Compared to my exceptionally strong performance last season, this season has been, in many ways, the complete opposite. It took until well past the halfway point of the season for me to unlock Modern Division 5—though I actually unlocked it two days ago, I couldn't share the update sooner as I was busy celebrating Diwali over the weekend. Last season, I earned a substantial amount of Glint—500k in total—which was more than double my previous personal best. I had hoped to maintain that level of performance, anticipating that within 4–5 such seasons, I would be able to upgrade all my cards to their maximum required levels. However, my performance this season has been quite average; for instance, while I maintained a 70% win rate at the midway point last season, my win rate this season is hovering between 20% and 50%. Furthermore, I have only just reached Division 5, whereas at this same stage last season, I was already battling in Division 4. This slower progress has also impacted my in-game earnings: while I managed to earn as much as 1,800 Glint from a single battle last season, my average earnings per battle this season are currently around 1,000–1,100. That, in short, is my growth report for this season.
Now that I have finally unlocked Division 5, I’ve received some great welcome rewards—most notably 4,000 Glint, which were granted all at once upon reaching this division. This wasn't the case in the previous gaming system; back then, you only earned Glint by winning individual battles, with no extra rewards for unlocking new tiers. In this new gaming mechanism, however, you still earn Glint with every battle victory, but you also receive an additional bonus of Glint whenever you unlock a new division. On top of these 4,000 Glint, I have also received 5 minor chests and 2 major chests.
From 5 minor chests, I pulled a total of 3 cards, along with 1 Alchemy charge and 1 Legendary Potion charge. Among these 3 cards is a Rare—one of my personal favorites—which I’ve already upgraded to Level 3. At this level, it gains the 'Fury' ability, allowing it to deal double attack power against cards with the 'Taunt' ability. Since its base melee attack is 5, a 'Fury' strike translates to 10 melee damage! I often pair this card with a Legendary Archon, whose special ability grants it both 'Double Strike' and 'Swiftness.' This means that not only does a 'Taunt' card take double damage, but any other card that ends up facing the 'Grove Doomblade' also suffers significant damage. Additionally, I received 2 Common cards from the Death element, both of which I have already upgraded to higher levels. One of them, with a mana cost of 7, possesses the 'Final Rest' ability at higher levels; this prevents enemy cards from triggering abilities like 'Resurgence,' 'Resurrect,' or 'Rebirth.' With a bit of clever play, you can certainly devise some excellent strategies using these cards. Additionally, I received 3 Alchemy Potion charges and one basic common card from 2 Major Chests. Overall, I am satisfied with this welcome loot. :)
Splinterlands isn't an easy place, but that's what makes it even more fun. A perfect strategy takes into account many factors, including stats, abilities, rulesets, mana caps, and more. That's why it's even more important to consider all these factors when developing a strategy. Add good cards to your deck, but also work on improving your strategies, and strive to win as many battles as possible!🔥
