New low score for me: threat 31; damage 4; victory points 4; round counter 1 (10pts)====41!!!

Heros: glorfindel, bilbo, eowyn. Could have cancelled the 4 damage but then I would not have been able to quest through as quickly as I did.

You're getting better and better!

Wow, seems my previous deck is quite useless in this one........altough it was tweaked a bit.

Frodo, Beravor, Theodred

Threat: 3

Wounds: 2

Rounds: 5

Victory points: 4

Total: 51

Encounter cards were:

2. Swarming Insects ( 2 damage to Beravor and Theodred and Wilyador)

2. Feastering Wounds

3. Mirkwood Flock ( shadow card let´s damage go to Wylador)

4. Mountains of Mirkwood ( traveled there and got The Necormancer´s Reach ( was canceled) )

5. Caught in a Web

Wilyadors damage progress:

End of turn

1: 5

2: 9

3: 13

4: 15

Wyliador was healed with 3 Lore of Imaldris just before it was too late. ( an Athelas would have been nice )

As I just saw this will be a quite useless score .........as there are already scores in the 30s......ah just noticed there´s a already a 29. Wow.

Swarming insects only deals one damage to each character without an attachment.I guess you meant to add this to round 2 "Festering Wounds"?

Sorry, that was a mistake in writing. It was one wound on Beravor and one on Theodred and of course one on Wilyador. Frodo hat a song attached.

So for the final score my heroes had a total of 2 wounds.

Tried a new tactic and it took me only three games until it finally worked. It only needs 3 different cards to have a relatively easy win, at least if one uses Glorfindel. Beravor and even Denethor might also work, but in that case it depends a lot to the encounters that you draw. In this scenario I played four cards, as I had some spare resources.

Heroes: Glorfindel, Éowyn, Frodo

Hero Threat: 29

Hero Damage: 2

Rounds: 10

Victory Points: 4

Result: 37

Encounters:

1. Chieftain Ufthak (engaged, no shadow effect)

2. Black Forest Bats

PoL, Escort and Lore of Imladris? But who was your blocke........ah never mind........You assigned the damage that came from the attack to Glorfindel and healed one wound.

Thanks! I realized afterwards I could have probably had a 40. But oh well! Just got another 41 again.

Woohoo!!! 37!!! 0 damage; 31 threat; 4 victory points; 1 round (10pts)----37! Eowyn, glorfindel, bilbo.

muemakan said:

Also to play PoL and Lore of Imladris he would have needed 3 lore resources. So this would lead to a Song of wisdom needed and leaves only 2 resources to play something other.

Yup, which means I didn't play one of them.

Why would I engage Flock? Pointless.

Interesting, so you did not play a lore of imladris and you did not have an athelas. So how did you heal Wilyador???

Oh right, the flock has an engagement cost of 32........didn´t notice that.

First attempt

Heroes: Beravor, Eowyn, Ellenor

Threat: 14

Wounds: 0

Rounds: 4

Victory: 4

Total: 50

Essentially trying to heal with Lore and ignore the Altheas unless thy pop up by chance. Felt I got hung up on 2B. Want to try for faster.

Close. You're right about Glorfindel and Lore of Imladris (surprise, surprise). I also used one of the two other cards that you mentioned. And two others (of which one wasn't even necessary for the win, but could have made a difference if there had been a different encounter in round 2).

lol obviously the one I played was Lore, other is not necessarily needed. Actually in most cases it's not. It's in my deck but it's far from being an essential card but it's there for backup.

Well if you used Glorfindel to heal you also needed the song of wisdom. So this leaves 2 resources. So it wash´t the Escort as there would´t have been enough resources for 2 other cards. So it must have been the PoL. But that leaves only one resource to play two cards. And although I now one 0 cost card which would be good, it makes no sense at that point.

Hm interesting. For turn one you had to discard one card to eowyn to get the 11 willpower needed. Then you play one Song, Lore of Imladris, heal one wound and play PoL..........this leaves you with one resource to spent and 4 cards to discard for PoL. So how did you get the 17 willpower?

So you need 10 Willpower for stage 1.

