Ability Priority List

Written byUros Stojakovic

This is the list of all existing characters in LOTRh’s current roster along with their ability priorities. You will not find ability descriptions here – you will only see which abilities have priorities for upgrading and what minimum level of development is needed for the character to be fully effective.

Instead of writing Ability names, we will give general names for all abilities according to their placement on the character screen. Then we will use those general names below each character to set up priorities and minimum Ability level requirements. Abilities on top have the highest priority to be gradually decreased from top to bottom where are abilities with the lowest priority.

At the start, everything will be on this page and you can quickly find characters by entering a few letters of their name in our search. Later, as we add each character page on the site, this search will transfer you directly to desired character page where you will find everything else important regarding that character in addition to his Ability Priority list.

This is how abilities will be named according to their position on the character screen in-game:

  • Leader
  • Basic
  • Special
  • Ultimate
  • Passive

(keep in mind that this is the ability position from the game. Each character will have those abilities differently listed according to priority)

Obviously, your goal is that all characters you are using have all abilities maximized but there is a long way there and in the meantime, everyone needs some direction for investing Gold and Ability Materials. Also do not, presume when you see what is needed in the end game that you will need to improve all characters from the roster to reach our suggestion – this implies only to those you will (all possible synergies and teams are explained in other articles on our site)
