My Seasonal Results, My Reward Card Upgrades and My Next Seasonal Goal
Season 169 of Splinterlands has just ended, and as always, it’s time to look back: results, mistakes, and new goals.
But first, let's take a step back...
I signed up on [Hive](https://hive.io/) in March 2019, and a few months later I started playing **Splinterlands**.
My passion for **Hive** and **Splinterlands** has lasted for more than six years and is still going strong.

**Splinterlands was the first blockchain-based game** I became passionate about, and it sparked my interest in **web3 games**, particularly **games based on the Hive ecosystem**.
From 2019 to today, I have tried several games, but few are still active and constantly updated.
In this small circle of games that are still alive after several years, there is Splinterlands, where season 169 ended a few hours ago and season 170 is now underway.
In this post, I share:
- my results in season 169
- the upgrade of my cards with the aim of improving my game results
- my goals for season 170 (the season currently underway)
# My results in season 169
In the recently concluded **season 169**, I played in my two favorite formats: **Modern Format** and **Frontier Format**.
In the **Modern Format**, I finished the season in **52nd place** on the **Gold Leaderboard** with a **rating of 2420**, **397 battles played**, and a **win rate of 46.85%**.
For this ranking, I received a prize of **12,500 GLINT**.
It was a season of **ups and downs** because it started off great but ended with a **sharp decline** in my game results.
In fact, just six days ago, I had reached the **Diamond III** league.
But in the last five days of the season, I slipped into the **Gold II** league and was unable to climb back up.
If I want to improve my game results, I need to **improve my battle management** and, above all, I need to **avoid losing battles due to time limits**.
My main problem is the **limited free time** I have available, which I have to divide between the games I play.
In fact, I play some games in **multitasking** mode.
I often combine **Splinterlands** with **Moon Karts** and **Golem Overlord**:
- I click Battle on Splinterlands and while I wait for an opponent, I also start a battle on Golem Overlord Conquest Mode.
- After selecting the battle formation and clicking on Splinterlands, I go to Moon Karts and launch matchmaking.
- I play Moon Karts, and when the race is over, I go to Golem Overlord and select the Golems to send into battle.
- I go back to Splinterlands, see the outcome of the battle, and start another one, repeating the cycle.
If I played only one game at a time, I would probably have better results, but that's okay because I'm having fun anyway.
To improve my win rate in the Modern Format, I would like to **rent a third top-level archon**, but the rental prices for the archons I like best are too high and would eat into a significant portion of my seasonal earnings.
In fact, in the Modern Format, I only have three top-level archons:
- **Akane** (owned by me)
- **Nomos** (rented)
- **Avina of the Wolf** (rented)
Screenshot from https://peakmonsters.com/rentals
I'm undecided whether to try renting an archon for a season between **Reklah**, **Underboss Fabino**, and **Prophet Rosa** or not.
I'll think about it some more.
As for **game rewards**, in season 169 I earned a total of **897.69 SPS** thanks to my victories in Modern Format battles.
My gaming activity in the Modern Format is my main source of SPS token growth:
- Ranked Rewards: **+897.69 SPS**
- Staking Rewards: **+359.30 SPS**
- Brawl Rewards: **+36.11 SPS**
https://splinterstats.net/seasonReportCard.html
My seasonal **Rental Report** is back in the black after several seasons in the red: **+2287.75 DEC** (previous season: -295.278 DEC).
https://splinterstats.net/seasonReportCard.html
If I could find a top-level Archon at a cost of 53 DEC per day, that would be ideal for me because I would have more strength in battle with a balanced budget between cards rented and cards given out on loan.
As for the **Weekly Fortune Draws** recently introduced in the **Modern Format**, I participated twice out of two but was unlucky.
Today I bought my third Fortune Pass in the hope that sooner or later luck will decide to smile on me :)
My season in the Modern Format wasn't one of my best in terms of game results, but my season in **Frontier Format** was **very positive**.
In the Frontier Format, my goal for the season was to improve on the results I had achieved in the previous season.
In Frontier Format, I finished the season in the **Gold I** league, ranked **459th** on the **Gold Leaderboard** with a **rating = 2680**.
I finished the previous season in 684th place in the Gold Leaderboard with a rating = 2680, so **goal achieved!**
These results are the **fruit of Foundation card upgrades** and, in particular, my recent **upgrade of Aurelia from level 2 to level 3**, which allowed me to use unit cards with better stats in battle.
# My progress in upgrading cards
On **October 21**, the **new Reward Cards (Conclave Arcana)** were released.
||Post Link: [Splinterlands: The New Conclave Arcana Reward Cards Are Here! All the Updtates and My First Impressions (ENG/ITA)](https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/splinterlands-the-new-conclave-arcana-9965f781b7f6f)|
|-|-|
During the previous season, I started buying **Rarity Draws**, starting with **Common Draws**.
Initially, I will alternate between purchasing **Common Draws** and **Rare Draws**, then focus on Epic draws before moving on to Legendary Draws.
Thanks to my in-game and seasonal rewards in **GLINT**, today I used:
- **90,000 GLINT** to purchase **300 Common Draws**.
- **18,000 GLINT** to purchase **12 Rare Draws**
|||
|-|-|
Out of **300 Common Draws** opened, I found **3 Gold Foil cards**.
In the next image, you can see the cards I found in the 12 Rare Draws.
Regular Foil cards are Soulbound, while Gold Foil cards are immediately transferable or sellable.
I put the three gold cards I found today up for sale with the aim of buying other cards.
With the cards I found in the 300 Common Draws, I was able to **upgrade all 12 common Conclave Arcana Reward cards**.
The level of these cards is still too low to be useful in the Modern Format, but there are already some cards I could use.
For example, **Husk Of The Hunter** is a particularly useful card starting at **level 3** because it gains the **Headwinds** ability, which is very advantageous in battles with the **Going the Distance** ruleset.
In battles with little mana available, **Ironwing Juggernaut** is a valid choice, but only from **level 3** onwards, because at level three it acquires the **Charge** ability and can attack from any position.
Just today, I used a level 4 **Ironwing Juggernaut** in a battle with **23 mana available**.

