Good morning Splinterfriends!!
The long awaited "End of Season" or "Eos" is here!! For many of us, at the EoS we are excited to receive a big ol' pile o' Glint and it feels like Christmas!!
Today, I am going to share the results of many Seasons worth of accumulation and also share a few pointers I picked up along the way...
This won't apply to everyone but here's a bit about my Splinterlands experience first:
I started playing in 2021 and spent too much of my Bull Run profits on this game lmaoooo
HUGE Chaos Legion Bagholder - fml... but I have used the DCA strategy to buy more assets every week in small increments 😁
I work way too much and since I missed out on a lot of the CL Reward Cards and can't afford Max Level Rebellion Cards, I am currently Botting Wild with an XBot Token
Recently, each season I have ended up in Champ II and with 500k+ SPS staked, I earn about 350k Glint throughout the Season and thus a 350k bag at the EoS
With that being said, I am going to share my strategy - which I adopted 2-3 seasons into the Rebellion Reward Cards...
My first couple seasons, I chased the "Card Draw"... which is cool... but think about this...
If you haven't maxed out your Commons/Rares... why CHASE anything...
If you go after CHESTS instead... you have the chance to EARN MORE ENERGY... which gets you more Glint both DURING and at the END OF SEASON...
So... Chests will give you Cards that you need... but also Potions for future Chest use... and ENERGY... for more Glint... oh yeah... and did I mention Chests also give out BIG MERIT Rewards?? That's a HUGE benefit for those who don't have Max Level Gladiators...
Yup, that's right... I go through them in Batches... but since Season 3 or 4... I have only opened CHESTS so I can not only get CARDS... but also ENERGY and the occasional Jackpot Beta Pack 😁
With that being said, let's go see how this has turned out so far!!
I can't stress this enough - make sure you have at least enough of each potion Legendary/Alchemy to ensure you have the TOP chance to earn a Gold Foil Epic or Legendary from your Legendary Chests.
The last thing you want to do is pull a bunch of Regular Common/Rare cards from your BIG CHESTS... those hurt...
So... how do we ensure we have enough of these to accomplish this... START BY PURCHASING THE MINOR CHESTS FIRST - and do NOT use any Pots on these if you are low on them...
The Minor Chests will give you PLENTY of Potions and if you're lucky, a few good cards you won on sheer VOLUME.
That way you don't have to spend any of that precious Glint... on Potions.
As a bonus... once you pop the Minor Chests... you can Burn any SBRCs you have maxed out...
I just cracked 300 Minor Chests and my results can be found here:
I earned 42 Legendary Pots and about the same number of Alchemy Pots...
Plus... I picked up a number of Commons and Rares, a few GF of each and one Epic - a Shock Trooper 😁
Man I love that guy in the "Back to Basics" ruleset... The stats are INSANE for 4 Mana... and at Max Level... HOLY CRAP!!! (I'm dreaming of the day)
So where does that leave me, card wise, after 300 Minor Chests...
I am excited because I am only two Commons away from a MAX SET of Rebellion Soulbound Commons!!! I missed a BUNCH of CL Reward cards... so having these is VERY HELPFUL!!!
Which ones am I missing... I am 59/100 on the Mar Toren Trader (41 Missing) and I am 93/100 on the Lucheim Demon (7 Missing)... SO CLOSE!!!
Let's flip the switch and check out the shiny versions of these!!
Hey!! Not bad!!! I am not "focused" on collecting Gold Foils so these are just bonuses for right now 😄
I see these cards are in the Level 5-7 range and remember, a GF Common requires 38 Copies or 38 BCX as they are called to become a Max Level Card 😁
I have a long way to go here and I am using these as a means to boost my CP so I can FINALLY GET THAT STUPID 2.5M CP BADGE!!!!!! Not that I want it or anything lol...
Looking at the Rares we see that Commander Slade at Max Level (L8) is a BAD ASS!!!
In addition, to Slade, Dragon Egg Forager seems pretty strong too!! 5 Mana, 5 Dmg with 4 Spd and 7 HP isn't bad... but with Opportunity... YIKES!
Skyspire Leopard is cool and all... but ya know... can't all be winners lol... sorry kitty.
With those 3 at Max Level, I need 9 more Rares to max out the collection and I'm pretty far off on those... maybe I'll get a bunch with my next batch of Chests!
Looking at these, you can see just how tough they are to get! I am missing 5 of the 12 COMPLETELY... but oddly enough... "bEcAuSe RnG bRo"... I have a Level 5 Chaos Adjutant with 9 BCX of them lol...
Obviously at this point it is well known the most powerful Rebellion Soulbound Reward Cards are the EPICS, rather than the Legendaries...
Fortunately, I have been able to pick up a good number of these from the Chests and I have collected them in the Level 3-5 Range with... thank the RNG Lords... Olivia being on top at Level 5!!!
I can't wait to max these out but until then, let's check out the GF Epics!
I have been fairly fortunate with these as well and have picked up a number of GF Epics!!
Somehow I haven't snagged a Halfling Refugee but I'm sure I will at some point 😄
I am making progress on the Legendary cards as well - Mostly Level 2+ but there are a few lagging behind at Level 1 due to RNG... hopefully I'll crack some in the Major + Legendary Chests I am about to open!!
Confession Time: I have only opened 1 GF Legendary card... and I burned it for Glint lol
I don't have a use for them right now... and they are 25k Glint Each... which is a LOT of chests lol... so I burned it and don't have any of these... and if I were to pull another GF Legendary...
Now that we are all caught up... and the 300 Minor Chests of Batch 1 in the rearview mirror... let's go open 30 Legendary Chests with the Potions we earned from the Minor Chests!!
Ok... the first two rows (10 Chests) are kind of hurtful... lol... I am grateful for the 3 Gladius Cases and the 12 Energy... but my only Card is a Common w/ 5 BCX... I hope the next two rows give out some Epics and Legendaries - especially since I used both Pots on these!!!
AWWWWWWWW YEAH!!!!!!!!! That's what I am talking about!!! Not only did I get another 11 Energy... But I got 1 BCX of Sergeant Grauzral and TWO BCX of Grifzi!!
Man... I typed that before I opened those 10... so... I SURE HOPE THE NEXT TWO ROWS GIVE ME A JACKPOT CHEST!!!
Lol... well damn... Rows 5 + 6 are almost identical to Rows 1 + 2... Like... weirdly identical...
Row 1 + 2 = 12 Energy, 7,285 Merits, 18 LPots and 5 Blackmoor Wild Elf...
Row 5 + 6 = 14 Energy, 6,597 Merits, 25 LPots and 9 Blackmoor Wild Elf...
I won't bore you guys with the rest of the EoS stuff I do... but I am about to go crack the Major Chests and Gladius Cases and enjoy my Rewards!!
I hope this helps you guys decide upon a path to maximize your Rewards both during the Season and at the End of Season!!!
That's all I have for you today folks!! Thank you for reading and I would LOVE for you to join me in game!!

Was earning around 350k glint in modern and my strategy since the beginning was to spend my glint on chest, 2 batch of major chest to be specific since it can give multiple bcx of card and tons of energy which I could convert to more glint and SPS along with more merits as well as the chance for packs and titles.
