's look at the Mitica Headhunter
for this one, you are able to play the level 2 but the difference between the level 1 and 2 is not that significant with only the additional 1 Health Point
since you play this card at the farthest position of your team because of its high 5 Speed
that has higher evasion chances against enemy sneaks.
Another example, but this time on Epic Summoners.
I know that you've already asked yourself before on "Why would I play a summoner that gives no additional bonuses?" welps, I'll tell you why, these epic summoners are so important and underrated in bronze league for these reasons:
It only cost 2 MANA to play, as such you'll have an additional mana to build your team compared to a 3 MANA cost summoner.
You can utilize level 3 Rare monsters.
It is the best option for the "Silenced Summoners"
ruleset matches.
Lets say you own/rented a level 2 Xia Seachan 
Mostly, the Sea Monster 
who encouraged me to try and share my knowledge thru here.
