First Brawl
HODL MY DEC just finished up our very first #Brawl in #Splinterlands and man did we show up strong!
We managed to fill 9 Frays and everyone who participated had this as their first Brawl experience.
How Did We Do?
Check that out, we rocked the house and took 2nd place!
A few of our members were trying battles outside of their normal league and still managed a win. Plus anyone doing a Chaos Legion only battle was not used to just those limited cards.
Guild management is very pleased with the results.
What Did We Learn?
One major thing that we learned being new to all of this is that while we did earn Crowns for the guild, we were not eligible for any Merits because you need a level 1 Shop to unlock that earning. We also found out that you cannot upgrade your building while in an active Brawl session.
Our guild members took to the cause and scraped together donations to build the Store within 24 hours of the Brawls being over so that we could starting earning Merits for all future Brawls. That is another #Play2Earn feature of this game.
We also learned that a lot of the competition comes with a full deck including maxed Epic and Legendary cards for the Silver level. Some fights we had to try out best with a partial deck and at times still secured a win, but a lot of the time the higher level cards did indeed give the enemy an edge.
What Is Next?
Other than to continue to perform well and try to keep a top 3 spot as often as possible, we need to focus on upgrading our Barracks now so that we gain the level 1 "Home Field Advantage" which could be a deciding factor in some battles when the RNG is removed for same speed monsters.
We also could attempt to fill other specialty Frays such as Gold Foil Only or Alpha/Beta Only, but that will require a particular new member to join us who has the deck available to give it a try.
... Speaking of which ...
We Are Recruiting
If anyone is interested in joining a guild, we do have spots open.
Currently our members are more at the Bronze/Silver level and we are welcoming more of the same, but we will also accept higher levels who want to flex a bit. If you have a deck that puts you into those niche Frays, that would be a huge bonus as well!
We are looking for active players both in the game as well as in our Discord. Communication helps make it a community and not just some guild tags on random players.
If you want to join our guild, pop into our Discord and let us know you are interested and found us from this post.
Currently we have a Level 2 Hall, Level 2 Lodge, Level 1 Arena, Level 1 Store, and are working on our Barracks.
