Boromir

Boromir is one of the Heroes available for Gondor. He can be recruited from the Citadel.

He is the first son of Denethor, the steward of Gondor and brother to Faramir.

Abilities
Boromir blows his horn, scaring nearby enemies. Allied troops near Boromir gain +50% Damage and Armor and level up twice as quickly. Boromir gives selected allied units a boost on experience.
 * Horn of Gondor (Rank 2)
 * Leadership (Rank 5)
 * Captain of Gondor (Rank 6)

Advantages
Boromir works great if you have him escorted by a small army. Due to his Leadership ability, he can quickly kill his foes with his army. In addition, whenever he is cornered by enemies, he can always use his Horn of Gondor to make them scared and escape.

Disadvantages
Boromir might be quite strong as a soldier, however, there are some issues that weaken him. Just as stated above, being cornered by enemies with low health can threaten him. Using Horn of Gondor can help, however, enemies that are Rank 2 or higher will not be affected by the ability. In addition, Boromir can fall quickly, just like Faramir.
