How to counter the sniper ability with arrow-proof sir? I'm really unbearable.
Hello sir, I'm asked about this before after I face the situation that I can not win, and I through that was the last time. This time is heavier, I just face with 2 arrow-proof guys with the lock-on ability, and 1 tank with the big shield that will always hit you back if you hit him. To be honest, the last time I ask for an advice from many good people but it does not work here obviously.

- Your bodyguard will fall not more than 10 seconds (3 hit kill what!?), I don't know why the arrow-proof ability of my bodyguard does not protect him from enemy sniper ability.
- You can't dodge or hide from an arrow (lock on and always hit).
- If you try to kill one of them you will get hit by an arrow from another.
- The strategy about drags one of them to somewhere and kills one by one not work because of their arrow-proof.
- You can not shoot them back.
- You in the situation of taking the fortress, so you can't hide in the throne room, you will die not more than 30 seconds.
- To be honest, I hit them only 2 times and then I'm dead. Seriously.

How to counter this situation, sir? this is very edgy for me.

ps: online conquest.

the last thing i'd like to recommend you using - the mask of undying, you can perform water of lorien without worrying losing focua, even you're posioned, you still can perform water of lorien.

They all are arrow-proof sir, and when I shadow strike to them I will get lock-on by a yellow line of sniper ability from another guy. I can only hit them a few seconds before getting hit by another arrow from another guy.

i'm confused, help me understand mate. you said they are arrow proof, then how could you possibly do shadow strike on them?

Thank you sir, firstly I face them in online conquest, so I don't think I will have an opportunity to identify them again.

1. Yes, every time I shoot him it will be the sound like the arrow broken and the Arrow-Proof UI will appear.
2. I don't know sir, he is the fat guy with the big shield and spear.
3. I never look deep into these information sir, it happens so fast. Sorry.
4. He is the purple one sir, I'm sure he is legendary.

It happens 3 times after I have to assault a fortress 800-900 defend points, and it feels very edgy when I have to lose to AI (Just don't know how to beat them).

Your bodyguard can kill the Overlord if he is strong enough. There are orcs that are almost unkillable by other orcs, even snipers. You can use outlaw gear so every hit your follower makes will be buffed with fire, poison, etc.

This throne room setup using two sniper bodyguards is OP, so more players will use it. We will need a good way to defeat it if we want to get gold or silver.

I agreed with all of you sir especially the word "two sniper bodyguards are OP", My bodyguard can one-shot anybody even myself while capturing him, but the real problem is he can't come closer to the enemy because he going to get shot first.

If they aren't Frost-proof try getting the Bright Lord's Hammer. Then throw some shots down by them (NOT ON THEM since they are arrow-proof) and keep them frozen. Cloaks that increase Freeze duration helps too.

Legendary Warmonger Hammer can be a moderate substitue if they aren't Fire-proof but they'll be on Fire much less compared to Frozen

If they're not immune to fire or poison or frost try using the explosive arrow ability upgraded with one of those, I don't think the explosion counts as arrow damage?

The only thing I could think of would be to bring an arrow proof commander as your bodyguard. He shouldn't be able to be hurt by the sniper shot ability due to being arrow proof, the commander will call in reinforcements, and call in the flag bearer to make grunts enraged. Then if the captains arent beast proof or enraged by caragors. Call in a dire caragor, use the beastly howl to call in even more cargors. The idea is to swarm the place with your army so the snipers will be too busy fighting to target you.

This is a awesome plan😁 also strike terror n all grunts with deep cold freeze pin and the grunts cowers n allow stealth n brutal attacks to build might

Chose a legendary berserker with two axes as your bodyguard, level him as far as you can. Summon additionally a graug to the fight and ride the graug. Smash everything so that the bodyguard can concentrate on the overlord. This tactic never failed at me.
