Master Mordor's infinite horde strategy in The Lord of the Rings Online. Learn to overwhelm opponents with Orc Pits and guerrilla tactics. Includes tips from Chaos Marine and others.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Mordor's Infinite Spawn: Utilize the Orc Pits' ability to create an infinite number of troops. This allows you to engage in a war of attrition, forcing opponents to sacrifice upgrades and ancillary buildings to counter your endless hordes.
  2. 2
    Strategic Map Control: Instead of head-on assaults, use the stalemate created by infinite spawns to your advantage. Sweep across the map and isolate your opponent's forces.
  3. 3
    Guerrilla Warfare Mentality: Adopt a guerrilla warfare approach. Focus on winning through overwhelming numbers and attrition, rather than the survival of individual soldiers.
Tips from Contributors
  • Chaos Marine's Evil Side Tips: Start by building 2-3 Iron Forges, then an Uruk Pit. Produce Uruk Horde soldiers. Expand to camps and build Lumber Mills. At outposts, build an Armory and either a Siege or Warg Pit. Get a hero when affordable. Against Gondor or Rohan with walls, upgrade the Siege Workshop to rank 2 and build Mines. Mines are highly effective against walls and buildings, but require Berserkers to detonate.
  • I Vegeta's Isengard Mission (Good Side) Strategy: For the Isengard mission, take all Ents and Hobbits north, luring the Orcs. Destroy the far northern wall, enter, and focus on the dam. This can complete the mission within 5 minutes, potentially without losing Ents. Saruman will appear once inside; you can choose to attack him. The dam only needs to be damaged to 50% health, not destroyed. Ensure Treebeard survives.
  • Raykersw's Gondor Battalion: Gondor Knights can be combined with Foot Soldiers or Tower Guards. Footmen take the front with Knights behind; they charge together, forming a unified line. This formation is still being evaluated for advantages.
  • Huu Tran's Merged Units: Gondor Knights merged with Gondor Soldiers slow down the Knights significantly, making it a poor combination.
