How do I remove a followers weakness?
I have an orc that's really good other than the fact that he has a mortal weakness. Is there a way to get rid off it?

As you level followers, the will start losing weaknesses usually they end up losing all of them but that is not guaranteed.

Is there a proof about this, mines never did that

Couldn't you banish them and lvl them up hoping for that re-roll?

Better to just think of them as disposable. If you get a good one, great. If they have a weakness, throw them in the pit and let them prove their worth, or take the victor instead.

Your best orcs are going to die. Just get more!

They won't always lose weaknesses as they level but they can. I've had many soften mortal weaknesses into regular vulnerabilities or otherwise lose vulnerabilities entirely. They can also actually lose weaknesses when shamed. Much more rare and (I'd guess) usually also accompanies a loss of a strength (immunity/rage typically, I think). They do tend to gain weaknesses when shamed so that's not a thing you'd really want to use unless you desperately want to use every chance you have to make a certain orc redeemable.

Could chain shames and leveling them to try to ditch a weakness but you're really likely to just create a mess of weaknesses on them.

I'm still not sure if they gain the weaknesses because you're shaming them or because they lost the levels. I did notice one lose the same weakness again once it returned to it's original level, but this was when they were still an enemy. I don't have any recollection of my own orcs changing their weaknesses/strengths after already having been captured but then I probably didn't pay enough attention to it.

They should lose weaknesses as they rank up, lvl should just be raw stats like health and damage.

I brought my best orcs that have weaknesses to the fight pit. After awhile their weaknesses were removed. Cheers

which pit fight? how many fights in average did your follower win before a weakness was removed?

Seems vendetta guys cant change their traits, i think those who go in garrison to but need to verify.

should be true to an extent, if you notice when enemy orcs go up in levels, they end up losing more and more of their weaknesses. Its likely down to rng.
And here I thought it was all due to winning in pit fights these years.
