Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

Aragorn and Faramir Upgrades

While you will be unable to play as Faramir until you have completed the quest set forth in the game, he is usable after completion of the main game. The upgrades purchased here must, unfortunately, be purchased for each human individually, and will not affect both just by purchasing them once.

Ranger Fury

Cost	4000
Level Available	2
Moves	Fierce
Description	A devastating attack that causes lightning damage.
Recommendation	Ranger Fury, as with all other Fierce-only moves, can be quite powerful, but charging it can take a short while. If there are other upgrades that you want to purchase when this is available, purchase them first.

Gondorian Sword Master

Cost	3500
Level Available	3
Moves	Special
Description	Increase damage and get to perfect mode more quickly with this special ability.
Recommendation	Once you pump up the humans' special ability all the way you will be able to hit Perfect mode quite quickly, and this is the first step along that path.

Dunedain Arrows

Cost	5000
Level Available	3
Moves	Ranged
Description	These blessed Elven arrows cause additional damage.
Recommendation	Aragorn and Faramir are already good bowmen, but with these arrows they will be able to take out a great many enemies with only one hit.

Wilderness Rage

Cost	5000
Level Available	4
Moves	Fierce
Description	A more devastating attack that sets enemies on fire (requires Ranger Fury).
Recommendation	This is an upgraded version of Ranger Fury, and it should be purchased after every other ability available to you has been purchased.

Rivendell Arrows

Cost	5500
Level Available	6
Moves	Ranged
Description	These arrows emit a lightning arc on impact (requires Dunedain Arrows).
Recommendation	This will increase the damage of the ranged attack of your Human of choice even more.

Wrath of Numenor

Cost	7000
Level Available	6
Moves	Fierce
Description	A most devastating attack that emits a ring of fireballs (requires Wilderness Rage).
Recommendation	This attack, an upgraded version of Wilderness Rage, is actually more useful than the previous ones, and should be considered after you make the Rivendell Arrows upgrade.

Kingmaker

Cost	7000
Level Available	7
Moves	Special
Description	Increase damage and reach perfect mode even faster (requires Gondorian Sword Master).
Recommendation	This upgrade will allow Aragorn or Faramir to hit perfect mode almost immediately when using their special ability.

Mithril Arrows

Cost	7000
Level Available	8
Moves	Ranged
Description	These magical arrows set your enemies on fire (requires Rivendell Arrows).
Recommendation	These are the most powerful arrows that Faramir or Aragorn are able to possess.

Strength of the Evenstar

Cost	5000
Level Available	10
Moves	N/A
Description	Permanently increase your health (requires Strength of the Fellowship).
Recommendation	This upgrade should be purchased immediately for maximum health for Faramir and Aragorn.

Sword Mastery of Kings

Cost	25000
Level Available	10
Moves	Speed
Description	Increases the damage of your speed attack.
Recommendation	With all of the increases to the damage done by the fierce attack, it is about time to have an increase to the speed attack's damage. Purchase this upgrade as soon as it is available.
