Beyond that, Broad-bladed Sword is leagues better than Uruk-hai Sword and many minions can take advantage of Uruk Armor's vitality, which in turn makes Uruk Helm more attractive. Uruk Shield has a much better partner in the Berserkers both removing FP strength and gaining their own strength, and it also has more targets in Towers since the average deck doesn't have to plan for things like Cantea and Troop of Uruk-hai (in Fellowship block, you just pump a Hobbit). Ranger's Sword, Blade of Aragorn in particular is a big hit. That said, I've never been particularly tempted to use Parry in Towers. Maybe it's all fine.![[1]](https://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/Smileys/classic/1.png "1")
the cost is good, the stats line up in my opinion (good deal if you play it from hand, average if you play it from discard) and every deck could consider it. Maybe except archery, ironically enough. It kinda expands the minions you can use in archery, but it always being a combo with a minority of your minions holds it back. Making it better for archery definitely means increasing the cost, which is probably going to make it worse for non-archery. That's just how it goes: Raider Bow isn't a very attractive card for archery, and Southron Bow isn't a very attractive card for anything else.
