Okay. Maybe limit to the start of each fellowship phase.

I suppose that’s fine, and probably needed with these weak ones.

Truly nasty with Nertea’s text, but balanced, I suppose. Perhaps bring it down to Legendary  . |

One of the key themes of these Men is giving you an effect without any choice in the matter to represent the inherent danger in relying on fundamentally evil men to protect your ring! Hence, if you can’t spot a Shadow condition and you win a fight with this guy, you may be less than ammused.

Otsea’s twilight cost is -1 for each Man you can spot.

Is anyone going to review this or should I just give up the set now?

Fair enough, though I personally probably wouldn’t use him as he’s a little too risky for my blood. Maybe make him a rare-for- resistance 7.

The main use of him, DI, is that you can start him with High-King RB plus Lemenya and Nertea. But thank you for finally reviewing him - it’s just frustrating to want people’s thoughts and see them online without giving them. And because I’m trying to parallel FP with Shadow, I need both to move at the same pace.

Like the parallel to Ulaire Nelya with the site thing. Like the drawback of 0 resistance. Good and solid.

+2 str and damage +1 with Artifact for 0 cost? I suppose the drawback is high. Btw, does the FP player have to add to discard his own legendary artifact?

The potential drawback of the need to exert a character will only really occur if he is skirmishing an exhausted minion to start with. Maybe it should trigger at the end of a skirmish which Nelya wins in order to allow wounds/kills to be placed first.

He is defender +1.
defender +1 is worth a lot more than damage +1. Look at I will go (or whatever it’s called, the 3 twilight Gondor condition that only works with initiative). I might give him defender +1 as long as his resistance is 2 or more.
Hope that helps,

No, currently it’s worded that an opponent has to and you don’t. I also figured with the resistance modifier and the fact that it goes to the dead pile was enough to give it a powerful ability.

Sorry, I completely mucked up this card. Each time the text said Nelya, it should have said Cantea. And it does only trigger when he wins a fight. Changed now.

I was thinking that defender bonuses also didn’t help his text that triggers when he wins. I wanted to give him a keyword without adding strength like terror or damage like the last two, but all the others I could think of were Shadow only. Any thoughts?

Yeah, thanks.

Understood. I’m not saying it’s a bad card, just one I personally probably wouldn’t use.

Now THIS guy I’d use. Probably my favorite Man yet.

Useful, certainly. Too bad you can’t start him AND Nelya, but it’s better-balanced that you can’t.

Ah, turn him into a suicidal guy. Kind of counter-productive to his skirmish-winning ability, but that’s okay. |

Archer? Don’t know if that makes any sense at all. I don’t mind defender +1 but it is a bit too cheap to give it away like that. I would have it only work sometimes, or have the ring give -3 resistance but that would break the cycle.
Muster? Are you already using muster?
