- "A great host came out of Angmar in 1409, and crossing the river entered Cardolan and surrounded Weathertop. The Dúnedain were defeated and Arveleg was slain. The Tower of Amon Sûl was burned and razed; but the palantír was saved and carried back in retreat to Fornost..."
- —Appendix A, The Lord of the Rings
Recruit the personal Guard of the Palantir to defend Arnor with spear and sword to the bitter end. They are heroic units, being limited to 3 battalions on the battlefield at a time.
Abilities[]
/ 
Toggle Weapon - Switch between sword and lance.
Level 5: Defend Building - The Palantir Guards protect an allied building. The target building becomes invulnerable for 30 seconds.
Flank Defence - Pikemen are used to defending from all sides when battling against monsters and cavalry. As a result, they cannot be flanked. They take no extra damage from being flanked and deal full revenge damage regardless of the direction they get trampled from.
Upgrades[]
 |
This unit has no upgrades. This means that this unit can not gain any sort of permanent boost from upgrades found in either its palantir or from other units/heroes. If this is not the case, fill in the section following the format of other pages. |
Strategy[]
Guards of the Palantir are Arnor's most powerful units, proficient with both swords and spears. They are slow but extremely resilient and can defeat most enemy battalions, even elite ones. If you have all three battalions in a fight, there is a high chance of winning it. Be sure to have them switch weapons based on what kind of units they are fighting to increase their effectiveness. Having a level 5 battalion near a vulnerable building will also be useful because of their Defend Building ability.
