Orcs Must Die! Wiki

The Orc Warrior is the basic enemy that will be invading the fortresses in order to get to the rift.

Orcs Must Die![]

Lore[]

There’s an awful lot of them, and if they get through the rifts, it’s bad - really bad. Do orcs have feelings, too? Maybe, but who cares! Orcs must die![1]

They’re ugly, they’re dumb, they stink, and they have a terrible dental plan. They’re determined to get to the rifts, no matter what stands in the way. Clearly they must die - and fortunately they die easily and in large numbers. Just don’t get too close; their swords are rusty enough to cause a nasty case of lockjaw.[2]

Shield upgrade[]

Orc Warriors will sometimes be upgraded with shields. This will effectively ignore all damage facing the front. Afterwards, the shield will drop. In Nightmare Mode, every Orc Warrior has a shield.

Strategies[]

A good strategy to do at the start of waves is to use the alt fire of the Fire Bracers right in front of the door before they come through to burn through a good couple rows of Orc Warriors.

Orcs Must Die! 2[]

Light Orc Warrior[]

Smaller, dumber, weaker, and whines a whole lot more than the orcs in the first game. Also they have an even more terrible dental plan. One Blunderbuss at close range is normally enough to kill them. In Nightmare Mode and Endless Mode between waves 14-15 they'll have shields. Takes 1 rift point.

Medium Orc Warrior[]

Tougher versions of the orcs but still one Blunderbuss shot in close range can kill them, but again, in Nightmare Mode and Endless Mode between waves 14-15 they'll have shields too. Still takes 1 rift point.

Heavy Orc Warrior[]

Even tougher versions of the orcs, and this time one Blunderbuss hit will not kill them. One Head shot from a crossbow will also not kill them if not upgraded. Again, in Nightmare Mode and Endless Mode between waves 14-15 they'll have shields too. Still takes 1 rift point.

Notes[]

  • Orcs lose their shields if they step on a spore mushroom but retain them when charmed.
  • Heavy Orc Warriors appear in every level in nightmare mode in Orcs Must Die 2.
  • Their shields also protect orc warriors from stun effects by guardians or converted ogres.
  • Shields disappear after being hit once by any attack.
