It's a mistake as far as I'm concerned but at least it
works better in this film than it did in the first chapter, ironically enough in part because of a new character who is nowhere to be found in any of Tolkein's fictions: elf
warrior Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly), who brings some much - needed passion to a film filled with characters reduced to stock
types.
As well as being able to level up your Hero, upgrade their stats and even create a whole range of crests that
work a lot like the badges from Hyrule
Warriors, as they can be used to allow your character to learn more combos, take less damage from enemies of various
types and even learn skills, they can also be promoted to new classes.
