Fortress Assault: Overlord has 0 Weakness and all Immunity?
Is this a one in a million draw, or some manner of glitch/ hack?

Were you able to recruit? I don't think it is hacked. My advice is to use curse and melee attack. You could use a poison-proof bodyguard with a cursed weapon. Stealth attacks may also work.

If your body guard has ologs, they don't count as 'beasts' and can really keep this guy off balance while he works away at him with a cursed weapon and maybe you stealth him. I've seen this situation, so yeah not a glitch.

You can still use Elven light without the elemental upgrades if you want to spend your might on this guy.

I encountered him late last night; being both tired and uncertain if it was legit, I closed my game for the night, so he's probably gone now :( The 'Enraged' buffs he had in combination with immunity just seemed impossibly good; enraged by frost, poison, weakness, and 3 others.

This was in the normal Shadow of War campaign, not the Galadriel expansion (only done a few missions there so far). If this fellow can be recruited from the latter, I'll definitely be burning through those missions.

Elven Light is the ground-pound skill you use with r; it's in the base game too.

Oh derp. I use that all the time, just never put a name to it.

Yep those are pretty normal on online conquests at 800-1200 AR. There are a total of 9 immunities or so in the game I think and the highest immunities and 0 weakness captain was 7. 2 I can think of on the spot that aren't already shown is vigilant against stealth and curse proof.

My usual tactic is see what his bodyguards are able to be damaged by.

If bodyguards can br shadow strike pulled then go up and do that and dominate them one at a time, bring them back down and call a bodyguard and they do all the work for you. I even use the enrage followers ability to speed this up.

If none of the bodyguards can be easily dominated then it's back to glaive and run.

Wish I could find Orcs like that in my own realms :/ As for Bodyguards, that's how I typically deal with the stronger guys. Earning a gold-time run doesn't mean much, so I play it safe. I've already decked out Seregost with decent Legendaries, currently working on Nurnen. Hopefully I can get a super Orc of my own, eventually.

You can!

Just brand your target's overlords.

... Based on what? I've seen orcs with similar immunities during regular play...

If it was only the immunities then yes, i would give it some benefit of the doubt.
But if you look closer you will also see he has 6 enrage/hate effects as a tank class. If it was a beserker, it would be more believable but he is a tank.

Not convinced? At the most right, you would normally see a hint saying what the captain/overlord is vurnable too or can be damaged with. SInce he has no stealth immunity you would normally see, vurnable to stealth or can be damaged with stealth attacks (something arround those lines) however, there is no such hint. There is nothing. It's another sign that the orc has been altered through other means.

Yeah, oof; good catch on the stealth vulnerability.
I knew it was too good to be true, lol. Like, I might have believed the Immunities, but all of those Enraged Buffs at the same time was too much. For anyone who might read this in the future; the absolute best Orc I ever found (single player) had 5 immunity, 2 enrage, and 2 weakness; but also zero bonus Epic traits.

If an orc can be recruited in online siege, then it is legit. They blocked the recruitment of hacked orcs. So if you see one that looks too good to be true, try to recruit it and see what happens.

If you progress to 1200 attack rating in all regions of online siege, you will see many amazing orcs with very few venerabilities, and even 3 epic traits. These are not hacked orcs.
