News Update June 25th, 2019

A few weeks ago, we gave a sneak peek of the upcoming Hero releases for Campaign 3: The Witch King's Grasp. This week we want to show you the actual cards. Though we are still a ways out from the launch of this expansion, and these cards are a work in progress subject to play testing and balance, we wanted to give you an early view of to the upcoming content as we get closer.

Let's start with Boromir, a Tactics Hero of Gondor.



Whenever Boromir defeats an enemy, he may grant every other character +1 attack or Block for the current round.



Next, let's examine Frodo, a Spirit Hero of The Shire.



He is a hero with Stealth and a new keyword; Achieve. Achieve is a bit like Vanquish, but for resolving Objectives. Whenever Frodo resolves an Objective, he gains +1 resource.



Our third hero is Rossiel, a Lore Hero from Lothlórien.



Rossiel can use her power to recover 1 of your non-unique Allies, drawing them from the playing field back to your hand.



Our final hero is Sam, a Leadership Hero and faithful friend from The Shire.



Sam has a higher attack when he has an active Guard. He also steals a resource from Sauron whenever he defeats an enemy.



Keep in mind that these stats, threat levels and powers can—and likely will—change once we have these heroes in testing. However, you can start imagining deck strategies with these heroes included in the mix.



Now let's take a quick look at the upcoming Gundabad Awoken Encounter. We will be looking at this new quest in more detail in the weeks ahead, but for now we wanted to give you a likely confusing sneak peek until you learn the details of what it means.

Meet the Goblin Sneak...



and the Pit Goblin...



What do these new ally cards mean? Keep in mind that this is part of an Encounter as you ponder.
