Useful Info

Orc warlords are the epitome of orcish strength and brutality. They wear heavy armour, come with a powerful two-handed melee weapon, and occasionally an arbalest as a ranged options. They can also send all their orcish allies (and they always come with allies) into a battle fury, making everything you're fighting hit much harder than usual.

They are moderately rare in the Orcish Mines, though one is often placed inside an end vault. They are also found in the Vaults branch, accompanied by orc knights. Can be found in certain Bailey layouts, always with a good axe.

Tips & Tricks

Orc warlords have no special resistances beyond increased willpower, so most tricks against other orcs will work well here.
With common stones and boomerangs, orc warlords can still hit for 29+ damage. Repulsion is handy if you have it.
Don't underestimate orc warlords, even inside the Vaults. Orc knights and warlords will might each other with Battlecry, dealing more damage than you'd expect from an "orcish mines enemy".

-'''Orc warlords''' are the epitome of orcish strength and brutality. They wear heavy armour and come equipped with powerful two-handed melee weapons and occasionally an [[arbalest]] for taking down targets at range. Even worse, they can send all their orcish allies (and they always come with allies) into a battle fury, making everything you're fighting hit much harder than usual. Fortunately, they are very rarely seen in the Dungeon, and seldom found even on the last level of the [[Orcish Mines]]. They will spawn in a certain [[bailey]] layout, however.

-*Having a source of [[Repel Missiles]] in the Orcish Mines is helpful, as orc warlords can potentially deal 35+ damage with even the most common thrown weapons (and much more if they have an arbalest).
