... is to play through the campaigns and tutorials, these were not available during when I started playing this game on my #learningjourney in Splinterlands. They really are quite a good tutorial for basic association with the game mechanics and battle analysis. They explain a lot of things that normally you might have to learn through trial and error, truly an invaluable resource. They also give you a base set of cards you can use for gameplay, that are honestly not that bad considering they are "free" with completing the tutorial stages. Definitely where I would go first as a new player.
The new prologue cinematics are simplistic in animation, but look great. It's honestly a real step up. Considering it's this game's version of the "Skyrim wagon" intro scene it does pretty well. It's basic and is a situation that could be viably solved with one card, or not. Well done, nothing too bawdy or gaudy either. Simple to the point, a fine cinematic sequence.
The tutorial even has newer additional scenarios that force the user to utilize "looking at previous matches to see if someone spams X" etc. to try and play a counter. Or "using what you have against an ideal lineup" etc. All things that are basic strategic concepts you need to grasp to actually achieve victory in the arena. Good "advanced" end of basic tutorial stuff.
All of these are in game options I did not have available back in the times I started. These sort of resources help you quickly in whichever language you speak. These are the best ways to assist you in all aspects of #playtoearn and #Splinterlands. Don't forget to leave tips "on" if you still need some pointers.
Prioritize having fun and learning the game more than anything. You will need to budget what you make by playing and what you decide to spend on the game to maximize your enjoyment in the game. ie "If you only like modern you will keep having to buy new cards, if you like wild or survival you either need a massive collection or a few dollars to spend each season. etc. etc." The overall economic leveling and mode spread may not be your thing aswell. I'd recommend doing the tutorial and playing to have fun, only spend what you can afford to lose that you would normally spend on a video game. Just with much greater in game inventory functionality that what is usually available in videogames.
Some of the biggest lessons I had to learn in Splinterlands were that I needed a more liquid and versatile mentality when it comes to assets. Anything in this game, it's value, if it can be played, all can change in a heartbeat. So I would recommend keeping an ear to the ground and not being afraid to get rid of assets if changes are nigh (more on that in a later post). A lot of the rest are covered in the tutorials and just practice making perfect
Survival is back so I have been back to playing some matches here and there in between the brawling matches. It's nice being able to actually play ranked with my cards again, and the format itself is interesting in design and implementation. I haven't encountered many modes like this that have held my interest this much. Rather fun addition to the game that has repiqued my interest with ranked play. Anywho, thanks for checking out this post everyone. You all rock. Stay safe out there Battlemages, See you in the Splinterlands.
The new campaign mode is so good for new players. Something I also wish was there to guide me when I first started. It should help a lot with player retention IMO.
