Skirmishes are one of the key elements of the Siege of Mirkwood expansion. They add a whole new dimension to the game, and have their own “rules” and “requirements”. One of the main components of skirmishes is the use of soldiers. There are 6 soldiers for players to choose from, and sometimes this choice can be a little daunting. Which soldier do I choose? Do I take a herbalist? We all need to be healed sometimes, right? Do I take a protector? If I can keep the enemies off me, I won’t need heals, right?

This post is not meant to be a detailed look at each and every single skill that the soldiers have. Nor is it meant to be a detailed look at where the soldiers end up when you level them fully. This post is meant to help those of you struggling to find the right soldier for your character class and play style.
