Captain Farron slides into the Noxus arsenal as a textbook tempo piece: a sturdy 4-cost unit with a respectable 5 power that turns your entire melee squad into a one-two punch.
In a set full of “legion” triggers and accelerate tricks, Farron stakes a claim in aggressive board strategies by simply existing alongside your front line.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
At its core, Captain Farron’s ability—“Other friendly units here have Assault 1 (+1 🛡 while they’re attackers)”—turns token chaff and midrange beaters into credible threats.
Played on Turn 4, Farron punches in for five damage and immediately grants Assault to your other units in that lane, effectively enabling two-for-one trades or surprise burst damage.
Pair him with low-cost jednotks like Legion Rearguard or utility blockers like Thorn Lieutenant, and you’re forcing chump blockers into bad trades or skipping blockers altogether.
Unlike Anthem buffs that sit passively, Farron’s bonus only applies in combat, rewarding decks built around consistent attacking rather than passive defense.
Visuals
Six More Vodka paints Farron as the steel-clad enforcer of a Trifarian phalanx, flails swinging overhead amid stormy embers.
The brutish captain dominates the foreground, his armor dented but unbowed, while his lieutenants brace at his side.
The muted grays and blood-orange highlights mirror his battlefield effect—gritty resolve that ignites your lesser troops with offensive grit.

Collector Insight: Farron sits squarely in the competitive foil targets of aggressive Noxus players. Early drafts suggest he will see play in most midrange/agro builds, making foil copies a modest chase for Noxus aficionados.
Captain Farron won’t revolutionize the meta, but as a 4-drop that both threatens damage and buffs your lineup, he’s the dependable anchor aggressive decks crave.
In a format hungry for consistent tempo plays, Farron delivers on both offense and board pressure.
