MY BUILD AND STRATEGY FOR TOP LEVEL ONLINE SIEGES

[Omar Faruk]

After playing this game for 255 hours I came up with this build. I call it "perfect" because I studied my personal mistakes on top level sieges and improved my abilities AND gear loadouts which ended up with this specific build and strategy. I think its worth sharing and please not that this is all just my personal opinions. I am sure there's someone there who has better tactics and ideas than me.

I wont explain how to speedrun every single top level sieges firstly because I dont get gold timer mostly and there's plenty of skilled people on youtube you can study to.

This is my build

It was a drop from 85 level orc and got broken by an Olog to get it up to 90. Its enough to have it on 80 level. I had to reroll the secondary multiple times to get this effect but you might be lucky to drop it with same secondary.

Make sure you have this effect on dagger. You can drop it with that secondary too if you are lucky enough. If you dont want to spend gems then keep farming orcs till you get it.

I had to reroll a lot of times to get this effect. Its very rare and you have to use gems to do that.

Unfarmable. You have to reroll with gems..

Note that I have fully upgraded all prestige skills which takes 100 sp each to max. I would suggest on NOT to focus on a single prestige but divide your points equally in between since they lose the strenght per point massively

Anyway lets start!

Rules are simple, dontlet anyone touch you! Because probably every single orc there has no chance and great streaght to put you on your knees in one hit. To achive this you will use that mask and warp around like a maniac! (I personally dont like doing this unless I absolutely have to in the mentioned situations above because its broken af imo). You will attack too no worries, in fact you will be the main damage dealer in your army. And to achieve this you have various weapons in your arsenal.

Before we start I am skipping all the main advices about exploiding a captains weakness or switching your elements etc. midfight for that and such. Also Assuming that you are up against a handcrafted fortress with orcs filled with No chances, Iron will, Immunities to literally everything (executions, ranged, fire, poison, curse, beast). I will assume that you are using my build too to explain things easier but if you get the main idea you can use whatever you wish :) !

Usually a captain with 4 immunities is extremely good find but you will end up fighting against 6 or even 7(max) immunities in orcs at those sieges! An orc HAVE TO have atleast one thing that he is not immune to. Players usually pick stealth of frost immunity for that because no orcs can cast frost and in a siege battle its near impossible to stealth attack (upright imposible in throne room). In this case you shold know how to stealth attack and do a good wraith chain in that massacre! There are two ways!!! YES! In front of everyone without cheating or anything you can stealth attack and wraith chain!

1. WAY:
You can stealth attack scared orcs!! To do this exept using specific gears there is a very easy way to do that, Brutal COLD perk under Freeze pinning skill makes grunts around flee in terror. So let's say you have full focus (which you should and be very careful with spending it! My build is a thing because I maxed all prestige skills! Otherwise I would use something that gives focus!) when you are in a horde of grunts and captains fighting it out in a cap point you should pin THE grunt which THE closest grunt to you CAN SEE directly in front! By the moment he got pinned anyone who sees him directly in front will be fleeing at that very moment so you dont have to leave your focus even before executing an instant stealth attack to the NEAREST orc to you!(Yes you have to get close to an orc before starting the focus use even and check where he is looking). When you are stealth attack you can chain it up to other orcs even if they are seeing you or not fleeing etc. So basically you just have to get a stealth kill to start the chain and work your way grunt by grunt to the captain that has every immunities BUT stealth attack.With a build like this you can be sure to shave off more than half of his health. This can be pulled off in throne room and hit the captains with stealth attack since nobodywill try to pick that immunity for orcs in there but it will be extremely hard to do because of the wide space and orcs scattered so far away.

2.WAY:

This is amore chancy way but when it happens its extremely effective. When you use your stealth dash ability you disapear from the view of orcs for a very short moment and thanks to our new mask this is spammable!Especially when I find myself overrunned by enemy I instantly spam space and attack buttons while holding shift (default key settings). I dash around the orcs and when I catch a grant with my stealth attack a chain can be followed up after that. I suggest you to practice this in normal difficulty around random orc hordes. When they can see you, hold shift and spam space and attack button. Alternatively you might have to dash away a little to disapear but be advised this doesnt work every time. Also this second way will not work in throne room since you can never be unseen there.

This is how you still can use your dagger in such a situation but you have many more ways to end the life of an orc.

As you can see I am using couple dark tribe legendaries. Its not for MAINLY their set bonuses but instead its for that amazing poison damage buff. If you are lucky enough to have a captain without poison resistance then he is as good as dead! But this is very rare occaison. So why use poison, to kill everything else! You see, you will need an army to win such hard battles and whats better soldier than already dead zombies that spams unblockable hits? Your main source of reinforcments will be raised grunts and to raise them first you have to kill them! Fire and frost attacks can be blocked by shielded grunts but poison bypasses their shields also if you poison a grog before exploding it makes a bale fire which also benefits from your poison damage buff! By the way you have to make sure that your orcs have fire and poison resists atleast if you want any of them alive anyway.

So right before Headbutting a checkpoint just shoot an exploding arrow of poison and instantly use your raise dead ability. How it works is like this; if your poison damage is high enough to kill a grunt on the contact then they are considered dead even tho they are in puking animation so you can instantly spam the raise dead skill without waiting a moment to have a brand new army. This is also another reason of dark tribe set. But be careful! during the raise dead animation you will be static and invulnurable for a very short window. You have to spam your dashing ability as soon as you are done with the raising dead because I can guarantee you there will be atleast 3 axes and 2 daggers flying in your way already!

