Shadow Of War: 12 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

2. Orcs Can Work As Human Shields

Simple and effective, we've all been completely overrun in standard combat. However, although the screen can quickly fill with scores of orcs from their various factions, just hold R1/RB to grab one, before dragging it away from the pack.

Providing you do this on the fringe of any group, walking away with your prey means every other orc that takes a swing will do damage to them instead.

This is best done as a way to break away from overwhelming odds, especially if a Captain is able to be grabbed without first being weakened. Let the chaos play to your advantage when there are more bodies on screen, and get some free hits on your target before you recruit their Broken state later on.
