'''Uruk Engineer''' is a [[Glue|glue]] [[minion]] for [[Uruk Machines]] or occasionally [[Uruk Archery]]. It exists just to power up [[machine]] [[condition]]s like {{Card|Weapons of Isengard}} or {{Card|Devilry of Orthanc}}, either for their own effects or for later use by a minion like {{Card|Berserk Savage}} or {{Card|Berserk Slayer}}. Uruk Engineer adds tokens to machines rather than [[Reinforce|reinforcing]] them, so there's nothing stopping you from stacking tokens on cards that don't have any at all, or on a machine like {{Card|Siege Engine}} that can't use them itself.

* ''Common pitfalls of using this card''


Uruk Engineer competes with its cheaper cousin, {{Card|Uruk Sapper}}. The Sapper has the same game text and [[vitality]], so it's a matter of whether it's worth a small price increase to have just enough [[strength]] to occasionally win skirmishes with support [[companion]]s, or whether its game text is so important that you'd like to have more than four minions that add tokens to machines. If you're not interested in is game text, there are better alternatives like {{Card|Uruk Warrior}}, {{Card|Uruk Lieutenant}}, or {{Card|Uruk Captain}}. Because it rarely does anything on its own but costs more than the Sapper, it's very easy to cut it from your deck so that it runs a bit more efficiently.
== Deckbuilding Strategy ==
''In this section, describe:''


Always remember to play it using {{Card|Siege Engine}} if you have that card in play, rather than playing it on its own. It's easy to forget.

* [[Machine]]s. This card does one thing and that's stack [[culture tokens]] on machine [[condition]]s like {{Card|Weapons of Isengard}} or {{Card|Devilry of Orthanc}}. In turn, it works well with the minions that work well with those machines, including the berserker [[uruk-hai]] who consume [[culture tokens]], like {{Card|Berserk Savage}} and {{Card|Berserk Slayer}}, and [[uruk-hai]] [[archer]]s like {{Card|Ranged Commander}}, {{Card|Uruk Crossbow Troop}}, and {{Card|Uruk Crossbowman}}.
* ''List friendly cards that work well with this card''


== Strong Versus... ==

* Uruk Engineer mainly enables an [[machine]]-based strategy rather than working against the Free Peoples player directly. There's no common strategy that it is strong against on its own.

* [[Condition Removal|Condition removal]]. There are no practical ways to prevent it from placing [[culture token]]s except for making sure that there are no [[machine]] [[condition]]s for it to affect.
* ''List enemy or friendly cards to avoid playing this card with''

* ''Link to rules discussions on TLHH''
