Question on Gondorian Wights

[✪ Wuhan Warrior 🍉🍉]

Is this Gondorian Wights actually good?

I have just finished Eltariel's campaign- not as good as Tallion's but I've got in my garrison some pretty sick uruks. This encourages me to continue on with Tallion's, at least until I got 100% completion, which is right now at 92%.

Now I need to know whether the Mask of the High King which summons those WIghts are good? Because Im using the other mask which gives unlimited Waters of Lorien (speed running) and it works wonders.

What's the difference between the Wights and the Summon Wights skill?

It's good but the unlimited boost mask is better.
The wights more or less just makes it so you trade out necromancy on orcs to get your wrath bonus with the use of might since those are the same wights.

The wights are pretty sick though, just brought them on a trial run. I kinda ignored the online vendetta captain and focus on his grunts and the wights were taking apart his health like how an uruk captain would.....

Yeah they are just as good as the one you do with the wrath ability.
But the dash mask does allow the player to cheese the system pretty hard while the gondorians do come with the fact that you sacrifice the ability to resurrect orcs with the raise dead ability.

Hmmm all things considered- I'm running a full 4/4 undead set and a 2 set outlaw which includes armor (allow health regen per kill) and ring (increase uruk dmg).

I can still resurrect orcs using Elven Rage, when you press 5 when wrath is full after the wights do their thing. Just that I gain might so much faster than wrath.

The wights are seriously good tbh. Also, if there's a need for instant reinforcements instead of actually trying to kill some uruks first.

Congrats uh, a new disciple of the dark arts... but are you sure the rune enhancing uruks is good for your style of play (undead arents uruks right)? Now i can complaint why no Terror orcs in Eltariel dlc^^. For the question about wight i dont use the cute angmaresque mask (not good skills for me xd) so i am a bit biased but even if we forget the gondorians (someone told here they sucks but no xd) but the wrath things is really good (big damage and not arrow so no immunities,+ the ressurection) so i guess you should have fun with the hood uh. But you should see for the rin, i have doubts

I don't heavily rely on undead lol. 98% of my army ranks are all uruks (alive and well). I only resurrect undeads who are generally better than average.

Both the undead sets for armor and ring aren't that good imo. One increases the raise dead radius, the other undead health, but I would rather the undead die so I can gain health off them. Also undead moves really slow and attack a tad slower than normal uruks.

The wights though.... is entirely a different story. 2 can bring a level 60+ uruk captain down to half health, and 3 or more can literally kill him outright.. at least from my plays.

Eh, half of my ressurections are bad key (want to hit but then i also need to counter and VOILA, 2 poor undeads for naught). So if you really like the wights things, dont the Bright Lord set good? I dont touch it, forget to go in the galgals but they could be useful for you. Serious, why english say "bright" and not "Light", it recall me "Blight" xd

I dont actually have the full bright lord set lol. Also I like undead as meat shields mostly. So I like going around killing mobs/usually just perfect countering them instead of spamming mouse 1 and hit my own captains during sieges.

Bright Lord is opposite to Dark Lord. Light is a term which Galadriel is accustomed to. Galadriel, Lady of Light, so WB the devs wouldn't want to go against or contradict the LOTR lore I guess.

I think the ring and maybe another one are enought.mm really mess up in this game, only 1 Bright lord equipement... if go back to get the others it will be the riot-_-. You should also spend extra points in the history (story?) bonus for courroux...Yea, all skills to get courroux (wrath? how do they say in english, the blue bar?)

i have a 100% Talion run, so i think I have everything unlocked.
Personally I've seen Wights be as deadly as a captain in terms of damage but as dull as a standard uruk frontline warrior when it comes to how interactive they are.
HOWEVER: if you use the 'Enrage Followers' ability, then they become ruthless slaughterer, turning captains into mince very quickly and they become a bit more cunning.
the best way to enhance further on this is to have a Bodyguard with the Commander Advanced Class, preferably a Savage or a Defender, Ologs are fair too. reason you want the commander is for the rage banner they bring, this also affect all NPC allies, from grunts, captains, bodyguards, revenants, undead and wights.
