Hello everyone, welcome back to Ramadhanight's Hive Blog on Splinterlands Social Media Challenge. Today, I want to share my progress on Building my Squad and how I try to spent lots of Glint in order to get max reward cards. I also get my first GFL here !
1 Level Difference Could Be a Big Problem
On Splinterlands Battlefiel, level of monsters and summoners are not just a number. The difference of 1 level can make a big impact because monsters can have stats addition, new ability, or even better both of them !
When I play on the modern diamond league, I often feel a bitter lose just because my reward monsters are losing 1 level with opponent's. As I've mentioned before, that 1 level can make huge gap, especially on max level, because monster can reach their full potential at maxed level (they usually get a powerfull ability there !).
The most impactfull based on my experience is Commander Slade. This water element monster is having great physical stats and ability. At max level, this monster is getting 1 speed addition and backfire ability which cause lots of impact when both team try to use the armored strike summoner effect. The first monster that play would easily destroy the other, plus the speed different often cause the evade which followed by backfire ! I really hate this kind of match and hope I could cope with the same level as my opponent.
The second monster is Dark Arborist. This monster is not just great to reduce enemies melee damage, but also a magic specialist because it has magic reflect. On the all magic ruleset, I always relly on this monster. But I found out my enemy use this monster with maxed level, and guess what, he got void ability ! Geez, this has very big impact because all magic damage are reduced to him ! This is also my main target monster to maxed out. I'm only 1 level left from it !
Try To Improve the Squad Through Glint Shop
With seasonal glint reward, there is a great chance to improve our squad by spend the glint for reward cards.
As always, my first option is getting rare draw which always give rare cards. I bought all 100 1st batch of rare draw which cost 75,000 glint.

I use 100 Alchemy potion to increase the chance to get the Gold Foil Cards !
I got 13 commander slade and 5 dark arborist from this action.
Next I go for the Major Chest. I don't think it's a lucky one because the one I try to reach max level (Commander Slade and Dark Arborist) only have 1 normal copy here.
But something amazing happens, because I got the golder Commander Slade, then Ta daa, a Gold Foiled Legendary Card ! I think Gallicus is a good one for the all range ruleset, because he got the taunt plus the shield to reduce all physical damage ! Would be great for no magic ruleset on tiny league as well !
Let's Check The Target Card !
After getting all 1st batch of rare draw and 100 major chest, I expect for maxing out the Commander Slade and the Dark Arborist.
Too bad, I still need 13 copy of Commander Slade for getting the max level !
For Dark Arborist, I still need 10 more cards !
Let's do Another Pull !!
Since I don't reach my target yet, and I still have some glints, I decide to go for another pull, and now I decide to go for 50 major chest to clean all 1st batch of it which cost me 50,000 glint !
The result arent that bad, because I got 3 Halfling Refugee (Epic), and a legendary card, plus lot's of energy ! The bad thing is just I don't get either the cards I'm trying to max out 😅
Upgrading Time !
Even my target cards can't be upgraded yet, there still some card that now upgradable on my deck !
First is Mar Toren Trader that can be upgraded into 8th level and get 1 health point addition.
Then there is Nimbledook Exmporer that can also upgraded into 8th level and get 1 health point addition as well
Now this is more interesting because Razorhound can be maxed out now !
He got the void ability which is great for the no melee ruleset to tank some magic damage with the new ability !
Next another max out rare cards, now it's time for Skyspire Leopard.
He get 1 more melee damage, which makes him have 5 melee damage now ! With the retaliate, he could be great to counter the melee damage !
What's Next ?
There is still 2 days left of this season. I will try to go for the ultimate chest, but let me accumulate some glint again for more bulking buy. Hopefully I can find the cards that I want, and even better get another GFL and the jackpot !
