Hello! How are you today? Reading the previous update in splinterlands, it was great news for  me. Since then, I began to prepare my mind for the new challenges coming on our way in splinterlands.
I knew there would be differences between the recent changes and the coming changes in splinterlands. 
I Just want to see the difference between the present rewards and the new ones that are about to be released in the coming season. 
Many players have enjoyed the present daily and season rewards, especially the big investors of the game. I knew of people claiming 120 loot chests every season, and that was wonderful. 
Claiming more loot chests is one of the major factors that inspired me to put more effort and resources  into the splinterlands game. 
The moment I realized that the more of your investment the more profit you make in splinterlands, I have been looking for ways to invest in the game. 
No matter the changes, the big investors always get the lion share in most of the investment. Hence, the big players will always earn more and that is the nature of business. To get more profit you need more capital. 
With These upcoming changes, I believe the new players will also enjoy much if they can also be active in the game; understanding the game techniques and mastering the game rules. 

 
I want to share this battle I played yesterday. I like the way I used mycelic slipspawn in battle. Without this monster, I wouldn't have won the battle. Looking at my opponent’s lineup, I believed he would come up with melee monsters since all melee monsters can attack; and the melee monsters would attack from behind due to the super sneak rule. 
Without mycelic slipspawn in this battle, I would have lost because all my opponent monsters would have attacked my monsters from the front of which I was trying to defend myself from behind.

RULESET

Super Sneak: All melee attack monsters  have the sneak ability

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmfL58peFpVrhKMt5uUxLYuU8S2cDXLHDTpF4QvLydvFJ3/image.png
Reverse Speed: Monsters with the lowest speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading melee. 

LINEUP

Grund: What a wonderful monster with double strike. I just love the double strike so much. You could see how effective grund was against the opponent's first monster. 
Grund wasn’t eliminated in this battle despite being the first monster in my lineup.

Sandworm: sandworm melee attack was so incredible. Hence, I just needed the sandworm melee attack to make the battle very quick. 6 melee attack was so good in this type of battle.

Dragon Jumper: though there are monsters that fit in this battle but i made a mistake selecting dragon jumper. 
I forgot again that it was a reverse rule which required monsters with the lowest speed to attack. This was the reason dragon jumper was the last monster that attacked in this battle, but its attack brought victory to my side. 

![djinn chwala.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbLkmVzycPNaqw6Yst8gWoyPq997GaGDfbfnyDkkCEpmj/djinn%20chwala.png)
Djinn Chwala: incase if mycelic slipspawn and  gloridax soldier got eliminated. I thought that most of the melee monsters would be damaged by the thorns of the Djinn Chwala.  

![gloridax soldier.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRkfn6V2B3X7vY5AHzMoYWdWWyXpNY6HzCZtwmuLrbHZz/gloridax%20soldier.png)
Gloridax Soldier: The shield ability was what I believed that it could save me from melee and ranged attack. 

![mycelic slipspawn.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbcZZzihSoV4zMagsXczZZsXWNUcveag8rEZQNgZf7ZyQ/mycelic%20slipspawn.png)
Mycelic Slipspawn: I could call this monster the sacrificial lamb. I used it as bait to lure  my opponent monsters away from their target.
