Strategy

Part of a small group of cards concerning burdens for Southrons, Fearless was perhaps created to encourage interactions between the initial [Raider] subcultures, Southrons and Easterlings. New Fear and Gathering to the Summons are the only ways for Southrons to add burdens on their own, making the burden-adding capabilities of Easterlings a necessity for getting much mileage out of this event. Ambush from Southrons can help cover the twilight cost.

Men of Rhun (released in the same set) is a common event with the same cost which has a higher floor (+3 strength), a marginally lower ceiling (+4 strength for 4 or more burdens), and benefits both Southrons and Easterlings equally. Easterlings also have access to more potent skirmish abilities from burdens (namely Easterling Captain) on their own, and adding Southrons tends to only dilute the Easterlings' potential. While better than Men of Rhun when the Shadow player can spot 5 burdens in a Southron deck, it is substantially worse than Shotgun Enquea or Desert Legion would be for that same deck. For these reasons, Fearless is left without a niche and is rarely used.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strong Versus...

• Self-burdening decks such as Fellowships with Smeagol, Slinker or Shire Countryside
