So awesome to see you guys are STILL paying attention the Shadow of Series! They're my favorite single player exclusives games in the entire world and I have thousands of hours! Thank you for it!

[@daddyissues8388]

In my opinion the vendetta set is the best, it allows you to gain might from pretty much anything, aswell as use moves that require might without might by draining a percentage of your health, combine that with a sword that has certain percent chance to freeze enemy's and you'll have any orc you face down in a matter of seconds.

[@AA-jp9cj]

Keep updating the game!!!

[@ijustworkhere1008]

I have my own homebrew poisoner type build that works well against most enemies As far as weapons go, there's a bit of leeway for you to use whatever you like, but the three necessary bits of gear are: The Blood sword The Dark tribe ring rune (along with any other piece of dark gear) And a chest piece that gives you might every time you kill an opponent Then for perks, you need the poisonous variant of elven light and the perk that makes you gain might each time you are hit The way this build works is that when you use the poisonous elven light on a group of enemies, the dark tribe set bonus means that you gain back almost all the might you lose, which is further boosted by the chest piece. Then, the blood sword means that each of these kills gain you back health Good: Trivialises large groups of enemies (even those led by captains) Gain plenty of might Can take you from low health to max health in seconds The elven light can also heal ally captains Bad: not as effective in 1v1 fights with captains, especially those resistant to poison While it can be used to gain might quickly, you still need at least 1 might bar to use it at first (can be compensated for by using the vendetta set)

[@tristanbrown2885]

Haven't played in awhile, but I remember using the necro build by the end game and loved it. I started over since I recently bought the DLC (finally), so I'm eager to get back into the game.

[@theterrorofdimensions1326]

I love this game. The amount of gear options you get allows you so much creativity in deciding your playstyle, and how you best wish to combat your enemies. Experimenting with the different runes is also pretty fun, as you can combine them with your purchased abilities to make some truly formidable combos. That said, I'm a Necromancer build all the way. Basically creates an army with minimal effort on my part, and then all but ensures that this same army will be sticking around for a long time.

[@dariusnoname12]

Just want to throw it out there using 4 ringwraith 2 vendeta allows you to use raise dead even when might is not full. It is easy to raise dead multiple times by draining your dead allies from hidden in the back and using raise dead to raise more undead. Fight against up to at least three 5-10 higher level captains is easy. And by having vendeta 2 piece set you can use finishers if you have health. But this build only disadvantage is that most of the time you just enjoy a view of your enemies being killed by your undead army

[@dariusnoname12]

Also I use it on nemesis, so on higher difficulty this necro build variation is playable. Basically chill guy build xD

[@ShadowOfWarGame]

That's an awesome idea!

[@Tracker947]

The necromancer set is highly inefficient for a necromancer focused build. You want the 4 pc set for giving your orcs a 25% chance to inflict a random status condition, the necromancer chest piece for 40% chance for your orcs to be resurrected, and then a ring with both 50% reduced damage to uruks and 50% reduced damage to undead. Then find any commander captain to make a body guard. Bonus points if they're a commander necromancer. Summon your bodyguard, then climb up on a roof or something and watch. It's slower than just killing stuff yourself, but it is a combo that will kill any orc you're having trouble with with no issue.

[@steelsnake1493]

These builds will be relevant till the ends of time xd

[@heir8095]

A great developer will help show their players the best ways to play the game. Great content!

[@BoomDowg]

Undead/Domination build. Four of the Necromancer set, the sword, dagger, cloak and ring for all the raising and health buffs, and Mystic, bow and chest for even more damage reduction on dominated grunts. Just having an army of undead and dominated grunts that can literally take on Captains is a lot of fun :>

[@renegade1032]

You're lucky I just bought the game. Cause you've done all the hard work for me.

[@golcy2042]

[@huskken1294]

They should have made a mechanic where you can save some builds to switch to instantly mid game such as if you go from a Siege into a 1v1 with the overlord you could switch from the Necromancer gear to the Frost Build gear

[@SteelGod_BUL]

The game needs a save/load build (skills and gear) on the fly mechanic. It's a great game though! Will love to see a 3rd one without any online marketplace.

[@gaminreasons8941]

My typical gear is as follows. Urfael - Green Acharn- Green Longbow of Horrors - Red Servant's Blackened Armor - Green Mash of the High King - Green Isildur's Ring - Red Ideally the Bow has Freeze Headshot but that isn't necessary. I like this because it is a minion heavy build. Grunts dying? New minions. Full might bar? More Minions. Add your Bodyguard and your mount and you have an Elite Team at your disposal at almost all times. It makes Gravewalker an easy difficulty by the endgame. The Longbow of Horrors is mostly to get all the grunts away from me. They are the most difficult thing on Gravewalker and this neutralizes that threat almost immediately.

