Brawl & First-Third-Reacap - Should I just stay down?

Wild League

We're now 5 days into the new Season and I'm only up 120 Rating points. That's not fun. I managed to get to Diamon 1 in an occasion, and got some rewards - nothing fancy, but it doesn't seem to be the season for that.

The energy was wasted on losses, the cards were okay, and the amount of Mertis a little underwhelming. But that happens. Lots of Gold potions, I can get behind that - I use them more than the legendary potions of which I have to many. Is it possible to burn them?

Brawl & Guild

We recently got some new folks into the Guild, and even though they said they read the rules and tips, they clearly didn't, taking high-league frays with novice cards. Well, that happens from time to time.

My personal performance was nothing to gloat about, either - 5 wins, 4 losses.

In the end, we did manage to get second spot and win a nice amount of Merit and SPS, but I'd like to have brought more to the table than 5 wins.

Something Positive!

I found a new combination that I like, though - Shieldpaw and Olivia. Here's the battle link: Click me for the battle!

The idea is to have Olivia in the back and survive until she can absorb many of the enemy's abilities. I'll try that in a battle against an opponent with same card level I think, just to see how it turns out on a levelled playing field. Does anyone have experience with this combo?

New cards? Well, yeah...

I was able to purchase 4 gladiator cases and opened them. Not that much luck. 2 gold foils that I won't use because they're too low level, no epics, no legendary.

I'd rather get Vorst in regular foil so I can upgrade him. I might just burn Brieze, since I don't use that card ever.

There are actually quite a few cards that I never use. What do you do with those? Burn them in order to get more of the rest? It's a battle between the collector in me, and the gamer 😅

I'm workin on my common reward card collection, but no news on that front - I need 70 BCX to upgrade a card now, that takes time. Towards the end of the season I should be able to have progress there. I won a Regal Peryton in a wheel spin from a spontaneous @sbtofficial spin, thanks for that!

Conclusion

This does not seem to be my season - yet. Things can change quickly, I'm currently playing a Gold Modern Tournament and hoping to at least make my investment back and see a few nice battles. I won the first one, it was a crazy Scattershot enemy that totally ignored my Shieldpaw/Agor combo - but luckily, that wasn't enough to beat me. Click here for the crazy battle!

I just gonna chill and let things play out. Can't have success all the time, and it's good to get some losses to be brought back to earth. 🙃
