i didnt say his ability was crap- just compared to the rest of the dwarves, hes not that great in a general sense

ive tried him in my dain deck as im sure most have, and he is about the least effective of the whole dwarven hero range

 My wife really likes Dwalin… I try not to influence her when she picks heroes, because I want to her to be her own player (and not my puppet!).  But I cringe a little when she picks Dwalin as her dedicated attacker, because he needs more help than some other heroes to do enough damage.  But!  With Dwalin in play, she is more free to target ME with The Galadrhim's Greeting, which is nice.

Same here.  I don't think anyone really thought he was really all that bad… until Nori came along.  So I had my Dain/Bifur/Dwalin combo, but I found that I just rarely actually got to use Dwalin's ability.  Maybe once or twice a game, definitely not every turn…  But he allowed for my cheap Spirit cards and otherwise helped feed Bifur's ability to get all my Lore dwarves out there for Dain to inject with his dwarven steroid juice… lol.

 hmm but maybe instead of giving some advice with heroes maybe lets do same things with other cards? Like

Or Radagast there are plenties of cards that im not sure with what cards/situations it will work well. (just like that stupid event which only could be nice for givin back objectives and nothing more…)? Actualy almost every hero what left for that topic actualy get such instinct synergies. Or just make every hero with his synergies its all up to u ;)
