Why is Eowyn *so* good? Advice on getting Progress tokens without her?

Questing with just Eowyn is very tempting (especially with Favour of the Lady and Celebrian's Stone on her), until you run into Dol Guldur Orcs.

Really, of all the enemies in the game I think those Orcs are the ones who have hurt me most often.

Oh, I hate the suckers. There were games when I drew all three copies within four rounds of the game...

Out of interest, who do you guys usually group Eowyn with? It seems to me that a Lore deck is quite needed since her partial frailty with all the questing may be a big issue.

I am trying out a Denethor, Dunhere, Eowyn deck that is performing very well at the moment and has pretty low starting threat too

I went Dunhere / Aragorn which meant starting threat of 29. Basically against Anduin the first round would be hairy: you have to quest well to avoid a Threat rise, and then play either Gandalf or Galadhrim's Greetings second turn to avoid running into the Troll too early. My wins against that scenario invariably came after being able to pull off the aforementioned.

When I want to play Gimli/Thalin and Legolas I always end up using Eowyn as a 3rd hero.

Yer my deck relies on having enough rounds to get a forest snare or enough fire power to deal with the troll before it engages from staging, having low threat helps with that quite a lot - not always successful though!

I play Eowyn, Eleanor, and Beravor.  Eleanor, the additional cards from Beravor, and the lore cards help make up for Eowyn's frailty.  Being able to cancel things like necromancer's reach is nice.  It helps to mention that I play 2 player and the other deck is leadership/tactics heavy on ranged and sentinel cards.

For solo play she is the best.So far the key to win the scenarios is to survive the first rounds and Eowyn makes your life easier wen questing.Your other 2 options are Aragorn and Glorfindel but Aragorn needs celebrian's stone to be effective and you need Glorfindel for combat phase (or you need UC on him).Both Aragorn and Glorfindel need attachments to be effective but even then they are not as effective as Eowyn.

I really like Eowyn (she's been in my deck since day 1), but in a 3 player game Legolas ability can be equally helpful for the accumulation of progress tokens.

The problem with Eowyn imho is that she's so fragile.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Her combo with Stand and Fight is perfect for dual sphere games, as long as Spirit is your main sphere. Apart from the obvious benefit of having a Hero who quests like crazy, you may put expensive allies from the remaining spheres and play them with your Spirit resources.

Eowyn is boss.
