It's my 4rd season playing Steem Monsters. Had not reached Diamond in any so far. Did have to start spending on leveling the summoners as quest cards were earned increasing level of monsters. Also spent to level a couple monsters used as key combinations for water, life and earth.
Sitting at 2529 points now. Need another 171 points to reach diamond. The challengers are really good at this level and I might of just got lucky getting here. Had seen in the past huge losses over a single session. I'll put in the daily quest for the next 6 days. Maybe I get to get to diamond and earn some more cards.
Having a good time playing. The tournament circuit is brutal at just about any level. I been getting crushed there. Looking forward to being able to compete there someday.
I know there a still 1000's of players that are doing much better. It will take a while to reach the top 100.
