Vacation’s Over: Back to Battle in the Splinterlands Arena
Fifteen days have passed since my last post about Splinterlands on my [Hive](https://hive.io/) blog because I was on family holiday for 10 days.
My family holiday was very nice and very relaxing but now that it is over I have resumed my stressful work routine (unfortunately) but luckily there are Hive and Hive-based games to lighten my days.
Among the Hive-based games I play Splinterlands occupies an important role because I really like playing it even if only in the human-friendly game modes (Modern Format, Frontier Format, Brawls and Tournaments) because I don't like playing against bots.
|Game modes for human players |(Bots prohibited)|||
|-|-|-|-|
|**Modern Format**|**Frontier Format**|**Brawls**|**Tournaments**|
|||||
My favourite game modes are three: **Modern Format**, **Frontier Format** and **Brawls**.
I would also like to play some tournaments, and if I will have more free time in the next days than I generally have, I will return to play in this game mode as well.
Back from my vacation I found some interesting news:
- the launch of the **[Gaming Recovery Fund](https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@cryptogamingrf/introducing-the-crypto-gaming-recovery-fund)**
- the launch of the Arena Fanatic card for those who follow Splinterlands influencers on Twitch
- the announcement of a [new SPS governance proposal](https://peakd.com/spsproposal/@splinterlands/sps-governance-proposal-hire-smc-to-create-a-new-mini-set) regarding the launch of a new mini-set of cards.
I also really like the addition of the **NEWS AND UPDATES section** on the Splinterlands home page.
In this post I share my **restart of my game activity and my progress in the Ranked Play modes** starting with the new Frontier Mode in which I am having a lot of fun.
# My FRONTIER Format Game Activity and Progress
The **Frontier Mode** was released on 29 July 2025 and I really like this format because:
- it's fun
- it reminds me of my beginnings on Splinterlands when cards were few, when there were only human players and when the incentive to play every day was the chests that initially only contained cards.
Even though I only started playing in the Frontier Format again on yesterday 26th August, I'm happy with the progress I've made because I'm in the Bronze I league (a league I've never been in before) and I also made a brief appearance in the Silver III league.
My game results improved mainly thanks to the legendary card **Mystic Scaleweaver** that I found inside a chest.
Using Mystic Scaleweaver in combination with the archon Marlai Singariel definitely improved my win rate.
In the next picture you can see my most recent battle where I used the **Marlai Singariel + Mystic Scaleweaver combo**.

Having a card with 3 magic attack points is a nice advantage in Frontier Format!
Having stopped playing in Frontier Format for 13 days didn't allow me to accumulate as many entries in the first Frontier Draw, but from now on I will try to accumulate as many entries as possible to increase my chances in the next Frontier Draws.
Today I was particularly lucky with my daily rewards because I found another legendary card: Great Bear Druid.
I now have two copies of Great Bear Druid and only need one more copy to upgrade to level 2.

# My MODERN Format Game Activity and Progress
I enjoy playing in Frontier Mode but I also enjoy playing in the **Modern Format** because in these two formats there are only human players like me and no bots.
**Playing against a bot equals 0 fun for me!**
I only started playing in the Modern Format starting on 25 August.
I started in the Gold I league and am now in the Gold II league.
Although I have less than 4 days left before the end of the current season I will try to reach the Diamond III league even though it will not be an easy goal to achieve.
In the **Modern Format** I play with a **card collection** consisting of **356 cards** (owned + soulbound) **= 9034 BCX = 149500 CP** which you can see from here -> [My Modern Cards](https://peakmonsters.com/@libertycrypto27/cards)
In the previous season I played 257 battles and achieved 130 victories.
**The Modern Format is also my main source of seasonal SPS token earnings**.
In fact, in the season before this one, I earned **690.59 SPS** thanks to my 130 battle victories in the Modern Format.
https://kiokizz.github.io/Splinterlands/seasonReportCard.html
690.59 SPS equals 7008 DEC which I consider a very good result considering that I did not play during the last two days of the previous season.
My gaming results have improved since I added a second top level summoner to my summoners.
In fact, two seasons ago I rented **Avina of the Wolf maximum level** at a cost of **44.56 DEC** per day.
In the next picture you can see the summoners I can use in Modern Format.
When I use Akane and Avina of the wolf in battle my win rate is very high.
When I cannot use them because their element is not selectable I almost always lose.
My seasonal SPS earnings allow me to make an additional rental of a top level summoner but at a not very high daily cost.
Today I rented another top level summoner because I found a rental cost of less than 50 DEC per day.
I rented Nomos level 8 for 19 days at a cost of 39.9 DEC per day.
With three summoners of the highest level and different elements, I should be able to improve my win rate and also my seasonal rewards.
I made this choice considering that I would only need one extra battle win per day thanks to Nomos to cover the daily rental cost and at the same time make a small extra profit.
In fact in my last battle win I gained 4.4 SPS which is worth 45,014 DEC which is a higher earning than the Nomos rental cost which is 39.9 DEC per day.
Thanks to the GLINT I received as end-of-season rewards I made progress on upgrading the Rebellion Reward Soulbound cards.
I spent 90000 GLINT to purchase 12 Epic Draw.
I have increased the level of two of my Epic cards including **Arachne Weaver** (level 4 -> level 5) which is a particularly versatile and useful card in battles.
# My SURVIVAL Game Activity and Progress
I conclude this post by sharing my achievements and progress in Survival Mode.
In Surival Mode I use **XBOT** and therefore my holiday did not affect my game results.
In the last completed season XBOT played 132 battles for me.
With **70 wins** I received **25K GLINT** as an end-of-season reward.
I earned 131.32 SPS -20% **= 105.05 SPS** because there are XBOT fees to subtract from the earnings shown by [Splinterstats](https://kiokizz.github.io/Splinterlands/index.html)
In the current season my results are better than my results in the previous season because XBOT played more battles and had more wins (100 wins VS 70 wins).
Personally I am much more interested in playing than earning SPS using XBOT and if it were up to me I would completely remove bots from Wild Format and Survival Mode but as long as there are bots in these formats I will also use bots and of course I will only use them as long as I am earning money.
I hope I have given you useful information and some interesting thoughts and thank you for taking the time to read this post :)

# Vacanze finite: si torna a combattere nell’Arena di Splinterlands

Sono passati 15 giorni dal mio ultimo post su Splinterlands perchè sono stato in vacanza con la mia famiglia per 10 giorni.
La mia vacanza è stata molto bella e molto rilassante ma adesso che è finita ho ripreso la mia stressante routine lavorativa (purtroppo) ma per fortuna ci sono Hive e gli Hive-based games ad alleggerire le mie giornate.
Tra gli Hive-based game a cui gioco Splinterlands occupa un ruolo importante perchè mi diverto molto a giocare anche se solo nelle modalità di gioco human-friendly (Modern Format, Frontier Format, Brawls e Tournaments) perchè non mi piace giocare contro i bots.

Le mie modalità di gioco preferite sono tre: **Modern Format**, **Frontier Format** e **Brawls**.
Mi piacerebbe giocare anche qualche torneo e se nei prossimi giorni avrò
