Love 'em or hate 'em, you have to admit that there really is no baseball town like St. Not only is there a statue of George Sisler outside of Busch Stadium, but this spring a local public television station released an excellent documentary about the Brownies, who bolted for Baltimore 65 years ago. Heck, even the history of the long-gone Browns has a place in St. There are some Cardinals legends, trotted out as they are every Opening Day, parading in front of a fence adorned with images of even more legends. Just look at this photo from the Cardinals' home opener. Louis, where history has a special cache. There's too much happening in the here and now to worry too much about the feats of mostly dead men. HISTORICAL STANDINGS DON'T get a lot of play in the sports news cycle. In superteam era, Cardinal Way still the only way in St.

This means all due focus should be on her and not the minions, only thinning out the herd if they become too inconvenient. The Cardinal is able to continuously summon kett forces during the fight.Most tactics for dealing with Ascendants also apply to her. The Cardinal is, in essence, just an Ascendant colored red but with a lot more hitpoints as befitting a gameplay "boss" character.The Cardinal may only be harmed once her orb is destroyed, but she will quickly generate a new orb after a few seconds. This small device orbits her and projects an energy force field that protects her from all attacks. The Cardinal is accompanied at all times by her Orb. This heavily-damaging attack ignores cover and can stagger characters out of it.Īt close range, she can grab a target in a gravity-sphere, then collapse the sphere to crush the victim for an insta-kill. Alternatively, she can unleash a ball-lightning-like attack which conducts electricity to nearby enemies. The Cardinal's conventional attack is a targeted electric shock. If her offer is rejected, she is dismayed and attempts to stop the intruders, though she's shot dead by Jaal in the process. Ryder can disagree by shooting her down, or opt to let it slide. She muses that Ryder's decision is apparently the product of them seeing the merits of becoming a kett. If the Pathfinder accepts the Cardinal's offer, she keeps her word and departs the scene. Jaal Ama Darav votes on keeping the base so that the Resistance can rescue the captives, while Moshae Sjefa declares that the base must be destroyed. In return, the Cardinal will order to have all captured angara at the base to be released. The Pathfinder's team persistently pursues her there, where she challenges them into a fight, all the while frantically shouting to her subordinates to defend the Moshae.Īfter the Cardinal's defeat, she pleads mercy to the Pathfinder, begging to have the base (or temple as she calls it) to be spared. She replies that she is being prepared for final exaltation, the process of genetically transforming angara into kett.īy the time Moshae Sjefa is about to be exalted, Ryder has successfully breached the chamber they're in, prompting the Cardinal to escort the Moshae to a hangar bay. Following a diversion that Pathfinder Ryder's angaran allies trigger, she is quickly questioned by the Archon if Moshae Sjefa is ready for transport. The Cardinal is first seen inside a temple-like chamber in the facility giving a "fortunate welcome" to the angara who have been "chosen to be exalted".
