Best way to kill uruk defender class in fight pit?
Normal Uruk-Hai can never penetrate the defender shield with normal attack from the front, unless they spam execution moves or use range attack that can't be block. Most of the uruk-hai love to keep use normal attack and that's how my follower keep dying, if they meet the same level opponent with defender class bonus. Not to mention that they are tanky as well.

Here are some of the best class that i came up with for fight pits:

Defender > Savage Savage > Archer Olog-hai > Archer
Defender > Warrior Savage > Warrior Olog-hai > Warrior
Defender > Archer Savage > Hunter Olog-hai > Defender
Defender > Hunter Savage > Olog-hai Olog-hai < Hunter
Defender < Olog-hai Savage < Defender Olog-hai < Savage

Some people would ask why range lost again defender, if its attack can't be block? Well yeah the range uruk has the fewest hp out of every class and can't defend any normal attack. That's why they died with 9-10 normal attacks from another class, if they didn't attack fast enough.

Olog-hai attack are slow but it's heavy and can stun with one normal attack. I just found out that olog-hai love to use execution attack as hell. Their execution attack deal around 20-30% hp everytime they use it. In my match Savage vs Olog-hai, my savage follower got grabbed by him like 5-6 times a row and that's pretty insane. However i saw that olog-hai can get stun easily by fast normal attack from Hunter and Savage, especially when they are enraged.

Savage almost beat every class except the defender, because it has fast frontal attack especially in enrage mode but use rarely execution moves. That's why it can't deal damage against the defender, if it doesn't use execution moves.

Another options to beat defender class are destroyer stun mines, bombs or berserker whirlwind attack that will ignore the defender shield block. But in my opinion the stun bombs didn't really stun sometimes when it exploded in front of the defender shield.

What do you guys think about this balance? I would i say not good, because my win rate with warrior, hunter, archer were like 30% of all the time, even with legendary traits buff. Defender and Savage has like 80% and Olog-hai like 60%.

Berserker whirlwind attack seems to be the winning move in the pit fights I've watched (a couple hundred). The berserkers who do this move over and over win every time.

And that, is how my current Sergoroth Overlord, Zuka the rash, came to be legendary - Defender berserker orc.

In the arena fight pits though, it is generally who gets enraged first that wins - Even my savage commander orc managed to win all the way to legendary, simply by having "enraged by everything" at his side.

Funnily enough, it seems that when you put two defender berserkers against one another, when both get enraged near the start of the battle - They would fight until the time runs out. They kept healing up through enrage as the battle went on, I wasn't even sure WHO was going to win.
