Greetings, Summoners!
Today, we’re diving into the curious and versatile Elanor Bravefoot, a Legendary Neutral card from the Rebellion Promo Edition. With its unique combination of abilities, this zero-mana unit brings surprising value to your lineup. Let’s explore how this lightweight powerhouse can make a big impact despite its tiny stats and mana cost.
Card Overview
- Name: Elanor Bravefoot
- Splinter: Neutral
- Rarity: Legendary
- Mana Cost: 0
Stats at Max Level (4):
- Ranged Damage: 2
- Speed: 3
- Armor: 0
- Health: 2
Abilities
Weary
- At the start of the battle, Elanor’s unique presence triggers the Weary debuff, forcing allied units to become more vulnerable as the battle progresses. This ability can be a double-edged sword, requiring strategic placement to mitigate its drawbacks while maximizing her utility.
Blasphemy of Uul
- For every allied card named Fiend on the battlefield, Elanor gains +1 Ranged Damage. This synergy allows her to scale into a surprising offensive threat when paired with multiple Fiends.
Strengthen
- Provides +1 health to all friendly units, increasing the durability of your entire team and adding value to defensive or sustain-based compositions.
Strengths
Zero Mana Cost:
- Elanor Bravefoot is essentially a free card, allowing you to fill your lineup without impacting your mana pool. This makes her especially valuable in low-mana battles.
Scaling Potential:
- The Blasphemy of Uul ability can turn Elanor into a legitimate damage dealer when combined with Fiends, scaling her Ranged Damage to surprising levels.
Teamwide Buff:
- Strengthen adds survivability to all allies, synergizing well with tanks and sustain-based strategies.
Neutral Flexibility:
- Being Neutral allows Elanor to fit seamlessly into any Splinter, adding utility without requiring specific alignment considerations.
Weaknesses
Fragility:
- With only 2 Health and no Armor, Elanor is highly susceptible to Blast, Sneak, or Opportunity attacks.
Weary Drawbacks:
- The Weary ability can hinder your team’s performance over time, making her less ideal for drawn-out battles or compositions reliant on Retaliate.
Dependent Scaling:
- Blasphemy of Uul requires Fiends to unlock its full potential, limiting her effectiveness in lineups without them.
Strategic Synergies
1. Fiend Lineups:
Elanor’s Blasphemy of Uul ability thrives when paired with multiple Fiends. These zero-mana units not only enhance Elanor’s Ranged Damage but also preserve valuable mana for stronger units in your lineup.
2. Protectors:
- Pair Elanor with frontline tanks like Shieldbearer (Life Splinter) or Mycelic Infantry (Earth Splinter) to keep her safe from enemy attacks.
- Use armor-buffing units like Arkemis the Bear to add a layer of defense to her fragile health pool.
3. Amplify Synergy:
While Elanor doesn’t directly benefit from Amplify, combining her with units that reflect damage (like Magic Reflect or Thorns) can capitalize on the additional survivability provided by Strengthen.
4. Low-Mana Battles:
In matches with restrictive mana caps, Elanor’s zero-mana cost makes her an invaluable addition, providing free utility and offensive presence without compromising your lineup.
Best Rule Sets
Little League:
- Elanor shines in this rule set, where only low-mana cards can be used. Her zero-mana cost ensures she fits perfectly into any lineup.
Equal Opportunity:
- While fragile, Elanor’s Ranged Damage allows her to target low-health enemy units effectively in this rule set.
Explosive Weaponry:
- With all attacks dealing Blast damage, Elanor can chip away at enemy backlines while remaining protected behind tanks.
Keep Your Distance:
- In rule sets prohibiting melee units, Elanor’s Ranged Damage and teamwide Strengthen make her a valuable asset.
Final Thoughts
Elanor Bravefoot is a deceptively powerful zero-mana card that can add immense value to your lineup when used strategically. Her unique abilities, particularly Blasphemy of Uul, allow her to scale into a surprising offensive threat, while Strengthen enhances the survivability of your entire team. However, her fragility and reliance on Fiends for maximum effectiveness require careful team-building and positioning.
