Difficulty with pit fights

[FruityNinja]

I'm trying to do the last pit fight mission (champions) and it's near impossible to win. The uruk is always level 56 where as my best guy is level 43. I tried to level him up but, for some reason, your uruks level is capped to your own. Basically my uruks can win the pit fight because his level is too low and currently their is no way to level him up. Any help?

Have you tried coming back later when you are higher leve?

there is no real difficult in the pits, ive won with lvl 22 normal vs 44 epic and lost a 47 legendary vs 26 normal. Mostly i see the player orcs are almost idle.
arena is absolut stupid.
start the fight and if you may die, quit the game before you, or your orc, get killed and try again.

Before the fight, view the champion's details. See if you can find a follower that will work good against it, or atleast will survive. I also reccomend using Ologs, as they do more damage I beleive. Its really just luck. I used a legendary olog to complete it, level 44.

No its not, its the best way to lvl up your orcs.
- You need to view the the Orcs attributes and match him against someone who can counter it.
Silly logical things like if he is sickly, send a dude with poison weapons.
AND dont do vice verse.

Also not sure you have noticed:
- There are classes: An assassin will no do well against a breserker. Tanks will usually beat archers.
- There are tribes: Who give orcs different abilities, like chains who are an AOE attack that also stuns.

Also some common logic:
- Dont send a lone guy against a guy with a fanatic Olog Gang
- Dont send an archer against a guy with a shield
- Dont send a shield guy vs an Olog

Also some not so logical things:
- Orcs wont call their pet Graug into the pits coz reasons
- Bombs and Mines, the regular ones, are OP, and guy will usually win because he just stuns other guy repetadly
- Archers/Hunters are good vs Ologs

I find the pits almost the most enjoyable thing in the game, almost like a darker version of Pokemon. Its a surprisingly deep system when you take the time to learn it. Its not just higher lvl wins, there IS rhyme and reason for what goes on in the pit. And one CAN deduce the winner.

In fact I wish they will expand this system, so I can "export" an orc to fight in the pits against other players. In an invitational kind of way, you put ur orc out there. Someone challenges you, and you accept/decline.
I even suggest calling it the "Orcemon" nemesis system! lol

i know and look at it, had a guy with, idk what it is in engl, rangeweapon (arrow) resisst and he gets permanent stunned getting shot.
a other guy only run arround and nevermind to attack the enemy even he was broken by fear of caragor, lost this fight by time.

[Ogaburan]

He might just had an explosive shots.
Or a tracker with mines. (they have their own mines)

If you would have shown me the exact combatants, i can guarantee I could have told you 90% who would win.

Also immune to arrow is not immune to all arrows, just the players. Otherwise most archers an hunters and the tribe that gives the crossbows would be in a huge mismatch in the arena.

It is possible to win them - I was farming them for orcs by getting my low level orcs to die in pitfights so that I can mind control the high level winner before he runs away - Just keep repeating until you win the mission with the orc you got and if he dies - no big deal since you get a high level one.

Was a bit surprised when the lvl16 poison archer beat a lvl44 tank with a mortal weakness to poison :)

Thanks for the tips. I guess it was mainly a problem as I didn't have much variety in uruks for that specific region. I'll try that stuff out though, thanks!
