How do I kill a high-level archer Captain surrounded by Uruks?

[NecessaryWeevil]

Hi, so I this jerk who's already killed me like three times shows up in an Execution mission. I guess I have to stop him before he executes the kneeling Captain. But he's surrounded by like 20 uruks, all I have are first-tier abilities, and he basically one-shots me when he hits me. What am I supposed to do here??

Firstly- do Not go after him until you've grinded some power and Exp, and upgraded some basic build
Secondly- unlock rune Slots and place in some! they can change a tide dramatically
Last (but not Least importantly)- upgrade your stats for Mirian you get from artifacts and secrets/ any Extra missions

Strategy- wise, if you have many Uruks- try using the barrel/fire explosion skill to dispense of many around one. No explosive Object? Get Urfael Storm power Charged, Or simply start flurrying+ Exploding heads, that causes other uruks to run in fear sometimes Too.
And of Course, if you haven't already- use Captain's weaknesses!

dont go after captains that can whoop your ass? go for the small fry early, and go for the big ones when you are strong enough
