Social Media Challenge: Pushing Towards Max Foundation And Getting More Reward Cards

Prelude
Hi all, good day to all of you. It's time again for Social Media Challenge. And today I want to talk about the importance of pushing Foundation Cards to max level and improving the levels of Reward Cards. So in today's post, I will first talk about Foundation Cards then subsequently Reward Cards.

Laying The Foundation

This is something important that all players should focus on right from the start.

It all used to be starters that we can free to use in battles. But those starter cards cannot level up and hence right now, the key is to focus on frontier league and get your foundation cards.

Benefits:

• Frontier Battles run on a separate energy bar as compared to ranked battles in modern/wild. So while you continue pushing your modern and wild battles, you need not be afraid to commit to the battles in frontier battles.
• Foundation cards can be levelled up. While they might be a little costlier in mana than usual cards, these cards are still rather decent. I use them in my rank battles too because they are more levelled up than my standard cards.
• Maxed foundation cards can even be deadlier than under levelled standard cards
• Earned additional legendary cards? Sell them in the market to get some DEC to get standard cards.

With so many benefits, I urge everyone to focus and ensure you get to a max set of foundation cards so that you can use them in ranked battles and obtain other cards which I will be talking about in the next section.

Some notable awesome foundation cards:

Making Those Reward Cards Count

With a good basis and foundation from the foundation set, next is to look at reward cards which is available at the current set. I guess I did not do well for my Rebellion set and missed out on quite a number of reward cards which I might consider picking some up to level my reward cards. But this is something that I believe we should also focus on.

This is the cycle that we can do and improve our rewards loop.

Reward cards can be obtained by spending glint on rewards shop and can be specifically targeted by the various rarity draws as per below:

Yes, right now I am low on glint and I wish I had more. To get more glint, we need to push for more SPS because that is what determine the multiplier of glint we can get at the end of winning a match.

To get more SPS, we need to battle regularly and win regularly or consistently take part in brawls to get more SPS from there.

And now we go back to basics:

To win -> we need good cards
To get good cards -> we need SPS/DEC or have more glint from battles
To have more SPS/DEC/Glint -> get more SPS

Spend those accumulated Glint to get reward cards, use them, win matches, earn more glint and SPS, strengthen your SPS stake, get more glint, win more match and voila, get a stronger base of card collection.

And it also helps when you can use higher level cards by using levelled up foundation archons. And when we are able to do so, somehow we can have a much better win rate to repeat the cycle as we work towards getting more glint to obtain and level up epic and legendary reward cards.

Some reward cards (rare and below that served me well thus far):

Wrap Up
Thank you for coming by my post and hope this post will help remind players on the importance of obtaining foundation cards and reward cards to better their collection and have a viable working base for winning matches. It might not ensure you 100% win rate, but it will certainly elevate your chances of winning and becoming stronger.
