| = General Strategy =
| |
| | |
| Swan-Ship of the Galadhrim is a maneuver event that can draw an Elf ally with a home site of 6 into archery, assignment, and skirmish phases with a strength +3 bonus. Similar to the mirrored Support of the Last Homely Home, 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. | |
| | |
| Celeborn, LoL is the strongest site 6 ally and becomes strength 9 with this maneuver event (or higher, if using Lothlorien Woods or The Mirror of Galadriel), 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 Fear or Tower Assassin 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.

| = Strengths and Weaknesses =
| |
| | |
| === Strong Versus... ===
| |
| | |
| * Helpful for choking when moving, in concordance with Galadriel, Lady of Light
| |
| * Can add to the archery total, when playing with an archer ally like Rumil, Elven Protector (or an ally bearing Elven Bow)
| |
| * Extra fighter to take on large minions (Elrond and Celeborn become strength 11 and 9, respectively) or to turn a weak ally into Balrog fodder
| |
| | |
| === Weak Versus... ===
| |
| | |
| * Ally-targeting cards, such as Fear or Tower Assassin
| |
| * Hand clog
