Hello Splinter nerds
We are close to the launch of the next mini set. I was thinking it would happen this December, but while scrolling through the chat in the Splinterlands channel, I saw Davemccoy's text, where he said it has been discussed in the town hall that even though the making of the mini set would be finished by December, they are not going to release it in December because of other factors and they are also going to announce 35 days ahead before the release so the mini set can be anytime in the year 2026!
This gives players who want to accumulate more sps to take advantage of the pump that is likely to happen because of the mini set sale time to gather more sps.
I have given up on maxing the gold foil reward cards on Emp-warden because this time, it was not designed in a way that players can easily max the gold foil; unlike the rebellion reward set, we had gold chest draws.
I have also stopped using the potions to boost the reward chest because that is also a waste of potions when all we get most time is like 3 gold out of 100 to 200 chests... Not worth it, so I will only focus on the Regular Foil, and any cards that get maxed in gold are just a bonus.
Most of the RF common cards are already in level 8, and most should be maxed in the next two seasons. The rare cards are in level 5; it is the legendary cards I will max last since they require a huge chunk of Glint.
My top 2 most used Conclave Reward cards
Mindless Thrall and Rila Fen
Mindless Thrall is a rare monster with magic attack, I love it for its speed and the oppress ability, and even though it is not maxed yet and still in level 6, I find myself using it at any given opportunity because at level 6, it has its full magic power and speed, and the only thing missing is 1 health and the relentless strike ability.
Rila Fen is my most used conclave arcana reward card, and the reason is because of its final rest ability. We all didn't know it would happen so fast that Craniax the Quick the first monster with the final rest ability, would have competitors so fast, which is even better than it.... Rila Fen also has other amazing abilities, which are likely to make it the most expensive epic reward card in the conclave reward set.
Oh yeah! I checked the price and Rila fen single BCX trade at 1dollars while the rest of the other epic reward cards trade below $0.7.
Rila Fen can stop the triggering of the bloodline tribute with its final rest and it has heal tank which helps to repair the loss health from the tank, and the echo ability which I haven't even try because I am yet to max my Rila makes it more powerful as its heal tank trigger twice and if I happen to give it stats from Eternal Tofu[ triage] it also trigger twice.
Here is a battle that shows the importance of Rela Fen in certain ruleset... In this battle, we had 3 rules, and one of the rules was Born again which let all monsters in both teams resurrect once after they are eliminated. The presence of Rila Fen makes it impossible to resurrect due to the final rest ability... The opponent was not prepared for that, but I was, so I used a tank with high health base, a monster with cleanse ability to remove negative stats, and also used a double heal tank to make sure my tank doesn't get eliminated, cos that will make my team vulnerable.
Based on the splinters available, a monster that could give me a problem if the opponent used it was Kelan Gaines with its double strike and snipe ability, and with Lorkus being used as a summoner, the opponent will give Kelan the affliction and life leech stats, so I needed to make sure to protect my team against such a tactic. Hence, the reason why I used Grimbardun Smith that can't be afflicted unless exposed and Meriput Mossmender with the echo ability got the triage from Tofu, so my defence was so hard to crack.
The opponent came with the water splinter and it was a flawless victory for me cos he could not take down any of my monsters.