So far to do anything mentioned above you have to have a lot of focus and might and especially at start these are big problems. For focus that mask lets you keep most of it and gaining focus after every single hit from the prestige skill is more than enough but if you dont have that then you can reroll a gear's secondary to get focus per critical hits. And for might you have vengeance gear set which equals to 2 executions when full health and as you can see I put might gain on crit on literally every gear possible. Why on crit? because every headshot counts as crits! so you are out of might? couple quick headshots and you have your both bars filled! ( Penetraitng headshots and hammers multiple hits doesnt give extra might so you just need to quicly hit headshots for might). By putting a green gem on a longbow you get yourself unlimited health river as long as you have enemies. Hitting 3 enemies are enough to give you full health which you will have a lot of meat to shish kebab in sieges (including your own orcs so make sure they arrow immunities otherwise they will take damage and turn against you. If they are immune they wont betray even tho they warn you about being annoying)

Lets say you have your captain
Without poison immunity = DEAD
Without stealth immunity (and covered my grunts) = DEAD
Without Execution immunity = DEAD (Just execute him with 4 times in a row with your might and health then a few headshots another 4 execution on its way)
Without ranged immunity = DEAD (spam arrows on his head and when you are out of arrows just do a chain of consume, after 3 orcs you have another full quiver for his head)
Without fire/curse immunity = (This is the part where your amazing berserker/slayer orcs coming in play) DEAD.... I hope.
Without beast immunity = DEAD!!!!!!!!! (they will have beast immunity AND beast slayer perk I can guarantee you)

BUT what if they have all of these immunities?
First of all dont get too excited if you see they are susceptible to frost perk because frost doesnt deal damage and there is not much you can do with it in such extreme situation.

In the case of them having all immunities there two ways to damage them. One is a normal attack and two is using Ringwraith ability.

My build doesnt let you have any bonus on wrath but I was still able to use it atleast twice in a gold run and I usually avoid using it outside of the throne room because you will be desperately needing it there and it will be a pain to recharge full wrath when there's curse weapons everywhere! So the only way is to using normal attack which is extremely risky especially every single hit can be your last or any cursed weapon that touches you will take away your hopes of getting through that throne room. The way you can do is simple... No spamming any button and be very careful about your surroundings. First of all make sure there are no drakes or siege beasts or graugs around and try to isolate the captain as much as posibble and when you cant isolate him then be careful with your positioning and always keep him in between you and other enemy captains.Strategy is this;

Never hit him in front and never stand still! Dash behing him press attack button once or twice NEVER THRICE! Because after the second hit he will be ready to counter the third hit! I usually dont take any risk and hit once before dashing again. But you have to be sure that he turns back to you befor dashing otherwise you will end up in his front. So be careful when you hit, it must be on his back. Also dashing through orcs momentarily stuns them and it used to damage them as well before they added these masks but it still generates might! That stun is your opening to hit a captain with counter. With a build like this you can kill him quite easly if you be careful.

NOTE: You can brand a broken captain if they dont have IRON WILL with shadow domination under Ranged Shadow strike skill no matter if they have ranged immunity or not. So in a good bad orc pile you can pick off those broken orcs in distance without getting any risks!

DA THRONE ROOM!
OPNEES AT ITS HARDEST!

I will assume the worst situation where all orcs are immune to everything with cursed weapons and no chances. I usually have a berserker or slayer as bodyguard just to be called in here. Situation is difficult. First of all if you need time or wrath just headshot grunts and raised them. NEVER EVER STOP! NEVER!!!

You have the previous way to deal damage to overlord with your regular attacks and you have your precious Ringwraith ability.!

The Ringwraith ability slows down the time and spawns 4 ghosts that doest slows down with the orcs and deals unblockable damages. But those ghost will be a distraction more than a source of damage. During Ringwraith all immunities are bypassed and your melee attacks are buffed to the mars. So pop Ringwraith and be sure you are BEHIND the overlord and spam your normal attacks. You will break him if not kill him in one Ringwraith. Second one wont be needed.


You might need some practice to get used to it but to me personally this is the most effective way to cut down those Overpowered handcrafted orcs. I would love to hear your opininons and ideas since trying out builds are my favorite thing to do.

Thank you for your time I hope this will be helpful to you :)

P.S: English is not my mother language and I learned it via speaking so I sincerely apologise for any spelling andgrammer mistakes.

TOO much text

[Pandora]

Thats why i dont try online conquest xd, i dont choose my uruks because they have "no weakness" but because i like them=deads in the first part of the siege. But its fishy if a whole fort is full of beast slayer (without weakness of course). Use of necro in throne, not sure: the bowmen will slaughter them? But i thank you for the ringwraith advice, i dont use it well xd, to straightforward. Good profil picture choice btw, Terror tribe symbol xd.

[「ai q sonim」]

Great guide, very detailed.

You mention strategies I didn't even know existed, and some mechanics that I find OP as hell (I shall try them to see if they are as OP as I imagine tho).

This post should be fixed. Too bad it's not possible, right?

But anyways, thanks for sharing all this information. Truly helpful. :)

[Omar Faruk]

Thank you very much for kind respond and compliment on my profile you are welcome! Also yes people are very eager to have those "PERFECT" fortresses and I cant blame them for it. After all enjoying should be the main goal as you play a game. I also mentioned about NOT liking doing those OP methods unless its really needed to. Lets have our fun shall we ;) !