[@caos1925]

huh been watching this game from a distance waiting for a sale, didn't know it had builds, that makes it even cooler.

[@skolcole]

Just bought this game on the Xbox store a couple days ago for $9

[@oKingLexx]

I got on this game late, but damn its a fun ride.

[@Silversmith70]

I used to love the Vengeance build, but now that you cant shadow strike heal anymore, I don't really know how to heal back up, but it was so dang fun.

[@seanboyd5242]

I use my own fear ability build, wich focuses on brutalizing enemies and then brutalizing the running enemies or brutal executing, freeze pinning(with the fear upgrade), shattering enemies etc.

[@Crimson_Sun2486]

I have a build that is similar to the Necromancer build, except I used the Mask of The High King with the 2 set bonus from the Vengeance set. I affectionately refer to this build as the "Lord of The Dead". One of the pieces of the Vengeance set I use is a rune that increases health gained from draining or dominating by 100%. My usual routine against an Uruk Captain (Assuming that they aren't immune to executions.) is to start with an execution, then summon Gondorian Wights before attacking with the glaive, knocking the Captain down as well as the Wights. Then, with the ground drain perk, I actually drain one of the knocked down Wights to completely restore my health. After that, I use two more executions on the Captain, before attacking with the glaive to knock them all down again and draining another Wight. I just rinse and repeat that process until I'm out of Wights to drain, going back to square 1. It just goes on like that until the Captain is dead. As for siege battles, this build can conjure up a long lasting army of Wights as you use the glaive to knock down dozens of grunts and build up a full might bar in a matter of seconds. While they don't seem to have as much impact as Revenants, despite being faster and stronger, having Gondorian Wights not just as on demand minions, but walking med-kits, can be a blast to play. Not to mention when you activate the perk that gets you elf-shot after draining an enemy. Two words. Infinite. Ammo.

[@IYVNI]

4yrs back i read this comment and liked on my old phone. Happy to say that your build works after all this time.

[@Crimson_Sun2486]

@@IYVNI thanks for the like, and glad it does. Something I did forget to mention tho is how when you ground drain a Gondorian Wight, they're still there even though it looks like they disappear, the map says they're still alive and they're just invisible. And I've since updated the build to include the "Wrathgiver" epic sword that says it grants wrath on exections, but has an exploit that lets you gain a full wrath bar by using Elven Light on a big group of enemies as long as you don't have any elements applied to it, same goes for the Talon Strike perk. And since this can let you basically stay in Ringwraith mode forever and Wights aren't slowed down by the time slow on Ringwraith or when aiming your ranged weapon, you basically become an unstoppable army destroying god with an army of equally unstoppable ghost soldiers at your beck and call. It's fun as hell lmao 🤣

[@david-kc5hr]

Back before I had a set build u was using the fire build with a bodyguard who had a fire weapon and was immune to fire he constantly triggered the fire explosion because he was lighting enemies on fire it was a pretty decent set up

[@FR-lr2mg]

One of my favorite swords in shadow of war is the threshing sword from the machine tribe (also the dagger). Everytime you do a glaive attack your glaive explodes. So if it's charged you can spam it.

Nazgul build (balefire/necromancer hybrid) Urfael/acharn/any machine hammer with explosive headshots/blackened armor/standard nazgul mask/nazgul rune Use poisonous mighty shot and basically anything else poisonbased in abilities and make sure they explode in poisonclouds after death. First use any might ability that poisons alotof people then add fire by headshotting a single uruk or calling in your suicide bombers to finish the job with even more fire. The resulting corpses will make fine additions to your ranks for the next 30 seconds or so...

[@aikawamood]

I've made my own set... Well its adapted from a youtuber but I changed a few things (its super offensive when you're playing on nemesis) You have the executioner sword which makes it so that you have unlimited might for 10 seconds after killing an enemy captain 2 pieces of legendary feral tribe And 2 pieces of online vendetta missions So you make more damage with the nemesis difficulty, gain unlimited might after killing an enemy captain and if you don't have might you can just reduce your hp. Given that you have the online vendetta ring you regain 100% of your health after draining an Orc. The feral tribe stuff is just there so that you can instant mount the Graugs of assaults making this set perfect for 1v1 and assaults

