A Gladius case opening

Hereby I want to talk about my latest Gladius Case opening. I definitely want to thank my guild for the chanches they are giving me, THANK YOU! As since I joined this guild my merit earnings got boosted really well. Those merits are ofcourse needed to buy gladius cases.

Gladius cases?

For those who don't know what gladius cases are, I'll try to explain them briefly. Gladius cases are kind of cardpacks from Splinterlands. But they have some very specific characteristics:

• Only buyable with merits: You can only buy gladius cases with merits. Which you can earn in chests, for me, in bronze these are very small amounts though. The bigger amount of merits I earn, is through participating in brawls of my guild.
• Untradeable: Gladius cases are untradeable. Inside those gladius cases are 5 gladiator cards which are untradeable as well.
• Only useable in brawls*: In the past they were only usable in brawls and you could only use one gladiator card in a brawl fight. But as the * already suggests, nowadays you can use them in normal fights as well, if the rule that you can use 1 gladiator is active or when you're using one of those latest rare reward summoners.
• Strong cards: In the past gladiator cards were the only ones which had the bloodlust ability, which could be considered as a rather strong ability. Nowadays 'normal' cards could have bloodlust as well. But there are still some very strong gladiator cards, think about Quora towershead for example.

My opening

I've talked enough about what is so special about gladius cases and their gladiator cards. Let's head over to what was inside my gladius case:

As you can see I received an epic gladiator card, which is by the way the first epic gladiator card I ever received! So I don't have to explain you that I am very happy with this opening. When I saw that there was an epic, I was hoping it would have been Quora Towershead, but that will be for the future. Now it's Marisol Contuma I got, together with some normal gladiator cards. I thought she could be really usefull as she has high health, shield, attack and speed. This all while having the reach and bloodlust ability. Fun fact: a couple of matches after I received her, I used her successfully and won a battle where her bloodlust got triggered multiple times!

Thanks for reading my article and I hope to soon be able to open more gladius cases! :D

How did I begin to play Splinterlands?

It all began in December 2021, I was a bit bored and was looking for a new game to play on my laptop. After googling a bit, I saw the term play2earn in my google results. I didn't know it at that time but it seemed awesome, earning money while playing games instead of spending money on those games. Soon I learned that play2earn means that you can indeed earn some money to play the games. How does it work? While playing those games, you can earn NFT's of those games. These NFT's can be traded and sold for cryptocurrencies which could be swapped for fiat if you would like to. That's how I started.

Do you want to try out Splinterlands aswell?
