Season 163 vs. Season 162 Comparison
To assess the evolution of player dynamics over time, it's always important to compare the statistics of a given season with the previous one. The following table shows this comparison and calculates the differences in the number of battles and unique users between both seasons.
| Format | Battles (S163) | Battles (S162) | Difference | Unique Players (S163) | Unique Players (S162) | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brawl | 25,919 | 31,533 | -5,614 | 5,886 | 5,873 | +13 |
| Campaign | 9,796 | 9,921 | -125 | 1,190 | 1,093 | +97 |
| Challenge | 209 | 387 | -178 | 118 | 136 | -18 |
| Foundation | 4,401 | 0 | +4,401 | 1,177 | 0 | +1,177 |
| Modern | 80,217 | 86,250 | -6,033 | 3,397 | 3,536 | -139 |
| Survival | 22,910 | 21,421 | +1,489 | 920 | 970 | -50 |
| Tournament | 2,122 | 2,163 | -41 | 525 | 481 | +44 |
| Wild | 93,415 | 78,488 | +14,927 | 1,987 | 1,968 | +19 |
| Total | 238,989 | 230,163 | +8,826 | 8,967 | 8,678 | +289 |
The table shows that in Season 163, there were 8,826 more battles than in the previous season, and 289 more unique players participated. Even though the difference is relatively small, there's a 1.5% increase in unique player participation, which, regardless of the analysis scenario, represents a positive data point for the Splinterlands ecosystem.
In Season 163, 352 accounts or players participated simultaneously in both the Modern and Wild formats. In Season 162, there were 368 unique players who participated simultaneously in both Modern and Wild formats.
Evolution of Battle Count Throughout the Season
The following chart displays the total number of daily battles we recorded throughout Season 163 across all battle formats. We can clearly see that in Splinterlands, during this season, between 11 thousand and 17 thousand battles took place daily. Approximately 80% are represented by the Modern and Wild formats, shown in the graph by purple and gray colors, respectively. Only when brawls occur do these proportions change, and the number of battles for those days significantly increases. Brawls are represented by the blue color in the graph.
This graph is interesting because it shows the daily breakdown of battles that lead to the overall season statistics table results.
Analysis of Unique Players per Day by League

Financial Aspect: SPS and Glints Earned in Season 163
Undoubtedly, the statistics on how much SPS and Glints players earn throughout a season are of utmost importance to everyone.
Below are graphs showing the total number of SPS and Glints earned by players in each format. These graphs allow us to observe the daily distribution of SPS and Glints in each format, but they don't give us an idea of how much each player earns on average.
GRAPH OF SPS EARNED PER DAY IN THE SEASON
GRAPH OF GLINTS EARNED PER DAY IN THE SEASON
To get an idea of how much SPS players earn in Splinterlands, we need to sum all daily earnings for each player and perform the corresponding statistical analysis. However, creating a graph that is easy to analyze with such a wide dispersion of values is a monumental task. As my interest is focused on showing information that truly concerns the vast majority of players, I have decided to present these results in a box plot.
GRAPH OF EARNINGS IN BOX-PLOT.
A box plot (also known as a box-and-whisker plot) is a standardized way of displaying the distribution of data based on five key numbers: the minimum, the first quartile (Q1), the median, the third quartile (Q3), and the maximum. This type of graph is useful for visualizing data dispersion and skewness, as well as identifying outliers.
The central line inside the box represents the median (the 50th percentile of the data). This indicates the central value of SPS earnings for players in that format.
The bottom edge of the box is the first quartile (Q1) (the 25th percentile of the data). 25% of players earned SPS below this value.
The top edge of the box is the third quartile (Q3) (the 75th percentile of the data). 75% of players earned SPS below this value.
The height of the box (Q3 - Q1) represents the interquartile range (IQR), which contains the central 50% of the data. A shorter box indicates that most players have similar SPS earnings, while a longer box suggests greater variability.
The whiskers are the lines extending from the box and indicate the spread of data outside the IQR. Generally, they extend to the lowest and highest values within 1.5 times the IQR from the box edges. These whiskers represent the range of "typical" or expected earnings.
Outlier points are individual points beyond the whiskers and represent atypical values (outliers) in the analyzed data. These represent players with significantly higher or lower SPS earnings than most players in that format.
Thus, from the box-plot graph, it can be deduced with relative ease that, on average, players in the Wild format earn more SPS than players in the Modern and Survival formats. Similarly, it can be inferred that players earn more SPS in the Modern format than in the Survival format.
In the Wild format, most players earn roughly the same, ranging between 60 and 120 SPS, with a median of 100 SPS per season. In contrast, the Modern format shows greater dispersion, with players earning in the range of 20 to 60 SPS per season, with a median of only 8 SPS per season. In the Survival format, the dispersion is much greater, with players earning from less than 1 SPS up to 70 SPS per season, and a median of only 2 SPS.
Top 20 SPS Earners per Format - Season 163
Of course, we have the outliers, who are those players who are completely off the charts and are well represented in the upper whiskers. Here is the table with the top 20 players who earned the most SPS throughout the season.

