"Arwen: Long years have passed, you did not have the cares you carry now. Do you remember what I told you?
Aragorn: You said you would bind yourself to me, forsaking the immortal life of your people.
Arwen: And to that I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of the world alone. I choose a mortal life."
—Fellowship of the Ring

Arwen Undómiel was Lady of Rivendell and daughter of Lord Elrond, she fell in love with the mortal Dúnedain Chieftain Aragorn and chose to forsake the immortality of her people, similar to the Tale of Beren and Lúthien. She played her part in the War of the Ring by helping escort Frodo across the Fords of Bruinen and bravely keeping the Nazgûl at bay; she also wove the Banner of the Evenstar and requested that Halbarad bear it when he and the Grey Company rode to the aid of Aragorn.

In Age of the Ring, Arwen is a hero in Rivendell, she is unique as she is one of the few heroes, such as Roäc, that level up via manual upgrades. She is unable to attack enemy units.

## Strategy

Arwen is quite a difficult hero to use due to the fact that she cannot attack and so requires constant micromanagement to prevent her becoming surrounded by enemies. By using her basic attack, she can stay at a distance while buffing friendly units engaged in combat. She is still vulnerable to being attacked though and must be protected. However, she is the cheapest of Rivendell's heroes and if used cautiously can be an excellent hero support, especially as her **Undómiel** ability levels up. Already powerful heroes, such as Glorfindel and Elrond, fighting nearby Arwen become even more challenging to defeat due to the buffs that Arwen provides. Additionally, Arwen can support allied units whilst disrupting enemy units: **Image of Lúthien** enables friendly units to quickly escape a losing battle, **Blessing of Tinuviel** renders enemy units susceptible to attacks and **Power of the Evenstar** makes defeating regular units difficult for the enemy as they regain health upon dealing damage.
