The season ended earlier this week so it's time to view how my rewards ended up again. I did end in Champion for the first time since playing Splinterlands but I don't know if I will regret that decision. So far though, I don't think it was worth it for all the stress and losing in ranked battles. It's also nice that GLX is being airdropped for staking SPS.
Season Rewards
My luck was better because I did manage to get myself to Champion but I kind of regret that action. My new season has been nothing more than stressful as I lost way more than half of my matches and the constant losing streaks makes me wonder if I can even compete. I know it's just the start of the season but it's rough.
Going back to my rewards, I did get 2 chaos legion packs and a gold foil rare card. So it looks like a great pull so far. I didn't get that many potions and the SPS/merits look to be pretty low as well. That is the expected result since I did get fewer chests overall. On the last day, I did stop myself from using up a lot of my energy capture rate because I did not want to get knocked down from champion. After all, I got them because luck and my win streak gave me enough points. However, I wonder if that was even the right decision because it's been so tough in the new season.
Gladius Packs
My rewards from the season rewards and brawls allowed me to buy 2 packs. I opened them above but it doesn't like I got anything nice from them. It's a bit unfortunate that I didn't get anything that great and most of those cards, I don't use that often. I see myself defaulting to using things like Quora or a reach tank with bloodlust most of the time. I hope my next opening will go better.
SPS/GLX
With the GLX airdrop going on, I decided to just move any SPS that I earn into being staked. The airdrop will be going on for a while and the APR of staking is far above what is in the liquidity pools. I am taking some profits off from GLX because I don't think prices will hold and I don't want to be caught in the unstaking time periods.
One thing that I learned was that I needed to claim my battle, brawl, and reward chests SPS. It doesn't get claimed with everything else. So you manually claim it and this is the snapshot for me for like a season. I do believe that I last claimed it at the start of the previous season and it's not a bad earning from one season or so.
The collected rewards from everything happen to be 471 after collecting my liquidity, gameplay SPS and staking rewards. It's not that bad but it should increase the airdrop I get by a bit and my plan is to just sell the GLX. I don't know what I will do with the Hive generated but I have the choice between Splinterland assets, Hive Engine, or GLS assets when things get released. I am just undecided but increasing my SPS in the game doesn't sound like such a bad idea.
Conclusion
My rewards were better than last time but I kind of regret my own decision to stick in Champion for the season's end. The problem with that is that I am in Gold and I can't just stay in Silver until the end of the season. My gladius packs were not that great and I decided to stake my SPS to get more of that GLX rewards.
