Release The Floating Eyeball of Death!

The large, floating eyeball monster known as Cornealus has strange magical powers and can see anything for miles in any direction. No one knows from whence it came.

stats.png

Have you seen this scary-looking eyeball in battle? I used to have a MAX copy, but I stupidly thought Splinterlands wasn’t going anywhere in the spring of 2021 and sold all my cards. I re-bought this card at level one during the peak for about $100 only to see it worth a third of its value today, but it still kicks ass at level one because it has a lot of life and self-heals by 4 points each round. If you can afford a MAX copy then you’ll have an almost indestructible wall for your enemy to pass because it will reflect magic and arrows as well as stick them with thorns causing 2 points of damage anytime a melee monster strikes.SLiNe.png1.png

This was an equalizer battle which means all monsters will have the same amount of health as the strongest card on either team and in this case, it was Cornealus with 12 health. It was also an archers-only battle so both my enemy and I chose archers that can fire while in the front position.

3.png

I always put Cornealus in the rear because most sneak attacks aren’t that strong so Cornealus will usually survive, but this was my wife playing and she put Cornealus as the second card which I told her was a mistake, but I was wrong because it worked as a great wall for a few rounds which made the difference and led to victory.

I like to use the fire team whenever the rules only allow for archers, but the death team will work too. What about you? What do you like to do when it’s only bows and arrows allowed?

EaRTH-QuaKE

He has been known by many names: Eater of Death, Lord of Ruin, The Pestilent. Usut is all these things, but more than anything else, he is the Undying. Only those that have lived with death and walked its halls can truly know the joys of life. Usut knows this all too well… so who better to torment and persecute the living. Three hundred years dead, Usut was made revenant by the Lord of Darkness himself. Lagfael found the red dragon’s corpse on a mound of bones and treasure in his lair within the Black Glacier on Mortis, preserved within a frozen tomb of ice. There was something about the dragon that pleased him, so he breathed an ancient spell, and life once again found purchase in the great drake. Usut now soars the skies of the Splinterlands. His haunting cries are a proclamation to all: death is coming, and it is only a matter of time until it finds you. He is Lagfael’s personal reaper and a creature that fears nothing. It is said that to look upon his terrifying visage is to welcome death into your heart. There are records of those brave enough, or foolish enough, to seek to slay the Undying. Their bones lay with all the rest, scattered across Usut’s pyre of death. Never before has the undead become such a living nightmare.

stats (1).png

Usut is a great new reward card that I’m glad to own and was afraid to see in my enemy’s lineup because if it can kill then the bloodlust ability kicks in and all stats increase by one each time it kills an enemy. Usut can just start devouring your monsters if it gets going so you have to kill it first if you can. I like to distract my enemy with a taunt so Usut can get to work. Once he’s MAXed out he’s a very OP card, but I doubt if I’m lucky enough to win 10 more of these cards. Whenever soulbound reward cards can get unlocked and sold, I’m sure Usut will sell for a pretty penny because few players will want to part with it.

battle.gif

My battle today was exciting because it wasn’t clear who was going to win until the 7th round. I knew my front-line monsters would die in this earthquake battle from enemy attacks so I didn’t care if they could fly or not. The self-healing eyeball of death never seems to die so I put it in the back and Uriel in the middle so he would be fresh when it was time to fight the other flying monsters that I was sure my enemy would choose. I think I won just because I had a stronger summoner. (If all stats are the same, then the player with the higher-leveled summoner goes first.)

lock.png

Are you ready for land? I’m so excited! I’ve saved up some DEC and have 5 MAXed 🌳Earth🌳 cards ready to work on cutting down trees on my forest plot. Am I doing it right? 🌳Earth🌳 cards will work best in a forest right? I can’t wait to start chopping down some of those digital trees!

Usut.png

Thanks for reading about my earthquake battle with Usut today. I didn’t realize it was a dragon-like creature with its mouth open until just now. I always thought that he had a helmet on with one glowing eye.

You can reflect magic and there’s poisonous gas? REVEALER doesn’t care!

