Hello Splinterlands Community! For the Splinterlands Social Media Challenge this week, I will share the improvements on my card collection as I am going to upgrade my summoner and some of my units in the game that is ready to be upgraded to a higher level. Since I am playing this game for a while now, I was able to collect a number of cards in the game and I am now in the point that I can combine the similar cards that I have and upgrade those units to become more powerful and destructive in the battlefield. It is important to build and upgrade the card collection as these cards would be very useful not only on ranked battles but also on Guild Brawls and tournaments where having a leveled up units on your matches gives you a better opportunity to win the battles and winning a lot of matches also equivalents to bigger prizes and rewards in the game. I will continue to talk about the summoner and units that I have upgraded to higher levels and share my insights on the stats that was improved on those units.
Upgrading my Summoner
Helios Matriarch
The first card that I upgraded is my summoner Helios Matriarch. It is a dragon summoner that gives bonus speed to all my units at the beginning of the match and it also has the ability which allows me to use a Gladius unit in the match, for Guild Brawls it allows me to use two Gladius units for the battle. Upgrading this summoner to level 3 allows me to use more leveled up units in the game, specifically up to Level 4 on common units, Level 3 on rare units and Level 2 on both epic and legendary units in the game. This is a huge advantage for me against opponents that has lower level summoners which restricts the level of the units that can be used in the match.
Upgrading my Units
Venari Knifer
I have upgraded my Venari Knifer from level 1 to level 2. It is a common earth unit that deals melee damage to the enemy team and comes from the Chaos Legion set. It has a good amount of damage and health which makes this unit a good frontline unit for the team. It also has the Thorns ability that causes the melee damage enemy monster to take back damage every time it lands a melee damage to this unit. That ability makes this unit more capable of being a great frontline for the team which makes upgrading this unit more important. The additional speed it got from upgrading this card to a higher level helps this unit to strike early each round which allows this unit to potentially take down the enemy unit.
Blackmoor Wild Elf
I have also upgraded my Blackmoor Wild Elf from level 1 to level 2 as well. It is a common earth unit that deals magic damage to enemy team and it is from the Rebellion set reward cards. This unit has a good amount of magic damage and has a low amount of health. It has the camouflage ability which is very helpful for this unit as that ability makes this unit untargettable as long as it is not placed in the first position of the team. Upgrading this unit is very important as it allows you to unlock its second ability which is Amplify. That ability enhances the effects of Magic Reflect, Thorns and Return Fire which causes the damage it returns to the enemy units more bigger and potentially take down those enemy units.
Swamp Spitter
I have also upgraded my Swamp Spitter from level 4 going to level 5. It is a common water unit that deals ranged damage to the enemy team and it comes from the Chaos Legion set reward cards. I have upgraded this unit previously which is why it has now massive amount of ranged damage and speed. It also has the Repair ability that allows this unit to restore some armor to the ally unit that has taken the most amount of damage to its armor each round. This makes this unit not only an offensive unit but also a support unit as well with this ability. Upgrading this card on a higher level increases also its health which is very important as the great amount of ranged damage it has and the capability of the Repair ability is useful for the team.
Ravenhood Warden
I have also upgraded my Ravenhood Warden from level 1 to level 2 as well. It is a rare death unit that also deals ranged damage to the enemy team and it comes from the Chaos Legion set reward cards. It has a low amount of health and it is primary a support unit for the team with its ability which is Protect. That ability gives every unit in the team 2 armor at the beginning of the match. This ability enhances the durability of the entire team against melee and ranged enemy monsters. Since I am using this card mostly on my battles, I have to upgrade this unit to a higher level so it would have an increased stats which would be helpful for the whole team.
Dumacke Orc
I have also upgraded my Dumacke Orc from level 4 to level 5 as well. It is a common neutral unit that deals melee damage to the enemy team and it also comes from the Chaos Legion set reward cards. This unit has a very low amount of health but it has a great amount of shield and melee damage as I was able to upgrade this card previously as well. This unit has the Shield ability which makes this unit more durable against melee and ranged enemy units. Upgrading this card to level 5 also unlocks its second ability which is Retaliate. That ability gives this unit an opportunity to strike back to enemy units that was able to deal melee damage to this unit. This makes Dumacke Orc not only a good frontline unit for the team against melee and ranged enemy monsters but also an offensive unit with its great amount of melee damage and the Retaliate ability.
My Battle
This is the modern ranked battle that I want to share wherein I already utilize and put into the action my recent upgraded summoner which is Helios Matriarch alongside with my magic damage units from the earth element alongside with another unit that I recently upgraded which is Blackmoor Wild Elf. The upgraded summoner allows me to utilize my leveled up units in this match which are Blackmoor Wild Elf and Goblin Psychic. The increased stats on those units is very helpful in this match and to be able to utilize the leveled up cards in ranked battles gives a better chance to secure the victory which I have done for this modern ranked battle I had.

It is important to be able to collect and gather a lot of cards in the game as it makes the game more exciting and motivated to play the game better. As I have mentioned before, I have started playing this game few years ago which makes my collection more bigger and as I continuous to climb up on ranked battles and participate on Guild Brawls, I was able to get a lot of rewards which allows me to upgrade my summoner and units in the game that gives me satisfaction and serves as an achievement for me. Having the ability to deploy leveled up monsters in the match gives an advantage to the team especially if the stakes is very high. It is also exciting to unlock more abilities on the units which normally has one or two abilities on lower levels. This makes me more motivated to strive harder in the game and hopefully upgrade more units in the future.
