In this Splinterlands Social Media Challenge, the goal is to discuss upgrading cards from the Gladiators collection. However, before getting to that topic, understand that you first need Merits to open the gladius cases and thus finally improve the cards in this collection. Come discover the upgrades and cards obtained!
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]
You Need Merits!
The main resource players will need to improve their collection and level up their Gladiator cards is Merits. The main way to get Merits is by participating in Guild Brawls; the more victories your guild gets by defeating the Frays, the more Merits everyone in the guild will get. Furthermore, a good cost-effective way to obtain merits is to exchange 2k glint for 2k merits every season, because that way you get a pack of gladius every season.
Opening Gladius Cases
In my first Gladius Cases openings I got two Gold Foils, one from Alva The Crusher and another from Krash Wanderford. However, what was truly impactful in this opening was getting the last copy I needed to upgrade Quora Towershead to level 3.
In the last 11 Gladius Cases I opened, I had great surprises with incredible cards being revealed. The first card was Alva the Crusher in the Gold Foil version, followed by Flaguilon Reine and Xulax Nightwind, both of which I didn't yet own in my collection, so we'll talk a little more about them later. I also managed to get another copy of Quora and another epic card in this opening.
Gladiator Cards - Improvements and Upgrades!
I didn't have any copies, even the normal rarity of Flaguilon Reine, and luckily, after opening 11 more Gladius Cases, I ended up getting this incredible Legendary card in Gold Foil rarity, which is even better. This is a great card that was missing from my Gladiators collection, as it's a mage with 2 spell and blast damage, and being a gladiator, it has Bloodlust which can end up being activated by damage that hits another opponent. The best part is that, being a Gold Foil card, it already comes at level 2, so it already has +1 HP and also the Shatter ability, which destroys the opponent's armor when the attack hits.
It wasn't a gold foil like the Flaguilon Reine card, but I also got another legendary card from the Gladiators collection that I didn't have yet, which is Xulax Nightwind. This card is a great tank because it has 7 HP and 7 shield, which, with the Void Armor ability, allows even magic damage to hit its shield, making it resistant to up to 14 damage of any type. In addition, it has 3 speed, which is good, and 3 melee damage; if it manages to land a kill, Bloodlust will buff all its stats. At higher levels, this card starts to transform into a true monster because it gains Thorns, Void, and finally Magic Reflect, making it very useful against melee enemies due to Thorns, but especially against mages.
Perhaps the most powerful card in this Gladitors collection is Quora Towershead, and it was precisely this card that I managed to evolve to level 3 with the copies obtained in the Gladius Cases in the last pack openings. At this level, Quora receives the Immunity ability, which makes her, as the name suggests, immune to opponent debuffs and, even better, ruleset debuffs. This detail, which may not seem significant to many, ends up making Quora – who is already very strong – extremely powerful when the match has any kind of rule that causes card debuffs. If you don't know, Quora's power comes from her dual-type attack (magic and melee) with a total of 4 attacks, which gives her a high chance of activating Bloomlust.