[@warprifter8772]

you wanna know what would be the best scenario for a sequel? In the ending of the base game Calabrimbor's soul ejects from sauron's eye. There are clearly orcs left, but they are without a master, and Calabrimbor is without a host. So, inevitably some orcs that are still dedicated to the bright lord, few as there now are, begin to ritualistically sacrifice orcs using Talion's sword. Your orc (You as the player), is one of those to be sacrificed. combat is initiated within your mind with a ghostly recreation of Talion. a memory though not the real talion. Eventually you are victorious. And calabrimbor presents himself to you. This orc that you have chosen to become the next grave walker, will now be tasked with both trying to combine the orcs together. Needless to say, without the ring to brand the orcs with calabrimbor having put so much of himself into it, inevitably you'll have to do things the Orc way. You, become a captain and must rise up the ranks, you must manage the moral and trust of your fellow orcs by being by their side and working as a proper leader. but at the same time you must manage how afraid they are of you as well, so that a powerhungry orc must think how much its worth betraying you to try and get up to the top. This culminates into 3 status bars per captain and region, how loyal they are to you, how much fear there is towards you, and how much moral they have in their current standing. Loyalty can be used to make them more interested in keeping you alive for either their own benefit or for the sake of following you into situations they otherwise would feel is a stupid idea. Fear, or a better term if someone has one, is how afraid the captains are of you. the higher it is, the more they're likely to bend the knee just because you are there, or think twice about betraying you or straight up going after you without someone to back them up. in addition though if loyalty is low and Fear is too high, there is a higher chance of multiple orcs from your group turning on you all at once hoping to put an end to your tyrannic aggression. And finally Morale, the culmination that drives the army to do things. Loyalty and Fear can bypass this if they are high enough, but the lower it is the more likely loyalty is to falter. The more likely they are to turn to eventually start going behind their back to scheme for better things. and the less effective they are in battle, if not more likely to flee rather than fight when things start turning in the wrong direction. Each captain will look to you in different ways, even before they have met you. this will be due to reputation you gain as you progress. Your reputation grows the more captains you defeat or get to join you. the more regions you conquer. and eventually if it gets high enough, other orcs may just start joining you as you show your worth to them through your conquest. Inevitably war once again starts up as the remaining orcs that took leadership over mordor in Sauron's absence fight you for dominance of the region. In addition to this, the new ring can inevitably be found and used to conquer orcs that are more difficult to win the trust of. or to force them in line if they just refuse to be loyal. its more reliable and powerful. but overuse of it will inevitably reduce moral and loyalty as the orcs will notice you seeing them as less of living beings with their own opinions and more of a tyrant that will throw them to their death willingly for a simple scrap.

Angry undead. Outlaw cape and bow rest necromancy. Raging undead and heads hot those raging. Very good against a berserker in fortress assault.

[@musicformadmen]

I did a follower build to have as many possible followers. All the raise dead gear or vendetta gear to infinitely spam consume Iron guard Consume chain The upgrade that speeds up domination Dire caragor and the health sacrifice to summon more Shadow dominate More but I cant remember off hand

[@gotdamnjimi9758]

It’s still saddens me that they nerfed the domination build.

[@PeaceDeliverer]

Love the vid Thanks! Just got the game i like it so far, question to the community.. which build can i make in early stages... level 20, 25ish if it's possible? Thanks )

[@Mentoz4U]

Yo, I still play the game to this day. For an early build the ice one is pretty solid since it is pretty flexible and easy to setup.

[@GergiH]

Fav build: stealthly assassinate everything.

[@WellPreparedTreeFrog]

Unexpected!

i love shadow of war

[@Therealredknight1]

Easily the most slept on is a wrath set, with the vandetta gear, a long bow, the Nazgûl helmet that allows you to dash, and the wrath giver, it allows you to slaughter in fortress assault, defense, 1v1, and free roam, add a healing gem to bow and dagger, pin it with the beat down and you are practically a god

[@beaawsome2211]

My main build is filth..its runs vendata armor and bow with all other gear being ringwrath and cape is the basic nazghul mask for waters or lorian. So overall use health to raise dead+kill some to heal back or wait till they die. I suggest attack gem on ring for this.

[@arsalansyed123]

This game is a masterpiece

[@ninjatreefrog9346]

Necromancer is the way to go. If for no other reason that it is just bad ass looking.

[@saltymedpac3943]

Shadow strike with might build, no legendaries and all the teleport or submissions you need.

[@cheeseburger1270]

Why haven’t I played this yet I’m slacking

[@kulguyful]

A Dirhiel Skin And Saroun (Elf Mode) Skin would Just Top This Game Off! Come on Monolith !

[@blackblade99009]

a necro balefire build is good i rerolled one of the traits on urfael got poison and the dark dagger i had had a 27 second quick throw fire so as i was raising dead i was poisoning and burning people

[@jonahbanks8283]

I remember back when the game first came out and i ptr ordered, i got a rune that gave my sword a %98686839 chance to give an uruk/uruk captain curse/doom if the wrath was full. Until that is it got a major nerf to 18 percent.....
