General Strategy

Similar to Uruk Fighter, Uruk Warrior must spot 6 companions to become fierce, rather than the usual 5. With cards like Ulaire Enquea, LoM and Greed around, this is much less likely to be the case. However, Uruk Warrior has one strength more than Uruk Fighter, giving it an exceptionally good cost-to-strength ratio, and making it one of the only [isengard] uruks (The others being Uruk Captain and Mauhur, Patrol Leader) to have 9 base strength for just 3 twilight.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strong Versus...

  • Average size Fellowships
  • Low-Strength Fellowships

Weak Versus...

  • Wounding or Archery (Without support from cards such as Saruman, KoI or Broad-Bladed Sword)
  • High-Strength companions such as Aragorn and Boromir
