Badass Orc Warlord

Badass Orc Warlords are enemies encountered in the DLC Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep. They are large Orcs, wielding a large war-hammer and clad in armor.

Strategy
As much distance as possible should be kept from a Badass Orc Warlord. Their melee attacks are devastating and when used in rapid sequence, can easily put a Vault Hunter into Fight For Your Life mode. Like all badass enemies, Badass Orc Warlords are considerably tougher than most of their bretheren, able to take large amounts of damage. Badass Orc Warlords have three basic attacks; a ground-pound attack, a leaping ground-pound attack and swinging their hammer in a wide arc. All of these attacks should be avoided. In addition to their high health, Badass Orc Warlords have armored grieves, shin guards and a single pauldron on their left shoulder. A helmet protects their head against critical hits. However, Badass Orc Warlords are vulnerable to incendiary damage.

Coupled with their devastating melee attacks, Badass Orc Warlords have the ability to level themselves and other Orcs around them. They can do this up to five times, each time increasing in level and lethality. Due to this trait, Badass Orc Warlords should be taken out as soon as possible.
