When the King reaches Rank 6, he gains Anduril, the Flame of the West, whose strikes reduce enemy hero armour with every blow. At Rank 7, he mounts his steed, allowing him to ride into battle with Knights of Gondor and Dol Amroth. At Rank 10, he can use his inspiration command of men's hearts to deliver an Oath to Arms.
