drop the Rangers!

The Last Alliance gets used on Faunith basicly all the time, Beravor gets you draw and Mablung collects resources.

Play all your allies with Faunith's action to deal massive damage into the staging area, which later also is possible with Guardian of Ithilien carrying Ranger Bows. Meneldor, Expert Trackers and Bilbo's Plan make sure to got locations under control. Mablung gets the first Support of the Eagles usually to be a super-defender without having to use resources to keep your last Winged Guardian.

very creative, i was not aware until now, that the action of Faunith is not limited to once per phase so with enough cheap allies you can airstrike enemies to death.

i am not so sure about the DĂșnedain Hunter yes free (or even 1+ res with Mablung), yes a wound, but therfore an additional enemy engaged?

i am not sure if you can pile up enough res to pay for Faramir but if, he hits great.

if using Ranger of Cardolan its allways good to replace 1 with Thalion (or add him)

would consider the cheaper Ithilien Tracker over Ithilien Archer helps to reduce thread in the staging is 1 cheaper but have no ranged, becaue you mainly airstrike the enemies or use Ranger Bow it might be a bit more effective

perhaps is an overkill, but Hail of Stones would fit perfectly.

@doomguard thanks for the suggestions. I would swap out Dunedain hunters for 2x Ithilien Trackers and 1x hail of Stones then.

I'd like to keep the Ithilien archers so I can return enemies to the staging where they get air-striked next round or be engaged again to give a resource.

Piling up resources for Faramir usually worked, but took long.

I like to keep it 3 rangers of Cardolan, not swapping one out for Thalion, because I don't run side quests and like to have this cheap opportunity to tank a bit more for a round

just for consideration, many (most?) szenarios have sidequests themself (at least after angmar-cycle), but in the end it is a very minor change.
