Hello, Splinterlands warriors! How’s your strategy shaping up today? If you haven’t sharpened it yet, don’t worry! There’s a fantastic feature in Splinterlands that allows you to practice your battle skills without the fear of losing rating or resources. Because let’s be honest—there’s nothing more frustrating than testing a strategy in ranked battles only to see it completely backfire and tank your rating!
As the saying goes, "experience is the best teacher." In Splinterlands, success isn’t just about owning expensive cards or getting lucky with legendary pulls (though that definitely helps), but also about strategy, adaptation, and understanding game mechanics. The updated Training Mode replaces the old Practice Mode, offering a fresh and stress-free way for both newcomers and seasoned players to experiment.
Why Training Mode is a Game-Changer
Here’s why this feature will make your Splinterlands life much easier:
✅ Choose Your Opponent’s Level: Face enemies with different difficulty levels so you can improve at your own pace. Start at "noob" level and gradually work your way up—no more crying in the corner after losing too much!
✅ No Risks: Unlike ranked battles, Training Mode doesn’t affect your rating or consume resources. So even if you fail multiple times? No worries—nobody’s judging!
✅ Perfect for Strategy Refinement & Card Testing: Ever wanted to buy a card but weren’t sure if it was the right fit? Try it first with the Ghost Card feature! You’ll get access to all cards in the game, like a "test drive" but for Splinterlands.
How Training Mode Works
Training Mode provides a simple way to fight AI-controlled opponents with various difficulty levels. Here’s how you can start:
I. Accessing Training Mode:
- Go to the top-right section of the battle history screen.
- Click on "Training".
- A menu will appear with options for difficulty level, card format, and your opponent’s Summoner level.
II. Setting Up the Battle:
- Choose the opponent’s difficulty level. I usually go with MEDIUM—not too easy, but still challenging.
- Select the battle format, such as Modern or Wild. You can also enable Ghost Cards to test cards you don’t own yet.
- Adjust the Summoner level limit based on your needs. This determines which cards will be available during the fight.
Once everything is set, hit start and see if your strategy is solid or needs serious adjustments.
My First Training Mode Experience
In my first Training Mode battle, I used my own cards, but the bot opponent turned out to be quite tough! Since I selected a high Summoner level, the opponent’s cards were also high-level, making the battle even more intense. Unfortunately, my strategy wasn’t well-suited for this match, and I ended up losing.

Tips to Maximize Training Mode
To make the most out of Training Mode, try these strategies:
I. Experiment with Ghost Cards:
Use Ghost Mode to test rare and expensive cards before buying them. There’s nothing worse than spending a fortune on a card, only to realize you don’t know how to use it effectively. This way, you can "try before you buy."
Test new combos to discover the best synergies. Who knows? You might stumble upon a secret strategy that leaves your opponents scratching their heads!
II. Analyze Your Battles:
Pay attention to battle stats and results. Does your team struggle in the early game? Is your strategy too risky? By fighting repeatedly in Training Mode, you can refine your deck and learn how different rulesets and mana caps affect your gameplay. Sometimes, the winner isn’t the one with the strongest cards, but the one who understands the rules best.
Try unusual strategies! If they work, it feels amazing. If they don’t? Just tweak and try again—no harm done.
Conclusion: A Stress-Free Training Ground!
One of the coolest features in Training Mode is the ability to use Ghost Cards—cards you don’t own but can play with in this mode. Think of it like trying on clothes in a fitting room before buying them. Why waste money on a card that doesn’t fit your playstyle?
Training Mode is a must-try feature for all Splinterlands players. Whether you’re a beginner still learning the ropes or a veteran looking to fine-tune your strategies, this mode offers the perfect environment to grow.
With customizable bot opponents and Ghost Card access, the possibilities for skill improvement are endless—all without the pressure of ranked battles.
