The new card "Tale of Tinuvuel" is spoilered over here:
As far as I know the translation reads:
Action: exhaust a Noldor character to ready a Dunedain character, or viceversa. Until the end of the phase, add the exhausted character's willpower to the other character's willpower, attack and defence.
The important part is "character", not "hero".
So here is the point: You have a Warden of Annuminas and the Elladan hero. You are enganged with e.g. 5 enemies and you play ToT on Warden (at the moment 5 willpower) to ready Elladan. Now Elladan gets +5 attack. Assuming this will be enough to kill the first enemy. You pay one resource to ready him. You want to attack next enemy. Does he still have +5 willpower or will that value reduce by one for each fallen enemy???
