In Splinterlands games, players are constantly seeking ways to improve their strategies, strengthen their decks, and climb the ranks. The introduction of Glint rewards has added a new layer of excitement and strategy to the game, creating a self-sustaining cycle where skillful gameplay leads to better opportunities for deck enhancement.



This applies to both seasoned players and newcomers. The Glint system offers a rewarding way to engage with the game, combining strategy, skill, and resource management. The path to becoming a Splinterlands champion is now clearer than ever—start earning Glint, reinvest wisely, and watch your deck and victories grow.

Glint rewards are non-transferable in-game currency earned through participation in Modern or Wild Ranked Battles and by burning Soulbound Reward Cards. Players accumulate Glint throughout each season, with distributions occurring at the season's end as an additional reward. 

Glint is an in-game currency earned through victories in Modern and Wild Ranked Battles. Players are rewarded based on their performance, rating, and gameplay choices. The Modern format, known for its focus on newer cards, yields 50% more Glint per win compared to the Wild format, where all cards are available. This incentivizes players to adopt newer strategies and optimize their decks for the current meta.

Additionally, factors such as staked SPS tokens, guild bonuses, and Soulbound Reward Cards contribute to the Glint earnings, encouraging players to maximize their participation in ranked battles.

I often play Splinterlands battles during the weekends. On logging in today, I discovered I had some GLINT rewards to claim. I did and the accumulated sum was sufficient to buy a common card. I gladly did and that added to the league of Glint-earned cards in my deck. It was interesting to see that I have as many as 7 reward cards in my deck. About 4 are linked to Glint earnings.

I decided to try out the cards in battle to be sure they were not just consuming spaces in my deck. I started out with the water card - <b>[Giant Alpine Skink (8)](https://splinterlands.com/card-detail/666/regular/13?tab=stats)</b>. This is a powerful water monster unit in the Rebellion card set. The card at the basic level is rated 8 manna with 3 speed, 3 melee attack, 2 armor, and 6 health. It possesses the shield ability and later adds the phase and stun abilities.

<b>Giant Alpine Skink</b> was summoned to [battle](https://splinterlands.com/battle/sl_bc873b14331c5021f3914b1663bfee03?ref=uyobong) by <b>Kelya Frendul</b> alongside other monster units such as <b>Nerissa Tridawn, Deeplurker, and merdaali Guardian</b>. The battle was against the fiercest set of monsters (Cursed Windeku, Chaos Agent., Life Sapper, Supply Runner, Soul Strangler,  and Dhampir Stalker) summoned by Thaddius Brood. See screenshots of the battle below.

It was a fierce battle, however, the Glint reward monster contributed immensely during the second and third rounds of combat when it was in the first position on the battlefield.

My team won the battle with 36 Glint points. gGaining such points 4 more times would be sufficient for another purchase of a card.



The introduction of Glint in Splinterlands has redefined how players approach deck building and progression. The earn-and-upgrade cycle, allows players to achieve a self-sustaining path to success, turning their gameplay efforts into tangible improvements for their decks.
