Splinterlands Engagement Challenge: Training Mode

Every week there is a Splinterlands challenge that can be found in this week's post. I also encourage Splinterlands players to partake in the challenge because they get to learn about the game. In this week's challenge, we talk about Training Mode in Splinterlands.

Training Mode

To access the Training Mode, you can find it in the play menu. I have put a red box around where you would find the training button. This is a good place to test out your cards or other cards that you may not have. You don't need to have a friend and you can do this at any point in time to get better at the game.

You get the above menu when you press training. You can choose the difficulty, cards, and level caps for the fight. Unlike the challenge mode, you don't need to have any SPS rewards for any features.

Options in the Training Mode

I review the options below.

Up towards the top is the choice of Modern or Wild format for this battle.

Next up is the difficulty where you can pick how hard the opponent is. You can pick from easy, medium, and hard.

Here you can choose what cards are allowed. You can pick from all cards, modern, ghost cards, or ghost modern. With ghost cards, you can also use cards that you do not own so it's a good place to try out new cards that you haven't used before.

You can also choose the level caps for the cards. This means that the maximum level of your cards are limited and it was how ranked battles worked before they changed it.

Benefits of using Training Mode

There are a few benefits to using this mode.

1. It does not require any energy so you can do as many fights as you wish to train.
2. If you are feeling rusty or want to get better, you can easily change the difficulty to fight a harder opponent.
3. You are able to use ghost cards. So this means that you can use cards that you do not own and you can scale them up to whatever level you want through the summoner level caps.
4. You can do this alone without any friends

Those 3 are the major benefits for using this mode in numbers 1 to 3 and number 4 is just a side benefit.

Example Battle

You can find this fight here. In this fight, I was able to use a max-level Eternal Tofu, even though I don't own one. It's a fun mode and you can play around with what you get as the rulesets and mana cap are randomized. That is the only downside of this mode when compared to challenge mode.

Conclusion

This challenge was to look at the training mode in Splinterlands. I think it's a nice feature and it's the first time that I have used it. I do think it's nice because you don't have to rely on a friend like challenge mode. You are also able to customize the battles to an extent, even if it doesn't allow for mana cap or rulesets. It's a good way to get better at the game because you can choose the difficulty of your opponent and the ghost cards are a nice way to test cards before you buy them.

Have you ever used the training mode feature in Splinterlands?
