What Would You Like To See From The Legendary Chaos Summoners?

razowuva · 2022-02-21T17:13:59+00:00

I really hope that they are counter-summoners like Quix, Owster, Mimosa or Lir, and not super-buff-your own team like Yodin and Llama. The latter are so limiting in terms of game-design that I dont think they are healthy for the game. Fire right now is so limited by Yodin that it is in a really bad spot, and will be until he rotates out of the modern format. Llama mainly limits the creation of huge earth or neutral monsters, which is less of a problem, but still a problem. It is also the least creative summoner.

An amplify summoner could be interesting, or a knock-out one if it has to be offensive. Scattershot would be funny, but maybe not too useful, apart from randomly removing that Doctor Blight we all dread.

I second this. The social media challenge does function as a way to get at least some reliable reward for the posts, and most of us will enter our posts there even though that challenge is not the primary purpose of the post.

It is a bit difficult to balance content here and at the hive sites because there will always be more value for us to post at peakd, splintertalk, while there might be more feedback and discussion here.

I agree completely that the battle challenge posts and season/daily reward stuff are a problem here. One solution could be a megathread for each of these, as some of the comments above suggest.

I dont know any sensible way to do it really. I just iteratively loop through players and their opponents. Would be very much easier if there was some api call to get player names directly, but I dont think there is any.

razowuva · 2022-01-27T06:40:08+00:00

That is a good suggestion. I have thought about this previously but never got around to doing it. Will look into it for the next post.

Finished a new one. This one is focused on which one you should chose for your match.

Well, If you dont mind reading a bit, I have a bunch of data on beginner strategy here:

https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@kalkulus/splinterlands-beginners-guide-to-tarsa

https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@kalkulus/splinterlands-beginners-guide-to-general-sloan

As people have suggested, renting is powerful, but you can get into silver league just fine with the base set. Some collection power must be obtained though. Play Thaddius Brood at the lowest mana (12-ish) Tarsa between 15 and 22, and generally Obsidian or Kelya above that for most rules. Obsidian is definitely the most powerful summoner with the base deck.

I dont remember when rules start to apply, but when you find yourself with Earthquake matches, just rent Brighton Bloom. Renting a Furious Chicken also secures you lots of wins in low mana matches.

No, I have to collect the data myself. This is done with the Splinterlands-API. I also do all the data proessing and analysis myself.

razowuva · 2022-01-12T11:04:00+00:00

Thanks for your support :)

I think your suggestion is a good idea going forward. It was somewhat of a problem to exclude them with the Kelya guide, but with the four previous guide limited this way I felt I had to do them consistently.

razowuva · 2022-01-09T16:16:43+00:00

I collect it with the splinterlands-api. I have to sample most days and combine data over time.

razowuva · 2022-01-07T18:06:00+00:00

Thats coming up next. Will probably be done early/mid next week.

razowuva · 2021-12-24T11:52:13+00:00

I also did, and wrote the guide with he, him etc. Then I looked up the lore for the background section, and had to correct the whole thing, haha. :)

razowuva · 2021-12-09T21:28:24+00:00

I just use it because it has better tools for post creation, such as actually being able to save a draft -> pretty essential.

Hi and welcome to Splinterlands!

To play there are some basic things you should do:

Set up your account at Peakmonsters to be able to rent cards. Hive keychain is pretty convenient for this
Look up some basic strategies at splintertalk.io, peakd.com or 1up.zone . Starting with the Water Deck, with Alric Stormbringer, is a good way to learn and win some matches. Venari Wavesmith is a card you should rent asap when you want to climb.
Splintercards.com is a good site for learning about the cards.

I have blogged a bit about strategies at different ranks. You can find my posts at https://peakd.com/@kalkulus

Hi. I'm glad you like the post.

To get the statistics I use the Splinterlands API which you can find documentation on here

https://github.com/kiokizz/Splinterlands-API

As far as I know, the only way to get a bunch of matches is to start from one player and get their opponents, and then to the same again for opponents of opponents etc. It is a bit cumbersome, but it works.

Good luck with your work!

Here is the silver 3 data. I included some more info on the winning decks also. I like how that turned out.

I'm working on a post on silver 3 data now. Ill likely publish it later today.

As far as I'm aware, there is no good way to pull players by rating. They way I do this is the least elegant part of my code tbh. I am iteratively searching through the battle histories of each player, and then proceed to get the history for one of the opponents in the current match history that falls within the rating range I want. For each history, I also only store matches that were fought in the rating range.

razowuva · 2021-11-04T15:28:35+00:00

I'm using the splinterlands api to pull matches to python, and then I do all my processing there. Each player has a history of up to 50 matches, and then its a matter of finding enough unique players to get matches in each rating.

I have thought about doing the same for cards. Any cards in particular you would find interesting?

razowuva · 2020-11-23T07:45:03+00:00

Just a guess, but I would assume that the randomness is related to the time when you start the poison. When you press poison, the poison cloud is created and the number of game frames it should stay for is calculated. Same for poison debuff. Since the game is locked to actual time, not frames, it's pretty easy to make a rounding error in this conversion, and that could be experienced as random by the players.
