Hera Releases In-Depth Franks Guide After Patch 99404
Pro player Hera published a comprehensive Franks guide addressing the post-patch changes, including revised build orders and when to pivot away from the standard farm-into-knights opening.
Hera's guide covers the adjusted Franks farm bonus timing, recommending a slightly delayed Castle Age push. He suggests a new 21-pop Scout Cavalry opening that compensates for the eco nerf.
What This Means For You
If you play Franks, Hera's revised 21-pop build is worth learning. The old 22-pop farm rush is slightly weaker now. This is a direct response to the patch — high signal content.
