Orc Leaders are the commanders of the orcs' army. They are quite clever and know how to arrange the different troops - warriors, berserkers, spearmen, and shamans - to form powerful squads. They themselves are quite strong fighters that uses even throwing knives.

Knight hunting guide:
I guess there allready is one.
Paladin hunting guide:
I guess there allready is one but I can make one new if needed.
Kill: 30
Econ: 50
Tips: Orc leaders are quite strong for a low level paladin since they can throw knives and it might take long time to kill them since they got good defence. They often appear with orc berserkers,orc shamans and other orcs. So kill orc berserkers first,then orc leaders and last the other orcs. If you kill them in some place at orc fortress you can also meet orc warlords. Don't go there at lower levels except you go with blocker. The best spawn for killing orc leaders solo at lower levels is the second orc land tower before orc fortress. Be ready that you might use 15 bolts or even more per orc leader. At level 50+ you can try to kill orc leaders and other orcs inside orc fortress. This is safer since you got more hitpoints and use less bolts. Expect to use 5-15 bolts per orc leader.
Mage hunting guide:
Items needed (for a safe hunt):
*2 backpacks of manafluids or more
*1-5 backpacks of heavy magic missiles
*At least 1 backpack of UH
*Sudden death runes(Needed in life or death situations)
*1 Backpack of Great fireball runes
*Maybe IHs if you use summons
Introduction:
Singe orc leaders are easy, but at harder places you might need to take a blocker at lower levels. At higher levels you can go alone to hunt orc leaders in big spawns.
Hunting with blocker:
Orc warlords are quite easy with blocker. You should be using combos to kill them fast since they got much hitpoints. A good combo is using a poison wand/rod at the same time you shoot heavy magic missiles. But the risk of retargeting is big because you need to stand close when using poison wand/rod. Orc leaders can often come in groups with orc berserkers, orc shamans etc. So the blocker may ask you to use great fireball runes to kill a group of orcs. But the orc leaders are immune to fire so you will need to kill orc leaders one by one. You may also go harder places in orc fortress with creatures like orc warlords. Always kill the orc warlords first and then the orc leaders,orc berserkers,orc shamans and at last the rest of the orcs (orc spearmans, orc riders, orc warriors, orcs). If you want to kill them with blocker and nearly no waste you can try to use your strongest energy wand and exori vis.
Hunting solo:
Hunting orc leaders solo can be hard for a low level mage because they have not much hitpoints. If you want to kill orc leaders solo you should use heavy magic missile runes and exura gran when you need to heal yourself. If you want to damage more, use your poison rod/wand and try to keep the distance from the orc leaders so they don't damage you with meele. Try to avoid other orcs when using this method. You may also try to summon monk that can block for you and just shoot with a poison rod with nearly no waste. This is recomended if you hunt in orc land. At higher levels you can go to orc fortess and kill many orcs with nearly no waste. You will need to use your strongest energy wand/rod and exori vis. Orc shamans are immune to energy and run away so use GFB at them and at groups. Use exura gran to heal yourself when meeting some orcs and use manashield when meeting a big group.
Safety rules:
*Always keep your backpacks of UHs open, you never know what going to happen
*Always keep your backpack of manafluids and HMMs open so you can use it fast
*Always be ready to use manashield or exura gran
*Always be ready to use GFB when a group of orcs come
Attacks:
1. Close combat
Orc leaders can damage alot with close combat sometimes. It's easy to avoid by a paladin or a mage. But knights often kill them in close combat so they often get damaged. The orc leaders meele isn't so strong like thge orc berserks meele but orc leaders can still make up to 120 damage which is rarely they do.
2. Throwing knives
Orc leaders can also attack with throwing knives. This isn't so strong like the close combat but they can still damage much. Even paladins and mages get often hitted by the throwing knives since orc leaders are using them from distance. Orc leaders usually make 30-60 damage at paladins with throwing knives. The maximum damage of orc leaders throwing knives is 80.
. Btw I still don't like throwing knife screen