The Splinterlands Battle Information Service
I hope the information presented is useful and well-received by the community. I feel like I've included too many graphs and numbers, which might make the post seem complicated. However, please keep in mind that I've made my best effort to present the information in the most digestible way possible. I await your comments, suggestions, and especially hope you can tell me what kind of information you consider useful and necessary to standardize these statistical reports.
All these graphs that I'm showing in the post, and those I'll show in future publications, are part of the battle information service. I'm still in the implementation process, but very soon, by sending a message to my account, you'll be able to receive these graphs and data tables as a response. You'll also be able to request specific information for each player or battle. However, the process is slow and requires a lot of time, resources, and concentration, which I don't have in abundance right now.
Thank you very much for reading and for your support...

This is a goldmine of data! I will have to dig into this tomorrow.
I loved the box plot results; they're truly revealing. The fact that 75% of Modern players earn less than 60 SPS in battles per month, and that 50% only earn an average of 8 SPS, surprised me. Of course, most Modern accounts don't seem to have a competitive deck.
Means that 75% of the modern players are probably playing with a level 1 cards... 60 SPS / 400 battles per season = 0.15 SPS per battle...
This doesn't sound right, I think these numbers are per DAY?
No, those are SPS per season. The graph is constructed from the total sum of SPS a player earns over the course of a season, so the box shows the distribution of earnings over the season. Perhaps the confusing thing is the logarithmic scale, which makes the graph difficult to interpret clearly. One conclusion I draw is that fewer than 25% of Wild players recoup the fee they pay to play in that league in a season.
I am wondering if there is some bug related to this graph, as in my experience SPS earnings per day in Wild range from 40 to about 140 SPS per day. Here are my SPS earnings in the last 24 hours, I have not claimed them yet:
I haven't really received much feedback from the community, and I haven't been able to corroborate the scripts' results with reality. It's likely that there are some bugs that weren't detected by testing. Let me run a really detailed analysis of the script now that I have some time, and with your data, I'll try to see if there's a problem or bug causing the erroneous output. I'll let you know what I get later.
Well, I will try to promote your posts in my posts and elsewhere and see if we can get a bit more feedback from the community...
Hi there!
I've just completed a thorough review of all the processes running within the service. It looks like it wasn't a bug, but rather an issue with the temporary window for scanning player battles. When I first started developing the service, I set a delay of several seconds between calls to the Splinterlands API to be respectful and avoid overloading the server. Unfortunately, that timing wasn't optimized later on.
As a result, each player was only being scanned every 24 hours. In many cases, that's just too long, and I believe it caused us to miss some battles. That's probably one of the reasons why our system reported fewer battles than, say, PeakMonsters.
I've already updated those variables, and now each player is scanned approximately every 2 hours. This should prevent battle records from being missed, making the data much more accurate and reliable. Before this change, I was only able to get 2 of your battles, but after the update, the results were much closer to reality:
-- SPS Earnings Report for seattlea (Season 164, Wild Format) --- Total SPS Earned: 103.6200 SPS Earned per Day: 2025-08-01: 13.7940 2025-08-03: 89.8260
--- Debug Summary for seattlea (Season 164, Wild Format) --- Total player battles processed (including losses): 48 - Ignored due to null JSON: 0 - Ignored due to JSON parsing error: 0 - Ignored due to 0 SPS (even if won): 0
It's likely that between August 1st and 3rd, many battles weren't recorded. However, this should now be resolved. While the data has always been precise, it wasn't exact, and with this modification, it should start to be. Unfortunately, there's no other way to verify this than by waiting a few days to see how the data evolves.
Thank you so much for your support, and we're always here to help. Cheers!
