BUILD THE BEST URUK FOR PITS & FORTRESS - What Skills to Look Out For | Shadow of War

Doesn't matter how OP an uruk is. If all they do is run around and taunt for the entire fight while getting shot at and poisoned.

I swear Uruks loose half there brain cells when in a pit fight I

well there needs to be tweeks to the fight pit AI anyways, seems to me that sometimes my uruks just die becuase they were standing there scratching their nut sacks instead of trying to fight.

Every time I send an archer into the pits he doesn’t even fire his crossbow, he just either uses it as a melee weapon or keeps loading it and just never fires.

No intro. Straight to the point. Like +1 after first 10sec of the video. Good work.

i got ambushed by this captain inside my fortress then uses his horn but no one came instead his ass got beat up 😂

There is a mortal weakness that makes the uruk run away when he sees the gravewalker it was in shadow of mordor too

I have this one berserker with enraged by everything and great strength. he's incredibly strong but has a huge downside, he killed 2 of my other captains in one siege...

seeing how deep these classes are really makes me want a middle earth game where we can make our own uruk and try to rise up to be an overlord. i think that would be so damn cool with all of the different options they have

A particularly lethal Overlord + Bodyguard combo: Look for an Overlord immune to everything except for one element (forget stealth immunity, doesn’t matter). Then assign two Commanders as his bodyguards, both with the Warder trait that the Overlord needs. Behold! An Overlord immune to everything, constantly enraged orcs due to War Banners or death of the Commanders, and if you go so far as to get a Necromancer, the dead are rising.

I got a guy called "The Maniac"(Because of shaming). He is a warrior berserker, that has a bag on his head from comeback(He killed me twice and died once from my follower, when he wasn't that good). A ton of hates, including "Enraged by everything", and some other cool shit. Unfortunately, no epic traits, but in the pitfights he is just spamming feral claws, rampage and chokeslams. He is absolutely OP in pits, and almost as good vs player. He is truly a maniac, he only laughs in the face of his opponents, that and the bag on his head make him really scary. And only a few days before, he was just an annoying slave, that somehow managed to get a lucky hit...

I've got a follower called Golm the Legendary, he's a level 65 savage with no weaknesses, legendary, a shitton of epic traits, and the No Chance trait. I've got him as my Overlord alongside an Epic level 65 bodyguard also with the No Chance trait and enraged by everything, and I've yet to be notified of anyone successfully conquering my fortress with him in it. Once you get knocked down by either of these guys who are really difficult to fight, it's all over immediately. I actually had to get three of my best captains on a mission together to be able to defeat and recruit him because he killed me so much.

The most annoying Captin I had to face was a frost proof, arrow-proof, vault breaker, trickster, with a poison sword, and had doppelgangers. He's my overlord now.

I would love for Monolith to add some sort of Uruk Creator, where you can create/build your own Uruks following some sort of point system. For instance: You start with 5 points for abilities and each time you add a Strength you lose points and when you add a weakness you gain points, this is to keep the balance.

Actually, it's perfectly acceptable for an Uruk to have a Beast Fodder weakness if he also has the Beast Slayer bonus trait. The only beast he could take damage from is a Drake, and that's a pretty rare occurence.

I once had a... questionable experience in the fight pits trying to infiltrate an olog as a war chief spy, he was fighting a guy who was legendary, 10 levels above him, and riding a dire caragor. I thought my guy was dead but for some reason the one he was fighting literally just sat there not even trying to attack as my olog slowly killed his caragor and then proceeded to falcon punch him to death

7:43 if you are playing on Gravewalker difficulty, then most definitely get vigilant against stealth because sometimes the only thing you can do to damage a captain is to sprint out of combat then repeatedly stealth attack the target.

Before my game got erased, I had an archer with explosive shots and bombs, and an elite gang of archers also with explosive shots. In the pits it was like a non stop artillery barrage right out of the gate on whoever they caught. The enemy could barely take two steps without being bombarded to hell.

If you decide to build an olog the tribe does not matter because ologs don't have tribe traits like hail of bolts or terror chains etc. They can't use them

The level of detail monolith puts into their uruks and ologs is insane! I just wish we could play as them
