Effectively a non-unique | Effectively a non-unique version of {{Card|Eomer, Third Marshal of Riddermark}}, this companion is reliably 10 strength with {{Card|Rider's Mount}} and {{Card|Rider's Spear}}, on par with Aragorn equipped with a sword. The twilight discount makes him a popular starting companion, and a common tactic is to start him with Eomer to put two {{Twilight|3}} companions in your starting fellowship. Gearing this companion up before Eomer gives 1 less strength, but will allow the Free Peoples to put a strong companion in danger early on without fear of losing any of the unique benefits that Eomer can access. | ||
Because the twilight discount requires no cultural enforcement, he can start alongside Legolas to take advantage of the [[archer]] keyword and get to 8 strength even without any gear. This can be particularly helpful in a deck using {{Card|Eastemnet Gullies}}, allowing the deck to have just one copy of Legolas and still start with him after losing the bid. Because Elite Rider is not valiant and can't meet the criteria to play {{Card|Simbelmyne}} on his own, some players instead prefer to start Eowyn (especially {{Card|Eowyn, Lady of Rohan}}) when they won't start two {{C|Rohan}} companions. | Because the twilight discount requires no cultural enforcement, he can start alongside Legolas to take advantage of the [[archer]] keyword and get to 8 strength even without any gear.
