The feeling of buying a new card in Splinterlands is always a little different. Especially when that card has never been used before, the curiosity increases even more—how much is the real power of the card, how effective it will be in battle, whether it will fit in with the team or not. It was with such a feeling that I recently purchased the Dar ‘Gottem’ Gearnut card. As soon as I bought the card, I decided not to just enjoy keeping it in my card collection, but to use it directly in a battle and see its real performance. Today’s blog is about that experience, the card’s features, and the story of victory.
First, let’s talk about the Dar ‘Gottem’ Gearnut card. This card gives a completely different kind of feeling. Starting from the visual design of the game to the character style—it is quite interesting. As a Gnome unit, the card is not only beautiful to look at, but its stats and abilities are also designed with a lot of thought. With 20 health, it does not leave the field very easily, which is a huge advantage in any long battle. Many times we see that the card has a strong attack but low health, so it falls out at the beginning. But this card is much more reliable in that aspect.
I played the battle in Modern Ranked mode, where every decision is very important. Here, it is not just about having a strong card, but also placing the right card in the right place. I placed Dar ‘Gottem’ Gearnut in a position in the team where it can contribute to both the support and attack of the team. From the beginning, I noticed that the opponent’s attacks were trying to break it with confidence, but due to the defense and health of the card, it was easily surviving.
My opponent in this battle was no less strong. His team had several high-powered cards, which were quite dangerous in terms of damage. Still, Dar ‘Gottem’ Gearnut withstood repeated attacks and kept the team balanced. Many times, it is seen that if there is a specific card, the strategy of the entire team becomes clearer. That is exactly what happened in this battle. This card seemed to become the foundation of the team.
Another important thing is the reflection or real performance of this card. Many times, we read or see about a card, it is not as effective as we expect in battle. But here the experience was completely the opposite. Enut showed a better performance than I expected. Especially in the middle and last rounds, its presence was creating big problems for the opponent.
The situation was not very easy at the beginning of the battle. In the first few rounds, both sides were doing almost equal damage. But as time went on, the importance of Dar ‘Gottem’ Gearnut became clear. When a few of my normal units fell, this card was still surviving and handling the opponent's attacks. As a result, my remaining cards were getting the opportunity to attack and gradually the control of the match was moving towards me.
Another big lesson from this battle is that expensive or popular cards are not always the key to victory. Often, using the right card in the right situation is the real strategy. Dar ‘Gottem’ Gearnut may not be the most talked about card, but this match proved that it is possible to win a match with this card if used correctly.
When the Victory screen came at the end, I really felt happy inside. This victory at Silver III rank not only increased the points, but also proved that the decision to buy a new card was the right one. +20 rating, SPS and other rewards—all in all, the day can be called a success.
From this experience, I understood one thing very clearly—after buying a new card, you should try it out in battle at least once. There can be a huge difference between just getting an idea by looking at the stats and actually using it on the field. In the case of Dar ‘Gottem’ Gearnut, this real-life experience was very positive.
