Mmmm .. is "participating" an attack the same as "declaring" an attack?

Hey .. some questions about the Balrog's ability: "Only the first player can declare attacks against The Balrog." Can i participate with one or more ranged characters in an attack against The Balrog declared by the first player? Participating is not declaring an attack, right? How could it be possible for other players besides the first player to declare attacks against The Balrog without this ability? Only some eventcards like "Hands upon the Bow" or Dunhere comes into my mind.

@Denison: You are right. I focused a little too much on hero-attachments, so i will swap the 2 sword of numenor and the gondorian shield against 3 Wealth of Gondor. Faramir does not need extra resources.

Hi, i took your idea and make n similar, more multiplayer-friendly deck: Helden 1x Bifur (Bifur) (002 KD Khazad) 1x Faramir (Faramir) (002 HdR4 Land) 1x Mablung (Mablung) (084 RM4 Nîn-in-Eilph) Verbündete 3x Baumbart (Treebeard) (146 RM6 Geweihkrone) 1x Borkenhaut (Skinbark) (006 HdR4 Land) 3x Brausender Ent (Booming Ent) (141 RM6 Geweihkrone) 1x Buchenbein (Beechbone) (118 AE5 Carn Dúm) 1x Flinkbaum (Quickbeam) (006 HdR3 Saruman) 3x Gandalf (Gandalf) (073 Grundspiel) 3x Krieger aus Tarntobel (Derndingle Warrior) (031 AE2 Gram) 3x Quellhall-Bewahrer (Wellinghall Preserver) (061 AE3 Ettenöden) Verstärkungen 1x Celebríans Stein (Celebrían's Stone) (027 Grundspiel) 1x Enttrunk (Ent Draught) (009 HdR3 Saruman) 1x Feuer aus Gondor (Gondorian Fire) (085 GdS4 Osgiliath) 1x Flügelfuss (Wingfoot) (092 RM4 Nîn-in-Eilph) 1x Mardils Erbe (Heir of Mardil) (113 RM5 Geheimnis) 1x Schild von Gondor (Gondorian Shield) (005 GdS1 Truchsess) 2x Schwert aus Númenor (Sword of Númenor) (142 AE6 Reich) 3x Truchsess von Gondor (Steward of Gondor) (026 Grundspiel) Ereignisse 3x Brüllen und Trompeten (Boomed and Trumpeted) (032 AE2 Gram) 3x Eine gute Ernte (A Good Harvest) (010 GdS1 Truchsess) 3x Entthing (Entmoot) (011 HdR3 Saruman) 1x Für Gondor!

Hi Jan, This issue is under review and will likely be addressed in the next FAQ update due out soon. Needless to say, infinite willpower is not acceptable in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game. I suggest while players wait for the next FAQ update they resolve lasting effects created by player cards as being resolved at the time they trigger and not recalculated if the game state changes. Cheers, Caleb

So .. the card is better than i thought

*push*

nice .. same as having 2 silvan trackers in play and one silvan readies .. this could be a 4 point healing .. two for each silvan tracker.

How does Elfen-light give you resources?

question about "The Long Defeat" .. e.g. Elrond-hero is in play an a player heals 5 characters by one point each .. does he get a maximum of 10 points healed?

He should get an Errata like ... "Response: After another Dwarf-Hero is declared as a defender and Dori is ready, add Dori's DEF to the defending hero's DEF for this attack. (Limit once per round.)" Then Dori would be great.

@PocketWraith: NathanH gives a good example with Daeron's Runes. With your intepretation i can discard Daeron's Runes for its effect?

Beside this discussion .. a simple question: how many characters can i choose with Elwing's Flight if my three copies are in the discard pile and i use Map of Earnil to play it? my first thought was 4 .. but i think it's 3 because you play one copy out of the discard pile right on the table, then check your discard pile .. 2 copies left.

@NathanH: I'm with you .. Without this opportunity Elwing's Flight and all other possible cards like this will not played very often.

Mmm.. seems legit. Lure of Moria is a neat example, but i think to play Lure of Moria there must at least one exhausted dwarf character.

So .. Back to my question ... what happens if i can't fullfill more than one of Elwing's Flight-effects but have a second copy in my discard pile?

Mmm.. ok, so if i can choose a ready character to ready him and give him +1 willpower, can i choose the same character with this card? Or... do we have the same effect here like Flame of Arnor? https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/175430-poisoned-counselsgandalfhobbit-pipes/?hl=%2Bflame+%2Banor

I interpret Keeping Count as the scene in which Legolas and Gimli fight side by side and count their victims in comparison to each other. The card itself should give the character who is last (or behind the first) the opportunity to catch up by boosting his attack by the difference to the first person. So for me, it makes no sense to sum up the differences from different card copies in order to calculate the attack boost. Each character compare his counts with the one who has the most kills .. and then gets his attack boost out of the difference.

How does Elwing's Flight work, if you can only ready one character but you have a copy of Elwing's Flight in your discard pile?

One shot is nice, but in solo... how will Haldir one shot before the enemy attacks? His action can only be used if you not engage an enemy.

Mmm .. the Silvan Tracker must not ready for his effect. It grants all silvan characters to heal when the silvan character readies.

Still doesn't sit well with me but there it is. I'm with you, because wording is not "remove 1 resource from that enemy to cancel all damage just dealt to it." But the intention of the taskmasters ability is that the resources should work as a shield so in your interpretation two taskmasters would weaken the Goblins instead of giving them a good shield.

i think "suffer damage" [Gloin (core), Shadow Key (Core) and Wilyador (Journey to Rhosgobel)] and "is damaged" implies that the damage is placed on the card and "damage dealt" means the damage goes to the card. If you cancel damage which is already on a card then you will actually heal that card. if you cancel the damage which is dealt to a card you prevent a card suffering damage or get damaged. Its not healing. So if Gloin suffers any kind of damage it is already on the card and a close call could not be used because the damage has reached the card already. Frodo gives a good example how close call should be worded to cancel damage on a card

Amazing Questmechanic. But how would Weit enternte Sterne (Distant Stars) interact with this map?

I got an answer from Caleb to my sword-thain question in another thread where the question is quite similar. To trigger "leave play"-events the card must phyiscally moved out of the game. A "considered as out of play" does not move the card, so no, you can not trigger its forced effect.
