Game Of Thrones Season 7: 9 Hints From 'Death Is The Enemy' Trailer

2. One White Walker Joins The Fight (Does Dragonglass Even Work?!)

It's not just going to be Jon's raiders versus hordes of cannon fodder wights - at some point we're going to see at least one White Walker join the fight and meet Jon in one-on-one combat.

And while Jon might have dragonglass, it doesn't appear to give him all that much of an advantage in traditional combat. Sure, it will help him fight (his sword doesn't just smash to pieces), but it has no effect on the Walker's weapon - so it must only be a help when stabbing.

In the background, some of the other raiders fight wights - including one standing fighting nobody. Seriously, he's just behind Jon.

We also get the traditional "stand and watch menacingly" shot of the Night King and his commanders, once more letting the wights do most of their dirty work. They always look a bit shocked.

And a nice look at the exceptional effects work on one Rattleshirt-looking wight...
