Here's my 39th Splinterlands Guild Brawl Report for PIZZA 2 The Deep Dish. πβοΈπ‘οΈ
It's the β¨π β¨Gold Foil Chaos Legion Fray no.12β¨π β¨ for the 22nd week in a row for me.
The table below shows my accumulated tally of battles in Fray 12 since I first took it up π. πππ
Current Tally for the past 21 brawls | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Number of BattlesβοΈ | Winsβ | Lossesβ | Drawβ | Overall Win % βοΈ |
83 | 47 | 31 | 5 | 56.6% |
Overall win % went down slightly even with the 50-50 win/loss for my previous brawls. Oh well, that's just how Math works π€£. My rates have been really positive overall lately. I haven't really experienced a huge string of crushing defeats. Hopefully, I don't jinx myself after saying this π .
I managed to earn enough Merits for another Gladius pack. Nothing special in this one unfortunately, just the bare minimum of 1 Rare and 4 commons, and not a single Gold Foil to boot too. That's just sad π. Gladius packs are still good anyway, as the cards within all give pretty good Collection Power. So I'll take some consolation in that.
π€π»ππ€π»ππ€π»π Fingers crossed for a Gold Foil (Legendary!!!) I hope π€£π€ for my future Gladius packs. (or any packs/rewards chest for that matter π)
As usual, I make an extra effort to rent β¨Gold Foil Chaos Legionβ¨ cards that align with my daily focus during Guild Brawl days.
Hopefully Lady Luck continues to shine on me πππ and I don't get too many weird ruleset combinations which will completely screw up my limited Gold Foil selection of cards. (π€£ yeah, that's how terrible I am, to have to rely on luck for my wins)
- Some thoughts I have about my exploits in the Gold Frays. ππ€
I feel like I'm winning because my opponent has even less Gold Foil cards available to him than I do. Personally, I find it slightly flattering to me. The teams I field are definitely not the absolute strongest, but more of what is available to me.
It also doesn't account for HOW I win some of the fights though. I've realised that a fair number of them are from opponents who just gave up and did not even face me in battle. βοΈβοΈβοΈ
My choice of picking up the Gold Foil frays is to simply give the Guild a better chance at accumulating more wins, seeing especially that IN THE PAST, many Gold Frays were left empty. Even if I were to lose everything and win just 1 match, it would definitely help in securing a better finishing position overall. π₯π₯π₯
I've joined the Pizza 2 Guild over at the PIZZA DISCORD and was introduced to the world of Guild Brawls in Splinterlands. It has been an interesting experience to say the least. ππ₯³π
Guild Brawls are generally the same as Battles, but with some minor tweaks (of which I'll save for another day). Lets get right down to business as I analyze my brawls. π§βοΈπ‘οΈ
With all that said, lets FINALLY get down to a review of my battles π, or in some cases where my opponent fled ππ»π¨ - non battles π¨.
βοΈπ‘Let the Battles CommenceβοΈπ‘
WON.
Upon noticing it was a Poison Ruleset, I immediately opened Peakmonsters to rent a Gold Foil Forgotten One. This is the ONLY card in Chaos Legion with IMMUNITY in the BRONZE League. That makes him the single most powerful card when it comes to Poison rulesets.
My last minute rental was definitely worth it. The Forgotten One (to no surprise at all) won me the match. The opponent put up a really good fight with his high DPS lineup, with the strategy of burning me down ASAP before the poison could wreck his team. Fortunately, the Forgotten One also comes packed with great defensive and offensive stats.
Victory for me! Hail the Forgotten One! π
WON.
As luck would have it, it was another POISON ruleset! β οΈπ¦ With the Fire splinter also available for use, it was a no brainer to field my newly rented Gold Foil Forgotten One again.
As expected, this was another walkover for me. The Forgotten One shines exceptionally well in Poison rulesets with low mana limits. With the limited number of units an opponent can field, there is just about nothing that can counter it.
Another resounding victory! All Hail The Forgotten One once more! π₯³
πππMy Overall Resultsπππ
A perfect score for me this week! 2 WINS and no losses! π―π₯³
This was really satisfying. Of course, for some reason, there were only 2 opponents who took part in this Gold Foil fray, so I don't think I was really tested much at all this time round.
I was also EXTREMELY LUCKY with the rulesets and my snap decision to rent a Gold Foil Forgotten One. The amount I spent on the rental for that single card was definitely worth it. π€
I feel it's important that Guilds are able to fill out all the frays - even the significantly "harder" Gold ones. It is very likely that most guilds (at our level) skip the Gold frays completely, or are unable to even field a team if they've got no Gold Foil Summoners. This therefore leads to a better overall score.
π₯π₯π₯Final Standingsπ₯π₯π₯
PIZZA 2 Guild managed to finish in 3rd place! πππ
We managed to finish on the podium! Usually I would be quite happy with such a finish. However, I felt that we should have done so much better. There were 12 battles which were thrown away - all because players completely didn't show up to submit their fights at all. π€¦π»ββοΈπ
Just 6 wins and 3 wins separated us from 1st and 2nd place respectively. Had we won even half of those wasted 12 battles, we would easily have been first. This is most disappointing indeed. It also shows that Guild Brawls are a team effort, and that we're only as strong as the weakest link. Hopefully we'll do better next time. π°
Great Job from everyone who took part in the Guild Brawls! I'm proud of you all! ππ»ππ»ππ»
