As we draw ever closer to the new year, let me share one of my biggest wishes for Splinterlands in 2024. I am talking about making General Sloan great again.

If you check the market for the cheapest modern summoner, you will find that Sloan is number one in the list. Spending four mana in order to give all your ranged units an extra damage boost seems like a good deal. But General Sloan was overshadowed by other summoners like Grandmaster Rathe and the dreaded Ilthaine with her Return Fire ability.

I did a post about this topic a few months ago when Untamed was still a dominant part of the modern meta. But now that Rebellion has been released and new cards have been added to the collection, let's check out what are the ones that may benefit General Sloan.

Snipers

First we have two new ranged snipers, Nimbledook Ranger and Aria Bandit. The Aria Bandit deals a decent damage while having a form of evasion for when monsters try to do a sneak attack. And we also have the Numbledook Ranger with double strike. Amplying each attack with Sloan's range damage boost can deal serious damage to enemies. Having both of them on the field with Snipe can ensure that an enemy unit aside from the tank is going to die early on in the match.

Lookouts

Next we have the Lookout ability. Thanalorian Archer may be a magic dealer but is also a sniper. You can fit him perfectly in between Nimbledook Range and Aria Bandit for a solid protection against opportunity, sneak and ambush which ranged monsters are very susceptible to. Pallus on the other hand is a good secondary tank while also having the Lookout ability.

Taunter

Finally, we have the frontline defense. The most common strategy in tactical games is to put your sturdiest unit in front and make it absorb all incoming damage. And for the past modern meta, Shieldbearer has done a great job of doing that role. And with the arrival of Rebellion, it introduced us to a stronger version of Shieldbearer. That is Bera Dallin. Having her as a taunter will make sure that all ranged monsters would be protected while dealing heavy backline offensive. Plus, higher levels of Bera grant her shield and void armor, allowing her to absorb all types of attack. To top it all off, her offensive capabilities are insanely high due to Armored Strike.

So those are few of the Rebellion cards that caught my attention when it comes to improving General Sloan's lineups. We will see if the future reward and airdrop cards are also useful to Sloan. But I'm looking forward to a great new year and I will try to utilize these new cards on General Sloan.
