🔥 Day 10 in Splinterlands: Frontier Frustration, But Grateful for a Summoner Pull!
It’s Day 10 of my Splinterlands comeback, and I finally dipped my toes into Frontier Mode.
Spoiler: it’s no joke.
The difficulty ramped up fast, and with limited Energy Capture Rate (ECR) and only a few wins, I wasn’t able to complete the 6 daily reward chests. But hey—I still got 4 reward cards, and I’m not complaining.
🎁 Reward Highlights:
🎉 Pulled Marlai Singariel, a rare Water summoner from Frontier rewards!
🃏 3 more common cards (nothing flashy, but still useful for combining)
Couldn’t complete all 6 chests due to low ECR and tough matchups
Still, just getting a summoner feels like a step forward for my collection, especially since I’m experimenting more with Water Splinter.
🔥 Back to the Modern Format Grind
While Frontier was punishing, I went back to Modern Format to farm Glint more efficiently. My target was 2,250 Glint, just enough to exchange for 3 rare cards without exhausting my ERC.
I stayed mostly within the 1,000 rating range and used my Bronze-level maxed Fire Splinter, which I’m slowly getting comfortable with. It's far from meta, but it's consistent for my current level.
🎯 Lessons from Day 10:
Frontier Mode is rewarding, but energy-hungry and not for the faint of heart
Getting a summoner like Marlai is rare and super valuable
Farming Glint with ERC awareness in Modern is more sustainable for now
💬 Question for You:
Do you focus more on Modern, Wild, or Frontier for Glint and rewards?
What’s your ECR management strategy for maximum Glint gain?
Congratulations on that summoner, it's quite useful in the Modern format. I couldn't agree more with you about Frontiers. It's often extremely frustrating, but I think it's a good thing because, assuming we're completely new players, it's better to understand that the game has a strong P2W component, that most of the time you'll be matched against stronger players, and that RNG will also be against you. Best regards.

Thank you! I totally agree Frontier really exposes how tough the climb can be, especially for newer or returning players. But hey, small wins like that summoner keep me going! 😄 Best of luck in your battles too!
