Hello Everyone! Hope you all are doing amazing and welcome to another #Splinterlands post.
Alright so today was another BIG progress day in Splinterlands and honestly I am still kinda surprised how things turned out ๐ . I started the day in Gold 1, and I was not even sure if I will rank up. Gold matches are not easy at all, like people here actually know what they are doing. But somehow, I managed to push through and reached Gold 2 ๐ฅ.
This was the rank up match that promoted me to Modern Gold 2. I have dropped the battle link at the end of the post if you wanna check it out. It was a pretty normal match. The rulesets were not that complicating. The mana cap was 46 and you could only use Earth, Death and Dragon cards. The rulesets were Melee Mayhem and Are you not Entertained?
I won the match fairly easily. One of my key units survived longer than expected (again clutch moments saving me ๐), and my damage dealers kept hitting. And then, Victory. Gold 2 unlocked.
After ranking up, I received 13 chest rewards ๐๐ฅ. Now THAT is exciting. More chests = more chances of something good. But this time I did something different. I actually used potions before opening them. I wanted to increase my chances for better loot. Iโve been saving potions for a while, so I thought this is the moment.
Opening 13 chests with potions active felt different. Like every chest felt more exciting ๐. I wonโt say I got something insane like legendary card or anything (sadly ๐ญ), but overall the rewards felt better than usual. Definitely worth using potions I think.
I also spent 10,000 glint points to open an Ultimate Chest. I was saving glint for a long time, and today I finally decided to use it. Not gonna lie I hesitated a bit. Like what if itโs not worth it? What if I get bad rewards? But then I was like okay letโs just do it.
Opening that Ultimate Chest, the feeling was DIFFERENT. Way more exciting than normal chests. Sadly, I only got potion charges from it. I am not being ungrateful or anything but I was hoping for a really good card.
Overall, today felt like a mix of smart decisions + a bit of luck.
Thatโs a lot for one day. I still feel like Iโm learning tho. Sometimes I still mess up lineups, sometimes I still ignore rulesets (yesโฆ still ๐ ), and sometimes I just get outplayed. But I can clearly see improvement. And thatโs what matters. Also, I feel like the higher I go, the more addictive this game becomes.
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.
