Elowen Sylphie: Upcoming Archon with Furry Friends

Hello, furry pet owners! Hive account@saydie here, playing Splinterlands everyday!

As of the writing of this post, there were about 1 hour remaining before the second legendary Archon, Captain Frankie conquer the seas of Praetoria and show us how he would fare in battles. At the same time, the conflict period for Elowen Sylphie will also begin, and unlike the previous archon, which was a furry, we finally got an Archon with a human bloodline, but it was not just her; she also brings her three furry friends with her.

In this post, I want to take a look at this Archon, check for its potential card synergies, as well as its Conflicts requirements that could help players prepare their Wagons and Wagon Kits.

The Sixth Airdrop Card

Card Name	Elowen Sylphie
Card Type	Archon
Edition	Conclave Arcana
Mana Cost	7
Element	Earth
Bloodline	Human
Rarity	Legendary
Bloodline Dominion	Avian, Mundane Beast gets Charge
Tactics Abilities	2 units get Resurgence and Trample

Just like the previous legendary Archons, Elowen Sylphie also has a 7 mana cost, and I guess this will be the standard for the rest of the legendary airdrop, except maybe for the Dragon Archon if they follow the same pattern that they did with Rebellion Archons. This Archon has the Earth Element with the human Bloodline, but for its Bloodline Dominion, it takes dominion over Avian and Mundane Beast, so as long as there are cards with these two bloodlines in any of the available elements, they can be summoned by Elowen Sylphie and give the Charge ability, allowing units with melee damage to attack the opponent regardless of their position. At the same time, this Archon can also give the Resurgence and Trample ability on up to two units, allowing the cards to revive with full health once defeated at the cost of all the cards in the battle receiving 1 damage, and if it is a melee unit, it can attack the opponent once again if it defeats its target.

As of the moment, there are 12 Avian units and 18 Mundane Beast units that are available for use in modern.

And if we include the 3 units from Conclave Arcana that have the Shapeshift ability, then we have a total of 30 units that can be played using this Archon across all elements. Among these cards, there are 11 melee units that could benefit from the Bloodline ability of Elowen Sylphie. But aside from that, I think that what makes Elowen Sylphie a powerful archon is that many of the Avian units are among the best cards in the reward set, so having the ability to gather them in a battle lineup can result in spectacular card synergies.

To get a guaranteed copy of Elowen Sylphie, a player will need to have a minimum of 1,300 entries, with each entry worth 100,000 Points. It's 50 entries higher than Captain Frankie, and makes acquiring it more difficult. The chance to receive the airdrop card from each entry has also dropped to 0.077% (rounded off).

For every 25 cards they get, a player will get a guaranteed Gold Foil version of the card, and by using 50 alchemy potions per card, it can be reduced so that the guaranteed comes for every 13 copies. Players can also use 50 Midnight potions per entry to increase the chance of getting a Black Foil version of the card to 0.20% from its base chance of 0.10%.

Potion Type	Boost	Cost Per Card
Alchemy	Gold Foil chance 4% → 8%	50 potions
Midnight	Black Foil chance 0.1% → 0.2%	50 potions

Jackpot Additions

At the end of the conflict, there will be 1 Black Foil Arcane and 5 Gold Foil Arcane versions of Elowen Sylphie that will be added in the Conclave Arcana Jackpot Prices and can only be acquired through any of the Conclave Arcana packs except for the starter pack. There is also the mint #1 Black Foil version of the card, but that will be given to vugtis as a reward for being in the top 6 of the presale leaderboard.

Closing

And that was all for now for Elowen Sylphie. Looking at the potential synergies of this Archon with its Bloodline cards, I can say that it can potentially drive up the price of both the Avian and Mundane Beast units, not only within the core sets in modern, but most particularly with the reward cards.

Thank you, and see you on the next post!
