Strategy

Théodred is quite an unique support Hero. He is centered around a building called Guard Post that he can summon at level 1 with the ability Guard Post. This building can shoot arrows and be garrisoned with an battalion that will be healed and will also be able to shoot. This ability is useful for protecting settlements and the main choke-points of the map. At level 3, he gains Repair Work, an ability that repairs all buildings in a wide range around the targeted Guard Post. This can be useful to repair settlements that might have been attacked by the enemy, or even Regular Buildings if you put a Guard Post near your base. At level 5, he is able to man the Guard Post with the Garrison Of Meduseld, that will protect the building and give it 50% more armor, making it able to resist the hordes of the enemy in a better way. At level 10, he unlocks Defense of the Riddermark, an ability that makes him deal double damage, be faster, and that makes him impossible to be knocked down. Aside from that, the Guard Posts will be even more protected.

Overall, Théodred is a really good Support Hero. The Guard Post has lots of utilities, ranging from settlements and choke-point protection to repairing buildings and even healing units. He is sure worth his cost.
