Catotune's Top Battles Rundown: Champion league, Wild format - Sep 19, 2025

In this series, I analyze the top battles of the day to reveal which summoners and monsters are most successful for a given league and format. What better way to improve our Splinterlands skills than to study what the best players are doing?

For those of us who buy, rent, or rent out cards, I'm also hoping that this series can inform us of which cards to acquire for maximum effectivenes.

Stay tuned for a new report to be published daily, each covering the top battles for a different league and format!

For simplicity I threw out matches ending in draws and surrender - all data is compiled from wins and losses. Here are the results from 146 of the top Champion league (wild format) battles from Friday, September 19, 2025:

But first, a plug for my game!

I created a play-to-earn HIVE game: DemoniCore. Battle demons in fun, simple turn-based RNG combat, and earn DCORE for slaying them. Please give it a try, and let me know what you think!

New Game Mode: House Demons! Summon your own loyal demon, powered by AI, whose look and personality are limited only by your imagination.
