So today was actually a really good day in #Splinterlands for me. Not gonna lie, the grind has been kinda slow past few days, but today things finally clicked a bit and I managed to push from Modern Gold 2 to Gold 1.
It might not sound like a huge jump for some people, but for me this felt like a solid progress. Gold league is not easy anymore. Players are smarter, cards are stronger, and mistakes gets punished very fast. So reaching Gold 1 again felt like yeah, Iβm doing something right atleast.
Honestly, the climb today was not super long, but it was intense. Every match felt like it actually matters. One loss and you go backwards, one win and you feel like a genius lol.
I played mostly Modern Ranked battles, trying to stay consistent with my lineup. I didnβt experiment too much today because I didnβt want to risk dropping again. I just sticked to what works for me.
Some matches were easy wins, but a few were really close. Like those battles where last monster survives with 1 HP.
Today I focused more on safe and balanced lineups instead of risky plays. I noticed that in Gold league, people punish aggressive setups if you donβt think properly.
So I did, Strong front tank, Good backline damage and sometimes sneak or snipe depending on rules.
Also, I tried to actually read the rulesets properly this time (which I sometimes ignore lol). That helped a lot honestly.
There was one match where I almost messed up because I forgot about a ruleset but somehow still won.
Finally after few wins in a row, I got the promotion screen. That feeling is always nice. Even if itβs just one league up, it still feels rewarding.
Gold 1 looks much better than Gold 2 also π
This also means better rewards, so thatβs always a big motivation to keep pushing.
After reaching Gold 1, I got 15 chest rewards, which is honestly pretty decent.
Now this is where things get interesting. Before opening them, I used potions to increase my chances of getting better rewards. I always feel like opening chests without potions is kinda waste.
So yeah, I went all in with potions and started opening.
The opening was actually fun. Not gonna say it was insane rewards, but still good enough to make me happy.
I got some useful cards, a bit of resources and overall decent value.
Nothing super crazy like legendary jackpot or something, but still worth it. Sometimes itβs about consistency, not luck.
I always get a bit excited opening each chest like βmaybe this one is something big" but yeah, mostly normal rewards.
Overall, today was a solid progress day.
Ranked up to Gold 1
Got 15 chests
Even though gameplay wasnβt super long, it was effective. And honestly, sometimes itβs better to play less but play smart.
Gold league is getting harder, and I can feel that I need better cards or smarter strategy to go higher. But step by step I think I can reach even higher leagues.
Now the goal is simple:
Stay in Gold 1
Try pushing towards Diamond again
But I also need to be careful not to drop back. That happens very easily if you lose few matches in a row.
So yeah, slow and steady grind continues.
Even a small rank up can feel really satisfying in #Splinterlands. Itβs not always about big wins or crazy rewards, sometimes itβs just about showing up, playing smart, and improving slowly.
Today was one of those days.
Letβs see what happens tomorrow, maybe better rewards, maybe tougher matches.
Anyway, that was my grind today. Please do give your reviews in the comments section below. I would really appreciate it :)
I'll be back with another one soon. So do follow me if you want to stay updated. Till then, Stay Happy and Stay Hydrated.
