Card usage[]
In the card game, Kahliel is largely associated with having him in a deck with other Haradrim characters. Kahliel's willpower of 2 is good for him to be used for questing regularly, especially if you can refresh in afterwards. His attack value of 2 is good enough for him to be used as an attacker regularly, however, some enemies will take a few turns to die if Kahliel is attacking alone. His defense of 2 is good to use of him as a defender and his health of 4 does not last very long, against enemies with an attack value of 3 or more.
