# Big Brain Plays

## 🐾 Leave No Stone Unturned

If you see any HoF tombstone with 0 tribute, be sure to tribute at least 1 token there. ☝️

Then you will become the 100% shareholder and enjoy full amount of rewards. Certainly, competition will follow. 🧐

## 🏆 Pay-to-Win

It's not optimal to repeatedly start new rounds with 0 addon purchase. Best to calculate a target lifescore and top up just enough to get to that score. 🎯

## 💎 The Top 50 for All Rewards

The top 50 moves fast - make sure you stake on somebody that stayed in the top 50. 🤨

 When it's out, your stake is wasted. 😭

## 🧐 The 10th for Airdrop

For Airdrop, you might want to be the 10th, not the 1st. ☝️

Reward amount is the same for all top 10, whereas you get a bigger share if the TVL is smaller, namely when you are 10th in the TVL leaderboard. 😏

{% hint style="danger" %}
**🙃 While you are the 10th, watch out for --**

1. More players stake on 10th and push it up in ranks - so you win less)😥
2. Another incarnation overtakes the 10th so that the one you staked becomes 11th - so you win nothing 😭
3. Your staked incarnation falls out from top 50 😱
   {% endhint %}

## 🤡 Live Your Own Life

Get to **STAKE** on the winning incarnation is good. 😌

What's better is to **OWN** the winning incarnation. 🤫

You take the **entirety of 20%** while many other stakers split the rest 80%. 😘 Moreover, you can stake on your own incarnation, too. 

## 🏠 Tribute to My House

Winning is determined by TVL. Share is determined by [**Coinday**](/litepaper/game/rewards-summary.md). 

That means, if you support your tributed incarnation in the last minute, your share wouldn't increase.😅However, your contribution does help it to rank up in the leaderboard! 

## 🤫 Tombstone is Your Mining Rig

High-achieving incarnations will produce high lifescore [**tombstones**](/litepaper/assets/tombstone-nft.md). 

These tombstones could be among top 50 - eligible for tributing - and receives Airdrop rewards hourly. 🥳 You can consider it as a miner and you buy some in NFT marketplaces. 

## 👀 Save for Later

A possible strategy is to keep your $DEGEN across to next season. 

At season start, the leaderboard is empty and holders' $DEGEN has been spent on prev season.🤫 If you have big bags of $DEGEN at that point, you can even get 10/10 of all Airdrops. 🥵
