Orc Thug

Standard Evolutions:
Orc Thug I, II, III"'Orc thugs have 3 rules: keep your mouth shut, your axe sharp, and always lead with your head.'"

Elite Evolution:
Bonk"'As a trusted soldier of Chieftain Realmcush, Bonk pummels first, and breaks bones later. Asking questions isn't really his thing.'"

Strategy:
Orc Thug is a powerful debuffer, so use his Pummel abilty often to Weaken high-octane enemies. His Bonebreaker will severely Injure a target, so look for opportunities to prevent your opponent from healing a favored ally. The Unstoppable trait is particularly effective against teams that like to Stun, and once evolved to Unstoppable II, it will also prevent the dreaded Doom effect.

Items:
With his two debuff abilities, avoid adding Weaken or Injure items, and avoid Unstoppable items which won’t provide anything more than his trait already provides. However, a Poison item can provide some extra oomph. With his high health, try using a Protect item to really menace your opponents. Add an Offense Boost item to make up for his low attack stat. You’ll deal extra damage on top of his usual debuffs.

Team:
Orc Thugs don’t have a lot of damage output, so you’ll need some allies that can really wear down your opponent’s team. Hellkite or Executioner can provide powerful attacks, plus both have an Expose ability that will help your Thug deal more damage. Try a Dark or Rabid Wolf for their Howl buffs, or Robo-Knight for a big damage dealer and some Bonebreaker-Crippling Blow synergy!
