Ulaire Lemenya is not very good at winning skirmishes by himself, but when combined with one or two other heavy-hitting Nazgul he can be a force to be reckoned with. His ability allows any currently skirmishing minion to take advantage of the condition you've managed to attach to your opponent's companions, which at -2 can be decisive.

Of the available cards that can be used to activate his ability, Sauron's Gaze is the cheapest and can ensure the companion in question holds still long enough for the strength difference to take its toll. Black Breath on the other hand is usable in most formats and has a long lasting ability which can suffocate companions outside skirmishes. The other conditions are more situational but can of course be taken advantage of whenever it's convenient.

While it can be satisfying to make your opponent squirm after you've carpet-bombed his Fellowship with conditions, Lemenya is unfortunately lacking the Lurker keyword and thus is often sniped or skirmished first to mitigate his effect on the other skirmishes' outcome. Your best defense is to have Archery protection (such as Wreathed in Shadow) and perhaps an All Blades Perish or two to prevent Greenleaf or Aragorn's Bow sniping.
