# Reward Shares (R-Shares)

For each **Modern or Wild** Ranked Battle won the player will be rewarded with Glint and Splintershards (SPS). Both are calculated from [RShares](https://docs.splinterlands.com/rewards/reward-shares-r-shares) (Reward Shares).

### **What is the Formula for Rshares?**

Reward Shares are used to calculate Glint and SPS rewards using the following formula. 

                          **Reward Shares= \[Rating X (1-%Starter Cards)]^3X Bonuses**

                     **-----------------------------------------------------------------------**

                                                                         **10^7**

Where “rating” is a player’s rating and bonuses are applied by card type, win streak, guild lodge level, and staked SPS multiplier. Since the rating is cubed, higher ratings earn significantly more RShares than lower ratings, so the best way to increase your RShares earned quickly is by increasing your rating.

*Please note that the rating is capped at 5000 for RShares calculations even if your actual rating in the game is above that.*

### **RShare Starter Card Penalty:**

#### Starter Cards

The RShares awarded per battle will be reduced for each starter card used by adjusting the RShare formula above.

Where ‘%\_starter cards’ is the percentage of the winning player’s cards in the battle that are starter cards. (This includes Summoners as well as Units).

As seen in the example table below, a team with 6 cards, 5 monsters, and a summoner, three of those being starter cards will yield 50% of the normal reward share value.
