Splinterlands - Opening 5 Foundation packs, winning 2 Rare Gold Foil and a Smart Victory Strategy

Hello everyone,
how are you all? I hope everyone is fine and doing great in their life.

Today I am back with another Splinterlands blog, and I have some interesting stuff to share with all of you.

The very first thing I would like to share today is about my Frontier mode progress. Initially, when I started playing this mode, I was not planning to even climb to the Gold League. But now, after playing it for the last few months, I am happy to say that I am actually among the top players in this mode.

In the screenshot below, you can see that my all-time season ranking across different seasons is 16, which is actually a very good rank because I never thought I would reach the top 16.

Currently, in this season, I am at rank 319, and I am definitely going to climb up the leaderboard in the coming days. My highest rating is 3320, which is from the current season itself, and it is also my all-time highest season rating.

I played 20 battles today and won 15 of them, and then I was able to claim my daily rewards, as you can see in the screenshot below.

Finally, I headed over to Mana well, because that is where we open our chest boxes. Today, as usual, I opened 5 foundation chest boxes, as shown in the screenshot below. My expectations were not high from these packs because I usually get disappointed when I expect too much. At the end of the day, these are random rewards generated within the game.

In the screenshot below, you can see that I didn’t win anything very special today, but I did get two rare gold foil cards from the five packs, so I am still happy about that. I also received two summoners, one from the fire category and another from the life category. I really needed the life category summoner because I want to upgrade it, as it is currently lagging behind.

In the screenshot below, you can see my first rare gold foil card from today’s foundation chest opening. The name is Vicious Quilliun, and I am happy to win this because it is a card I actually use in battles.

The second card is Arcane Curator, as shown in the screenshot below, and I got the gold foil version for this one as well. Both of them belong to the rare category.

The first card is worth $0.09, and the second one is worth $0.04. So that’s how the pack opening went today.

Now let me share one of the battles with all of you. The reason I am sharing this battle is because both me and my opponent used the same summoner. You can see the lineup below, where the opponent is at the top and I am at the bottom.

If you observe carefully, you will notice that Mystic Scaleweaver is a legendary monster in both teams. My opponent had a higher-level version of this monster, which is why it dealt more damage. Marlai Singariel also provided +1 magic attack to all magic units, making it even stronger.

In the screenshot below, you can see round 2, where we were down to 5 vs 5. The battle was still neutral, and I was hopeful of winning, even though my Mystic Scaleweaver was not fully upgraded.

In the screenshot, you can see round 3, where the battle shifted in my favor, turning into a 3 vs 4 situation. At this point, I felt confident about winning, especially because I had another legendary monster, Alan Musketeer, which helped me gain the upper hand.

Finally, in the last screenshot, you can see that the victory was mine. My opponent was left with only one monster with ranged attack, while I still had three monsters remaining, so there was no chance I was losing that battle.

That is what I did in Splinterlands today. I won a battle against the same summoner setup even though my legendary monster was not fully upgraded. I also got two gold foil cards and opened five foundation chests.

In the coming days, I am planning to open Escalation packs. In my last blog, I mentioned that I was confused about which packs to open, but now I think Escalation packs are the ones I will go for next.

Lastly I am sharing my terracore attacks from my terracore base as you can see in the screenshot above. The attacks used were 5 and the scraps won were 1000+.

That is all for today, Thank You
