Splinterland Brawls are a guild event where you can earn merits and SPS. This post serves as a way for me to review how my fights went and as a reminder to sign up for the next brawl. I have missed brawls in the past and it hurts when Gladius cards can now be used in ranked battles using the soulbound summoners. Rebellion has also changed the battles and I keep losing my fights recently. 4 star brawls are rough as the teams tend to be stronger. I did around the same as last time, but this time, I was placed into a gold league gold foil match placement instead of bronze.
Brawl Result
I chose the gold foil modern Brawl and got 5 wins. There were 2 free wins in this match because two guilds didn't submit someone for a match. My rewards for the brawl were 4,190 merits and 64.789 SPS in the 4-star category. My guild ranked 7th place out of the 9 guilds there. I choose to take the gold foil modern brawl because my guild usually doesn't fill all their spots and I prefer to give my other guild members a chance at the brawls. Our guild did place slightly better than last time so our rewards recovered to an extent. The points aren't too far ahead of last time so I guess the placement does matter towards the rewards.
Brawl fights
There were 2 that I won, 2 won due to surrender, and 3 that I lost. So I included an idea of what the match was below along with a few thoughts about it.
You can find the first match here. I lost this match. My opponent's summoner and all those heals were too much for me to overcome. Add in that forcefield and my Sandworm couldn't deal much damage either.
You can find the second match here. I lost this match and the level advantage was too much for me to overcome. The speed difference was a bit too large for me to overcome.
You can find the third match here. I won this match but it was a close match. The shield monster is tough but I was able to kill it off in time. When it was buffed by martyr, my melee monsters started dying. I was glad that my flying monster was able to dodge a few attacks.
You can find the fourth match here. I lost this match due to the level disadvantage. There wasn't much I could do against all the damage and speed of the monsters.
You can find the fifth match here. I won this match and I have to say that using two good tank monsters up front helped out. Chaos Dragon could move first and kill off a monster in its first attack. With that, the match was in my favor and I barely won as my bloodlust monster started getting some stacks.
Conclusion
I think doing 8 fights for 4,190 merits and 64.789 SPS is a good reward for the effort. I was a bit worried when I got thrown into the gold league gold foil matches but I did well in this brawl. I was worried about level disadvantage for most of my fights but I was able to get some free wins and a few fights with more even opponents. I still prefer the bronze fights but I guess the higher leagues aren't too bad either.
