The staple hero of many deck, simple to use and effective.
4 willpower is amazing, and her ability helps for that extra boost in case you need it after revealing encounter cards
A strong hero, one of the best from the Core set. Ancient Mathom (or with lots of card drawing effects from the Lore sphere) will help you keep her bonus ability charged.

Love Eowyn! I probably will always be sticking with her.

Eowyn is my most used hero in this game (especially with 2 players)

Eowyn and stand and fight is good combo, because you can play Gildor from your discard pile and use Zigil´s ability with Gildor´s ability, to collect easily at least 2 resources each round.

5 star card, i love him :D

How do you get "at least" 2 resources per turn from Ziggy? Wouldn't it be "at most" 2? He only discards 2 cards...unless you're readying I guess.

Ziggy used to give u the # of resources equal to the cost of the card you discarded if you named the correct #.  it's been errata'd.

Yeah--I'm stupid. My card even says that but I completely forgot that's how he used to work. Now I remember why everyone thought he was crazy broken...

I actually played this game for a long time before I realized there was any errata at all.   Ignorance was bliss.  lol.

I have mixed feelings on errata. On the one hand--who cares? It's a coop game. If you don't like the superpowered cards, don't play them. 

 

But on the other...having them in the cardpool makes the designers ramp the difficulty a little more than I think they should. The game is already TOUGH for a player like me that doesn't custom-build decks to the scenario.
