The Cold-Drake is a Dragon enemy created by Fantasy Flight Games for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game. It is encountered in The Withered Heath adventure pack.
Biography[]
The Cold-Drake is a Cold-Drake that lives in the harsh land of the Withered Heath. The player's heroes seek out clues of where the mother of the Fire-Drake they killed in the Iron Hills is. Soon they track down the Cold-Drake and corner it. After a fierce fight the heroes manage to slay the beast, but only to find out that it is not the Dragon they where looking for; as it was smaller than the dragon they slayed earlier.
The Cold-Drake's armored scales are strong enough to shrug off all but heavy attackers. Its teeth and claws are sharp enough to shred even a fully armored warrior to pieces. However, unlike its Fire-Drake cousins, Cold-Drakes cannot breathe fire.
Strategy[]
The Cold-Drake biggest threat to the players is its attack strength and special abilities. The Cold-Drake gains strength with more Dragon Signs in the victory display; which is a catch 22 as more Signs allows for players to deal more damage to it. The best way to defend against it is to either use characters with 4 or more defense (attachment buffs help a lot) or sacrifice a weaker ally. To defeat it, use either many 2-3 attack strength characters or with a few high attack characters. The Cold-Drake can only recieve up to 4 damage each round so it will take a minimum of 5 rounds to defeat it. The Cold-Drake can make an attack to every player at the start of the quest phase so it is important to have strong defenders or many allies as the fight with the Cold-Drake will be a tough one.
