I was happy when I've got some chests for reaching Gold I this season. I missed this update, but must admit it's a remarkable update. The players will receive one-time rewards when they reach new tiers!
Wild advancement for me when I unlocked Gold I tier and received 15 reward chests for the hustle! Got a decent amount of Merits, Rebellion cards and potions. Now lets push towards Diamond!
I usually spend the Glint gathered throughout the season on Common cards, spending 150 for each draw. The Glint received at the end of the season is spent on Rare cards, spending 75o for each draw.
My strategy is simple... earn Glint and sort out the common cards first! Why? Because I want to have most cards and to use them in battles! So far I pulled three gold foil units: the Halaran Huntress, the Drybone Hobgoblin, and Razorhound!
Let's talk about brawls and gladiator cards! This ones are more powerful then normal cards, but are Soulbound. All the 32 Gladius card have the Bloodlust ability, earning +1 to all initially non-zero stats per defeated opponent.
Got five gold foil cards and must say Chimney Wallstop is one of my favorite cards when it comes to raw force. Xulax joined a selected group, with Sola and Larissa as founding members of the Legendary Legion
Glint claimed at the end of the season. Spent it wisely on three epic draws and nine rare cards. No more spending on chests for silly rewards!
I got the Night Reaper, the Halfling Refugee and the Thanalorian Blade as epics, all boosting my current deck. Lots of familiar faces in the rare cards, which means will be able to upgrade some units!
The most remarkable event so far was receiving the mighty Nidhoggr! I had low expectations for the last one as the chances where lower than usual. Was expecting the usual "no rewards" message when I got stunned by this view! I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was reading "You will receive 1 card!"
I played against the odds one more time, and used 20 vouchers to increase the Gold Foil chance from 2% to 4%! With low expectations I pressed the "continue" button! The odds were again in my favor! GOLD FOIL NIDHOGGR! I was thrilling! All the frustration that I accumulated turned into pure joy!
According to the lore, Nidhoggr is a guardian dragon and custodian of these ley lines. He rose from the chasm in which he'd buried himself, and shook off a mountain of rock and debris!
He learned of the Chaos Empire's trespass and of the failure to stop them... and he found them both guilty. Praetoria trembled as Nidhoggr stretched his wings! I had to test this bad boy in battle!
Nidhoggr: Force Reduction, -1 Health & -1 Armor
Night Reaper: Caster with Flying and Wingbreaker
Rune Arcanist: Caster with Weaken
Daygendark Surveyor: Support with Magic Reflect
Daarg Deadblast: Caster with Swiftness and Weapons Training
Redwyrm Hatchling: Ranged with Dodge and True Strike
Nidhoggr was going to boss this battle, boosting his army and reducing the strength of the enemies! Draag gave spell power to the little surveyor, and speed to everyone else.
The Anasth Soothsayer was bombarded with spells, and Janni Rebel was receiving blast damage as well. My army was pushing for a quick win, while the Meriput Magician was trying to keep my enemies alive!
The tiny healer failed, as the Soothsayer demise came quickly. Janni was next and soon Captain Katie had to take the lead. She managed to take down the Night Reaper and taste Bloodlust, but she wasn't strong enough for what was yet to come!
Katie was weaken, and the Rune Arcanist delivered the deadly blow! We banished the demon with swiftness, and was time to get rid of the naughty Meriput Magician.
The little guy gave a fair fight, healing himself and eliminating the Rune Arcanist from the battle. He survived more than expected, casting spells and heals! However, it was impossible for him to maintain at high health, and soon had to accept a tragic fate. Was game over in seven rounds! See the full battle here!
A winner never stops! I am now facing a big dilemma while reading the insane value of the gold foil card: should I sell and buy a normal card with the money? I could use the difference to improve my deck with Rebellion cards!
