This is always one of the things you never want to see. Even with your own site manipulation, ability cancelling, and giving less twilight you're bound to go against it here and there. What's some of your best counters to this combination?
Right now I'm playing Madril and
Powerful Guide, but have interest in Elves eventually.
For Gondor I find I can rely on
Armor to just take a wound from each skirmish if I can't kill him (which is hard without archery / maneuver phases or skirmish abilities).
Powerful guide can still loop spells / wounds against him fairly well.
What other options have you all found? Even in other cultures. I'm curious to find what can deal with this situation.
