Hey guys!
I found this incredibly useful tool called Splintertools. I've been using it ever since and it's amazing! The tool I'm about to show you will upgrade your gameplay experience and help you get more wins, especially in Ranked. And all you have to do is download a browser extension that is compatible with every browser supporting Chrome extensions. It looks like a fairly new project so I'd imagine it will be even better in the future. Okay, so let's take a look.
Ingame Interface:
As you can see, there is an extra panel in between card filters and cards themselves, and it has a lot of information about your opponent. Let's unpack this.
You can see your quest in case you for some reason forgot it (happens haha), and more importantly, you can see your opponent's quest. Not the most useful information here but still, it can give you a hint that your opponent might go for the particular Element and you can be ready to counter it.
Similar Battles table shows which teams your opponent usually picks in rulesets with similar mana. It doesn't take into account other rulesets but it considers only Elements that are currently active. This shows you a pattern and preference of monsters you might be battling against.
Historical battles table, in this case, is empty. But it shows all battles (of every player) that are used in this specific ruleset. This takes into account every rule (Rules of combat, mana cap, level cap, and active elements). When available, this piece of information can be the most useful one.
This one is simple. You can see which Summoners your opponent has in their collection available for this particular ruleset.
On the upper left, just below the Battle button, you can see a percentage value. This is a prediction that gives an estimated win chance for the team you just selected. It looks through Similar Battles and Historical Battles and runs a hundred simulations to see how likely are you going to win. Of course, it isn't a certainty you will win even if you have a 100% "chance" of winning because your opponent might pick something never picked before and surprise you, also random dodges and such might turn the tide in battles.
I find this most useful against bots that will almost always pick exactly the same team in similar rulesets and basically tell you if you win or lose and this is where I've seen the most rise in my win rate.Lastly, the Save Deck button. This one is something I really want to see implemented in the game itself. This button lets you save the current team you selected. If you have enough time left to think about other options to play. You can freely delete the first team and try to make something you think will work better. If you don't, you can quickly go back to the first team you made by clicking the icon that will appear on the left from the Save Deck button and that's it. This feature is probably my favorite even tho I don't use it as often. But it gives you the freedom to experiment with more options that would be otherwise impossible.
Training Tool:
This tool has a dedicated website that offers something that can help you learn from your (or your opponents) mistakes by letting you simulate your previous battle. You can try to reconfigure your team and find better winning odds in matchups you lost. Sometimes mistakes are obvious after the teams are revealed but sometimes, you might find something working you haven't thought of before.
One thing that is absolutely great for players with smaller collections is the option on the right that says Enable All Cards. With this, you can try these same battles with cards you don't own and can help you decide if you really need to have one to boost your performance. If you see the same card helping you in a lot of matchups, you should consider buying/renting it.
Shortcuts
Conveniently devs made two shortcuts to easily go from in-game into the training tool you just saw. The first one is a place just above RUMBLE! button in every battle.
And the second one is this purple icon just above the Replay Button in your match history.
How To Use This Service
Currently, this tool is readily accessible on their website and costs only 1 HIVE per month to use. You also have an option to pay for your whole Guild to use it for 12 HIVE a month, which is a cool option to have since most guilds have more than 12 members so you can consider this a discount.
