- —Carthaen to the forces of Angmar, ROTWK

Abilities
Level 1: Switch Weapons - Left-click to toggle between bow and sword. +50% armor when toggled to sword.
Level 1: Lone Watchman - Carthaen and his men are the last survivors of the destroyed realm Cardolan and protect their home to this day. A Barrow Guard of Cardolan pitches up his tent and watches for the terror of Angmar. The guard is invisible to enemies.
Level 2: Resolve - Although his home was lost a long time ago, Carthaen continues to fight against the growing shadow. He gets +25% attack and movement speed, and his life regeneration is twice as fast when he is not in combat.
Level 5: Carthaen's Companions - Carthaen recruits some of the Rangers of Arnor to serve as Hill Guards and protect his home, the hills of Cardolan. Rangers can now be appointed as Hill Guards. (Passive ability)

Strategy
Carthaen is probably the most powerful scout hero in the game. He can toggle between bow and sword and can set up watchmen to permanently grant vision in an area since it is invisible. He can increase his attack speed and health regeneration to actually manage to survive on his own unlike most scout heroes. He can give the "Barrow Guard" upgrade to Dunedain rangers which gives them a powerful new ability. His level 10 power, if you're lucky, can decimate an entire army, if I upgraded.