The level 4 Ironwing Juggernaut was not the key to victory in battle, but it was useful and contributed to the final victory.

# My goals for season 170
My **new goals for the season 170** will be:
- **to finish the season in Diamond III in the Modern Format**
- **to improve my game results** (rating and win rate) in the **Frontier Format**
- **play at least one tournament**
And you, in which format did you achieve the best results in season 169?
Have you tried the new Rarity Draws yet?
I hope I have given you useful information and some interesting thoughts and thank you for taking the time to read this post :)

# I miei risultati nella stagione 169 + I miei progressi nel potenziamento delle carte + I miei nuovi obiettivi stagionali

**La stagione 169 di Splinterlands si è appena conclusa** e, come ogni fine stagione, è tempo di tirare le somme.
Ma prima un passo indietro...
Mi sono iscritto su [Hive](https://hive.io/) nel **marzo 2019** e qualche mese dopo ho iniziato a giocare su **Splinterlands**.
La mia passione per **Hive** e per **Splinterlands** dura da più di sei anni ed è ancora viva.

**Splinterlands è stato il primo gioco basato su blockchain** a cui mi sono appassionato e ha dato il via al mio interesse verso i **giochi web3** e in particolare verso i **giochi basati sull'ecosistema di Hive**.
Dal 2019 a oggi ho provato diversi giochi ma pochi sono ancora attivi e in costante aggiornamento.
In questa stretta cerchia di giochi vivi dopo diversi anni c'è Splinterlands nel quale, da poche ore, è terminata la stagione 169 ed è in corso la stagione 170.
In questo post condivido:
- i miei risultati nella stagione 169
- l'upgrade delle mie carte con l'obiettivo di migliorare i miei risultati di gioco
- i miei obiettivi per la stagione 170 (la stagione attualmente in corso)

Nella stagione da poco conclusa, la **stagione 169**, ho giocato nei miei due formati preferiti: nel **Modern Format** e nel **Frontier Format**.
Nel **Modern Format** ho concluso la stagione al **52° posto** nella **Gold Leaderboard** con un punteggio di **rating = 2420**, **397 battaglie giocate** e un **win rate = 46.85%**.
Per questo piazzamento in classifica ho ricevuto un premio di **12500 GLINT**.
