Today I bought and opened 3 Gladius Cases from the Guild Store in the Splinterlands game. I had been accumulating Merits for a long time, so it was a special feeling be able open 3 packs at once. To be honest, there was a lot excitement in my head before opening the pack—what card will I get will I get a Rare not—these thoughts were going around.
I liked what I got after opening the pack quite a bit. Now I am sharing the whole experience in my own way.
🎁 My opinion about Gladius Case
Gladius Case is actually a special type of pack. It is not like other ordinary packs. The cards available here are Gladiator Cards—which can only be used in Guild Brawl.
I like it the most for the following reasons:
At least one Rare card is available here
The cards are very powerful
If you have the Bloodlust ability, the match can turn around
However, there is a downside—these cards cannot be sold. But still they have lot value because they are very useful in gameplay.
🃏 The cards I got
I got a total 15 cards from 3 packs. Now I am telling you one by one how I liked each card.
🔹 Whistling Damon
I got this card twice. I thought getting a duplicate was bad, but later I realized that it was actually good.
This card seemed balanced to me. Attack, speed, everything is good in between. It can be quite useful in Death splinter.
👉 By getting two, I can combine it and level it up—that's the biggest benefit.
🔹 Krash Wanderford
I've also gotten this card multiple times. It's a Fire splinter card.
I think it's an aggressive type card.
👉 It seems to be useful in fast attack strategies.
🔹 Helmet Kharafax
I've also gotten this card twice.
It's a bit of a defensive type card. Has shield, good health—meaning it can survive.
👉 Can be used as support or secondary tank.
🔹 Witch of Warwick
I found this card quite interesting.
Because it gives magic attack. We all know that magic attack ignores armor—meaning it directly deals damage to health.
👉 So it will be very useful against tough opponents.
🔹 Palidon Rakk (RARE)
I was really happy to get this card.
Its health is very high (12), so it can be easily used as a tank.
👉 It can absorb a lot of damage if placed in front.
🔹 Alfredo (RARE)
I found this card very useful.
It will be useful in small battles due to its low mana cost.
👉 Flexible card—can be fitted anywhere.
🔹 Ajax Lightfoot (RARE)
This card is good as a backline attacker.
Good speed, ranged attack—meaning it can deal damage from a safe position.
👉 It will be useful in fast gameplay.
📊 How did I like the whole pack opening?
✔ Got a few Rare cards
✔ Got duplicates (can level up)
✔ Got various splinter covers
👎 Cons:
✖ Didn't get Epic or Legendary
But this result is not bad from 3 packs.
⚔️ How will I use these cards
I have already set some strategies in my head.
🔸 Tank Strategy
I will put Palidon Rakk in front
I will put magic or ranged attacker in the back
🔸 Fast Attack
I will use Ajax Lightfoot
I will try to eliminate the enemy quickly
🔸 Magic Damage
I will attack with Witch of Warwick by bypassing armor
📈 Level Up plan
Since I got duplicate cards, I will combine them.
Leveling up:
Increases attack
Increases health
Can unlock new abilities
👉 It's very useful in the long-term.
💡 Some of my personal tips
I'll tell you something from my own experience:
Being in a guild is very important
You have to play Brawl regularly
You have to accumulate Merits
It's more fun to open packs together 😄
🎯 My feelings
Todays pack opening was quite exciting for me. Although I didnt get Legendary, I am still happy—because I got a lot usable cards.
In this game the real thing is grow slowly. You can't get everything in one day, but small progress like this eventually adds up.
All in all, today's Gladius Case opening was a good experience for me. I got some new cards, got a chance to make a strategy, and most importantly—I became more interested in playing the game.
I'll open a pack again in the future, then I hope to get something better 😊