One of the most dangerous warlocks to fight within the Chaos Legion ranks, the Revealers are often released within the first waves of attack. Almost like casting a stone into a pool and watching the ripples unsettle the surface before the small waves break over the edges, the Revealers spread terror amongst their foe, indiscriminately casting their magic with dire effect whilst almost immune to the damage and enchantments thrown back at them. It is said that even their own allies fear them and it’s not unusual for a Revealer to turn upon their own in the name of their goddess, Kuktune, being as they are, so obsessed with death and destruction.

Revealer.pngSLiNe.pngmybattle.gif

Last week it took days for the week’s Battle Mage Secrets ruleset to show up, but I got two battles back to back this time. My first battle was against an enemy who only leveled up a few of their splinters so when they were forced to use one of the splinters they’ve neglected, Life, they were no match for someone like me who believes in spreading the power evenly across the splinters. They also put out the armorer as the tank. I’ve never seen anybody do this before. I understand what they were thinking. It’s unlikely I was going to use magic attacks because of the magic reflect rule so they thought they could armor up themselves while their sneak attack monsters destroyed me from behind, but their meat shield in the front was taken out in the first round. They did take out my rear card and an archer, but he wasn’t doing anything other than absorbing attacks as a meat shield.

2nd.png

I was sure I had lost this battle because my daughter was crying loudly as the clock was running out so I just clicked on some cards before the time ran out and I still had 10 mana left before I hit the battle button at zero seconds. It was a magic reflect and poisonous gas battle so I chose Harklaw and Revealer because they are immune to the gas. In the end, it came down to just my Revealer and their Caladuun, but the Revealer won because he wasn’t hurt when his own magic attacks were sent back at him.

stats.png

I didn’t realize how powerful Revealer was until I maxed him out. It’s fun shopping for cards on the market, but I’m especially proud of cards like this which I’ve maxed out simply by combining my daily and seasonal rewards.

rewards.png

Speaking of rewards, how is your collection of the new reward cards going? I just opened a gold foil summoner. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a gold summoner before so it’s a welcome reward. He looks really cool too. Thanks for reading about my battles and Splinterjourney today. Have a great week. May the secret of Pratoria be with you!

Blasted with Arrows in Your Face

Yodin Zaku was a War Demon of the times before the Splintering so long ago. He was a hybrid child born of two warring races, the Efreet and the Bulludae, the Demons of War. But he never perished. His being was imprisoned in an ancient artifact that preserved his life, and now, nearly a thousand years after the Splintering, Yodin has opened his eyes and risen from his bondage.

Yodin Zaku.pngSLiNe.png1.png

🔥Yodin🔥 is a beast. I wish this were a post where I smashed him with a brilliant counter or more robust and faster cards, but sadly, this was another victory for the war demon.

card.png

Getting a MAX copy of 🔥Yodin🔥 would cost almost as much as my entire deck. I would much rather have a Lux Vega to use with any splinter, but if money were no object I’d surely have 🔥Yodin Zaku🔥 in my lineup. I’m glad that he’s an UNTAMED card and will get phased out to the Wild League soon. I would block him from being used by my enemy brawlers, but he’s rare enough of a card that it would be a waste. After asking everyone in the guild which card we should block, most chose 🌳Kron the Undying🌳. Which card do you or would you like to block from your enemy to use?

2.png

It’s good to follow the rulesets and choose cards from your hopefully diverse deck of cards that will do best in that situation. Since this was a 🎯Close Range🎯 battle any archers will be able to shoot while in the front line so I chose the life summoner because the hippo increases ranged attack power. Even though I used mostly MAX-level cards and a strong lineup that has won many times in the past, it was no match for getting blasted with strong ranged attacks from the mighty 🔥Yodin🔥.

3.pngUriel the Purifier.png

Uriel the Purifier is a tough tank that can take serious punishment with his shields, life, and self heal, but there were just too many arrows falling from the sky today.

5.png

I’m not really sure what to do when you know you’re up against 🔥Yodin🔥. If I had to do this battle again I would have tried going with 🌳Obsidian🌳 and just magic spamming, but I doubt that would’ve worked either. How do you defeat the war demon?

