Splinterlands Social Media Challenge : Exploring Spl

My friends @rubilu @depressedfuckup @yahuzah and @abu78 will all be excited seeing this as they have been on my neck for the longest time to play splinterlands. For some reason, I haven’t really understood the game till now. I have explored the game and I am still exploring.

In this week’s splinterlands social media challenge, I have decided to make my first entry to the community by way of telling the community what I have learnt so far in the game.

So far, I have explored the elements, the in game currencies, cards, among others. Before you start playing to earn, you will need to stake some $SPS which is the game’s in game currency. You will also need to buy a spell book to have access to some cards you can use to play.

$DEC is one of the other in game currencies that we can use to purchase in game assets like potions, rent cards and also buy cards.

The elements of splinterlands are water, light, fire, earth, death, dragon and neutral. So in all there are 7 elements in the game. The neutral element has cards that are common to each of these other 6 elements while the cards in the other elements are usually exclusive to that element.

There is the wild league and the modern league which have their different requirements. In the wild league, you can play with all manner of cards but you first need to purchase the wild pass. However, in the modern league, you don’t purchase the pass but you cannot use all the cards in the game.

There are rebellion cards, chaos legion cards and legendary cards. The chaos legion cards cannot be used in the modern league but can be used in the wild league while the rebellion cards can be used in both.

When you win a battle, you get an increased rating, some $SPS and $GLINT tokens. You can use this glint tokens to purchase cards, merits, potions, among others.
