Eomer

Eomer is the brother to Éowyn and the nephew of Theoden, the king of Rohan. After the death of Theoden's son, he has become heir to the throne. He is a hero of Rohan in BFME 1 and of the Men of the West in BFME 2.

Battle for Middle Earth 1

Level requirements for unlocking skills are based on the 1.09 patch.

Overview

Eomer is the primary Rohan hero during the Good Campaign, leading the players's army in most missions of the first half of the game.

He is an affordable, durable and skilled melee warrior, theoretically able to outlive in combat both his king and his sister. Unfortunately he lacks defensive abilities, which makes him in truth the most vulnerable to prolonged fighting. For this reason Eomer is extremely offensive oriented and best used in hit & run attacks.

His main strength are his two passive abilities: morale boost to nearby cavlary and scavenging ressources from killed enemies. If need be however, he can throw a spear that deals great amount of damage.
