For me this ally has immediately become one of the new defensive staples, right alongside the Defender of Rammas. 3 Defense is really respectable, and 2 hit points let it avoid some of the more annoying treacheries or shadow effects. The Response is pure gold, especially in a trap deck or in a staging area attack deck (Éomer or Dúnhere will thank this little guy a lot) as a sort of Fastred alternative. I will almost always include these guys in any deck which includes Lore or has a pure Rohan hero lineup to take advantage of the Devoted keyword.
10/10 would defend Helm's Deep again.
fantastic lore defender that fits right into trap or Rohan staging strike decks. I feel like 2 cost is a bit low for the great stats and response, but I'm not complaining at all!!!

If the character dies while defending does the enemy still sustain damage and move to staging area?

I'm not too familiar with the timing rules for this, but it's a response so it should.

when the card is not in play it cannot trigger its reaction. the wordin is "after". and "after" is after asigning dmg. so he dies beore he can trigger its response.
