Brawl Report #118: You can't hate the free wins from just showing up

in Splinterlands2 days ago

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. 4 star brawls are rough as the teams tend to be stronger. I am still in the gold league gold foil matches and I did well this time around. Lately, I have been getting a lot of free wins from people not being assigned to a brawl or forgetting to submit a match. So I think that making sure to submit your matches matters.

I chose the gold foil modern Brawl and got 5 wins. There were 3 free wins in this match because three guilds didn't submit someone for a game. My rewards for the brawl were 4,619 merits and 75.361 SPS in the 4-star category. My guild ranked 4th 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. Lately, I have been getting around 5 matches to submit for brawls, which means a decent amount of free wins. It makes me wonder if those guilds are even active at this point.

Brawl fights

There were 3 that I lost, 1 won due to surrender, and 1 that I won. So I included an idea of the match below and a few thoughts about it.

You can find the first match here. I lost this match because my opponent had the stronger lineup. The thorns monster was too much for me and my opponent also had faster monsters than me.

You can find the second match here. I won this match because I took advantage of the ruleset. My tank also had bloodlust and that helped me out in surviving longer. It hurts to go up against magic monsters, but my opponent's lineup didn't have much health so it went down quite fast.

You can find the third match here. I lost this match because my opponent had the stronger lineup. All those heals made it rough for me and the thorns from Mylor hurt me as well. Katrelba Gobson and Kron in the back made me lose hope as soon as I saw this match.

You can find the fourth match here. I lost this match because my opponent had the stronger lineup. I don't have many gold foil magic cards so I was already limited in my options. My opponent made the most of the mana and destroyed me with the number of monsters he had and he also had a speed advantage due to the level difference.

Conclusion

Doing 9 fights for 4,619 merits and 75.361 SPS is a good reward for the effort. It wasn't as great as the last brawl, but getting so many free wins is great. I also managed to win one of my actual fights so I am happy that I can win some fights with the right lineup. It's hard to win fights when you are at a level disadvantage. I have also noticed that there seems to be fewer fights lately. I wonder if people aren't playing brawls as much now.

Are you taking part in Guild Brawls?

I saw the Mylor game. There's no way you're beating that Mylor with the katrelba at the back. It was actually a mismatch, but at least you got a "flee" victory

Yea. It was a rough match but I am glad that I got a few wins in against those that didn't submit or submitted a weaker than average team.

Yea well mylor + kron + katrelba too strong... Most of losses are just opponent with too good cards rather than skill

I am at a disadvantage in terms of level, but we have to make do with what we have.

As long as we get half of freewins, it's all good
