Rebellion: Call for Play.
Splinterlands team is well known for imparting player feedback and creating an ecosystem that is beneficial for the players. Their recent 50/50 splitting of the rebellion sales proceed with DAO just highlights their long-term commitment towards the game and the ecosystem. Their current "Anti-bot" steps on the demand of the player to make the game more fun to play but the new mechanics that will be getting launched with the Rebellion pack sets are absolutely killer and definitely a "call for play". With new abilities and new tactics launched in the game, the game has gotten the element of depth and more strategic thinking while playing.
Before the launch of the Rebellion, there was a discussion that what can be the price of the packs. Will it be $8, i.e., double the price of CHAOS packs, or will the team go for lower pricing as CHAOS packs did not sell out fully and burned in the end. In this regard, Rebellion priced at (4000 DEC + 5 Vouchers) or 5000 DEC is actually very economically priced and gives a much-needed utility to the dipping VOUCHER market too. So at least it will still remain affordable for onboarding new players.
New abilities that make the game interesting.
Rebellion Set with new abilities like Armored Strike that make a melee attack stronger, Corrosive Ward that corrodes the opponent's max armor by 2 till 0. Flank will provide reach ability to second position monster if it is in first position and finally Lookout that will results in adjacent allies taking one less damage from attackers with Sneak, Snipe, and Opportunity.
I can think of so many variations in the existing monster with these abilities and when coupled with new Rebellion set, I am sure we will find lot more creative formation by the players.
These Tactics will be amusing and call to play.
What looks really killer and that will change that how the Splinterlands is played until now is Dual Summoner and the Summoner Tactics. Apart from the dragon Summoners, Few of the Rebellion Summoners will have the ability to summon dual elements, which will give the ability to create the team from a pool of 2 elements + Neutral cards (If Ruleset permits) that can help in making a really strong team.
Here comes the Summoner Tactics that is really going to change that how the Splinterlands is played till now. This will allow Summoner cards with "Summoner Tactics " will have two different sets of buffs or debuffs that are available for the player to choose from after both players have revealed their teams. It is currently planned that most, if not all, of the Summoners that are part of the Rebellion set will have the Tactics mechanic.
I really feel that making ability choice after you see the opponent team can really change the results of many battles and definitely going to make battles more interesting.
My 2 cents
I think "Rebellion" gameplay will be really a step by the team towards "Fun2Play" aspect of the game while preserving its original mechanics of "Play2Earn" vision and model. I expect it will increase more player interaction with the game and one should really give a try to Splinterlands and play with these new abilities and tactics.
