limit....

[Gil-Estel]

There are a few cards in Lotr tcg that have a inbuilt limit. Such as Mordor Warrior. But to what does this limit refer? The maximum bonus, so you can only make a companion -3, or the maximun bonus per card discarded, so maximum -3 per card even when you have like 6 other minions out?

[TheJord]

Limit refers to the inbuilt effect of the action. So for Mordor Warrior, its the reverse of Trust Me as you Once Did.

From the CRD
When a card has a limit, such as "(limit +3)," the limit applies to that card for an entire phase.

Specifically, Mordor Warrior can only make 1 companion -3 per skirmish phase. If you can only spot 1 minion, you can discard 3 cards to make that companion -3. If you can spot 2, the first card would be -2, then the second card would only be -1.

Hope this is clear enough.

The limit applies to that card only.  So if you have two Mordor Warrior's skirmishing one companion you can get up to -6.  Just as if you played two of Trust Me as you Once Did you would get a max of +6.  But yeah TJ is right, one Mordor Warrior cannot discard 6 cards to make a companion strength -18.

But he could make 6 companions -3, right?

Unlikely, since you would have to have had 10 cards in hand during your Shadow phase (Mordor Warrior + 3 orcs + 6 cards to discard).

Double-move?

Mordor Warrior only applies to the companion it is skirmishing, so only one companion gets to be down-sized.

  Good call.

Just to confirm, each copy of Trust Me as You Once Did only works to a maximum of three per site or skirmish? My understanding is site, as posted by TheJord from the CRD and per my debate (and being proved wrong) by Kralik.

Anything that has a limit "per phase" has its limits applied to individual skirmish phases.  So, with one copy of Trust, you could give each of your companions strength +3 in their skirmishes (assuming you have the exertions and Gandalf signets to do so, of course).

We were talking about the Sting limit, which is "once per site" (if you put it that way) since you can only have one Fellowship phase per site. It's really once per phase. You could actually use it at one site during your Regroup and then during Fellowship at the same site next turn.

Just to further clear up, it is not actually once per phase, but limits the twilight removed per phase. You could look at the opponent's hand as many times as you wanted (or had exertions for) but the maximum twilight that could be removed that phase is .

Yes, you are right ket. I meant "limit per phase" - poor choice of wording on my part. Thanks!

Which should be possible