You start with 8 Willpower if you let Wilyador quest. So you need at least one more willpower if you discard one card to eowyn. If you play an ally you would be at 10. That leaves only 2 resources to play something like the Escort. But then again only 14 willpower and 17 needed. There is obviously no SneakGanalf involved, I seems I am to ignorant to see how you played it and I cannot think of any cards which would have made it possible. Especially if there are no Songs involved.

Da_Engineer said:

This build is a little better. The best score possible with it is 24 actually which isn't that improbable but haven't got it yet.

Heroes: Gloin, Éowyn, Denethor
Heroes Threat: 23
Heroes Damage: 0
Rounds: 10
Victory Points: 4
Result: 29

Encounters:

Driven By Shadow

Hummerhorns

If you played a sneak Gandalf your score should be 28.

So the best score possible with 2 sneak Gandalfs, 1 Escort from Edoras and 1 Lore of Imladris is 23.

Changed some cards and Heros, got a 33! Heros, eowyn, glorfindel, theodred. Threat 25; damage 2; rounds 1 (10pts); victory points 4. If one other card in my hand had been different, might have been a 31 or lower.

31! Threat 25; no damage or dead Heros; 1 rd (10pts); 4 victory points. Heros: eowyn, glorfindel, theodred.

Pretty low-brow for this crowd... gui%C3%B1o.gif, but it's my first attempt:

Heroes: Éowyn, Beravor, Bilbo

Final Threat: 33

Hero Wounds: 4

Victory Points: 4 (-4)

Round Marker: 5 (50)

Final Score: 83

From here, it's all about the journey. lengua.gif

Slightly less embarrassing. But only slightly... gui%C3%B1o.gif

Heroes: Éowyn, Beravor, Bilbo

Final Threat: 32

Hero Wounds: 5

Victory Points: 4 (-4)

Round Marker: 4 (40)

Final Score: 73

And... progress:

Heroes: Éowyn, Beravor, Bilbo

Final Threat: 31

Hero Wounds: 0

Victory Points: 4 (-4)

Round Marker: 3

Final Score: 57

And now it's time for a little rest. bostezo.gif

After getting the necessary cards 5 times and being destroyed by the wrong encounters, I finally got both the cards and the encounters right. This time with another variant of cards:

Heroes: Glorfindel, Éowyn, Frodo

Heroes Threat: 29

Heroes Damage: 0

Rounds: 10

Victory Points: 4

Result: 35

Encounters:

1. Mistwood Flock (not engaged)

2. Great Forest Web

The best I can get with this deck is 30, if I could get the Sneak/Gandalf combo. In one of my game I had exactly this combo, but I did draw Festering Wounds in my first turn.

31! Threat 25; no damage or dead Heros; 1 rd (10pts); 4 victory points. Heros: eowyn, glorfindel, theodred.

Zjb, could you add the encounters?

Hm so to get to 30 it will be like ...... 2 resources to heal, 2 for the sneak attack, leaves 2 blue ones for lets say an escort. Makes 19 Willpower in turn 2 and you lower your threat with the Gandalf.

So did you play 2 Escorts to get to the 35 result??

Yes, if I remember right, they were driven by shadow and then the second was caught in a web which really had no effect having already quested eowyn at that point, (she was who in put it on.)

Both assumptions are correct! happy.gif

You know what else is correct? That's right, my most recent result... gran_risa.gif

Heroes: Éowyn, Beravor, Bilbo

Final Threat: 30

Hero Wounds: 0

Victory Points: 4 (-4)

Round Marker: 2 (20)

Final Score: 46

If only I'd had a Song of Kings show up... could have snuck Big G for an even better finish!

Shifted a few things, and... make that 40!

Heroes: Éowyn, Glóin, Glorfindel

Final Threat: 31

Hero Wounds: 3

Victory Points: 4 (-4)

Round Marker: 1 (10)

Final Score: 40

Probably heading into that territory now where it'd be nice for me to share things like:

Encounter 1: The Necromancer's Reach

Encounter 2: Athelas, Guarded: Mirkwood Flock
