Id played gandalf a lot since his release, so id been trying out other heroes, but maybe i'll give him a go against it. Id also been doing a lot of chump blocking with allies. I seem to either keep on top of the enemies and get location locked, or keep up with the questing and location management and get overwhelmed by the enemies. Its a tough one, for sure.

i finally managed a win last night with rohan (Spirit Theoden, Eowyn and Eomer) paired with Elrond/Glorfindel/Idraen, but it definitely felt like luck rather than strategy.

So I still have to buy Lost Realm and I've been wondering: How do the three quests play solo? Easy, Medium, Hard difficulty?

I only hope that they are better than the Voice of Isengard and some from the Ringmaker Cycle.

My friends and I finished the box last week. We play 4 player and found the first quest easy, and the other two challenging but able to be beaten in a try or two without dropping to easy mode. We felt like it was challenging but balanced instead of just mean like the quests in the last two cycles. I hope this cycles continue that way.

The first quest is easy once you know it better. Using Aragorn, Halbarad and Beravor I beat it more than 70% times. The second one requires a lot of healing and sometimes you can be attacked 5+ times even though there were no enemies at the start of the round. The last one is definitely hardest, I won it only once and lost plenty of times. But it is beatable if you use good deck.

The Weather Hills is the only quest I have ever pulled out Watcher of the Bruinen for, but he's really good in it. Those pesky Cornered Orcs attack many times but for only 2 attack.
