Skyweaver is a wonderful blockchain powered collectable card game that's been in open beta for less than a month. I've been playing Skyweaver for months and honestly, I'm in love. I've been able to build a massive collection of Skyweaver cards without spending a dime through some simple strategies. It's been hard containing my entheuasm for this project while it was in closed beta and now that anyone who is interested can make an account and start playing I wanted to provide a short guide. So, let's get started!
Skyweaver is designed so, for atleast your first 50 hours, you honestly dont need to own a card. After playing the tutorial you'll want to head over to Ranked to start getting your feet under you. Skyweaver doesn't reinvent the wheel. It's a Hearthstone style TCG battler with a hell of a lot more strategy. To unlock the cards to build your first deck you'll want to experiment with Discovery mode. Discovery mode gives you a randomized preconstructed deck to play against an opponent playing a similar randomized deck. While this might sound boring Skyweaver is bringing a lot of new stuff to the table and Discovery mode is the perfect place to get your bearings!
Don't let the polished graphics fool you: These battles are brutal grudge batches that wont be solved by one flashy combo. Be ready to play through a board wipe or two. This means that, moreso than in a lot of other games, skill is rewarded in Skyweaver. If you go out there and just play the cards in your hand in order you are going to get rolled. Bring strategy and cunning to the field of play and you will be rewarded with a new card of one of the elements you are playing each time you level up. That's how I built my collection without spending a cent!
If that wasn't good enough you'll quickly notice each day you'll be given a "EXP BOOST" item that will grant you 80 experience on completing your first match of the day, win or lose! This means even a loss will grant you the full +100 experience needed to level up and unlock a new card! Want me to sweeten the deal even more? THEY STACK so you can some and play a few games a few times a week and unlock handfuls of cards all at once! What's not to love?!?
A final tip: League up!
When you reach each league level you'll get roughly +400 experience which means a nice handful of cards! You can even control which cards you get first but understanding that drops correspond to only the deck you are playing when you level up (hint hint). Get out there and start building your collection folks! Skyweaveris the next Splinterlands and the cards are still just a buck or two each! How long will things stay that way? Shorter than you would like if you wait, I guarantee it!
