Into the Pit/Arise help

These are the two sword missions that have you swarmed by 50 uruks that I'm having trouble with. I'm not good enough to fight flawlessly so I was looking for advice in dealing with them. I have all 3 legendary powers so I might be able to do it by spamming those but are there any tricks for dealing with large mobs more quickly other than just not missing a block or dodge?

Someone will probably have better ideas but here you are some:
Keep them away with Wraith Flash when you are surrounded,
Stay at the border of the group, not in the middle of the mob,
Jump over the orcs, you can stay invulnerable this way,
Keep them at bay with the daggers, building the Hit Streak.

That helped a bit anyway. I finished the easier one, only 40 to kill; just kept moving, used my sword legendary, spammed wraith flash. Just one more sword and one more dagger to complete before going for the end game.

target the enemies you have trouble with over enemies you can easily kill.

kill all archers and hunters before focusing on the melee fighters because archers and hunters can easily interrupt your chain leading you to have to start the chain again.

don't ground execute because in the middle of these huge fights it will be impossible to do it before you need to counter an attack unless the ground execution occurs on outer edges of the fight.

Take advantage of enemies grouping up tightly and wraith flash then wraithburn in the middle of them. It is best not to wraith flash until your hitstreak is 20+ because it will have a much larger radius and do much more damage. It is okay to use it below 20 but don't expect much from it unless you are just trying to get them to back off.

If there are any things you can exploit like fires, grog, or caragors in cages then definitely use them to your advantage. If the place you are fighting in is too tight and there isn't enough room to move around then feel free to find a place you are able to fight well in as long as it is in the mission area.

Executions are also your best friend in these fights.

I'm not the best fighter in this game so there definitely are probably more tips the tips i gave might not be the best.

Save that one for later on after you've done other missions and upgraded yourself some. Also somethign that helps me a lot when I get swarmed is to shoot a whole bunch of Uruks in the head with the bow/arrow, need lots of focus but it's one hit kill and it slows down time so you can concentrate. Then you can just combat drain (again, gotten later on) to refill focus / arrows.
