[ENGLISH VERSION]
The Quest for Epic Upgrades!
I've been talking for a while now about upgrading the deck used in Splinterlands, and one of my goals is to improve my epic cards from the Rebellion Reward set. When you look at the entire collection, they're the ones that have the most impact on matches. They're strong, and some have debuffs to compensate for them and their teams. The problem is that, depending on the match setup, these negatives don't even occur. There are also epic cards that are incredible and have very few or no downsides, like Olivia of the Brook, which has two attack types: melee and magic, with opportunity, good stats, and a low mana cost. We also have the Halfling Refugee, which is an incredible tank for low-mana matches.
Initially, the goal was to get at least one copy of each epic, which has already been achieved. Now, I need to start accumulating epics for the next levels. A while ago, I purchased 6x epic draws towards this path of collecting epics and finally leveling them up. I ended up getting 3 copies of Halfling Refugee, which is my favorite card in the set due to its stats and low mana cost, two copies of Olivia of the Book, which is a great DPS, and a copy of Thanalorian Blade, which is also a good DPS, with 2 melee damage and opportunity.
Most are at level 2, since just 4 copies are already possible to upgrade to that level. But for 3 or 4, the number of copies required increases significantly, and since there's been a certain variety of epics in Epic Draws, I'm having trouble leveling them. On the one hand, it's good because the number of all of them is increasing, but on the other hand, it's bad because it will still take a while to level an epic.
Now, recently, combining the seasonal Glint with the Glint that's given at the end of the season, I was able to acquire eight more Epic Draws from the Glint Shop, which, as I mentioned, ended up with different cards. The highlight of this opening was the Night Reaper Gold Foil, now just one more to level it up to the next level. We had another Olivia of the Brook, but then some new cards like the Shock Trooper, which is perhaps the strongest DPS card in this set, with 4 magic damage, good stats (5 HP and 3 Speed), for only 4 mana. Also, a Kha'Zi Conjurer and an Arachne Weaver.
In Search of the Jackpot!
Splinterlands is a card game with NFT mechanics. Previously, players had the chance to obtain very good cards as NFTs, with the option to sell them on the game's marketplace. Now, the big surprise would be finding a Jackpot, which is more common in Majors, but especially in Ultimate Chests. So, in addition to improving the epic cards in the Reward Rebellion set, I'm still trying to find a jackpot, which could include some card booster packs or even a land.
My first attempt was with the Major Chests. I acquired about 20 chests to try my luck, but unfortunately, I didn't hit the jackpot this time. However, I did manage to get an epic card, the Shock Trooper, and five rare cards, making the glint expenditure on these chests somewhat worth it.
Finally, with the rest of Glint, I grabbed three Ultimate Chests to try my luck, since they have the best chance, but the jackpot didn't come either. Luckily, at least I got two copies of Dark Arborist Gold Foil and some token merits.
