EASY way to BRAND Warchiefs!

[the Winter Warlock]

I think I may have stumbled on an easy way to brand Warchiefs...
You don't brand them....

Here is what I discovered. After Branding 3 warchief, which is hard to do already, I discovered that when I tried doing on the 4th, it was really hard. I kept trying for a few more times until I accidently killed him completely. What happeded was, the game went into the Sauron's Army menu, and showed the warchief I killed get replaced by another Captain that became warchief. That captain had already been branded!

So I am thinking for all of you out there. Simply Brand Captains just under the Warchief status and simple outright kill the first warchiefs...

Difficultywise this makes sense. Strategically, this would make your army weaker as the warchief you could not kill would be overpowered. I always brand the good stuff and kill the rest.

I should probably say, it's better to do this on the Trial of the Hunt DLC.

Oh then this totally makes sense.

there's three way to brand warchiefs:
1. brand one of the captains, make him warchief bodyguard through grab ---> dominate ---> command ----> be body guard of warchief, and make sure he survives the battle when you kill the current warchief.

2. get the warchief low as heck health and use brand to "finish him off". you CANNOT grab these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for some reason, you have to brand from a standstill, just hold circle or B in the middle of combat. Make sure it's just you and him left to make it easier, but you might be able to pull it off in a horde, if you're lucky. If the branding is enough to kill his health, he will automatically become branded instead of dying and will regain most/all his health back.

3. get RNG lucky ---> he will be on his knees so you can deliver finishing blow, but instead of just being able to kill him, you can dominate. once you dominate him and give him a command, he will be branded. use this opportunity to make him riot against another warchief if you need more, still.
