Strategy

The [Rohan] version of Coat of Mail. This card is actually statistically identical to Coat of Mail as neither of them specify culture, so they can be used interchangeably. This card works particularly well on Defender + 1 companions (Such as Eomer with Firefoot) and companions that can take a lot of damage (Such as Eowyn, Sister Daughter of Theoden).
