We recently had the WinterFest 2025 update that brought changes to the game's theme, making it more Christmassy on the game screen, a new modifier called Frostbite, which gives more immersion to the game and the festive Winterfest skins to celebrate Christmas dates. Shortly after this update, in this update today, on December 18th, we had the implementation of two new features.
The first was something that many Splinterlands players had been waiting for and asking for for a long time, which are Avatars, with the possibility of customization with a gigantic combination of appearances. Next we have the arrival of something that has the capacity to be simply revolutionary for the card games market in general, which is Exemplar, which will give you the ability to customize a card to be your representative within the battles of Splinterlands. If you are also curious about these news, come check it all out now!
I'll be much appreaciated if you Upvote, Reblogs or give any Tips ( PIZZA 🍕, PGM 🎮, LOLZ 😆, ALIVE ❤️, etc ). Thanks and have good reading! 🍀
[ENGLISH VERSION]
Customize your Avatar!
The first of the new features that have arrived to change the way you interact with Splinterlands are Avatars. Now, as a player, you will be able to create and customize the way you identify with the entire Splinterlands ecosystem, the way your character will appear in your guild chat and in battles in ranked matches.
It would be expected that as this is the first time that the avatar has been introduced in Splinterlands with the customization option, that it would be something initially more limited in terms of options. Especially because there would be the whole issue of implementing these new features into the game's ecosystem, which would need to adapt to change and adapt.
To the surprise of players, the customization options are MANY and when I say that it's because the number of possible combinations is quite large. There are 6 pages for customization: Feature, Extras, Outfits, Hats, BG and Frame. The surreal thing is that on each page there are a series of customization options, for example, in the Features tab you can choose the face, hair, eyebrows, others, nose and boa. In outfits, you can choose one of 8 free clothes and one of 4 colors, so in terms of clothes alone there are 32 different options, and there are still clothes to unlock.
In the extras tab, you can choose accessories and extras that, as the name suggests, are additional to your avatar. Among them we have: earrings, scars, tattoos and accessories. Now, in addition to also having hats, background and frame to choose from, you can select one of the available bloodlines to change your character. Currently the game offered 4 options to choose from, which are: Human, Elves, Orc or Drawf. If you liked it, go to the game, dedicate a few minutes and I'll make your unique character for Splinterlands!
Edit and Use your Copy!
I really liked the addition of Avatar, but when I started reading about what Exemplar would be, I realized that this has the possibility of revolutionizing the card market and NFTs in general. For those who haven't yet checked out what the copy is, it basically allows you to become a card within the game. While the Avatar is the visual and customization part, the copy gives the effects to your card. I found this implementation surreal because it allows for a level of customization never seen before, starting from the appearance of the card and going down to the most specific details, I don't remember this being possible in any other card game.
The Exemplars will have a points system in which the player will distribute the statuses for all available attributes, so they will start by choosing the element, how much of each of the attacks (bow, mage, melee), defensive attributes such as shield and HP and also the speed. The crazy thing is that the copy will also have a level system that will use glint to climb and get more Skill Points that are also used to unlock the character's skills. This system promises to revolutionize games and to understand better just by using it first to know what is good to level up and what are the best strategies.
