There are plenty of options for cards to deal with the hobbit allies directly. Some of the strongest options are [[splash]]able into any Shadow deck. {{Card|Tower Assassin}}, {{Card|Dunlending Ravager}}, and {{Card|Dunlending Warrior}} will almost certainly kill at least one hobbit ally each turn you play them (although be wary of {{Card|Severed His Bonds}} with the Dunlendings). {{Card|Anduin Confluence}} (also available as [[Anduin Confluence (11S228)|a Shadows sitepath site]]) can wipe all allies for both players. (So can {{Card|Valley of Saruman}}, but it usually comes too late in the game to matter for Hobbit Hospital.) | There are plenty of options for cards to deal with the hobbit allies directly.

You can also often find some ally [[hate]] in your particular Shadow culture. {{C|Ringwraith}} decks have {{Card|Their Power is in Terror}}, which can wipe out many exhausted hobbit allies at once, and {{Card|Fear}}, which is one of the few tools that can pick off Bilbo despite {{Card|Consorting with Wizards}}. ({{Card|Ulaire Attea, the Easterling}} is an overpriced, underpowered option.) {{C|Sauron}} decks can use {{Card|Memory of Many Things}} to pick off any hobbit ally, Bilbo included, although generally Tower Assassin is more useful. In later formats, {{Card|Grond, Hammer of the Underworld}} efficiently cleans up allies. [[Uruk Archery]] can use {{Card|Come Down}} to sometimes kill some allies, although you don't get to pick which ones and it may not work if they have many unwounded allies (or {{Card|Tom Bombadil}}). [[Uruk Machines]] can run {{Card|Berserk Rager}} to wipe out your opponent's allies all at once. However, it requires support from cards that are vulnerable to being removed by {{Card|Bilbo, Well-spoken Gentlehobbit}}, so it's rarely played | You can also often find some ally [[hate]] in your particular Shadow culture. {{C|Ringwraith}} decks have {{Card|Their Power is in Terror}}, which can wipe out many exhausted hobbit allies at once, and {{Card|Fear}}, which is one of the few tools that can pick off Bilbo despite {{Card|Consorting with Wizards}}.

If you do target your opponent's allies, it's helpful to know which ones to target. Unfortunately, that's a fairly complex question, determined by the current board state, including what kind of card you're using, what your overall Shadow strategy is, what companions you want to kill, and what {{C|Shire}} cards are in play. If you've got {{Card|Tower Assassin}} or {{Card|Fear}} in your hand, which hobbit allies do you want to target? To determine this, split the hobbit allies into three main groups: Engine, Healers, and Utility. | If you do target your opponent's allies, it's helpful to know which ones to target.
