I just saw my results in the last Brawl and my performance was not as I expected because out of the 8 battles I participated in, I only won 3 of them so my contribution was only 9 points this time.
It's been less than 1 month since I joined the Guild Under New Management, the reason I joined a guild is because it will give me a bonus to my earnings in ranked battles and because Brawls reward players with SPS and Merits. SPS will be useful to increase my profits in the season and Merits will be useful for me to buy Gladius Cases that will give me Gladiator cards and these will be useful in Brawls and even in tournaments and ranked battles depending on the rules that are in the battle or the summoner I use.
Every player in my guild who participated in the Brawl received 74.13 SPS and 5,395 merits. Out of the 21 members who participated in the Brawl, I came in 15th place, so my result wasn't that bad, but I need to improve in the next Brawls because the better my result, the more SPS I'll earn since I'll contribute more points to the guild.
My collection of Gladiator cards in Splinterlands is still weak, but that's because I recently joined a guild and also because I recently returned to playing Splinterlands, so I've accumulated few merits so far to buy Gladius Cases.
Today I'm going to buy 5 Gladius Cases to increase my collection of Gladiator cards and I hope to get some good cards, especially Quora Towershead because I don't have any of her cards yet and she's one of the strongest Gladiator cards in the game.
- Each Gladius Case costs 2,000 merits and each one will give me 5 Gladiator cards, at least 1 of which will be Rare or higher.
My guild has a Guild Store at level 7 and this means that I can buy Blood Stones to increase my chances of getting legendary cards in Gladius Cases, but I have few merits and so I won't spend on Blood Stones now, I'll leave it for the future when I only need legendary cards to complete my collection of Gladiator cards.
Even without using any Blood Stones I still got 1 legendary card and it was one of the ones I wanted the most because it has the Tank Heal ability and it's one of the abilities I like to use the most in my battles.
This is my current collection of Gladiator cards in Splinterlands, it's still small and weak but in a few months I'll have made great progress and the more evolved my cards get, the more useful they'll be in Brawls, Tournaments and Ranked Battles.
The best card I've gotten so far was Sola Ranjell, she's a monster in the life deck and has 4 very useful abilities in battles.
The Bloodlust ability is the ability that all Gladiator cards have and it will increase the stats of the monster that has it by +1 when that monster defeats an opponent's monster.
The Tank Heal ability makes Sola Ranjell heal the allied monster positioned in the first position by 1/3 of its maximum life 1x per round.
The Cleanse ability makes Sola Ranjell remove all Magic Debuffs from the allied monster that is in the first position.
The Strengthen ability makes Sola Ranjell increase the life of all allied monsters by +1 while she is in battle.
In my opinion, Gladiator cards are great choices in battles and since Splinterlands allowed the use of them in ranked battles and tournaments (depending on the summoner the player uses or the rules in the battle) I decided to make it my goal to have all my Gladiator cards at maximum level so that I have more strategies to use.
