"Well, I think he is a very great wizard... in his own way. He's a gentle soul who prefers the company of animals for others. He keeps a watchful eye over the vast forest lands to the East..."
—Gandalf

**Radagast** is one of the Istari and a good friend of Gandalf the Grey. He is a summonable hero for the Lothlorien faction. Once you gain 7 power points you can summon him in 1 of 3 forms - on foot, on eagle, or on sleigh.

## On foot

### Abilities

 **Nature's Breath (Y) -** Radagast uses his mastery of the magic of nature to blast back targeted enemies. Left click on the icon then left click on the target units.

 **Thorn Bush (X) -** creates thick, thorny brambles which damage and slow all enemy units who walk through. Left click on the icon then left click on the target area.

 **Break the Spell (C) -** Radagast uses his magic to break the spells of evil, restoring and nurturing allies. Units in target area are healed. Left click on the icon then left click on the target units.

### Strategy

On foot Radagast has mass slayer and unit supporter aspects. He can blast back enemies using *Nature's Breath*, gradually destroy enemies using *Thorn Bush* and heal targeted ally units and heroes using *Break the Spell*. His melee attack is weak, but true strength lies within his abilities.

## On eagle

Radagast flies on an eagle and can be attacked only by ranged units.

### Abilities

 **Raven's Cry (Y) -** Radagast cries out in the voice of a raven, summoning a flock of his raven friends from Rhosgobel. They will fly to the targeted area, scouting everything they see in a straight line to the target point, then fly off the map back to their nests. Left click on the icon then left click on the target area.

 **Friends of the Sky (X) -** Radagast calls for an eagle friend to dive into the targeted units, dealing very heavy damage to them. Left click on the icon then left click on the target unit/siege weapon/hero.

 **Break the Spell (C) -** Radagast uses his magic to break the spells of evil, restoring and nurturing allies. Units in target area are healed. Left click on the icon then left click on the target units.

### Strategy

On eagle, Radagast is protected from melee attacks, but you must beware of ranged attacks. In this form he is basically a scout using *Raven's Cry*, a healer using *Break the Spell,* and he has little mass slayer aspect when using spell *Friends of the Sky.* On eagle, Radagast is able to easily escape from enemies.

## On sleigh

Radagast mounts his sleigh. In this form he can't attack, but he can knock back units when moving and use spells.

### Abilities

 **Rhosgobel Rabbits -** Hostile units that are driven past by Radagast are 25% slower and have 25% less armor. *Passive Ability.*

 **Friends of the Sky (X) -** Radagast calls for an eagle friend to dive into the targeted units, dealing very heavy damage to them. Left click on the icon then left click on the target unit/siege weapon/hero.

 **Break the Spell (C) -** Radagast uses his magic to break the spells of evil, restoring and nurturing allies. Units in target area are healed. Left click on the icon then left click on the target units.

### Strategy

If you summon Radagast on sleigh he can be used mostly for scouting. His sleigh has fast movement speed, so you can use him in this form to lure enemies away from your troops or search for the Ring.
