| = General Strategy =
| |
| | |
| Support of the Last Homely Home is a maneuver event that can draw an Elf ally with a home site of 3 into archery, assignment, and skirmish phases with a strength +3 bonus. Similar to the mirrored Swan-Ship of the Galadhrim, which draws provides the same effects for Elven allies with a home site of 6, Support of the Last Homely home circumvents the "Rule of Nine" and effectively provides the Free Peoples player with an additional fighting character. | |
| | |
| Elrond, the strongest site 3 ally becomes strength 11 with this maneuver event, is also self-healing, making him a choice character against powerful Nazgul or damage bonus minions with powerful text, like Troop of Uruk-Hai. Additionally, cards like Galadriel, Lady of Light allow for these [Elven] allies to be played for no twilight, giving the Free Peoples player a support area army that do not add twilight when moving.
| |
| | |
| While this strategy seems impenetrable, the Shadow player has several ways to defeat these allies. Ally-targeting cards, like Ulaire Attea, TE or Terrible as the Dawn can discard or wound these exerted allies. Targeting the strongest allies, such as Elrond, Celeborn, and Galadriel, tends to dismantle a deck designed to feature fighting allies. Also be wary of the fact that this card exerts the elf who will be skirmishing; this can be dangerous against high-damage minions such as Lurtz, SoI or Cave Troll of Moria, SotBP.
