Hallo everybody

This week I want to have a look into the new jackpot cards for Frontier.
They have been live for about a week now and I wanted to share what they are and how I feel about them so far.

I play Frontier with three accounts and once those accounts reach gold it usually becomes a bit boring to collect dailies.
The dopamine is just not there anymore.
I really want packs and I love opening them.
Daily rewards should feel like an actual reward.

So the big question is simple.
Did jackpot cards bring that feeling back.

First Impressions

First of all I really like the idea of this new edition.
Frontier needed something extra and this feels like another step in the right direction.

Jackpot cards can be found in the daily rewards from Frontier mode.

Here is the downside.
The moment you see the number of chests you already know if you won something or not.
The excitement is already a bit less/gone, but still once you see such card it always nice.

Because of that I often do not even open the packs right away anymore, i have to postpone the excitement for what is in the packs.
My current strategy is to save them for a full week and then open everything at once.

Even then it can still be a bit disappointing lately.
Very few legendaries that I actually need.
RNG being RNG of course 😆

And just at the moment of writing this post and opening my weekly packs, this week it where 50 packs saved up, this happens.

And this is how it looks when you actually hit a jackpot card.

That feeling is definitely back.

Which Jackpot Cards Exist

There is one jackpot card for every rarity.

I must say the legendary looks very interesting.
The melee synergy combined with fire is something I really like.
Fire has never been my main go to splinter in Frontier.
This could actually shift the Frontier meta a bit.

Progress So Far

As you can see I already got lucky once.
Still a very long way to go to complete these cards.
Especially when you play with three accounts 😄

I do not see that as a bad thing at all.
It gives you something to work towards. But this might seems to be me a little low on the chance site, i hope it will keep the new player in frontier.
Long term goals are always healthy for a game, even in a mode like Frontier.

Final Thoughts

Overall I am very happy with this new mechanism.
It really shows how small a 1.5% chance actually is.
Playing daily on three accounts and hitting only one jackpot in a week puts that into perspective very fast.

This will take a long time to complete even for one account.
Let alone three.
But that is perfectly fine for me.

What do you think about the new jackpot cards.
Are you happy with them.
Or are you not playing Frontier at all.

Let me know in the comments.

See you on the battlefield 👋
