Battle strategies and general tips
Use stun, sleep, and fear attacks on whoever is up next on the attack queue (top right with the character pictures) it could be a life saver, focus attacks on one character and if it is an attack that hits them all, then focus your attacks on the one who has the greatest damage, go for characters in this order, Idrial, Morwen, or Elegost, then Berethor (or if the situation uses fear cast it and take Berethor first being that he is immune to it) or Eaoden, and finally Hadhod or battlegeuest.
Eregion: Eregion mabye toughest area because your orcs are delicate but just hang in there until you get to the Nazgul round which should be on for a solid win.
West Moria: The goblins may have a hard time if the fellowship focuses on taking them out but the Watcher in the Water should be in for a solid win after a few blast of Wreaking Spout.
East Moria: The troll fights are easy if you take out the light caracters and move up the line with Massive Swing, it cost so little you can use it every turn, then for the Goblins the key to victory in your Shadow Cheiftans Dark Renewal ability, Playing the Balrog is alot of fun if you experiment with your lesser attacks but if you really need to dish out some pain use Pillar of Wrath it is an instant kill on anyone except Gandalf even if they are at full health.
East Emnet Gullies: Perhaps the hardest fight of all is the one with Aranel as the guest character because his arrow flurry can heavy damage you group, use power of the pits on your captains and hang in there, same strategy on second fight, in the battle with you as the Dominant Warg use stunning bite and never let them on the battle queue.
Plains of Rohan: In the first fight you must keep the cheiftan alive and focus on destroying the fellowship with foul sleep, next on the bridge you should focus on Elegost and should have your archers pick off the rest long after your frontline is gone, with Grima Wormtounge you can destroy them with Black Speech and help from your Uruk
