Hello there! 
@saydie here, playing Splinterlands everyday!
Starlight Caravan was Splinterlands' most recent set, but unlike the typical card set that is designed to be on Modern Ranked, this new set was specifically made for Frontier Mode, though just like Frontier cards, you can also use Starlight Caravan in Modern to some extent. This set consisted of 6 Archons and 30 units, all of which are capped at Silver level. They also had a far higher mana cost in contrast to their stats and abilities so that they would not overshadow Modern cards with the same card level.
In this post, I want to take a look at the Water cards of Starlight Caravan.
Starlight Caravan Water Cards
There are a total of 5 cards under the Starlight Caravan Water Element. Four of them were Water units, while the remaining one is an Archon. Their stats and abilities were not that strong were not that strong in comparison to other modern cards at the same level, but if it is mainly for Frontier use, then having more cards gives the player more flexibility and advantage than his opponent.
Elbar Bravepath is a non-damage unit with the Gnome Bloodline, meaning that it does not have an attack. Furthermore, it has the Untrainable debilitation, so players can't use Weapon's Training to give an attack on this card. That said, it has the Dispel ability, so whenever Noxious Fumes ruleset were present, or your unit gets a status debuffs, it can be used to remove them. When it comes to its general stats, it has a maximum of 1 armor, health of 4, and a maximum speed of 4, for only 3 mana. There also hasn't been a 3-mana card in Frontier until Starlight Caravan was introduced, so the addition of this card will certainly change how some matches are played.
On the other hand, Drowned Oracle is a ranged unit with the Elf Bloodline, so this one can attack with ranged damage, and it was decently fast with a maximum of 4 speed but only has 5 health. It can also only inflict 2 ranged damage at most, so it was definitely weak for a 6 mana card, but it has the Repair Guard ability, so it can restore the armor of the unit that is behind it, and is a must have when your opponent uses Sneak units to attack your backline.

For the only epic unit, "Bellows" O'rourke was a melee water unit with the Bruteborn Bloodline, and could attack the opponent with the lowest health through its Opportunity ability. That said, it was really slow with only 1 speed, and when it comes to its other stats, it has a maximum of 2 melee damage, 3 armor, and 6 health at 7 mana cost.
And for the Water Legendary unit, we have Stormwarden, who has the Giant Bloodline. At max level, it has a max health of 6, max speed of 4, max armor of 2, and a max melee damage of 3, making it quite a powerful card despite its low health, but it also costs 9 mana to use, so it is not really a spammable card. For its abilities, it has the Sneak ability, which allows it to attack the backline unit of your opponent's team, and the Divine Shield ability, which makes it immune to the first attack that it receives.
Finally, with the only Water Archon of the Starlight Caravan, Thobee River. There was not much to say about this Archon, since it does not give any type of abilities to units, and even though it's an Awakened Beast Archon, it does not have a Bloodline Dominion, so you cannot really use it to summon Awakened Beast units from other elements. Its saving grace is that it only costs 4 mana to use, so it is far cheaper than the other Frontier Archons and makes it possible to have Little League Battles in Frontier .
Closing
And those were the Fire cards under the Starlight Caravan. Some great takeaway from it is that Frontier now has a 3-mana card, a less mana-hungry Archon, and a new ability that could help players win their matches when properly utilized.
Thank you, and see you on the next post!
