I'm attempting to reach Paragon by way of rank up before the Event Quest for this month ends, and I was wondering who my 5 7-star rank 2's should be based on my roster. I'm going for 1 7-star rank 2 for each class and skipping whichever class I have the worst champions in.

I've already ranked up Vox, and I'm planning on ranking up Classic Hulk once I get the gold.

Tech: I'll probably go with Warlock or Guardian

Mystic: I'm thinking Wiccan, Rintrah, or Destroyer (as it's ascended)

Cosmic: I've already ranked up Vox, like I said, but I'm considering Scream an Hyperion as well (Hyperion less so because of my rank 5 6-star)

Mutant: I'm going with Dazzler. Pretty sure I HAVE to.

Skill: this may be the class I skip, as I only have 3; granted, 2 of those 3 are Yelena (who I haven't figured out how to use yet) and Crossbones (who I find to be fun to use, but I know he needs his awakening)

Science: like I said, I'm gonna go with Classic Hulk once I get the gold, but I'm considering Joe Fixit (as I like how he plays) or Titania (as I've heard she has her uses)

Me, I have about 3 overarching goals at the moment that I'm working towards.

1. To make Norsko here into a Stormbringer.

I've had this as a goal of mine for about... *checks script*... 7 months now, and I've had Norsko himself for about... 10 months now (when he got his cursed skin during a duel by forcefully going down a slip-and-slide by Mâku the Accursed; link below).

Originally, my plan was just to take Norsko the Merchant and cut off his arms to Stormbrinerify him. Key word: Originally. Now that Norsko has become the Kin-Slayer, and that I had an epiphany that Norsko is not the strongest orc, my plan is to take Norsko into the garrison, restart, make him a false Flame of War, then make him a false Machine, then Inflamed/the Burned, and then Stormbringer.

False Flame of War because of the fire immunity and fiery traits he'll gain. Then, because Norsko's voice'll be changed to Chris Butler's, which isn't one of the two required for Stormbringerification, I make him into a false Machine, which changes his voice to Matthew Mercer's, which is one of the ones required for making the Inflamed/the Burned. The Inflamed/the Burned has one of the two voices needed for Stormbringerification: Steve Blum (the other voice being Nolan North's). I'll then make Norsko a Stormbringer (which I have a guide for; link below).

Odds are, Norsko Stormbringer won't be a thing for another few months, as the goal I'm currently working on, #3, is taking much longer than previously anticipated (and that I'm not playing Shadow of War at the moment, as I've recently gotten back into Skyrim after an over half-year-long hiatus. It. Is. Addicting).

2. To make a false/true Flame of War powerhouse.

Yes, I've had Pushkrimp as my ultimate powerhouse for over a year, and yes, I love the pyromaniacal bastard, but… and I hate to say this… he’s a tad bit… outdated.

Of course, he can still win a 6v1 with relative ease, and he can two-shot a level 80 olog Tank, but here's the issue: he only has 4 immunities. Said immunities being Fire, Poison, Curse, and Beast.

What I plan to do, to replace him, is to find another Savage Berserker belonging to either the Mystic or Marauder tribe, and give them as many immunities as I can (namely: Poison, Curse, Beast, Frost, and Arrow), then make them into either a false or true Flame of War, to give them the Fiery traits and a Fire immunity.

Afterwards, I will have a new pyromaniacal powerhouse, and Pushkrimp Flame of War can finally retire from over a year of work.

3. To find and recruit Orthog the Trainer himself, and all my other old followers.

Yes, THAT Orthog the Trainer, the guy who is my user flair.

Orthog was on the account I first played Shadow of War on, my brother's account. Since then, I have gotten my own Xbox account (SAGE4610, for those wondering), and, as such, Orthog was lost... until recently.

You see, what I did was log back into my brother's account, then take Orthog, and all the other followers I wished to transfer (full list below), and deployed them into the fortress in Seregost.

I then proceeded to look at the fort's defense rating, which was 396.

I then went back to my current account, and have been attempting to find my old account's fortress in Online Conquests (since I couldn't get them in a Friendly Conquest). All so that I can get my followers on my current account.

The way SoW picks the forts you randomly get in Online Conquests is by looking at your attack rating and finding a fort that has a similar defense rating. What I am currently doing is continually winning and losing Online Conquests as I need to to keep my attack rating hovering around 396 so that I may hopefully find my old account.

Once I do, I shall employ my own fortress capturing strategy to recruit everyone: The Fear Farming Strategy (link below).

So far, it has been fruitless, but I will keep trying. I will spend as much time as I need to to get my followers back.

How about y'all? What are some of your goals in Shadow of War?

Full list of my old followers:

Orthog the Trainer (the main guy)

Ar-Benu the Gluttonous (who originally spawned without a title, meaning when he got the title of "the Gluttonous," he didn't become fat)

Ur-Lisak the Gentle (my first self-made Necromancer)

Kûga Thunderhead (a very cool-looking Pretender decoy who I may make into the Forsaken/Nameless One after I recruit him | he belonged to my main gang of followers that I took with me from region to region)

Ar-Saku the Red (a Berserker olog with a Flamethrower | a notable bodyguard of mine)

Ur-Lisak the Duelist (another olog with a Flamethrower | also a notable bodyguard of mine)

Ur-Kalmar Corpse Grinder (a notable bodyguard of mine)

Az-Laar Blood-Flood (just an olog I have a soft spot for)

Zunn One-Word (a very old Defender I also just have a soft spot for)

Ar-Pratu Iron-Arm (he belonged to my main gang of followers | Blood-Brother of Flogg Wrath-Breeder)

Ashgarn Horn Blower (a Commander with cursed skin that I have a soft spot for)

Dûsh the Grizzled (the second Trainer/Grizzled I ever found after Orthog)

Az-Gang Warborn (I just like the Warborn title)

Ur-Heku the Rat (an olog Tank with a Dire Caragor Pack, a Flamethrower, and Beast Slayer)

Az-Gang the Fool (another notable bodyguard of mine | he once betrayed me, and the first sentence he said after he did was "I have been a fool.")

Hoglik the Jaded (a very notorious captain for those who play on Xbox, who I've never found on my current account surprisingly)

Flogg Wrath-Breeder (he belonged to my main gang of followers | Blood-Brother of Ar-Pratu Iron-Arm)

Ugol King-Slayer (an Archer with blue war paint, but not blue skin | I have no clue how he exists)

Az-Agur Gore-Tide (an exhibitionist olog Berserker with Enraged by Injury | he belonged to my main gang of followers)
