- "'A little people, but of great worth are the Shire-folk,' said Halbarad. 'Little do they know of our long labour for the safekeeping of their borders, and yet I grudge it not.'"
- —Halbarad, The Return of the King, "The Passing of the Grey Company"
Halbarad leads the Dúnedain of the North to fight for Imladris. He was among the Rangers who guarded the Shire in the years prior to the War of the Ring.
Halbarad can be recruited from the Dunedain Outpost once the Troop Tent has been recruited.

Strategy[]
Halbarad is the ultimate unit support hero for Imladris' Dunedain units: he can make them train faster, offers them leadership bonuses, and provides them with the ability to purchase their upgrades. He should therefore obviously be used near Dunedain to increase their usefulness. He can support them with either the bow or the sword, adding to his versatility as a hero. To ambush or escape his enemies, he can summon a ring of archers which will slow down any units they target. With his level 10 ability, Halbarad offers an extra bonus to Dunedain Rangers by allowing them to shoot and move faster, great for covering a retreat or ambushing enemy forces (just like his level 7 ability, Dunedain Ambuscade).
