Good Uruk Traits to Brand
Hey folks, been having a fun time playing again, but I'm noticing while working on the randomness of traits for Uruk Captains I'm aiming for, some traits obviously work better than others, some are in grey-zone, some are just useless (as in those for the player alone is affected).

Lately I'm running into conflicting information on some. For instance 'Battle-Hardened', which makes it so you have to execute them when they're out of health. However, I've had folks say it protects them from One-Shot-Kills from other Uruks, but I swear I've seen a Battle Hardened be killed exactly that way regardless! Can someone confirm?

What I have so far for everything else is trial and error.

Good:
Immune to Ranged - Does what it says, my captains don't take ranged damage from any source.
Gang Leader - More the better
Inspiring Presence - Makes others attack together or with him.
Any Weapon Damage - Obviously
Deadly - Half enemy health in one hit, anyone?
Monster Slayer - Immune to beasts, kills them quick. (Combine that with Hate of X-Animal)
Quick Shot - Three Shot Bursts
Initiative - Doesn't bother with posturing or showing off, he just goes for the fight.
Regeneration - Recovers health slowly
Blood Thirsty - Life per hit.

Maybe:
Battle-Hardened
Fearless - Uruk doesn't retreat, but more liable to be killed if things go badly for him.
Fast Runner - Good when your Uruk needs to get outta dodge, not so much if you need to grab him.
Grapple - Occasionally they'll grab and toss their foes.
Throat Grab - I've seen this used as an instant kill move, can't confirm.
Deflect - Not sure if it works, but I've seen Captains do this.
Deflect & Counter - Same as above


Worthless / Ignorable:
Fear of Rival - Just becomes useless, why risk.
Immune to Stealth - Only applies to you
Combat Master - Only applies to you
Ambusher - Only applies to you
Sniffer - Only applies to you
Tracker - Only applies to you
Vault Breaker - Only applies to you
Wraith Stun Blocker - Only applies to you
Backlash - Only applies to you
Humiliator - Only applies to you
No Chance - Only applies to you
Sneaky - Only applies to you
Summoner - Only applies to you
Demanding Leader - Just gobbles up more Captains as body guards
Skirmisher - Goes in and backs out, meaning he'll only fight half the time.
Cautious - If he's not fighting, he's not doing anything worthwhile.

I wonder if this will apply in the new game?
