Tactical Information

Blade of Elendil is an extremely important skill for the Captain because of the 2 powerful effects it applies. This skill should be used every 10s in every line for this reason, which means that the Captain must maintain their Battle-states. Generally, all Captains try to maintain both battle states, so after using this skill, Battle-hardened should be refreshed.
