How are you doing SplinterMates? Are you ready for my next weekly challenge proposed by the Splinterlands team?
As this post is directed to new players, I will be as direct as possible.
But first, before entering into the strategy, please let me encourage you to participate in the challenge yourself, check out the splinterlands post here.
⚠️STRATEGY--> BUY EPIC draws and MERITS⚠️
I will soon start explaining my strategy, but before that, do you new player know what Glint is and how you can earn it?
# What is Glint and how to earn it?
Glint is a non valuable token (you cannot buy, sell or rent)that it is used to buy rewards.
The way you earn Glint is by winning battles in the Ranked game mode. It is important to know that depending on the League you are playing and depending on the staked SPS you have in your account, the Glint earned per battle may vary. Below you can find an example.
This is another important topic that you should learn as a new player, but it´s a different topic.
LETS FOCUS ON THE STRATEGY--> Epic draws and Merits
With the new released Rebellion Reward cards, I consider that Epic cards are the most powerful cards from this set. Below you can see all available cards that you could get.
Depending on each ruleset, you will find very powerful cards,such as the Halfling Refugee (low mana battles is a huge tank + damage); Shock Trooper is amazing for the back to basics ruleset. But the most powerful card of this reward set is OLIVIA OF THE BROOK.
Once this card gets level 2, she learns the **Mimic **ability:
At the beginning of round 2 and each following round, gain a random ability from the enemy team. 25% chance to gain a random ability from an attacker when hit. Dispel removes one mimicked ability in the order they were gained. Debilitations, Targeting abilities, Ambush, Weapons Training, Flank, Reach, Charge, and Taunt cannot be mimicked.
I consider this ability as the most overpowered ability together with Bloodlust. And here is the main reason why I have identified merits as the 2nd option for spending glint.
With these merits, you can buy the very powerful Gladiator cards.
All Gladiator cards have the Bloodlust ability (and others), that basically if you are able to kill one enemy with a Gladiator card, you get +1 in all stats.
You can use the glint that you earn in the shop to buy merits and if you can get 2000 merits, you can go to the Guild shop and buy a Gladiator package, that includes 5 Gladiator cards.
I hope my strategy was clear enough, but just in case-->
