Make Quora Great Again
With less than 24 hours left in the season, I finally made it into Champion 1, after being so close so, SO many times. I don't get why I suck so much at getting streaks. I barely string a couple wins together and have to muscle my way in every bloody season - It is friggen' tiring!
While I see people in the top 50 I beat sometimes at least with streaks of 10 or 20+, Here I am with a maximum of 6 - and that is rare through the season. I don't have the best set of cards to be playing up at this level perhaps, but still, I wish it was at least sometimes a bit easier - just to make me feel like I don't completely suck. So many of my streak hurdles came at the hands of bots too...
GRRRrrrrrr.
But, I am there now and will start the next season with about a half full charge of energy, but will likely wait a day or so before I start the "campaign" to get slaughtered once again. This season, I got closer to a 50% win record, but still fell short unfortunately.
Sad.
One good thing to happen however, was opening some Gladiator packs and getting a Quora. I have been waiting for a long, long time (in my head) to get just one more, so now I have a Level-3 - Which comes with Immunity, meaning that it can't be Poisoned, Knocked Out, Crippled etc, which makes it much more useful again. It used to be a beast with Llama, but with so many ways to disable her, she became close to useless.
Will Immunity MQGA?
Make Quora Great Again.
I hope so, because the next useful step in her upgrade pack is two levels away, where she would get Dispel, which clears all positive effects on a monster. However, that is 22 more cards away, which is over double what I currently have received in over a year of brawling. Though, I have heard some people struggle to get one at all.
Of course, it is still prone to getting Giant Killed.
Which is what happened in my first time playing it. To be fair though, it was a rush input for a tournament and I threw the team together with the laziest setup imaginable.
Sometimes being lazy is enough.
Though, rarely for me.
I guess everyone feels this way, but sometimes I do get the sense that I have to work a little bit harder than a lot of people to get some success and, I tend not to be as lucky overall. Some people just seem to fall on their feet, no matter what they do - it always works out in their favor.
I was thinking about this a little in terms of Splinterlands recently, because I feel that a lot of the battles with a chance of random, don't go my way. Poison or Affliction don't get laid often or soon enough, scattershot consistently hits the one monster it shouldn't, and miss, after miss, after miss.
You know what I am talking about?
It would be interesting to see the statistics over a long period of time comparing all of the statistics on individual accounts to see who is luckiest and unluckiest. I suspect that there would actually be a difference, just because life tends to work that way - even if random. I also wonder if it is possible to "blacklist" or "whitelist" an account and reduce or increase the percentage of luck it gets.
Card drops and chests too?
I am not saying this is happening, but I just find it interesting, considering it is a digital game and all and very possible to do in the code. It might be an interesting anti-bot measure, where if a bot is identified, it is percentage buffed :D
I am guessing that proposal wouldn't go through.
Right, 17 hours left until it all starts again, but before that, I will have some EOS chests to open.
Probably a few more potions.

I've got a Level 2 Gold Quora and she really does seem mostly unbeatable... so I imagine a Level 3 Quora just absolutely dominates.
Well done getting into Champs I!!!
If I push hard and get real lucky I might be able to push into Champs III. Let's goooooo!
I make some silly choices in some rounds - trying to trick the bots... unsuccessfully! :D
Go hard. You still have time :)
Lol, when I read Quora, I thought the Q&A website (that I used a lot and where I also created valuable connections).
But it seems like it's a game, so I cannot be of help here 🤣
:D :D
I was wondering after I posted if this might happen! :D
I'm at least the 3rd person to comment with that interpretation, I see.
I felt the same way.
Is it the fault of the title or our conditioning? :D
I'm just looking for a quick laugh.
!PGM !LOL !LUV !gif cheers

