Hello Splinterlands summoners! The sixth Conclave Arcana Conflicts airdrop was announced to be forthcoming. In the excitement of the gamechanger Avatars & Exemplars, the new cards announced seemed to have flown over the radar. Elowen Sylphie is an Earth splinter, dual bloodline (Avian and Mundane Beast), legendary archon. Let's do a deep dive in her abilities and possible team combos.

Lore

From Splinterlands lore, Elowen Sylphie is a literal summoner, particulary of animals. She is a beast master who found bonds with Avian and Mundane Beast bloodlines. She calls them in battle not to be slaughtered but to fight for evil, particulary against Mahkah Hemlig's army.

Elowen called out with the bond she'd carried since childhood. She showed the animals of the forest what Mahkah was doing. The ruin spreading across the land. The homes destroyed. The creatures crushed beneath falling stone and uprooted trees.

Wolves padded from the shadows. Elk emerged from the mist, antlers branching like crowns. Hawks circled overhead. Bears rumbled from caves. Badgers, foxes, boars, wildcats, and more. The forest answered and kept answering.

They march across the Broken Lands now, wood owlkin and beasts led by a wild elf. In battle, Elowen fights alongside her allies, but her true weapon is the bond she shares with the creatures at her side. Fangs and claws harry the flanks. Beaks and talons dive from above. Antlers and tusks crash into enemy lines. Elowen and her owlkin follow close behind.

Abilities and Possible Combos

Elowen Sylphie is a tactics archon. She grants Resurgence and Trample abilities to two units. For Avian and Mundane Beasts, she grants the Charge ability, allowing melee units to attack from any position. Her abilities and Bloodline Dominion buffs suggest it will be best to use her with melee units that can take advantage of the abilities she gives. Trample performs another melee attack against the unit in the next position after using a melee attack to defeat a unit while Charge allows melee units to attack from any position. With that in mind, let's check out the melee units that she can summon. Let's start with Avians and Mundane Beasts.

Skyspire Leopard	Giant Alpine Skink	Endless Ape

The three units above share something in common. They are all melee units with four or higher attack that can only attack from the tank position. They are also all Mundane Beasts. They can be great units to use with Elowen Sylphie since they can have the Charge ability. They can now take positions in the rear and let us have another choice to play in the tank position. Skyspire Leopard and Giant Alpine Skink will be great units to guard the rear against sneak attackers. Endless Ape can be placed in the middle and let him accumulate health with his Scavenger ability and fight as the last unit with lots of health. They can also take advantage of Trample with their high melee attacks.

Now let's check out the Earth splinter melee units that can be summoned by Elowen. These units can take advantage of Trample and Resurgence abilities.

Thanalorian Blade	Folen Flameye	Warborn Chieftain	Skrag the Gnaw

Folen Flameye, Warborn Chieftain and Skrag the Gnaw are great tanks by their own right. With Elowen Sylphie, they can gain Resurgence and Trample abilities. Resurgence will make them stay in battle longer while Trample will allow them to not waste their high melee attacks by attacking adjacent units after their target has been defeated. For the Thanalorian Blade who can attack from any position and already has Trample, she can surely benefit from Resurgence which gives her another lease on life after being defeated.

The Best Unit to Pair with Elowen

Perhaps the best unit to pair with Elowen is none other than Heloise the Hollow. Her insane melee damage of eight will surely benefit from the Trample ability granted by Elowen. Heloise already has abilities like Spite and Soul Siphon which punishes the enemy and resurrects her upon defeat. Add another ability like Resurgence which deals damage upon resurrection together with Spite and she can do a lot of damage to the enemy. It seems like Heloise was the unit in mind to combo when Elowen was designed. Those that have Heloise must have a maxed Elowen in their deck to take advantage of this insane combo.
