Frodo has a suite of special rules to his name. He's always [[ring-bound]], even if it doesn't say so on his card. Except in the case of {{Card|Frodo, Frenzied Fighter}}, he's always your [[ring-bearer]] if he's in your deck, and thus costs zero [[twilight]]. Until [[Reflections]], he was the only possible [[ring-bearer]] at the start of the game, and (along with [[Sam]]) was one of only two characters with a [[resistance]] score.

Because he is almost always your ring-bearer and so vulnerable to being [[overwhelm]]ed in a skirmish, getting the most out of Frodo involves protecting him, ideally keeping him away from [[skirmish]]es altogether. He has [[the One Ring]], but in most cases that is a poor defense against being overwhelmed. [[Swarm|Some decks]] will drag him into a skirmish anyway, however. To make him a bit safer, you can give him something to boost his strength. Permanent buffs include {{Card|Hobbit Sword}}, some version of {{Card|Sting}}, {{Card|A Promise}}, or {{Card|O Elbereth! Gilthoniel!}}. You can also [[pump]] his strength temporarily, especially with {{Card|Merry, Friend to Sam}}, {{Card|Boromir, Son of Denethor}}, or {{Card|Hobbit Intuition}}. You can protect him from being overwhelmed, with cards like {{Card|Bounder}} or {{Card|The Tale of the Great Ring}}. Or, in early formats like [[Fellowship Block]] and [[Towers Standard]], you can simply cancel his skirmish, with cards like {{Card|Hobbit Stealth}}, {{Card|O Elbereth! Gilthoniel!}}, {{Card|Filibert Bolger, Wily Rascal}}, or {{Card|Frodo's Cloak}}.

Frodo has three different roles in three different periods of the game. For the first eight sets, you have to play him, but you can [[Skirmish Cancellation|cancel his skirmishes]]. There's no way around it in [[Fellowship Block]], [[Towers Standard]], [[Towers Block]], or [[King Standard]]: you have to find a way to protect Frodo.