Is Quora a game? Oh no, I am not into games. But I will learn these things soon.
When I saw your post at first, I was thinking that you were talking about the Quora website not knowing that you were talking about a game.
Nice game!!!!
You aren't the only one :)
Now, why did I ever think this post might relate to that old Web2.0 crowdsourced answer forum? 😂
:D
Out of curiosity, do you look at the tag or community before clicking into the post? Just wondering, as I find myself checking the first tag often over the last few years, but not sure if others do.
Yeah. The preview of the first part of the post was also a bit of a hint.
I haven't made it into diamond in I can't tell you how long. I actually feel there are getting to be far too many cards. They need to increase the time you get to choose if they are going to keep adding cards. It's impossible to sift through them all. Either that or introduce more filters beyond the base three they have. Maybe let me filter by specific abilities. Not just mele, magic, and ranged.
This is where the bots have a major advantage. I feel rushed at times to get a team in and make some bad choices for card and position. They get it right nearly every time. I think they should also have more filters - like a glad filter. Also perhaps some favorite settings.
Yeah, things like that would be really cool to just make things easier.
Thanks for sharing! - @azircon
Quora with immunity is formidable. Just try to trigger the first bloodlust. Then it’s invincible
I need to make better decisions with my lineups. I should be better than I am.

I played splinterlands around one year ago for few times, now after Reading some articles about splinterlands including this one I am thinking about to start playing splinterlands again
Give it a go :)
OK Sr. ❤️
Recently I placed rat before QUORA. results were awesome- QUORA went on rampage and killed nearly all enemies.
But I had no idea that it gets immunity. Seems like an improved version of Kron. Of course I only have this monster at level 2. And with my luck pulling 6 more copies will take a while...
Level 2 is high for where you play I think?
Yep. It makes for a bit of a beast :)
I have a level 2 Quora and I am close to making that level 3 (about 1-2 copies off). It's kind of weird to think about it but those higher leagues look rough. I wouldn't even win many if I were to go towards Champion because my deck is nowhere strong enough.
I rent a bit, but not as much as I used to. I should try renting more though, as it isn't "that bad" price-wise at the moment.
Great post! 👍
I love using Quora too but like what you said, there are just so many ways to disable her nowadays with new rulesets and abilities 😣
This season feels exceptionally hard for me and I'm stuck for the longest time in Diamond 1, hoping to break into Champ with 2 more hours to go! Final stretch 🤞
Good luck for the EOS, may luck be in our favor! 😁
Did you make it into c3?
EOS wasn't so great for me this round.
Oh yeah , finally did like right before the EOS! 😄
Yeah same thing here, EOS chests weren't great for me too.
Getting loads of potions and very little SPS 😫
Good luck with the EOS chests. I am still finding my Quora - so far none after 33 Gladius cases and counting.
How do you know how many glad cases you have opened?
Hmm filter by Gladius cards on Peakmonsters, I have 165 BCX (which is different from cards), so that works out to be 33 cases.
Smarter than the average bear! :D
Hehehe! You flatter me!
255 packs for me
That's a lot!!! Hahaha.. We are on a different level! Lol!
Congrats on your Lvl 3 Quora. I finally got my first Gold Foil Quora after 16 months of brawling, so I hope the next GF comes more quickly so I can have a GF Lvl 3 Quora to match yours.
I actually made it up to Wild Champ 1 for the very first time this past season, but I still had 18 hours left to play. Instead of playing it safe and staying in Champ 1 for the EoS, to go back to Champ 3 after the reset, I decided to press my luck and battle for more chests.
Well, that did not work out so great because I did earn a handful more chests, but I could not make it back into Champ 1 despite my best effort. So at the reset, I was bumped back down to Diamond 1, where I have been battling for the first three days of the new season just trying to get back into Champ 3. I think I learned my lesson this time and will make more of an effort to try and finish the season in Champ 1 for the smaller step down.
I hope the randomization goes in your favor for the EoS chest rewards!
I have never made it to C1 wild and now with the playing limits, I don't have a good enough win rate to play both. Sad. I am struggling in modern to get out of C3! :D
every guild now deciding from blocking Llama to blocking Quora. It's funny
