Struggling To Win - New Player
Hi all, I'm making this post today to try engage the community I joined splinterlands about 4 days ago, I haven't been playing many games daily but I do tend to get my DEC capture rate down to about 85% per playing session.
As you can see from my stats I've won just under half of my games played, I feel this is a bad return considering I am pretty much stuck in novice, I win a game or two to take me to bronze then lose three to secure me back into novice. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong I feel the teams I put out are good enough to win but, apparently not. I need a good starter guide and or tips to help me along, I can't afford to buy any packs or dice to increase my cards right now, nor do I have any funds to rent any sadly (not like I'd know what to rent anyway) I've attempted to research myself for guides and I come across the same high level/high tier guides over and over, youtube videos are no better the novice/beginner guides give "tips and tricks" for aspects of the game I do not care about at the moment.
All I care about is trying to win enough games to make playing FUN, getting beaten over and over again by equally as novice players is tedious and I don't feel I've improve at all since joining. Any Guides/Strategies would be extremely helpful to a noob like myself.
thank you for reading
50/50 Wins/Loses is about right for most players so don't worry about that.
The basic setup is Melee at the front, magic in the middle, and ranged at the back. The ruleset is key, if it's a 'slow', field your slowest cards, if it is 'blast', go for the fastest. If you can rent some level 2/3 cards I would save your DEC and try to do that. Good luck!
Thank you for the advice! is there a cycle of the combat styles I should know about? such as water beats fire, speed beats death etc? appreciate it thank you again!
I think they can all beat each other and it is the ruleset of the match that generally sways the result. If you are earning DEC via battle, i would take a look on the rental market for lvl 2/3 cards and see if that improves your win ratio.
