The Revolutionary Splinterlands Survival Mode
The developers of Splinterlands, a popular Hive-powered blockchain TCG, are set to unveil a groundbreaking new format called Survival Mode. This mode aims to revolutionize the game’s economy and ranked gameplay, offering players a fresh and exciting experience.
What Is Splinterlands Survival Mode?
Splinterlands Survival Mode is an upcoming ranked gameplay format that will coexist with the current Modern and Wild formats. The mode is designed to have a significant impact on the game’s overall product and economy, as stated in the official blog post.
- Players can utilize a wide range of cards in this format, along with automation tools and battle helpers.
- No pass or payment is required to participate in Survival Mode.
- Gladiator cards cannot be used without a Conscript Summoner or Ruleset.
Unlike the Wild format, Survival Mode introduces two key changes. Players do not need energy to battle, but once a card dies in a match, it cannot be used again for a specific time period. This cooldown period acts as a limit on the number of battles a player can engage in. However, players can bypass this cooldown using Revival potions, a new potion type available in the game’s official store.
Survival Mode shifts the focus from selecting individual teams for each battle to managing your overall card collection strategically.
This unique gameplay experience encourages players to have multiple copies of cards for their strategies, marking a significant shift in the game’s approach to collection management.
Rewards in Splinterlands Survival Mode
Players can anticipate earning rewards in the form of $SPS tokens through the Survival Mode gameplay. Each win will grant players $SPS based on their reward shares earned in comparison to the total shares from all Survival mode battles over the past 15 days.
- Players can compete for leaderboard rewards by achieving high ratings at the end of each season.
- The $SPS reward pool and leaderboard prizes will initially be distributed by the studio.
If the format proves successful, developers aim to have rewards distributed through governance proposals approved by SPS stakeholders. Additionally, Glint rewards may be introduced for winning battles in the future.
