Splinterlands is a blockchain game where you can't always win a battle just by having strong monster cards. The Summoner card plays most important role here. A Summoner gives direction entire team and brings out the true power monsters.

When I started playing Splinterlands, I didn't fully understand the importance Summoner leveling. But after playing battles regularly, experiencing wins and losses, and playing in different leagues, I realized that leveling up Summoners is one most important plans for the future.
Why is Summoner so important?

The Summoner is the leader of the entire team. A Summoner determines—
Which elements can be used
Which level of monsters can be taken down
Whether any stat bonuses or debuffs will be added to the team

No matter how expensive powerful monsters you have if Summoner is of low level, it is not possible use full power those monsters. So the higher the Summoner level, the stronger the team will be.
Current DEC balance and preparation

I currently have 11,000+ DEC in my account. This DEC is not just game currency but an important resource for future development.
Using this DEC, I will be able to—
Buy Summoner cards
Level up Summoners
Trade on the market if necessary
I am saving DEC without spending it, because my goal is to level up right Summoner right time.
Summoner cards in my collection
Currently, I have Summoners of different elements, such as—

Fire Summoner
Water Summoner
Earth Summoner
Life and Death Summoner
These Summoners are still at low mid levels. But I understand very well that leveling them up will take my gameplay a whole new level.
What are the benefits leveling up a Summoner?

- Use of higher level monsters
As the Summoner level increases, higher level monsters can be used. As a result—
Monster health increases
Attack power increases
New abilities are unlocked
- Benefits of stat bonuses
There are many Summoners who give special bonuses to the team, such as—
+1 melee attack
+1 magic attack
+1 speed
Additional health or armor
These small bonuses can sometimes completely change the outcome of a battle.
- Additional benefits in low mana battles
Using leveled Summoners in low mana battles allows you to build a strong team with fewer cards. Choosing the right Summoner makes it possible to win many battles very easily.

I will be able to use the full power of my team.”
This confidence is often the main reason for winning battles.
