A staple of The Two Towers' [Gondor] Ring-bound Rangers, Ranger's Bow relies on Ancient Roads and Gondorian Ranger to ensure that a minion is always roaming and able to take a wound, and its primary text keeps [Dunland] Men from safety despite a naturally low site number. Mablung, Soldier of Gondor makes a particularly apt bearer, using his skirmish ability to exhaust a minion and the bow to finish it off. Gondorian Ranger also makes a good bearer because of his low strength, leaving few other methods of winning skirmishes unlike Ranger of Ithilien or Faramir, Captain of Gondor. Because one or two wounds is not always enough to kill many minions, players often complement Ranger's Bow with Citadel of the Stars, Stone Tower, Henneth Annun, and Gondor Bowmen to lower the vitality of Uruk-hai, Nazgul, and other high vitality minions. The exert cost may be offset with Banner of Westernesse and Citadel of Minas Tirith, leading to a highly reliable fellowship capable of winning every skirmish each turn. | A staple of The Two Towers' [Gondor] Ring-bound Rangers, Ranger's Bow relies on Ancient Roads and Gondorian Ranger to ensure that a minion is always roaming and able to take a wound, and its primary text keeps [Dunland] Men from safety despite a naturally low site number.
