Do you agree with the upcoming stats update on Prince Rennyn? (Splinterlands and SBI Giveaway #9)

A balance change in the Splinterlands

Ever since the game started, the developers behind the Splinterlands have always made it clear that they want players to be able to enjoy a fun and balanced game. In a trading card game, this means ensuring that no single card is so powerful that they render the rest of the cards on the deck useless and/or obsolete.

So, it's no surprise that the Splinterlands announced that they will be changing the stats for Prince Rennyn, arguably the most powerful summoner and all-around OP card in the game, in an effort to make him "a bit less dominant".

The change is taking place today and will alter the card's buffs from the current [+2 Health, +1 Range] to it's new [+1 Health, +1 Range, +1 Speed] buffs. So, the card isn't exactly being nerfed. After all, the loss in health points is being replaced by additional speed points. Nonetheless, this is going to alter how players use him moving forward. And as part of the Earth Splinter, whose strength lies in their health, this could be a game-changer.

This made wonder how players feel about the upcoming change in Prince Rennyn's stats.

The Poll Question:

Do you agree with the upcoming stats update on Prince Rennyn?


  • Yes. He is really an OP card, changing his stats is the only way to address him.

  • Yes. I don't really agree with changing his stats, but at least something is being done.

  • NO. He may be an OP card, but changing his stats is not the way to go.

  • NO. He is not the most OP card in the game. Balance Lord Arianthus, first.

  • It doesn't matter. Prince Rennyn does not affect my gameplay.

  • I don't play Splinterlands (a.k.a. Steem Monsters).

  • I have something else to say...

I'm mostly neutral about the whole thing. I haven't played the card. So My experience is limited. But we have to consider that there is one self-healer, two tank healers and one card with the ability Strengthen meaning we could see some pretty powerful healing based played without the current change.

So I'd say it is more of a re-balancing than actual nerfing. The speed can be a good advantage too with Javelin Thrower, Brownie, Spirit of the Forrest , Creeping Ooze and Trample ability of Rexxie.

I recently sold all of my Steem Monsters cards.
Maybe I will get back to the game somewhere in the future, but I don't know.
Even if I would not have sold all of my cards, Prince Rennyn would not have affected my gameplay, because I did not had Prince Rennyn in my card collection.

I wish they'd done more to make his less dominant. I come across him frequently in the lower leagues and he is practically unbeatable. Most times.

I think fixing the cards is the right thing to do. Not everyone can afford buying the powerful summoners and they don't drop for me when I open packs. I'm still waiting on the Exploding Dwarf fix between level 4 and 5. 🤞

I'm still at the lower leagues. I don't have prince and never faced and opponent that had prince. So, I probably don't have enough knowledge of his abilities :)

I own 1 card and I've faced opponents using it against me few times. 1 card is too low level for Silver/Gold leagues. But most of those who play it should be Diamond tier at least. It is best to let time decide if these changes were the right thing to do.

I don't own Prince Rennyn and I've rarely faced him up to this point, so he doesn't really affect my gameplay right now.

Before i didn't know about this aspect and nor i hold this Card, but in general sense in my opinion balanced stuff is better than dominant. Let's hope that whatever the change is it will add more value. Stay blessed.

Over-all there has been minimal changes to the stats of cards but realistically I always expected some cards stats to change. The devs / creators of the SM game have done a great job thus far with getting card stats right the first time but its unrealistic of us to think they can get them all right the first time.

In short..... I have no problem with the changes.
