I've been playing through the saga campaign with a friend and we have hit a stumbling block at Shelob's Lair. We are playing easy mode and have still found this extremely difficult.
Initially we were getting desroyed by Shelob herself, but once we made it to the third quest stage we found that threat was our issue - Shelob was easily picking up 10+ resource tokens.
Previously our plan was to load up Beregond to tank all the spider attacks but that wasn't reliable enough. Is there any general advice for this quest?
In terms of our decks we have been using a Sam, Merry & Pippin hobbit deck which handles a lot of the questing and a Beregond (Tactics), Eleanor & Faramir (Lore) deck which handles defending and has support cards like Feint and A Test of Will.
I'm very open to deck ideas but we'd like to keep our heroes the same so we don't get the threat penalty. So far we have a +1 penalty we picked up in Moria.
If anyone has any suggestions for decks that would be great. We don't have a full collection. Between us we have:
3x Core, Shadows of Mirkwood cycle, Khazad-dum, Heirs of Numenor, Against the Shadow cycle, The Dunland Trap, Trouble in Tharbad, Celebrimbor's Secret, The Grey Havens, The Dream-chaser cycle, The Wilds of Rhovanion, 2x each of the Hobbit saga expansions, all LotR saga expansions.
Thanks for any help you can give
