In this series, I analyze the top battles of the day to reveal which summoners and monsters are most successful for a given <a href="https://docs.splinterlands.com/gameplay/leagues">league and format</a>. What better way to improve our [Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com/) skills than to study what the best players are doing?
For those of us who buy, rent, or rent out cards, I'm also hoping that this series can inform us of which cards to acquire for maximum effectivenes.
Stay tuned for a new report to be published daily, each covering the <a href="https://docs.splinterlands.com/gameplay/learn-to-play#watching-battles">top battles</a> for a different league and format!
