Good morning Splinterfriends and Soulkeepers!
Today we are going to talk about a recent update that saw a number of significant changes to Soulkeep!
It has been a little over a month since Soulkeep launched and one of the early ways to place high on the Tournament Leaderboard each day was a technique called "Spawn-Locking".
Spawn-Locking was where a player would use two Tarantula Towers to "stun" an enemy that shit out more enemies... Slaying Mantis is a great example of a this type of Fiend. By using two Tarantula Looms, the Slaying Mantis would be stunned just enough to be able to "Spawn" those 4 Terror Mites... but not move forward much, if at all...
This caused them to create a GIGANTIC amount of their brood and allowed the players who did it effectively... to put up STAGGERING scores... aaaaand crash the game... A LOT.
So the team at Double Coconut worked hard to remedy that little loophole, as there were some other unforeseen side effects of that technique in the higher leagues...
Now... according to the new update, the "spawn-lock" has been nullified and on top of that, spawned critters are not worth any Souls OR POINTS... so you can try and do it... but you won't run up the score!
What does this mean for the meta? Well... if you can't create a TON of creatures to blow up for a High Score... then you must make the most out of what you have, right?
In Soulkeep "Mana" earned from fiends translates to "Points"... which means...
Since we can't create a horde of baddies to destroy... The Voodoo Tower allows us to achieve 130% of what we would normally achieve by killing them...
PLEASE NOTE: THE VOODOO TOWER MUST BE THE ONE TO KILL THEM TO GET THE BONUS
With such a sudden, drastic shift to this Meta... we probably will see a small price increase... right? I mean... I bought mine when they were SUBTRACTING Mana via glitch for like $1.10 each... Probably worth $2 or so now right???
Yikes... $9.99??? That might be a bit much but I assure you - if you want to get to the top of the Leaderboard... or stay on top of the Leaderboards... You're going to need some of these!
Fortunately... CaptainDingus is here to help you out with a muuuuuch cheaper solution 😁
You can RENT a 1 BCX Voodoo Tower for just 1 DEC per day! Remember - the 1 BCX Tower is a LEVEL 7 TOWER not a Level 1 Tower!
If you want to OWN your own Voodoo Tower - I understand... but for right now, you can play all the way up to League 7 with a 1 BCX Tower... and that's just 1 DEC per day... or in other words... you can rent one for THREE YEARS for about $.75...
That's all I have for you today folks!! Thank you for reading and I would LOVE for you to join me in game!!
Naturally, after everything leading up to this moment, I do think Splinterlands and Soulkeep are some of the BEST web3 games out there!
They bring the #play2earn feature to the forefront of development as well as many opportunities for people to earn rewards - whether Player or Investor!!
