There's nothing spectacular about it really. It's based on two ideas:
1) Covert Minion companies often rely on cancelling detainment attacks at
and 
.2) Many Overt Minion companies get their mileage from
.For the first, the combination of Awaken/Arouse Defenders slices through that -- most detainment attacks at minion
and are of the "each character faces one strike at x prowess." The combination of those two raises the prowess by two, makes the attack non-detainment, and makes it impossible to cancel.Also, against Overt burn decks, secondary auto attacks in Gondor become a lot nastier, while the combo of Incite/Arouse Defenders makes Beorn's House a fearsome target.
For
it's basically the same principle -- a lot of Minion companies cancel their way past , Incite the Denizens and Arouse them to cut through that.The creatures are grab-bag -- heavy wilderness for Eriador, and Wild Beasts for tapping companies in Mordor. Cave Drakes and Ambushers for specific targets.
For vs. Heroes, take out the Defender cards and stick in the Minion cards.
