Introduction

It's been about a month since our last townhall in Splinterlands. Honestly, there's a lot of cool stuff in this townhall. I will highlight the key parts I thought were interesting and share my thoughts on them but possibly will go more in depth on some in future posts. I think Splinterlands is cooking and should be ready once the web3 gaming narrative returns to crypto. As for now, it seems there's a lot of focus on memecoins and AI. Personally, I've been trying to learn some memecoin trading but it's tough against the seasoned veterans. Let's go on with my thoughts of the recent townhall.

Free to Play Experience

We finally have a true free to play experience. I've actually already covered my thoughts in my blog last week on this so check it out for more information. To give a quick summary though, players can now earn glint for free. It's pretty good because as a game you want more people playing. We don't want bots playing; nobody likes playing with bots. It's a great model and there's a lot of games with success such as hearthstone, pokemon tcg, yugioh and many more. This was the right move and I hope to see some good marketing to get it going.

Next 2 Hall of Legend Cards

Honestly, Nephket seems alright. It's a dual element water and life with dual attack of range and melee. Water will be getting another strong sneak card but it's a bit of a glass cannon with a divine shield. I'm interested to see how Nelphket will be played. I guess it could be strong since water has wave brood and life has iziar. This could be a great card to combo with iziar since it can get buffed. I think this card will be situational and dependent on the strategy. It definitely will be a meta changer as that piercing and stun is no joke.

Meriput looks like a fun addition to Splinterlands. It's a dual element earth and life. It's a magic unit and it's not very fast but it makes sense later after you see the abilities. Mariput is coming in with repair and cleanse. This will be the first cleanse unit for earth in Modern. The only other thing that can help cleanse in earth if I'm not wrong is the summoner Llama but that card is only viable in Wild. It also has an interesting ability called echo which trigger armor and healing abilities twice. Honestly, this echo could be goated since earth and life elements have a lot of heal, triage and armor repair. I think this card could be broken but let's see how it goes.

Land 1.75

It seems like land is making some progrss. It's about 44% of the way done based on the photo above shared in townhall. I do have some land but I haven't been entirely understanding what will be the outcome of land. I do have some research in the secrets so hopefully something happens there. I'm glad that there's a lot of progress there since this was one of the thing promised way back but didn't get started until this year. I'm excited to see what land will be all about once completed as some people do like farming games and they could make this fun for that group of people.