SPLINTERLANDS: No Arrows, No Problem

Many centuries ago, the Pelacor followed the prophet, Edalus, on what has become known as the ‘Exile.’ They followed him into the Mountains of Fire surrounding Mount Praetorous. For generations, they lived alone in these mountains, hidden away. They were taught to worship the sun and moon gods, Solaki and Lunaki, deities dreamt into existence from the bones of Edalus’ dead parents and his zealous mind. The scriptures read that the two Gods were carried into the heavens upon pieces of consecrated land, torn from the World to raise them high so that their worshipers would always look up to them and forever be beneath their great heavenly power.

SLiNe.pngangels.png

The Pelacor Mercenary must be my favorite card because it’s the only one I have three fully maxed-out copies of. I love cards that can heal themselves because healers are usually of low health and are easily taken out by opportunity strikes. Flying comes in handy for earthquakes and retaliating is a huge ability too. Your card may be taken out but, at least they get in one last strike of revenge before they go to Splinterheaven.

golem.png

The Pelacor Mercenary is just a pretty clone of the old-school Flesh Golem, but there are only 14,000 of these golems left so this once just a penny card is selling for a dollar per card making a MAX copy out of reach for me, and most other players so I’m glad I can get a cheaper more handsome version that can fly.

1.png

I don’t care how I win I just want to win and often times that means having to revert to the cowardly and thoughtless strategy of just going all magic attack.

ryu-street-fighter.gif

I’m like one of those annoying kids who couldn’t actually compete in Street Fighter so they just sit back and release Ryu’s Hadoukens over and over again sometimes at different speeds to through off your timing.

2.png

I did want to have at least one melee attack for this battle after my Mycelic Slipspawn bit the dust. I usually put the Mycelic Slipspawn in the rear and heal him with a back healer, but I had to put him out front this time to use up all of my mana.

3.png

My enemy had a decent strategy, but the magic spamming was just too much for them.

4.png

Thanks for reading about my magic spam victory today. It used to make me so mad whenever the enemy bots or players would revert to this thoughtless way of winning battles, but you got to do what you got to do to win that precious SPS!

ThoRnS -vs- DiEMonShArK

cover.jpg

Diemonsharks travel alone throughout the stars searching for prey and territory. They are fearsome beasts with lightning-fast reflexes. Diemonsharks are extremely territorial and attack any creature that encroaches on their land. The Chaos Legion trains them as transports for equipment. Since they can travel by air, ground, or sea, they are ideally suited for the task.

SLiNe.png

Howdy fellow Splinterlanders! Today I’m sharing my 🐉 -vs- 🦈 battle with the Briar Patch ruleset that gives everybody thorns that cause 2 damage points whenever an enemy melee strikes.

dstats.png

The 🦈DiEMonShArK🦈 is a card I’d love to MAX, but I’d MAX a few summoners first. I’ve only managed to level mine up to level 4, but it is battling well in the 🥇Gold🥇 and 💎Diamond💎 Leagues. It works well in many situations because of its shields, speed, attack, and ability to trample the next opponent in the same round.

djstats.png

I’d love an AI bot that tracks my most used and winning cards, but I have no doubt that 🐉DjiNN ChWaLa🐉 would be my number one go-to card. I’m not sure why it wins so much even at lower levels. I guess it’s the good mix of life, shields, attack, and of course those pesky thorns. 🐉DjiNN ChWaLa🐉 has thorns already so the ruleset of giving everybody thorns kinda nerfed it, but it still smashed through that 🦈.

1.pngseason.png

I’ve finally collected enough cards to enter the 🏆Champion🏆 League, but I don’t know if I have the strategy or skill to win that far without my wife. She’s lost interest in playing so now that I’m playing alone I realize how much I suck. At least I’m better than the bot. I let it play in the Wild version of the game every 90 minutes so I can still play in Modern.

battle.gif

They resurrected the 🦈 once which was annoying, but my healer also repairs armor so we smashed right through them without losing a single soldier. My team also healed the rear in case they used any sneak attacks.

card.png

I’ve finally surveyed my land plot and it is a common forest with trees. Does this mean that 🌳Earth🌳 cards will work best here?forest.png

I originally bought three land plots when they first came out for dirt cheap but had to sell two or the police would’ve put me in jail and deported me for visa overstay once the pandemic forgiveness period had ended. I wonder if they were castles or keeps. I guess I could check at HiVe-EnGinE, but I’d rather not know.

mt.png

I’m by a mountain so at least I’ll have a nice view. I have a bunch of 🌳Earth🌳 cards I never use so I’ll put them to work on my land soon.

new reward cards.jpeg

I’m still crushing it at the new reward cards. Some of the Legendary cards are way too powerful so I’m glad they’re mine and hard to get.sbt.gif

My journey to collect three million three hundred and thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three SBT continues, but I’ve been trying to get three of every coin on HiVe-EnGiNe so I’ve been distracted. I’m very happy to be winning great cards from the Discord giveaway often though. Thanks for reading about my SplinterJourney and battle today.

