Powerful companion with an exert-to-wound ability. Direct wounding is an envied ability to target the strongest minions (Such as {{Card|Orthanc Champion}}), to wound minions with powerful exert-to-play abilities (Such as {{Card|Ulaire Cantea, Lieutenant of Dol Guldur}}), or to kill low-vitality minions to prevent a swarm of minions (like {{C|Moria}} or {{C|Dunland}}). With {{Card|The Tale of Gil-Galad}}, it's possible to kill minions with 3 vitality, potentially making a double move viable.


Decks that feature Legolas, Greenleaf often prioritize healing (such as {{Card|Elrond, Herald to Gil-Galad}}, {{Card|Might of Numenor}} or {{Card|Shoulder to Shoulder}}) as Legolas could create a lot of exertions with his ability. Legolas, Greenleaf is also often seen in conjunction with other directed wounding (such as {{Card|Aragorn's Bow}}, {{Card|Rumil, Elven Protector}}, or {{Card|Orophin, Lorien Bowman}}) as well as in mass archery decks, but he can also be used effectively with Maneuver wounding (such as {{Card|Defend it and Hope}}, {{Card|Quick as May Be}}, or {{Card|Terrible and Evil}}) or skirmish phase wounding (such as {{Card|Eowyn, Lady of Ithilien}} or {{Card|Power According to His Stature}}).

The direct wounding capability of Legolas, Greenleaf creates a natural synergy with {{Card|Eomer, Third Marshal of Riddermark}} and similar {{C|Rohan}} strategies relating to wounds (such as {{Card|We Left None Alive}} or {{Card|Elite Rider}}). Natural synergy also exists with Gandalf and {{Card|Strength of Spirit}}. The addition of {{Card|Aiglos}} in the Reflections expansion creates another vitality point for Legolas.
