Vickers, Addai-Robinson, Bower, and Weyman, along with co-creator Patrick McKay, gathered at Mashable's Say More studio to engage in this friendly competition. The group debated which characters would be the most effective in battling Sauron, considering their strengths and abilities. The cast members' choices revealed their preferences, with some prioritizing their combat prowess while others focused on the unique skills each character brought to the team.