Splinterlands: Pelacore -vs- Giant

Many centuries ago, the Pelacor followed the prophet, Edalus, on what has become known as the ‘Exile.’ They followed him into the Mountains of Fire surrounding Mount Praetorous. For generations they lived alone in these mountains, hidden away. They were taught to worship the sun and moon gods, Solaki and Lunaki, deities dreamt into existence from the bones of Edalus’ dead parents and his zealous mind. The scriptures read that the two Gods were carried into the heavens upon pieces of consecrated land, torn from the World to raise them high so that their worshipers would always look up to them and forever be beneath their great heavenly power.

statspelecore.png

The Pelacor Deceiver is rightfully named because it deceives you into thinking it’s just a junk rewards card. That is until you get it combined at the top levels. Ten life, flying, backfiring, and retaliating are what the Pelacor Deceiver brings to the table at level ten when maxed. I was able to MAX this card simply by collecting my daily and seasonal rewards. I’m looking to MAX another one just in case my land gets surveyed and it is appropriate for a Death worker. If not, I’ll just put it up for rent. He will also be a great card to lend to any new guild members who lack it in the future.

hillstats.png

The Hill Giant is another card I’m proud to have combined 400 copies of to have a MAX level card that has nine life and three melee attack power all for only 3 mana. This is one of the cards that can win during the Little League rule set where only 4 mana and fewer cards will be available for battle. The Hill Giant can serve both as a tank and a meat shield because it has a decent amount of life even if he is a bit slow.

1.png

Since it was a low mana battle where everyone loses their special abilities, I thought I could win by putting out my Hill Giant and two archers. My summoner and Hill Giant were at MAX level for this Diamond League battle so I was fairly confident I was going to defeat this weaker opponent.

2.png

By the second round, it could’ve gone either way. Just one miss could have changed the outcome of this battle.

end.png

I sadly didn’t get any misses and lost this battle, but I got reminded of what a great card the Pelacor Deceiver can be. Thanks for reading about my battle today. I used to get mad whenever I’d lose a battle, but now I’ll go back and watch it again and steal my enemy’s battle tactics or if I really get smashed and have an opening, I’ll send them an invite to my guild.

Splinterlands Armor: Smashed by the KNiGHT

Armorspin.gif

In the Order of the Silver Shield’s knighthood, Royal Leonines are sometimes referred to as Imperial Knights because of their regal appearance and excellence on the battlefield. They wear the heavy plate armor of the Silver Shield, and most carry greatswords in combat, although some prefer war hammers, spears, and other two-handed weapons.

Antoid Platoon (1).png

I love my little soldier ants. They are tough and hard to kill because they gain a life points from both friendly and enemy dead each round, but they were no match for the new reward card, Imperial Knight which is a soul-bound card so I’ll max him out eventually without needing to spend any HIVE, DEC, or Credits. I made the mistake of powering down my Steem and then my HiVe at the beginning of this journey mostly because I’ve been broke like a bad joke for the past few years and @Splinterlands and Hive have been my only source of revenue other than the $300 disability compensation I get from the Veterans Affairs for my fucked up ankle from when I was in the military so I’ve looked like a leecher to the community with all of my power-downs, but I know now to NEVER power down, but I’ve spent all HBD converting them to Credits and scooping up as many penny cards as I can until the cards get maxed. That way of leveling up cards is kinda over now that regular NFT reward cards have ended. Now you just need to play a lot and you’ll get dope cards. I’m glad I got my ants maxed out because I see them being a total must-have card for years to come especially when the rules only allow for cards with 4 mana or less to be played.

