This guy is really, really good. The one hero that Tactics has missed so far. Now, his best home are undeniably Forth, The Three Hunters! decks, since he will get even more willpower from the things he already gets his innate boost from – restricted attachments. He can be the dedicated quester, and since Tactics usually want to play some restricted Weapon or Armor attachments on their heroes anyway, he will quickly get to 5 without your having to do much about him. Since good questers are hard to come by in Tactics (except for his kinswoman Éowyn), he would be a great addition either way. But then, there is his response: Drawing a card whenever you kill something in the staging area. Conveniently, he has the Rohan trait, and no other trait is better at killing things in the staging area, with Éomer and Dúnhere coming to mind as the most reliable choices of doing so. And who would not like built-in card draw in Tactics? No one. I have built a Three Hunters Deck with him, Eomer and Fastred (who allows you to return enemies to the staging area after their attack and then reduce your threat by 2) and man, this deck did blast some quests. He is bonkers good in the right deck and a welcome and valuable addition to the Tactis heroes pool.
