A brand-new test of endurance has arrived in Splinterlands Survival Mode is here!
Are you ready to put your cards on the line and see how long you can last?
This high-stakes mode introduces a unique challenge where defeated cards enter a cooldown period, making them unusable elsewhere until the season ends or the cooldown expires.
Alongside this thrilling new mode, Leaderboards have been reworked, offering Glint rewards to the top 100 players in every league. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer, Survival Mode promises to shake up the game with fresh strategies, intense battles, and a chance to prove your mettle.

Experience
This is an exciting new game mode that offers something fresh for everyone. It introduces a unique way for players to use their cards, breathing new life into their collections. The rules of this mode will also make cards on the market more active and valuable, as they can now be utilized in innovative ways.
For long-time players who have been collecting cards since the beginning, this is a fantastic opportunity. They can finally put their accumulated collections to good use in this engaging and dynamic new format.

Graphics
I was truly impressed by the stunning graphics and overlay of this game mode. The visuals are so appealing that even while waiting for an opponent to join, you won’t feel bored. It’s a beauty for the eyes!
That said, I’m still getting familiar with the new format for selecting summoners and cards, as well as the updated filters. It’s a bit confusing, but I’m sure it’ll become better with a little more practice. Overall, great job on this update. It’s a fantastic addition to the game!
