General Strategy

A straightforward event, Valor is part of the suite of cards released in The Two Towers to give Elves a chance to compete with other Free Peoples cultures as fighters rather than relying solely on archery. As with earlier [Elven] skirmish events, Valor costs [1] twilight and will always give at least 2 strength, with a bonus if a condition is met. While Defiance and Border Defenses granted a +4 strength boost only against certain types of minions, a majority of minions can be wounded which makes Valor's +3 easier to attain and more universally useful.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Wounded minions

Weak Versus...

Event-heavy Shadow sides which might make better use of the added twilight than the Free Peoples

Rules and Clarifications

As with most events, Valor takes a "snapshot" of the game when it is played. If a wounded minion is fully healed after Valor is played, the Elf will retain a +3 strength bonus. Likewise if an unwounded minion becomes wounded in a skirmish after Valor is played, the Elf will only be strength +2.
