Splinterlands: After more than 150 battles in the previous division, I finally unlocked Division 4!馃敟
As I鈥檝e been saying since the start of this season, my performance has been quite average鈥攅specially when compared to how I performed last season. A clear example of this is that, early on, I managed to unlock Division 5 in just two or three days; yet, it took me the entire rest of the season to reach Division 4. I played around 200 battles, and countless times I came agonizingly close to Division 4, only to lose a string of matches and slide back down鈥攁 cycle that just kept repeating itself. Finally, late last night鈥攚ith only two days left in the season鈥擨 managed to unlock Modern Division 4. After such a long wait, I鈥檓 feeling especially happy, as higher divisions bring better rewards. Although there are only two days left in the season鈥攁nd I鈥檒l actually be out of town during this time鈥擨 still plan to play as many battles as I can from my phone, and hopefully, that will help me secure even better rewards. Along with unlocking Division 4, I have received a 5,000 Glint bonus, as well as 5 Minor and 3 Major Chests.
Along with 5,000 Glints, I also received 2 cards, 2 common scrolls, and 95 Merits from 5 Minor Chests. The scrolls are a great find, as they allow me to unbind my cards; in fact, by earning scrolls as rewards, I have now collected a total of 38 common scrolls. As for the cards鈥攂oth are common, yet they are completely distinct in terms of attack type, mana cost, and element鈥擨 use both quite actively in my battles. I have upgraded the 'Palimpsest Prophet' to level 5; it now boasts 2 melee attack power, 2 armor, 3 health, and 3 speed. It also possesses two abilities: 'Charge,' which grants the freedom to attack from any position in the lineup, and 'Flying,' which provides a 25% chance to evade melee attacks. I typically use this card in low-mana battles, or occasionally place it strategically somewhere in the middle of my lineup. The second card, 'Stonebind Matron,' is upgraded to level 4 and has become significantly stronger鈥攊t now features 6 health and 5 speed. With 5 speed, this card is among the first to strike in any battle, and since it is a melee card, its attacks land directly on the target.
In addition to 572 merits, I also received 2 cards from 3 major chests鈥攁mounting to 4 copies in total, as I got 2 copies of each card. One of these is the 'Palimpsest Prophet' that I mentioned earlier; this brings my total to 3 copies of 'Palimpsest Prophet' from this 'welcome loot.' The other card is 'Magmaforged' (from the Fire element). I have upgraded this card to level 5 in my deck, where it now boasts 2 ranged attack power instead of 1, making it significantly more powerful. Its health and speed stats have also increased to 5 each. As I noted regarding the previous card, having 5 speed points means this card is among the first to attack, allowing you to maintain an upper hand right from the start of any battle. Furthermore, this card now possesses a new ability called 'Pinpoint.' Essentially, this ability grants 'True Strike' to attacks made by allied cards that have the 'Sneak' ability鈥攎eaning their attacks will never miss. While this ability serves to strengthen other cards, the +1 ranged attack boost, combined with improved health and speed, makes this card far more useful than it was before.
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!馃敟
