Editing Beatdown

'''Beatdown''' is a standard type of [[Shadow Alignment|Shadow]] strategy which aims to win skirmishes through sheer bulk and slaughter its way through the [[Fellowship]] until the [[Ring-bearer]] has no protectors left.  The idea is simple: play minions with high [[strength]], often supplemented with '''[[Fierce]]''' or '''[[Damage]]''' effects, put companions in the ground, wash, rinse, repeat until the Ring-bearer has to deal with the same powerful minions all on their own.  Victory may come through [[wound|wounding]] companions to death, or it may come through [[overwhelming]] them instead; the important thing is that they die in skirmishes.  Frequently.

Shadow [[culture]]s that often use beatdown strategies include {{C|Isengard}}, {{C|Wraith}}, {{C|Sauron}}, {{C|Orc}}, and {{C|Uruk-hai}}. 

Other Shadow strategies include [[archery]], [[Corruption|corruption]], [[direct wounding]], and [[swarm]].
