The Collectibles Are Actually Worth Hunting Down
And of course it’s great for ensuring cowardly Orcs can’t flee (which they will often try)ħ. Locking an enemy to the ground is hugely useful as it gives you time to clear lesser troops with them immobilized, and you can wail on them when they’re locked in place in a way that you may not be able to do otherwise. Also, I highly recommend pinning in the Ranged tree where you shoot an enemy in the foot to freeze them in place. I flip over Orcs, freeze them from behind, then cut into them. The first is the Wraith move that turns your stun into a total freeze, which you can follow up with a flurry of strikes that will usually get you close to max Might. There are a few skills that I’ve found very much necessary for 1v1 fights. I talked about crowd control earlier, but obviously killing Captains and Warchiefs is a huge part of the game as well. You can have your favorites if you want, but unless you build them into overpowered monsters, expect to lose a bunch of them.Ħ. I was devastated, but the more I play, the more I find my Orcs randomly being executed in battles when summoned because you simply have very little control of how many fights shake out. In one of the very first matches I sent my boy in to fight an Orc four levels below him and he lost, and got butchered. After a series of missions, I was introduced to the fighting pits, where Orcs battled against one another. Early on, I bonded with the first Orc I took over (not Bruz, one after him that you get to pick), and made him my bodyguard. I’ve learned that this game is way too random to reliably keep even your favorite Orcs alive.
Just don’t expect to rely too heavily on stealth this time around. This is why you do your research I guess. Worst case, they’re stealth immune or enraged by it, and you’re in hot water. And while a few Captains have a weakness that will let you autokill them with stealth, the vast majority don’t and at best you’ll get a bit of damage in before a full-on brawl breaks out immediately. Yes, there will be some missions that will require you to use stealth, and they are usually mapped out accordingly, but more generally? There are just too many damn Orcs everywhere moving and spawning in unpredictable ways that trying to be stealthy in the overworld is almost impossible. What I’ve found is that the other side effect of having Orcs literally everywhere in Shadow of War is that trying to take on most situations using stealth is now nearly impossible.
