Hello everyone, today @theycallmedan has asked an interesting question in his post that I would like to answer ...

What is your favorite application on Hive?

Perhaps for many people it is difficult to decide, since there are several applications in Hive and many of them are fabulous, however for me it is easy to choose. I like to experiment, so I try a lot of apps, but there is definitely one that I've stayed with for a long time, and that's Splinterlands.

What is Splinterlands?

Formerly known as steemmonsters, it is a collectible digital card game, built with Blockchain technology (currently at Hive).

Since its inception in 2018, Splinterlands has handed out incredible rewards to users, and is constantly running tournaments and contests.

Why is it my favorite app?

• I believe that Splinterlands positively takes advantage of Blockchain technology, providing a verifiable game, easy to understand and that presents a great opportunity to have unique assets in which you are free to decide how to manage them.

• It has an active community, people who are attentive to problems and come up with ideas that constantly improve the game. Its administrators do not just keep what they know, but listen to concerns and seek solutions.

• It doesn't take me long. For me, time is worth gold, and I don't need to dedicate hours and hours to the game, that is, I can play for hours, but it is not a necessity. Also now there is the mobile version and that makes it a bit easier. I don't need to be present every day, I can invite my friends, delegate my cards, I can rent them and continue to enjoy the game passively, this is honestly a plus.

• It is expanding, it is a game that continues to grow and God willing, it will be more and better.

> Also, be honest, who doesn't like to win collectible digital assets while playing games and winning prizes of real value? I don't know, but years ago it was the dream of many, today it is a reality.

Splinterlands is a game known to many on the Blockchain, so I will present you some tips that may be useful to you:

• Take a few seconds and visualize the equipment that your opponent has used recently, check if the rules allow to use the same summoner, this way there will be a high possibility that you know what he will use beforehand.

• Before starting, familiarize yourself with the skills available, to understand and get the most out of your cards. On the official page you can find this: How to play Splinterlands?

• If the rule is low mana, remember to add more than 3 attack points, why? because if your opponent has healing, it will normally be 2 to 3 points of life, if you do not have that amount of attack, you will simply lose.

• Focus your team so that each card is useful, that is, in case you want to place 2 tanks at the beginning, check which card with enough life or shield can serve in second position with skills such as:

  Or in case you have enough mana, perhaps abilities like:

In this way you can place a tank that may have more attack in 1st position and in 2nd position one that is willing to take all the damage. That will depend on your strategy.

• Take advantage of the contests that Splinterlands offers you, there you can win packages and thus you can improve your collection of cards.

Well, this is all for now summoner, if you want to add something else, please leave your comment. A hug, see you in a next post.
Greetings.
