A Beginner's Guide To Splinterlands Tournaments | Splinterlands #392

In traditional games, PvP tournaments are the pinnacle of the gaming landscape where you can test yourself against the best. And with splinterlands, tournaments are one of its key elements, however with so many different formats, rules, and competition levels, it is easy for new players to feel overwhelmed. In this post, let us navigate the basis of the splinterlands tournaments.

Why Should You Join Tournaments?

Joining tournaments is a great avenue for grinding out extra rewards like SPS or DEC without affecting your daily regular battles. One benefit of joining a tournament and trying your luck is that you will be playing against other serious players which may help improve your strategy and tactics.

How to Pick the Right Tournament for You

The key is selecting a tournament that matches your skill level and deck strength. I would not recommend jumping into any tournaments where you will be outclassed by stronger opposition. New players, should solely focus on Bronze and Silver League tournaments, which limit card levels and can give you a better chance at winning.

Another thing to consider is to look out for tournaments with low entry fees. Focusing on tournaments with low entry fees will allow you to join more tournaments and start to grind out your tournament experience without breaking the bank. Many tournaments charge entry prices either in DEC or SPS and I have seen free tournaments.

Also, if you do not have a large splinterlands collection, renting out cards for tournaments is another option to consider. It is a very low-cost way for you to rent out overpowered cards for an upcoming tournament without having to buy them.

Preparing for Tournaments

Before entering a tournament, please double-check these basics:

• Check the Rules -- Make sure you understand the specific rules of each tournament. Do you need specific edition cards? Make sure to read the rules so you do not waste your entry fees.
• Build your deck -- Make sure you have a deck ready to compete. If you join a bronze tournament, no need to have higher-level cards.
• Know the timing -- Always keep track of the date and times of the tournament and remember to check in before the tournament begins. Not only is it frustrating to forget to enter and play your tournament matches but you also forfeit your tournament entry.
• Play to your deck's strengths -- understand the strengths of your deck and pick tournaments that suit your deck.
• Rent -- renting keys and overpowered monsters for tournaments may pay off especially if you land up in one of the paid prizes' positions.

Concluding Thoughts

If you are a competitive player who thrives on beating the best -- then tournaments are a surefire way to level up your splinterlands experience. The rewards on offer and the chance to play against the best make the tournament one of the standout features of splinterlands. However, they are not only reserved for the elite -- they are open to all players and if you want to learn and hone your strategies -- tournaments offer a fantastic outlet where new and old players can find success.
