After a full season break, I've added Captain Frankie to my deck again, and I'm also going to test Elowen Sylphie this season, as this archon has performed well so far. In a battle last night, as soon as I saw Camouflage in the ruleset and Life in the active elements, I was almost sure I had to summon Captain Frankie for this battle. Why? Because when you know that no card can be directly targeted unless it's in the first position, it's the best situation to place your most powerful and smart cards at the back of the lineup and enjoy the battle. And if your deck lacks cards that can perform attacks even when placed last in the lineup, then Captain Frankie is the one to turn to. Watch the chain reaction of the Inspire ability with cards from its bloodline and make your cards ultra-lethal.馃敟
However, in this excitement, I also made a mistake, like instead of giving Piercing and True Strike abilities to the first card Apart From, I should have given this ability to the last card of the lineup as well because it was the most protected card due to Camouflage, so having Piercing and True Strike abilities together would have given me a quick victory. But this lineup was also good. The chain reaction of Captain Frankie's Mindblowing Inspire ability had increased the attack powers of every melee card of my team by several times, and apart from that, two of my cards also had Piercing and True Strike abilities, due to which some of the enemy cards were knocked out in just one attack.
Although my opponent also had the Life elements Janni Rebel in his lineup, whose Inspire ability increased the attack power of the enemy team's cards by +1, the impact of my multiple cards having the Inspire ability was so big that the enemy's cards couldn't survive on the battleground for even three rounds. It's one thing to tell all this, but you'll only get the full enjoyment of it by watching this battle live, so make sure you watch it. I am surprised to see the return of Captain Frankie; however, I also know that it cannot be considered a companion for every battle of Splinterlands, as this legendary archon also has some limitations, like the lack of health cards in its bloodlines, which is a major drawback, and that is why I did not use it last season. But last season with Elowen Sylphie and some different Archons, I felt that it is important to have some variety in Archons so that if needed, you can use the best possible archon. Like in this battle, I chose Captain Frankie without much thinking and in the battle with Equalizer ruleset also I would also like to use Captain Frankie without much thinking because the problem of lack of health cards in its bloodlines is solved in the battle with Equalizer ruleset. So, the rules of the battleground determine which archon can be best, so it's important to have a variety of options that support your strategies to the best possible extent.鉁岋笍
