•Legolas, Defender of Helm’s Deep
Companion • Elf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Signet: Berethor
While Legolas bears a unique hand weapon, he is damage +1.
Skirmish: Play a or skirmish event to make Legolas strength +1. Then, if Legolas is unwounded or at a battleground, you may exert him to take that event back into hand.
“‘This is a fight we cannot win. It will become a massacre.’”

Fair enough but i have to point out D tried making a fighter legolas the companion of the ring, but he was totally disregarded in favour of archery legolas’. Why would you want a legolas that didnt shoot stuff, there are lots better fighter elves out there! But this card is fine DI.

Woodland Strike
Event • Skirmish
Exert an Elf bearing a hand weapon to wound a minion. Then, if that Elf is at a battleground or forest site, exert that minion.
Years of guarding their realms from Orcs has given the Elves of Mirkwood and Lothlórien unmatched skill in battle, skills which proved invaluable against the Uruks at Helm’s Deep.

Why am i the only 1 to think this is weird AND OP. Weird cos why would you want to wound THEN exert, OP cos youre potentially getting 2 wound tokens for 1 exertion and 1 pool. Its hard enough as it can wound any minion even for example a minion assigned to fight the RB which is ridiculously useful, but it then has even more gametext! I’d cut the entire second line or changed it to not assigned to a skirmish.

Uruk Hewer
Event • Skirmish
Exert an Elf to wound a minion assigned to skirmish a companion (except the Ring-bearer). Then, if that Elf bears a hand weapon, make that minion strength -2 (or -4 if that minion is an Uruk-hai).
Though known across Middle-Earth for his skill with the bow, it was Legolas’ knife-work that was the doom of many Uruk-hai on the Deeping Wall.

See youve covered the issue with the previous one here, cost is up and its not skirmishing the RB. Even still i think this is incredibly good. Elves have typically had archery wounding not skirmish wounding and its making them look REALLY powerful.

You know what would be awesome? And exert to make enduring event.

Make some tweaks after lem0n’s review. Hopefully, Woodland Strike is more to his liking now.

Still no specific weapon for Legolas, but we’ll get there. For now, let’s stick with brawling. Here are Idrial’s skirmishing talents. She’s not the most powerful fighter in The Third Age, but her sword skills are more useful than people usually give her credit for.

P.S. - The names are straight from TTA, so I know they’re a little...meh. If you have any better suggestions, let me hear ’em!

Fluid Strike
Event • Skirmish
Make an Elf strength +2 (or +3 if bearing a hand weapon).
Elven swords are long, curved, waisted blades...excellent for broad, punishing sweeps.
except it costs 1. make it 0 IMHO...though maybe it is better at one otherwise it overshadows supporting fire and valor and such

Weakening Slash
Event • Skirmish
Exert your Elf to exert a minion skirmishing that Elf and make that minion strength -2.

should be precision strike IMHO [b]

[b]Stunning Strike
Event • Skirmish
Exert an Elf skirmishing a fierce minion to make that Elf strength +2. If that Elf wins that skirmish, each minion in that skirmish loses fierce and is unable to gain fierce until the regroup phase.

stunning blow IMSO.

Elven Rampage
Event • Skirmish

Elven Long Sword
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be an Elf.
Well-balanced Elven swords can be used with one or two hands.

As plain as it gets, but where else can Elves get an automatic +2 weapon so cheaply? I almost made this , actually...should I?

Steel War Sword
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +1
Bearer must be an Elf.
Skirmish: Play an skirmish event to make a minion skirmishing bearer strength -1.
Elven swords were unique in Middle-earth, representing the pinnacle of matching a weapon to the warrior who wielded it.
