This deck was created with coop in mind. more specifically to pair up with my friends deck: tactics Legolas and Theoden, and spirit Beregond. It adds more flexibility with more ranged and sentinel. but Brand combos quite nicely with Legolas too.
Brands entire job is to assist in attacking whatever Legolas is shooting at. with warhorse and Blade of Gondolin he adds 5-6 atk to Legolas already impressive output. but more importantly he readies Legolas (and himself with warhorse) to let them buddy strike again. As long ad the enemies are engaged with Legolas & co Brand can ready Legolas twice. it shluld help with hordes of enemies and put out a lot of progress tokens
Dori is here to provide more flexibility. his starting defense isn't great. But it should at least reach 4 and with armoured destrier he can defend, ready up and either defend again or help block a beefy attack together with Beregond if needed.
Elfhelm is the more passive buffing hero. almost everyone has a mount and therefore a nice stat boost. His stats allow him to help out as needed. but I will most likely use him for regular questing with the necklace of Girion and song of hope.
other than that there's quite a few silvan allies, and ranged attacks. as well as a bunch of songs, so I used that as an excuse to finally take burst into song.
