General Strategy

At the release of the Fellowship of the Ring set, Ulaire Otsea was a fringe-beneficial Nazgul minion. With only three non-fierce Nazgul--Ulaire Lemenya, Ulaire Nertea, and Ulaire Otsea itself--Ulaire Otsea, Lieutenant of Morgul did not have many options for his game text.

Despite his lack of use in the Fellowship of the Ring base set, Ulaire Otsea, Lieutenant of Morgul became much more versatile with the release of additional sets. The Mines of Moria expansion introduced !twilight Nazgul, which benefit from the fierce bonus that Ulaire Otsea can provide. Additionally, Bill Ferny, Swarthy Sneering Fellow can be made fierce. The Return of the King block expansions introduced more in terms of non-fierce Nazgul with [Wraith] culture Orcs and Enduring Nazgul, particularly The Witch-King, Black Captain and Ulaire Enquea, Thrall of the One.
