After many days, I finally purchased some Rare draws from the Reward Shop today. It had been so long because, frankly, I was short on Glint currency. I had enough to buy one or two draws, but I wanted to buy a few more. Initially, I was saving up for Legendary and Epic draws, but I couldn't wait any longer, so I just bought the Rare ones. I've purchased these draws many times before, so I wasn't particularly eager to get new or different cards, since I need to level up the cards I already have copies of. So, whether the cards I get are different or not doesn't really matter. However, the quality of the foil does matter, since I can only use Alchemy Potions in the Reward Shop right now, which increases the chances of getting Gold cards. So, I used my Alchemy Potions in this purchase, hoping to extract some Gold cards.
I purchased a total of 3 Rare Draws, for which I had to pay 1500 Glint per draw, totaling 4500 Glint. Before opening them, I was just hoping that at least one of them would contain a gold card. But it's important to understand that the chances of getting a gold card are probably only 0.5 or 1%, and even doubling that with an Alchemy Potion still leaves the odds so low that you only win higher foil cards if you're incredibly lucky. So, it's fine to be hopeful, but thinking that using an Alchemy Potion guarantees a gold card is unrealistic.
I was pretty much satisfied with these rare cards, although the first card is quite basic, and I probably won't even use it because it lacks both health and speed, making it highly likely that an enemy card with an opportunity ability will take it down in a single hit. However, I really liked the other two cards, one of which I already owned, so now I have an extra copy. Both cards have decent basic attack power, and their abilities are unique. One has a flying ability that allows it to dodge melee attacks by 25%, and the other has an opportunity ability that targets the enemy's weakest card. Both also have decent health, armour, and speed. I don't currently have any use for their Bloodline ability since I don't have a supportive Archon, but otherwise, all the cards' stats are such that they can be quite helpful to me in different battle conditions. If I use these cards in future battles, I will share their performance with all of you.😎