Imperial Knight (1).png

The art just keeps getting better at @Splinterlands. This is one of the coolest-looking cards I’ve seen so far. Have you won him yet, the Imperial Knight? I see him becoming the meta Life splinter tank once everyone gets him leveled up enough to have the self-healing ability.

new reward cards.jpeg

My son and wife don’t feel like playing @Splinterlands at the moment so I’m using the @SplinterRents bot to play their accounts for them and I’m very happy with the results. They are both getting great new cards. I set the bot to play every 61 minutes unless a Daily Quest is running out of time then I’ll sometimes have the cards battling every ten minutes. I’m earning chests in the Diamond League so I’m of course getting good cards, but so are my wife and son at the Bronze and Silver leagues now. As an OG @Splinterlands player whose been battling since 2018, I can say that things have never been better than now for this wonderful game.

sbt.gif

I love that we can rent cards out, but some of the cheap ones aren’t worth the trouble so I’ve been staking up on my @SBTOfficial tokens because they are an SPS, VOUCHER, and DEC faucet. Other than Shiba Inu tokens, which don’t do anything but look all cute in my wallet, I think that SBT is the first coin I’ve ever staked one million of before. My goal is to stake three million three hundred and thirty-three thousand and thirty-three (3,333,333) SBT tokens and never touch them again once they’re staked. This would make me an SBT whale and should also bring a tiny bit of stability to the coin since it’s new and small, but a good one I see having more potential in the future. The SBT community is helpful in Discord if you want to chat with us more over there.

vruz.jpeg

I know now that I need to double up the amount of SPS currently staked so I can get a more powerful promo card next time. Did you get the new one? There isn’t much time left. He’s already helped me win a few battles!

1.jpg

I thought I had a good strategy of putting out my exploding rats first so they can do front and blast damage then hurt all enemies by one when it dies with the redemption ability then smash through their line with my ants, but their Imperial Knight was too powerful of a wall and a good tank.

end.jpg

Even though I lost this battle it took 8 rounds for the enemy to finish off my ants. See? I told you they were die-hard. I should have used a stronger tank, but the ants seem to always win in the Little League ruleset that only allows for cards 4 mana or less to be played.

results.png

My enemy earned one full SPS for this battle.

seasonhalf.png

I love that we only get knocked back two leagues instead of three now when the season resets. I don’t think I’ve ever made it this high up into the Diamond League halfway through the season before this. I’m actually starting to think I could dip my toes into the Champion League once again.

20230211_142438.jpg

Thanks for reading about this lost battle but lesson learned in @Splinterlands today. I’ll see you on the battlefield. I’ll be the one using the Dragon splinter from the Mandalorians guild. May the secret of Pretoria be with you all.

CRYPTO-SHOTS: KilliNG DRoNeS and EarNiNg DOOM

How are all of you fellow HiVe GaMeRs doing? Today I’d like to share with you the only game I’ve enjoyed on HiVe so far other than @SplinterLandsCrypto-Shots. It feels like we’re about to leave this long-ass bear market and see some crypto gains this year. Then again this could be the worst year ever for crypto. You can never know. What I do know is that some of the coins I’ve been holding on hive-engine have gone from being worth a few hundred dollars in 2021 to only a few dollars today, so I’m hoping the opposite is true in the future, and have been scooping up as many cheap coins as I can. It’s fun looking at all the random shit-coins available on hive-engine and sometimes you’ll come across interesting projects like Crypto-Shots here.

first.png

Crypto-Shots is both free-to-play and play-to-earn. If you go to https://play.crypto-shots.com/ You can jump right into the game and try it out for free and without messing around with any blockchain logins, but you won’t earn anything. It’s a great feature that more games should have. Imagine if @Splinterlands let you play-for-free, but you got access to EVERY card in the game. Of course, you couldn’t make it play-to-earn, but it would show how fun the game can be for new players.

