			'''Dwarven Bracers''' is a core card in [[possession]]-focused {{C\|Dwarven}} decks because of its [[strength]] boost and life-saving Response ability. Even a relatively weak [[dwarf]] [[companion]] like {{Card\|Farin, Dwarven Emissary}} reaches a respectable 9 strength with Dwarven Bracers, {{Card\|Hand Axe}} and {{Card\|Dwarven Axe}}, meaning a single {{Card\|Flurry of Blows}} is often all it takes to win a skirmish with most minions. Should one of these beefed-up companions lose a skirmish, Dwarven Bracers gives the Free Peoples player an opportunity to trade strength for vitality in a pinch.

	Dwarven Bracers is at the core of possession-focused Dwarf decks, including most {{C\|Dwarven}} decks in [[Fellowship Block]]. The strength boost and life-saving response on Dwarven Bracers make it a shoe-in for these decks. Even {{Card\|Dwarf Guard}} reaches a respectable 8 strength with Dwarven Bracers, {{Card\|Hand Axe}} and {{Card\|Dwarven Axe}}, meaning a single {{Card\|Flurry of Blows}} is often all it takes to overcome most minions. Should one of these beefed-up companions lose a skirmish, Dwarven Bracers gives the Free Peoples player an opportunity to trade strength for vitality in a pinch.		Because the strength bonus of Dwarven Bracers can itself prevent wounds, it's best to keep the +1 strength from the Bracers on a main combatant as long as possible, rather than immediately sacrificing the Bracers as soon as the bearer takes a wound. Always sacrifice the Bracers if the bearer is on their last wound, of course; they'll get discarded anyway if the bearer dies! However, if you have a copy of Dwarven Bracers in your hand or on a Dwarf character that is less likely to take a wound, then you can sacrifice your main combatant's Bracers to prevent a wound much earlier, because you can replace them in the next [[Fellowship phase]], either from your hand or transferring them from a character in less danger. If you don't have another copy of Dwarven Bracers handy, expending them to prevent a wound is a calculated risk. Is it more useful to avoid a wound now, or will the strength bonus of Dwarven Bracers be necessary to prevent losing a skirmish before the next time you draw a copy or finish the game? There's no one right answer; it will always depend on the availability of healing, how desperate your position is, and how many copies of Dwarven Bracers you're playing. Bracers may be worth holding onto when there is healing around the corner, one point of strength is the difference between a win or a loss (for example, 10 strength defeats many of the [[Uruk-hai]] in [[Fellowship Block]]), another companion can take a wound without risk of dying, or an expendable companion is already nearing the end of their use. Otherwise, losing Bracers is often the least harmful outcome.

	Its main weakness is that the benefit is split between two different effects. Wound prevention is a strong effect, and a small strength boost is always useful, but Dwarven Bracers will generally provide less healing than dedicated healing cards, and less strength than a weapon. It also makes your dwarfs more vulnerable to {{Card\|Grima, Wormtongue}}, in formats where he is included. As a possession, it can be also discarded by cards that target possessions, but it generally won't be an opponent's first choice unless they're about to finish off a companion that Dwarven Bracers is protecting.

	The exact number of copies to include in your deck depends on how many ~~Dwarves~~ you have and what the primary use is. The more bearers you have and the more need to protect Dwarfs from wounds, the more useful they are. A small deck that uses {{Card\|Gimli, Son of Gloin}} as a throwaway defender might want only want one copy, while a deck focused on multiple Dwarf companions could go up to four without much trouble.
