Investing in Splinterlands is a solid way to make money. On top of the fact that you'll be playing one of the most successful games in blockchain history, you'll also be able to turn your NFT assets into a source of passive income.

Thanks to multiple developments on the platform, players/investors now have multiple ways to leverage their assets for profit. Depending on your strategy, you can earn passive income from rentals or just hold assets to earn SPS tokens.

Maxed out

As I've said on multiple occasions, investing in splinterlands, much like any other investment, requires a definite strategy. I believe that everybody wants to be able to squeeze out the most profit with as little input as possible, and that's why a strategy is always helpful.

To achieve your target, you have to cut out emotions and focus on the goal. In splinterlands terms, this might mean selling off one of your favourites and replace with something else that could do the job.

That was the case with Qid Yuff and Pyre in my deck recently. On the surface of it, yeah, it's safe to say that Pyre is a "better" summoner than Qid because it boosts speed.

I mean, let's face it, speed seems more important armour piercing but in the general scheme of things, you can still get a speed boost from other monsters. Also, in reverse speed battles, Pyre is the last summoner you want to have, so it's not perfect.

At the time I sold my level 5 Pyre, it was so expensive that I took the entire money I raised from the sale to buy and max out a Qid Yuff. This move might have reduced my fighting capacity but it;

  • Increased my collection power
  • Increased my SPS airdrop
  • Gives me the opportunity to max out the fire and neutral monsters.

I'd normally not have been able to easily max out Pyre in the way I did with Qid. Also, considering that I can now max out a lot of my monsters in the fire department, did my fighting capacity reduce?

Anyway, the new challenge presented to me now is to find a way to upgrade my monsters. The market value of monsters has risen so much and while it does feel nice to see that my deck is worth thousands of dollars, it is very frustrating to note that I can't afford most of the cards.

Well, I can't afford the cards without selling them and once I sell them, it's like they go into a deflationary bottomless pit where their price in dollars just freaking rises.

Very cheap

So, at the end of the day, I'll just have to stay in my lane and find ways around this challenge. I'd love to upgrade my epic and legendaries but hell, even Rare monsters are so expensive to upgrade and the cool commons are heading to or are more expensive than $1.

Owing to this situation, I spend a decent amount of time scouring through Splinterlands for good deals that present themselves. If anybody wants to sell the monsters that I need for cheap, I want to be ready to get them out of the market.

Also, this might mean selling off some of my other fancier cards to raise the money. It's about focusing on my needs and not my wants. At the time of writing, I barely use my legendary cards at my disposal.

In fact, other than Diamond Dragon, The Vigilator, Robo-Knight, and Cornealus, I hardly use any other monster. Also, these ones are high mana costing monsters, so their use is only in specific situations.

Meanwhile, I don't think I can go three battles without using furious chicken, or creeping ooze. All I'm trying to say in essence is that, in reality, I actually depend on my less fancy cards for battles.

So, if the plan is to upgrade my fighting capacity, and invariably increase how much I earn from battles, then I'll have to sell off some of my legendaries and use the profit to upgrade my commons and rares. I can't even mention epic monsters because even the cool epics like Brownie are already out of my range.