You can even get Crypto-Shots to play on your phone. I can never figure out how to get HiVe Keychain to work on my phone so I just play on my PC which is over ten years old but can play the game just fine in Firefox.

easy.png

If you are playing the free-to-play trial you’ll be invincible for the first three rounds, but if you log in with HiVe or WaX you’ll take damage when the drones shoot you. I’ve only beaten level 0 on medium one time and it was super difficult so I don’t even dare try playing on hard because I know it will be impossible. You probably won’t even clear the first level on easy until you’ve memorized the map.

drone.png

These are your enemies. The big drones take more ammunition to take out, but the smaller ones are harder to hit.

pause.png

If the game runs slowly on your PC or phone you can turn off shadows to make it run more smoothly. If you press the ESC button you will enter the pause menu.

guningame.png

You have to have the gun both in your NFT inventory and find it in the game to use it. The starter pack gets you the pistol, grenade launcher, and shotgun. The shotgun works best but has limited ammunition.

letsgo.png

The radar shows the drones in red at the top of the screen, but it doesn’t work in medium or hard mode.gun.gif

I bought this gun on the HiVe NFT market, but since it’s level 2 and I’m still level 1 I can’t use it yet. I still don’t understand how to get to the next level in the game. In the Discord chat, they said I needed to stake 80 DOOM in the game. I did that, but I’m still stuck playing level 0.

FINAL.gif

I think I need to purchase a level 2 character like one of these sexy cyber girls, but they are expensive.

Crypto-Shots is still very alpha or beta at the moment, but I think it has a lot of potential. You’ll only earn about a penny for clearing the first round and you can only play about 22 minutes per day so don’t expect to get rich from this new play-to-earn game, but it is fun playing a Doom or Quake-like game again, especially on the HiVe blockchain.

AiM True with FLORRE

The first time Florre encountered the Chaos Legion was on her homeworld, Folia, in the Forest of Flames. The forest was a beautiful yet dangerous place. Its fire-scorched trees were burned and blackened. Their leaves smoldered with glowing embers. Pools of bubbling magma and mud pots could be lethal to any who stumbled into them or ventured too close.

RuneMancr Florre is not only one of the most beautiful cards, but a must-have-OP-Earth card in my opinion and I’ve been a Splinterlander since 2018. If I could have used her back in the Beta days it would’ve been constant victories. There are a lot of OP cards these days, but when the rules only allow archers or 🏹Aim-True🏹 like in my battle I’m sharing with you below where ranged attacks always hit their mark, RuneMancr Florre can not only make for a great tank or rear shield, she’ll most likely be the MVP of the battle. I’m glad to have opened her in one of my Riftwatchers packs because she can be a bit expensive. Since she doesn’t have any abilities I’ve been happy with her at level 1 for a long time now without thinking about combining the other copies I’ve opened preferring to rent them out for the season instead.sbt.gif

I’m glad we’ve moved to season rentals which can’t be canceled and are charging a DEC per rental, but it means any card not worth about $2 or more isn’t worth renting out because they’ll only earn just over the 1 DEC fee during the season so I sold all of those cheap rentals and got some SBT tokens from HiVe-EnGiNE and was happy to see that they reward SBT token holders with a little bit of DEC and VOUCHERS every day. I am staking about one million SBT tokens on hive engine and receive almost 7 DEC a day. I don’t think it earns as much as the SplinterRents service bot did, but that’s not an option anymore, and staking SBT is easier than using the bot because you don’t have to do anything other than stake SBT.gift.png

If you join the SBT Discord you can enter daily raffles. I’ve only been a holder for a few days, but I won a summoner card because there aren’t many people in the legendary chat yet. All you have to do is react to the daily Discord raffle bot in the chat and wait for the random spinner. There are very few people participating at the moment so your chances are good.

I was a bit worried when I saw my enemy selected URIEL THE PURIFIER as their tank because he can be hard to kill sometimes, but I was able to take him out in the first round. I lost my tank too, but at least he did some damage to URIEL THE PURIFIER in his shiny armor with his thorns.

They had a good strategy of healing both the front and rear of the line, but my ranged and sneak attacks were coming faster than they could heal.

My enemy would run out of hearts by the end of the third round. It only took a hit or two to take them out while my cards could’ve lasted another round or two.

Rewards will be changing to a simpler system than this current percentage system. I’m tired of arguing with my wife about why she shouldn’t drop my rate below 80% so I welcome the change to having an easy-to-understand daily power or gas limit. I love this game, but I doubt I ever play more than 30 battles a day. What about you? What’s your favorite ranged strategy?
