Legolas Upgrades

Mirkwood Arrows

Cost	5000
Level Available	2
Moves	Ranged
Description	These blessed Elven arrows cause additional damage.
Recommendation	As one of the best ranged heroes available, the ranged upgrades that Legolas has available to him should always be purchased as soon as they are available, to capitalize upon one of his major assets.

Light of Lothlorien

Cost	3500
Level Available	3
Moves	Special
Description	Increase damage and get to Perfect Mode more quickly with this Special Ability.
Recommendation	Because the special ability that Legolas uses enables him to dish out much more damage, and reach perfect mode faster, any upgrade that enhances that ability should be purchased immediately.

Elven Fury

Cost	4000
Level Available	4
Moves	Fierce
Description	A devastating attack that causes lightning damage.
Recommendation	Unlike Gandalf's fierce ability, Legolas' does not do any serious damage against more than one enemy, even after you power it up, and often it is faster to just use speed attacks. As a result I do not recommend upgrading this unless you have a lot of experience to spare (which you eventually will).

Lothlorien Arrows

Cost	5500
Level Available	5
Moves	Ranged
Description	These arrows emit a lightning arc on impact (requires Mirkwood Arrows).
Recommendation	As with any time Legolas' ranged attack can be enhanced, this upgrade should be purchased immediately.

Arrows of the Valar

Cost	7000
Level Available	7
Moves	Ranged
Description	These magical arrows set your enemies on fire (requires Lothlorien Arrows).
Recommendation	Instead of just doing more damage, this upgrade will cause a bit of damage over time, and should be purchased as soon as you can it.

Galadriel's Gift

Cost	7000
Level Available	7
Moves	Special
Description	Increase damage and reach Perfect Mode even faster (requires Light of Lothlorien).
Recommendation	The final upgrade to Legolas' special ability, this will allow you to hit perfect mMode almost instantly.

Elrond's Rage

Cost	5000
Level Available	8
Moves	Fierce
Description	A more devastating attack that sets enemies on fire (requires Elven Fury).
Recommendation	The second and final Fierce attack upgrade that is available to Legolas, Elrond's Rage still takes entirely too long to execute for too little benefit. Pick this up if you are looking for an upgrade to spend experience on, but not before you have everything else available to you at this point.

Mithril Arrows

Cost	10500
Level Available	9
Moves	Ranged
Description	These arrows penetrate and set on fire all enemies in their path (requires Arrows of the Valar).
Recommendation	With this upgrade Legolas will not only be able to set enemies on fire, but he will also be able to shoot through enemies. Definitely purchase this upgrade as soon as you can.

Elven Bow Mastery

Cost	25000
Level Available	10
Moves	Ranged
Description	Fire two arrows at two targets with a single shot.
Recommendation	The final key in turning Legolas into a complete ranged monster is Elven Bow Mastery. With this ability you will not only be able to fire two different arrows at two different targets at the same time, but they will also each have the benefits that your arrows had before, that is, they will be able to go through enemies and set them on fire. With this upgrade alone Legolas can hold off hordes of enemies, so long as he has enough arrows to keep going.
