Steps Of Edoras question

[Silver]

The Steps of Edoras card makes all Gondor companions defender +1 until end of turn. But what I don't understand is, how is this useful if nobody fights at site 1 anyways?

[CCCORNIV]

The defender +1 would still be in effect when you move to site 2 and also if you choose to double move to site 3.

Your turn doesn't end until you stop moving, basically.

Thanks guys.

Although, technically, you could fight at Site 1K with A Dark Shape Sprang. Of course, there'd be no assignment phase, so defender +1 would only help with cards like Swordarm of the White Tower.

In fact, now that I think about it, playing Swordarm of the White Tower in an A Dark Shape Sprang skirmish seems to be the only time it matters if you're defender +1 at any Site 1.

Or if you have Aragorn, Heir of Elendil.

Or I guess defender modifiers like Anduril, King's Blade.
