Stop using the WRONG units!- Unit Guide - LOTR: Rise to War 2.0 

Great Unit guide! Good Work HJW!

I've been waiting for a video like this to point new players to! Not enough info out there on troops currently.

Thanks man great video

Great Beasts work well on Falgin also. When using dwarf units on the remaining three formations, his Ered Luin Expedition skill buffs his formation's defense by +21 (at level 10), and Thrain's Guards will serve as an additional White Council.

I know guardians are the most tanky small unit, but do you think that them being melee opens up your commander to more damage? I run great beasts with 3 formations of axe throwers and as long as the great beasts are there, the opposing melee formations can't counter attack my other three because they're ranged and there's a melee unit in the way blocking them

Maybe I misunderstood how you explained HP, but I don’t think you would take the 1300 x 4. The unit takes up 4 spaces basically. So if you have 1,000 troop space on a commander and put 1,000 troops that take up 1 spot each, you would get 1,000 x that units HP, maybe 50. So 50,000. The unit that takes up 4 spaces by it self then could only have 250 on that commander capped at 1,000. So 250 x 1300 for 325,000 HP. Is that correct or am I wrong in how that HP gets calculated?

This video is just great! I always facepalm when I see ppl typing in the chat that shire pros are good with gtw or other sup comms, however, they be needing to watch this! By any chance, do you know where to get a good, updated list of all units in the game? I‘ve been looking for it for ages, cant get my hands on one tho, shit I would even spend money for it

Dunadain are fastest small unit in the game at 14. If you run full small units, you get a +5 speed buff aswell, meaning they match the speed of fellbeasts.

What about taking into account the Bloodline skill? It raises atk/def of units by 7.5 on the lowest level, doesnt that make enough of a difference to choose Guard of the Tower instead of Guardians or Ram Riders instead of Cataphracts, for example?

At the moment Units are very week and they don't affect so much on power of your formation, but only speed and defence is matter of units. Right now in 2.0 everything is depend on of your commander power, especially DD commanders. Support commanders and units for them are very week. Devs doesn't understand it but one day will. In 3.0 version maybe.

Is the unit speed additive to the commander speed? So Sauron with Eagles is Init+20 vs Swans with +14?

Its interesting because ever time I see a guide like this or on discord or whatever, everyone says you should be using almost exclusively tank units. In practice though I see a lot of players using 1 tank unit, 3 damage units - or 2/2, or 3/1. Sometimes all eagles or fell beasts, but I hardly ever see an actual fighting army with only guardians, for example. If you've got the swans tanking and taunting, why aren't we trying to use some ranged damage behind it? It can also keep your leader alive longer if they have a ranged unit, since most other units will attack the melee units first. I think troop selection is much more complicated than it is generally presented.

Mountain trolls??

Aren’t snagas the fastest unit in the game?

stop playing the wrong game yes XD
