So today was another successful Guild Outing for both our Guild EMP and me. I won seven games and lost only one, totaling 21 points.
The goal was to get all 24 points, but the second-to-last opponent simply had a better strategy, better cards, and used his Gladius cards more effectively.
When playing against a gladiator card, your goal is to keep it from hitting bloodlust, and when using it, your goal is to rack up bloodlust, because your chances of winning increase when your card hits two or three bloodlust levels.
This opponent understood the assignment and won. Unfortunately, I attempted to use fly to counter bloodlust, but failed miserably. But I learned a lesson from the one game I lost.
The Lost game

To console myself, I remind myself that the person had a better summoner, and their Guild finished second, while ours finished fourth.
It was incredibly disappointing to lose.
I played some really good games and even outperformed myself. But I hate losing because I want to always help my guild gain points.
Everyone wants to win in order to increase their earning potential, including me, so I pay close attention to every detail.
More Win, More Reward
Another reason I aim for flawless outings is that they are delegation rewards for the top three players, and I usually aim for these rewards to increase my ranked-battle SPS earnings per game, and fortunately for me, I finished fourth and received the 10k delegation, sweet.
However, we were disappointed that we were unable to finish higher. This time, we finished fourth, one spot lower than in our previous Guild outing. We finished fourth this time, down from third the previous time. I think our personal best has been to finish second.
SPS
The good news is that we earned some nice SPS rewards. 78 SPS this time and over 5k gladius cases. So I went shopping quickly and was able to get three cases.
Gladiator cards Upgrades
I opened them and received nothing special, but I was pleased to upgrade my Katrelba Gobson to level 5. It now has the snare ability. It means I can hit a fly card and not miss.
Although I don't use the Kat that much these days and that's simply because anyone can just put a card with thorn at the back and this will easily kill off the katrelba. So I try to avoid letting my opponent predict me.
Also, my Renelor Cleaver is now level 4, with no changes to its abilities other than the addition of +1 melee attack. This is ideal for me.
I can easily gain that extra advantage, which can go a long way. So here you have it. I am hoping we can push for second and first place in the next Guild outing; we are completely due.
