The most recent Town Hall revealed several implementations of topics that were recently being discussed in proposals that ended up being approved, such as Land 1.75, the new Voucher card, and the new card rental system. However, among the news, there was a small detail that caught my attention: “Added an Academy panel to the Guild pages”. While looking at the Guild Academy, I realized that I could share some insights and tips and also spread the word about this new feature to new Splinterlands players. So come and discover some additional information about the Guild Academy!
I'll be much appreaciated if you Upvote, Reblogs or give any Tips ( PIZZA 🍕, PGM 🎮, LOLZ 😆, ALIVE ❤️, etc ). Thanks and have good reading! 🍀
[ENGLISH VERSION]
Why join a Guild and Brawls?
Source: Splinterlands Guild Academy
The guild is often the first contact players have when they join any game, often before they even discover that the game has Discord and other media. Therefore, I believe that finding a guild that helps its members and seeks constant improvement is a great alternative for Splinterlands players, because the members will help you when you have any questions.

Currently, High Tier guilds are looking for active players even if they are not the best of all with an evolved deck. This is because there was a proposal, which counts as a victory if one of the teams participates and the other does not participate, so having active players is already better than someone who does not participate. Remember that a good guild gives you access to evolved buildings and also to a greater amount of Merits and Staked SPS with each victory, helping you progress within the Splitnerlands universe.
Guild x Merits - The Importance of Gladiator cards today!
One of the biggest benefits of joining a guild and being active in Brawls is that you can earn the “Merits” token. With 2000 of these tokens you can go to the guild store and buy a Gladius Case that comes with 5 random cards from the Gladiators collection. These cards are very different from other Splinterlands cards because they come with a very strong ability, called Bloodlust. This ability causes cards that have it to receive +1 to all their stats if they defeat an opponent with the last hit, that is, +1 to all Attacks (Melee, Ranged, Magic), Speed, Health and Shield.
These cards were initially not as popular because they were restricted to Guild Brawls. However, their scope of use has increased significantly with the Reward Summoners from the Chaos Legion set, as their Conscript ability allows them to use a Gladitor in the match, making a card with BloodLust that has great stats now usable in Ranked matches.
Along the same lines, a Ruleset called “Are you Not Entertained?” was also added, which can appear in ranked battles and has the same effect as the summoner above, but without the need to use a summoner to do so. This rule allows you to summon an additional Gladiator card for the battle. So, together with a Summoner who has Conscript, the player can also call 2 cards from this collection into combat and whenever they defeat an opponent, their stats will increase. If this starts to happen frequently during the battle, the likely result will be the gladiator's victory!
Tip: Merits at Gwen's Glint Shop!
Still about Merits tokens, there is a tip that I usually mention when I talk about the uses of Glint. There is another way to get these tokens other than in the Guild Brawls, which is in Gwen’s Glint Shop. You can exchange 200 Glint for 200 Merits in the first batch (best cost-benefit), having the best 1:1 conversion between tokens, and it is easier to get glint since in every ranked battle you receive a little of the merit that you need to wait for the Brawls to be available.
The interesting thing about always looking for ways to get Merits is that as they are converted into Gladius Cards you end up improving your collection and thus your chances of winning in brawls and now in ranked games ends up increasing, as your cards become stronger.
